What could be better than a film festival in a vintage theatre, complete with gilt ceilings and crystal chandeliers?
How about: a film festival with all of the above, plus a temporary art gallery showcasing jewelry, paintings and crafts from local artists–and different featured artists under the marquee?
That’s exactly what’s happening at the Warner Grand Theatre, for the LA Harbor International Film Festival in San Pedro this weekend.
Tonight, they showcase the classic Gypsy in the Warner Grand, and tomorrow is Documentary Sunday. And both days, the San Pedro Art Association hosts a pop-up gallery in The Arcade Building, in conjunction with the festival and just across the street from the theatre. They will also have a different featured artist displaying his or her work, just under the marquee.
Tonight, the scheduled guest artist is Krisjan Klenow, with her striking line of Steeling Pompeii jewelry. And tomorrow? Well, according to an email from the SPAA–it’s a surprise. But we can tell you, the talented members of SPAA will have you “oohing” and “aahing” even before you see the art-deco splendor of the Warner Grand.
San Pedro Art Association’s LAHIFF Pop-Up Gallery continues today, April 11th and tomorrow, April 12th, from 11 am to 10 pm inside The Arcade Building, 479 West Sixth Street between South Pacific Avenue and South Mesa Street, in San Pedro. Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Harbor International Film Festival continues with a screening of Gypsy in the Warner Grand Theatre , 478 West Sixth, tonight at 7. Then tomorrow, April 12th, “Documentary Sunday” runs from noon to 7 pm; here’s the schedule of films.
