You will be able to reminisce about your summer adventures and travel the world with the help of the SF-made short The Typist and 8 classic, cult and award winning films. Please view the full program below.

You are very welcome to arrive earlier for the pre-party at 7.30PM. Firehouse 8 beer and wine bar will be there to quench your thirst. The location of the venue is very central (between Van Ness Ave and Polk Street) so parking spots are limited. Public transportation is highly recommended.

Programme
Local selection:
TYPIST (2013) Dor. by Abraham Heisler
A young man, as outdated as the typewriter he carries, seeks acceptance in a world divided by technology. He travels from park to hipster cafe searching for 'his type' only to be rejected by technophile enthusiasts on their iPhones and iPads. Persistence sees the typist through, enabling him to find community in the most unexpected of places.
