Tonight at 8pm: The Cinefamily Screening Series wraps up their stunt month with a rare screening of "The Stunt Man," and some special guests. From Cinefamily:

In filming The Stunt Man, the quintessential movie about Hollywood's invisible heroes, Richard Rush hired many of the top men in the field, making the set a virtual symposium of daredevil talents. We decided what better way to honor these daredevils than by reuniting as many of them as we can, to swap stories, answer questions, show clips of their greatest stunts, and generally have a good time. Then we're all gonna watch The Stunt Man together! Numerous stuntmen, including many who worked on the film will be in attendance. The list so far includes. but isn't limited to, Steve Railsback, Bobby Hoy, Tom Morga, Erick Cord, Walt Robles, Jim Winburn, Gary Kent; not to mention the director, Richard Rush.

While you're there, pick up Cinefamily's schedule and check out upcoming treats such as Russ Meyer films on Fridays in February.

Fridays at 7:30 pm: THE PERVERSE PUPPETRY OF JAN SVANKMAJER Unsurpassed in his tactile, uncanny approach to experimental animation, surrealist Czech master Jan Svankmajer's films have inspired a generation of directors, including Tim Burton and The Brothers Quay, to expand their confidence in what is visually and conceptually possible in cinema. Whether concerned with sexual taboos or blatant political satire, Svankmajer's vision is always off-kilter, mordantly funny, and oddly sincere. - The Silent Movie Theater...
