Temperatures are back to Seattle nighttime normal but that only means you’ll need to bring a blankie to more fully enjoy the final two nights of movies in Cal Anderson Park this summer. CHS is a proud co-sponsor of Friday night’s Three Dollar Bill Cinema finale — details here — and we’re busy little co-presenters of Saturday night’s 5th Annual Bike-In at Cal Anderson Park. What does being a co-presenter entail? Lots of stuff but most importantly for you, we’ll be playing a little game with some fabulous prizes from Healeo, Tidbit Bistro, Broadway Video, Fuel Coffee & High 5 Pie, Cupcake Royale, Po Dog, Poco Wine Room and Vino Verite before the movie starts. All we’ll say about the game is that the movie is Pee Wee’s Big Adventure and we’re planning to have a very special secret word of our own. See you Saturday. And Friday too? Bring your blankie.

Almost last chance — but not quite. Because this kinda crazy thing is coming. More about it soon.
SEAT (Seattle Experimental Animation Team) in conjunction with Sound Transit, and with support from the NW Film Forum and Art Work Fine Art Services presents: Wallrus – The slow moving, ungainly giant movie, an eight part collaborative mural/animation created over four years on the surface of a construction barrier in Seattle’s Cal Anderson Park. Seven animators and one school group collaborating over time will take over part of the huge plywood wall around the Capitol Hill Light Rail construction – specifically a section by ‘the Philosopher’s Tree’ near the 10th Ave and Denny park entrance. Beginning Thursday September 9th this wall will become an animated mural, with a new animator arriving every six months to transform the wall entirely, culminating in evening screenings of ‘wall’ animation and selected films curated by the artist of the season.
