Jo’s Cafe ‘Severed-Finger Cookies’ and Cinema Club Screening of A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night
SAN MARCOS, TX – Capping a monthlong celebration of women’s mighty contributions to filmmaking, the San Marcos Cinema Club will screen rising-star director Ana Lily Amirpour’s gripping black-&-white, Iran-set narrative, A GIRL WALKS HOME ALONE AT NIGHT, on Thursday, March 31 at 7:30 PM in the backyard of HomeBrew Supply.
The idea for the cookie stems from a momentous scene where the lead character — a skateboarding vampire who exacts revenge on men who mistreat women — chomps off the finger of a particularly abusive perpetrator.
Jo’s Cafe, birthplace of the Cinema Club, will be selling the special “severed-finger cookies” the week leading up to Thursday night’s free screening, which will also contain a special presentation by emerging filmmaker Vanessa Pla. She will show clips from her forthcoming indie feature WHEN WE BURN OUT — which was shot in San Marcos and co-stars Tanner Kalina & Temple Baker (both in Richard Linklater’s new film EVERYBODY WANTS SOME!!), Lorelei Linklater (BOYHOOD) & honky-tonk troubadour James Hand — as well as a new secret short.
Thursday’s screening also features free samples of eight batches of craft beer, courtesy the venue hosts: HomeBrew Supply, located on the east end of the Square. Entry to the backyard of HomeBrew Supply, where Cinema Club’s screening will transpire, is by way of the alley beside The Marc. Attendees are urged to bring their own chair or blanket to sit upon.
The “severed-finger cookies” will also be available for purchase the night of the screening, along with newly designed Cinema Club t-shirts; all proceeds benefit Cinema Club efforts to show free films across town this summer.
