OPENING NIGHT – BLACKBERRY

SPONSORED BY HOTEL SAN LUIS OBISPO

Join us for an our opening night celebration with food, mingling and special film Blackberry. Come and kick off the 29th SLO Film Festival by meeting our special guests and fellow film and music lovers at this year’s Opening Night Reception hosted by Luna Red, just a few blocks from the Fremont Theater. We’ll have live music from popular SLO County band, THE TAPROOTS, along with wine, beer and appetizers to help us ring in the start to a great week.

BLACKBERRY
Coming straight from its premiere at SXSW, BLACKBERRY tells the story of Mike Lazaridis (Jay Baruchel) and Jim Balsillie (Glenn Howerton), the two men who charted the course of the spectacular rise and catastrophic demise of the world’s first smartphone. Recounting the Canadian company’s humble yet chaotic rise to market dominance, BLACKBERRY is a darkly comedic telling of the tragic tale of a Canadian company that revolutionized the way we communicate, before swiftly plummeting into obsolescence. NOT AVAILABLE VIRTUALLY.
