HIBBLETON FILM FEST 223 W Santa Fe, Fullerton Join us every Wednesday night in June, as we continue our weekly film series, curated by award-winning filmmaker Steve Elkins. This months films span diverse thematic territory, from a punk cat in space to microorganisms to fishing trips with Tom Waits to Somoan gangs in Long Beach. Each screening starts at 7:30 and is FREE of charge. See you at the gallery! Wednesday, June 18th: “Fishing With John (USA, 1991) With the possible exception of Twin Peaks, Fishing With John is arguably the greatest (and most hilarious!) TV show of all time. In each episode, John Lurie takes a different celebrity fishing abroad (Tom Waits in Jamaica, squid-hunting with Dennis Hopper in Thailand, ice-fishing with Willem Defoe in Maine, etc), though the show is really about extreme boredom and people who dont know a damn thing about fishing. Join us for our marathon resurrection of a show so good that the network had to pull the plug before it even got through its first season. Wednesday, June 25th: My Crasy Life (Long Beach and Samoa, 1992) After making anarchic and radical political films with Jean-Luc Godard throughout the 1970s, French filmmaker Jean-Pierre Gorin made this stunning documentary about Samoan gangs in Long Beach. We will also discuss the work of punk filmmaker Allison Anders who released a film with the same title two years later, about Chicano girl gangs in Echo Park, Los Angeles.
