Back in the day, you could sit in your car, or bring a chair to sit outside, and watch movies "magically" projected onto a giant screen. Now you can relive those halcyon days of yesteryear with a decidedly 21st century bent. The 14th Annual Brainwash Drive-In/Bike-In/Walk-In Movie Festival is showing a wild variety of shorts this weekend including:

The Drill by Dan Seneres (Survival, control, and revenge in a post-apocalyptic world.)
Psych Burn by J.X. Williams
Human Park by Mick Cusimano (Dinosaurs go to the human zoo.)
Wiffle Ball by Jim Ford (It’s just a game. Seriously.)
Dead Boyfriends by Xstine Cook (Fire! Blood! Puppet Death!)
Severely Spaced by Mark McGothigan & Ure Thrall (The Cosmos redistributed.)
Optech 1 by Dan Monceaux (Deceptively simple Op Art-inspired audio-visual immersion.)

Sound is broadcast into your car or boom box using the wonder of frequency modulation ("FM")—in stereo! Admission is $9 each nite and each program is different. While not strictly an animation festival, it ain’t mainstream fare, either. Shows start at 9:00 p.m. this Friday & Saturday, July 25th & 26th. Visit here for program details. Go to the Alliance for West Oakland Development Parking Lot, 1357 5th St. at Mandela Parkway, Oakland, CA. See a map with directions here.
