♦ The 7^th Voyage of Sinbad (1958) – 88 min

Central Park, 275 S. Raymond Ave. – 7:00PM Music+Food; 8:30PM Film

This fantasy film features the stunning visual effects mastery of the legendary Ray Harryhausen, who used a special stop-motion technique called Dynamation. Before wedding the Princess Parisa, Sinbad must battle an awesome collection of mythical monsters, the man-eating Cyclops, a saber-wielding skeleton, a ferocious two-headed bird called the Roc, and a fire-breathing dragon. In 2008, The 7th Voyage of Sinbad was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant”.

♦ Gimme Gimme Octopus (1973)

Armory Center for the Arts, 145 N. Raymond Ave. – 7:30PM

This tokusatsu (live action with special effects)Japanese children’s television show ran from 1973-74. Each episode is exactly 2 minutes and 41 seconds, and revels in audacious, subversive, and surreal humor. The star of each episode is Kure Kure Takora (Gimme Gimme Octopus), a red octopus who wants everything he sees and says Kure! Kure! (I want it! I want it!) all of the time.

♦ Free.  Select food trucks, ambient music from local DJs, and fun trivia with giveaways.
