Movie Night in the Book Nook at Tecolote — After Hours

ENDLESS POETRY

At some point, you have to decide whose life you're going to live.

Alejandro Jodorowsky's Endless Poetry is his wildly imaginative, semi-autobiographical account of the moment he chose his own.

Set in 1940s Santiago, Chile, a young Jodorowsky escapes the expectations of his family and falls headfirst into the city's bohemian world of poets, painters, performers, dancers, artists and beautiful eccentrics—people determined to make art and live differently, whether or not the rest of society approves.

And because this is Jodorowsky, none of it unfolds quite like an ordinary memoir.

Reality slips into theater. Memory becomes fantasy. Streets become stages. Characters appear larger than life. It's funny, sensual, strange, philosophical, visually extravagant and deeply sincere about the ridiculous, difficult business of becoming an artist.

If you joined us for Jodorowsky's Dune, you've already met the older visionary.

This is the story of how that person came to exist.

Poetry in a bookstore after dark seems appropriate.

Tuesday Movie Night turns our upstairs Book Nook into a tiny cinema for independent films, documentaries, cult discoveries, music, classics, experiments and wonderfully difficult-to-categorize things like this.

Fresh GMO-free Amish popcorn and cold beverages will be served. Come early and browse—the bookstore stays open after hours exclusively for Movie Night guests before the film.

Private. Curated. Bohemian. 20 seats.

Advance tickets are recommended. There are only 20 places in the Book Nook.

This is a digital ticket. Your name will be on the guest list at the door. All Sales Final.
