In 1829, free Black abolitionist living in Boston David Walker published a pamphlet, "Appeal to the Coloured Citizens of the World," that sent shock waves of terror through slaveholding America.

Presented in celebration of Art House Theater Day! “Art house cinemas are community spaces and we need to make sure they remain a cultural staple where people get to experience art and chop it up together, organize and move things forward. Isolation created by streaming is a part of what allows fascism to grow and the reason why shared spaces are good for humanity. Art House Theater Day is a party you don’t wanna miss. It’s a cinema party!” — 2026 AHTD Ambassador, Boots Riley (director of "SORRY TO BOTHER YOU"). Synopsis: In an alternate present-day version of Oakland, black telemarketer Cassius Green (LaKeith Stanfield) discovers a magical key to professional success – which propels him into a macabre universe. Art House Theater Day (AHTD) is an annual program of Art House Convergence (AHC) that brings audiences together to celebrate all that art house theaters - and independent film - contribute to our cultural landscape: ambitious and innovative art that provokes, challenges, entertains, and inspires.

Please stick around for a special post-screening Zoom Q&A with Alex Megaro (Producer) moderated by Amada Tourella. An immersive archival documentary that depicts the four-day clash between the then-emerging World Trade Organization (WTO) and the 40,000+ people who took to the streets of Seattle in 1999 to protest the WTO Conference and the WTO’s impact on human rights, labor, and the future effects of continued globalization. “WTO/99" brilliantly makes the case for the Seattle WTO protests as a watershed moment in modern history—one with urgent significance in understanding issues we face today. The militarization of the police, the proliferation of right-wing media and fake news, the collapse of our democracy into fascism, and the ever-growing power of multinational corporations all seem to be taking hold before our eyes in this film. WTO/99 accomplishes this convincingly and artfully, seamlessly weaving together primary sources in a bravura manner” – Eric Allen Hatch Arrive early for film meet-up group and analog media swap hosted by The Reel You in our lobby!
