Shortcomings Screening and Q&A with Adrian Tomine
Wednesday October 16, 2024 6:30pm - 9:00pm PDT

Co-presented with SF Sketchfest and SF IndieFest

Called “a sharp, surprising, and most welcome achievement” (Common Sense Media), the film Shortcomings—adapted by Adrian Tomine from his own graphic novel, directed by Randall Park, and filmed in part in Berkeley—is, among other things, a love letter to the movies. So where better to welcome Tomine back to the Bay than at the New Parkway, one of the East Bay’s best remaining movie theaters? In honor of the newly published screenplay, we’ll enjoy a screening of Shortcomings, followed by a conversation between Tomine and Andrew Farago, curator of the Cartoon Art Museum in San Francisco, and a book signing. Whether you’re a film buff, a comics fan, or both, grab some popcorn and join Litquake for a night at the movies! Doors at 6:00PM. $15–20 suggested donation
