Let's see 'Secret Mall Apartment' (wIth director and subject in attendance)!

Join us Saturday in Somerville for an indie doc on maximizing business space for the betterment of a community!

From the Somervile Theater Website: "In 2003, eight young Rhode Islanders created a secret apartment in a hidden space inside the Providence Place Mall and lived in it for four years, filming everything along the way. They snuck in furniture, tapped into the mall’s electricity, and even secretly constructed a brick wall with a locking door, smuggling in over 2 tons of cinderblock. Far more than just a wild prank, the secret apartment became a deeply meaningful place for all its inhabitants – a personal expression of defiance against local gentrification, a boundary-pushing work of public/private art, a clubhouse to coordinate their artistic charity, and finally, a 750 square foot space that sticks it to the man."

Director Jeremy Workman and main instigator Michael Townsend will be in attendance for a Q/A after the 7pm screening! We can meet in the lobby I'll be holding a meetup sign and then find a row to sit together in. Reserve your tickets for the 7pm show in the Main Theater by clicking here. We can head to the Life Alive Organic Cafe afterward to discuss. See you Saturday night!
