From the Richmond Moving Image Coop comes more news about its Club Cinema: 8 Weeks of Experimental, Offbeat & Classic Films:
On Thurs., Oct. 11, at the Canal Club in Shockoe Bottom, A-V Geeks with Skip Elsheimer presents Schoolhouse Scandal: Educational Films about Bad Kids in School. A guest of the James River Film Festival in 2004, Skip returns with a special back-to school program entitled “Schoolhouse Scandal” — educational films about bad kids at school!
The films include: “The Bully,” “The Outsider,” “The Show-Off,” “What About Prejudice?,” “Dance Little Children” and more!
What started as a hobby a decade and a half ago is now a full blown passion — Mr. Elsheimer’s collection of documentary –aka educational, instructional and institutional — films of the 40s, 50s and 60s now numbers over 15,000 titles. Given the current outrage against the extracurricular shenanigans taking place in our hallowed halls of learning, you’d think that kids have truly gone wild. But the A/V Geeks present a night of school films from our past that show students have always looked beyond the Three Rs in school!
Doors open at 7 p.m. Show starts at 7:30 p.m. Admission $5. Click here to see more from RMIC about the upcoming Club Cinema schedule.
