Special Event: Singletrack High, Nov 9, 10:30AM

Posted on by

A special screening of ‘Singletrack High’ will be held at Rialto Cinemas Cerrito on Saturday, November 9th at 10:30am.

Tickets are $15.

Proceeds from ticket sales go to benefit the EL CERRITO OPEN SPACE FUND  and the EL CERRITO and ALBANY HIGH SCHOOL MOUNTAIN BIKE TEAMS.

This inspiring documentary showcases the extraordinarily positive impacts of the high school cycling movement.

Taking a close look at the National Interscholastic Cycling Association’s (NICA) northern California (NorCal) High School Cycling League, Singletrack High follows a diverse group of high school students through the 2012 mountain bike racing season. The film explores the wide range of positive outcomes from keeping adolescents active on bikes at an age when many are trading in two wheels for four. For hundreds of kids in Northern California, the ride never stops…it gets faster. They come from the mountains, the suburbs, and the city. Some ride carbon fiber race bikes, others old steel clunkers. They ride to win, to finish, and to escape. For six weekends every spring, they don their school colors, roll up to the start line, and fly.

It’s October…so it is time for The Exorcist! Oct 10, 7pm

Posted on by

Novelist William Peter Blatty based his best-seller on the last known Catholic-sanctioned exorcism in the United States. Blatty transformed the little boy in the 1949 incident into a little girl named Regan, played by 14-year-old Linda Blair. Suddenly prone to fits and bizarre behavior, Regan proves quite a handful for her actress-mother, Chris MacNeil (played by Ellen Burstyn, although Blatty reportedly based the character on his next-door neighbor Shirley MacLaine). When Regan gets completely out of hand, Chris calls in young priest Father Karras (Jason Miller), who becomes convinced that the girl is possessed by the Devil and that they must call in an exorcist: namely, Father Merrin (Max von Sydow). His foe proves to be no run-of-the-mill demon, and both the priest and the girl suffer numerous horrors during their struggles.

Re: Sundar Shadi’s Gifts, Free Screening, October 20, 11AM

Mr. Shadi actually began his display in a vacant lot next to his house on the Arlington. It was only after he passed that his display appeared at the PG&E right-of-way at Schmidt and Moeser. Our apologies for the mis-information.
