This mural created by the City of Philadelphia Mural Arts program in partnership with Asian Arts Initiative and the local community uses the dragon, and the image of Asian Arts Initiative’s founding Executive Director, Gayle Isa, to portray the seamlessness of the past, present, and future. There will be a short program of speakers including Gayle Isa, Jane Golden of Mural Arts Program, Sarah Yeung at PCDC, and a representative from the office of Councilman Mark Squilla. Please join us as we say goodbye to this iconic mural. Light refreshments will be served.

AGFA presents EFFECTS (1980) – Tickets – PhilaMOCA – Philadelphia, PA – August 6th, 2017 | Ticketfly
American Genre Film Archive presents the Philly Premiere of the newly restored EFFECTS (1980)!
Cobbled together with loose change by George Romero’s friends in Pittsburgh, EFFECTS is a mesmerizing D.I.Y. frightmare that no one talks about, but everyone should. The movie was produced by John Harrison (composer of CREEPSHOW, who also stars) and stars Joe Pilato (DAY OF THE DEAD) and Tom Savini (DAWN OF THE DEAD). Landing somewhere between Michael and Roberta Findlay’s SNUFF and a student film by John Carpenter, EFFECTS is a meta-enhanced takedown on the philosophy of horror that doubles as a sleazy and terrifying movie on its own. Restored from the only the only theatrical print in existence!
Doors 7:00, Movie 7:30, $10 admission
