Temescal Street Cinema 2011: Outdoor Films & Live Music | Oakland

Submitted by the Event Organizer

The Temescal Street Cinema homegrown outdoor film series is back for 2011 showing films on the side of the Bank of the West Building in Oakland, with live music, films and free popcorn.

Rather than showing boring major blockbusters, these are strange and interesting films by Bay Area artists and filmmakers that you’re unlikely to see anywhere else.

While struggling with kidney failure, performing dialysis daily and waiting for an organ donor, musician Pat Spurgeon’s commitment to touring with indie pop band Rogue Wave is put to the test.
