Paris 1913. At the Theatre Des Champs-Elysees, Igor Stravinsky premieres his The Rite Of Spring. Coco Chanel attends the premiere and is mesmerized...But the revolutionary work is too modern, too radical: the enraged audience boos and jeers. A near riot ensues. Stravinsky is inconsolable. Seven years later, now rich, respected and successful, Coco Chanel meets Stravinsky again - a penniless refugee living in exile in Paris after the Russian Revolution. The attraction between them is immediate and electric. Coco offers Stravinsky the use of her villa in Garches so that he will be able to work, and he moves in straight away, with his children and consumptive wife. And so a passionate, intense love affair between two creative giants begins...

We've had a lot of great response to this film, so we're holding it over for another screening this Sunday, August 1st., but the end is near, so don't put off seeing this fabulous documentary. Make a date; come reminisce with us. We booked this wonderful documentary about a time and place in San Francisco that many of us Bay Area refugees remember fondly. We know many of you out there can recall this unforgettable place known as Playland at The Beach. And those of you not familiar will certainly rejoice in a look at a time and place that no longer exists. Located next to Ocean Beach, Playland was torn down in 1972 to make way for a condominium development. Gone now for more than 3 decades, it remains one of the city’s lost treasures. Go back in time to see Laffing Sal, the Fun House, the Carousel, the Big Dipper, the Diving Bell, Dark Mystery, Limbo, Fun-tier Town, and much, much more, all through the eyes of the people who were there. A wondeful ride in the time machine. make a point to be here!
