THE LOST WORLD WITH DENGUE FEVER
Tuesday, May 5

On Tuesday, May 5, the great, genre-busting pop band Dengue Fever will perform the world premiere of their newly composed score for the first cinematic adaptation of Arthur Conan Doyle’s adventure yarn The Lost World at the Castro Theatre as part of the 52nd San Francisco International Film Festival. Of course, this archetypal voyage to a forbidden South American plateau teeming with prehistoric flora and fauna was Oakland-born Willis O’Brien’s principal warmup for King Kong—right down to the climactic rampage of a captured brontosaur in downtown London.

Tickets are $15 and are on sale now for San Francisco Film Society members whose memberships are valid through the 5/8/09. General public tickets are $20. Buy now.
