A Glow in the Dark: Helmcken Alley Film Screening
Friday August 14, 9pm
Helmcken Alley behind Open Space, 510 Fort St.
Entry by parking lot at Fort and Langley streets
On Friday August 14, 9:00pm, Open Space and CineVic Society of Independent Filmmakers will screen a selection of short experimental and educational 16mm films from the CineVic archives in Helmcken Alley.
CineVic’s extensive 16mm film library is available for CineVic members and the public to view. A program of classic National Film Board works and educational reels will light up the alley with the warm blush of celluloid, temporarily transforming this overlooked passageway into an outdoor theatre. Carrousel, Mount Chopaka Easter Sunday Jackpot Rodeo and Dance Squared, among others will be screened. Open Space will provide popcorn and refreshments.
Historic Helmcken Alley remains one of Victoria’s most infamous and consequently interesting corridors. Today the alley channels curious flaneurs, the city’s homeless and traffic from ghost tours between the commercial bustle of Bastion Square and Open Space’s home - Fort Street.
Open Space and CineVic welcome everyone to this event. Admission is by donation.
Please note, in the event of rain, this program will be rescheduled.
