WNP Film Club is a film series at the 4 Star Theater brought to you by Western Neighborhoods Project, your friendly community history nonprofit, in partnership with Bay Area Movies. Join us in celebrating movies filmed on location in San Francisco, with an emphasis on the west side. Each screening will feature an introduction by WNP’s resident film buffs, John Martini and Chelsea Sellin, who will share some background about the film and its featured locations, including historical images from the OpenSFHistory photo archive. Optional Extra Credit: stick around after the movie to chat with John and Chelsea and indulge your inner film nerd.

We are screening the 1993 comedy classic So I Married an Axe Murderer on Thursday, June 12. Mike Myers stars as Charlie Mackenzie, a poet who falls in love with a North Beach butcher…who may be applying her knife skills to more than just delectable meats. Because Myers is Myers, he also plays Charlie’s father. Featuring haggis, many classic San Francisco locations, including not one! but two! west side churches, and a hilarious trip to Alcatraz with Phil Hartman.

The program begins at 7:00pm. Tickets sales support both WNP and the 4 Star Theater!
