Love The Tonight Show? Then you won't want to miss

Love The Tonight Show? Then you won't want to miss The Sit-In: Harry Belafonte Hosts the Tonight Show - now playing in The Cove Theater!

In early 1968, racial tensions were inflaming the nation and a divisive election was underway. America was exploding politically and culturally, much like today. THE SIT-IN: HARRY BELAFONTE HOSTS THE TONIGHT SHOW chronicles a remarkable moment during February 1968, when for one week, singer, actor and civil rights activist Harry Belafonte took over the desk as guest host of Johnny Carson’s iconic “Tonight Show.” It was the first time an African-American hosted a late night television show for an entire week.

All "hale" Tony! (Get it?) You're not going to wan

All "hale" Tony! (Get it?)
You're not going to want to miss out on Eat Wheaties at this year's fest. Join us at Cuervo Theater for this feature film starring Tony Hale, Elisha Cuthbert, Alan Tudyk, Paul Walter Hauser, Danielle Brookers, and Sarah Chalke.

After being named co-chair of his college reunion, lonely software executive Sid Straw (TONY HALE) joins Facebook and reaches out to his former classmates - including celebrity actress Elizabeth Banks. But Sid’s struggles to connect in real life, particularly his sister in law (ELISHA CUTHBERT), lead him to spend more and more time on the star’s fan page, causing his life to unravel. With a restraining order preventing him from even attending the reunion, Sid must hire a discount lawyer (Paul Walter Hauser) and fight back, while rediscovering the best version of himself he'd lost along the way.

Passes start at JUST $39- get yours today at sdfilmfest.com ⭐️

Ground control to Major Tom: have you got your pas

Ground control to Major Tom: have you got your pass to see Stardust yet?

Meet David before Bowie. One of the greatest icons in music history. But who was the young man behind the many faces? In 1971, a 24-year-old David Bowie (Johnny Flynn) embarks on his first road trip to America with Mercury Records publicist Ron Oberman (Marc Maron), only to be met with a world not yet ready for him.

STARDUST offers a glimpse behind the curtain of the moments that inspired the creation of Bowie’s first and most memorable alter ego, Ziggy Stardust, capturing the turning point that cemented his career as one of the world’s greatest cultural icons.

Get your pass to the 2020 Re-Imagined San Diego Film Festival today at sdfilmfest.com!
