Fri, Dec 5th - Village Green and Glass Grenade Productions Presents:
DrFameus (featuring Allen Aucoin of The Disco Biscuits)
"Dr. Fameus, a guru of sound, began natural melody and TBM (Traditional Beat Medicine) in 2001. While surgery and healing beats have been given on a more personal level the doctor is looking forward to treating the masses with his delectable ear candies. Give the doctor a visit."
Random Movement
"The sound of Random Movement is a bit difficult to describe. Samples stand out from a wide variety of old soul/funk/dub/jazz albums, and the overall style of production, writing and orchestration definitely reflects that. The music feels like a hot beach at sunset, like that small club you used to go to back in the day that has long since shut its doors, like the good memories of how things used to be. Deep rolling basslines, good swingin breaks, and 10 tons of soul--Definitely a source of that feel-good vibe. One word seems to get tossed around alot to describe the Random Movement drum and bass sound, and that word is...Deep."
with DJ Ross D and Chris Crompton

About the 941 Theater
The 941 Theater is an independent theater space; the main use is for movie screenings augmented by occasional live theater and music performances. There are not many places in Philadelphia like this and we are certainly the only Movie Theater serving the Northern Liberties, Fishtown, Kensington and Port Richmond areas. We plan to breathe new life into the neighborhood and film community with our theater space.
The bulk of our programming will be first run independent feature films. In addition we will have the ability to host community based events, screenings from local university students and filmmakers and other events that would bring culture to Northern Liberties.
Outside of the regular screening schedule, we are working with local production companies and artists to bring a diverse blend of programming to the 941 Theater. Our first non-film event will be the Big Art Show on Saturday, April 26th, an all day art celebration featuring over 40 artists from all over Philadelphia. We will also be hosting established film programmers both local and national to bring the finest screening selections from around the world.
For the film production industry, the 941 Theater will be available for Film/Video Dailies Screenings with space for full crew and catering, cast and crew screenings, press screenings, Film, video & arts instructional seminars, Ongoing Art or Video Gallery/Installations.
We all agree that film production is good for the economy and the culture of the city. We picture a Philadelphia where film productions of all sizes can be self sustaining: reinforcing the production industry and labor pool. Additionally we picture the 941 Theater as a national destination for first run screenings for the dynamic new cinema of the twenty first century.
The 941 Theater will provide access for the people of Northern Liberties and all of Philadelphia to a broader variety of films by programming films that are not available here because there is no venue for them. Thousands of independent films are released to American and International theaters every year, but unfortunately only a small percentage of those films are screened in Philly.
The 941 Theater has received written support from the Greater Philadelphia Film Office, 1st District Councilman Frank DiCicco, State Representative Mike O’Brien, The Northern Liberties Neighborhood Association as well as several local businesses and artists.
About the 941 Theater Founders:
For the last six years the 941 Theater partners have been producing the Backseat Film Festival with semi-annual events in Philadelphia (Roxy Theater, Triangle Theater), New York (Pioneer Theater) and Baltimore (Creative Alliance Performance Space). Additionally, Backseat Conceptions has been doing business in Philadelphia as a production company for five years and have a good reputation with local film fans as well as vendors who would benefit from a new independent theater in Northern Liberties.
