Echo Park Film Center's Filmmobile Screenings

The Filmmobile is back from its summer hiatus to bring you films on wheels screened in unusual outdoor locations. Here’s what’s coming up:

ROLLER BOOGIE – Friday, August 13 at 8:00 pm
“Roller Boogie is one movie you won’t want to miss! In addition to the roller skating scenes, the fantastic music, slapstick humor–and tender love scenes, you’ll find some of the cutest guys you’d ever hope to meet. Jim Bray stars as Bobby James, the skating champion (and Olympic hopeful) who sweeps pretty co-star Linda Blair off her feet (literally). In real life, Jim’s a skater, but now that he’s had a taste of acting, he really thinks he might like to make a career of it. And when you see Jim in the movie, you’ll have to agree he’s the cutest thing on wheels.” – Tiger Beat Magazine

All screenings are free and open to the public. The locations are secret until a few hours before the screening. You can call (213-484-8846), email (info@echoparkfilmcenter.org) or follow them on Twitter (http://twitter.com/EPFCfilmmobile).

About the film:
Coming Home demonstrates how one community in The Berkshires has successfully reclaimed their ability to take care of their neighbors, public spaces, air, water and land. From the founding of our nation’s first Community Supported Agricultural farm by Robyn Van En to economic re-development based on Community Land Trusts and the local BerkShares currency.
According to the E.F. Schumacher Society: Bailing out multinational banking corporations, if successful, will just put us back on track for more growth on the Titanic “free market global economy” where the rich keep getting richer while the planet gets destroyed. BerkShares, on the other hand, and the local banks that provide them within the community, offer the ability for citizens to completely reinvent how commerce is done and reclaim control over how we earn and spend our money.
