Yard Sale!


Come buy my stuff! My house got hit in the tornado, and my new place is smaller and bills really suck, so I'm getting rid of a ton of cool stuff. MINT Gallery will be there selling fresh art on the cheap, and more. A local rescue group will be there at noon for you to meet their furry friends as well. So come out, have a mimosa, and buy some stuff! Everything has to go!

Tonight marks the opening of the Portal Film Fest
at PushPush Theater. The Portal Film Fest is part of an
international artist exchange, where creators travel overseas
and engage in critical discussion of creative works.
Each weekend in May, a new program is screened.
A few of the filmmakers will be in attendance, so come out
and start a conversation. Maybe your film will be screening
in their home country next...

Portal Film Fest
all this month at PushPush Theater

Fridays & Saturdays at 8pm
Sundays at 7pm

Bellury & Forrester
Kavarna
7pm-midnight
FREE

"Explore the minds of two of Atlanta's most
unexplored minds. Badass art work and
surprises for all. Bellury brings the noise
with his complex thermocautery of the mundane.
Forrester slams the eyes into skew deviation
and drops jaws into Sjogren's syndrome with
a fresh body of work from the dark highways
of life. Don't miss this incredible power house
show at Kavarna in Oakhurst."

These lifelong friends come together with
incredible energy. The show is sure to be
memorable. Andrew's brewed up some
homemade root beer, so belly up and ask him
about his "family portrait".

Each week SideShow features a new editor who creates a series
of slides and moving images that the improvisors perform from,
using it as a suggestion and as an environment. It’s all up to the
twisted mind of the editor. Don't miss Tak Masuda's show tonight!

Go see little Josh Brolin (No Country for Old Men) cutting his teeth. Go early and check out the Pirate Art group show by some Atlanta faves. If you haven't been to this monthly event, go. And go early because the art is cheap, and the talk is cheaper.

Bobb Lovett - local filmmaker and photographer, and curator of the recent Pullman Yard Show - is having his first solo art show tonight at Octane Coffee Bar & Lounge on the westside. An ardent traveler and explorer, he has spent the last 5 years uncovering and photographing some of Atlanta's overlooked and forgotten spaces. Here, his approach appears less as documentary, and more like portraiture. Though many of the photos are of derelect or decrepit buildings and spaces, they carry a real sense of warmth and comfort, much like home. In This is MY Atlanta, Bobb shares with us his urban exploration of and love for Atlanta.

Thursday, May 1



New Street Gallery is hosting a new weekly film series called Cinemama!
Go and check out some greats for free, and don't be stingy on the donations.
We need events like this around town, so please help them stay alive. Go ahead - Venture Out. More info below...


THIS THURSDAY, MAY 1, 8PM at the New Street Gallery:
City Lights (Charlie Chaplin, 1931 / 87 minutes, Silent BW)

Often cited as Chaplin's best movie as well as one of the best movies of all time, City Lights is a tender love story between the Tramp and a blind girl (Virginia Cherrill). As with all of Chaplin's films, there is no shortage of slapstick humor and perfect comedic timing here. But the real brilliance of the movie is how emotionally relevant and resonant it still is today. A perfect blend of the tragic and the comic unique only to Chaplin, it slowly builds into one of the most memorable endings in cinematic history.

~
