Hi Ira and Carol,
Amen to what you said about supporting the Oaks. A fantastic old thater.
Here is our offering.
This is an independently financed locally produced film, and I expect with the right cirmcumstance Berkeley could show one of these each week on a Saturday. There are so many filmakers in this town that you could . . . . You’ll have to fill in the blanks ….
I call this place “Filmtown USA”

MEO Productions and The Oaks Theater are presenting
POWER TRIP – Theatrically Berkeley
On Saturday December 18th at Noon at The Oaks Theater 1875 Solano Ave,
North Berkeley, there will be a special showing of Power Trip –
Theatrically Berkeley (78min) by Emio Tomeoni.
Power Trip – Theatrically Berkeley is a journey through modern day
Berkeley politics and theatrics. With exclusive interviews from top
policy makers and prominent noise makers, Power Trip is an unfiltered
look at the frantic pace of the activist and reactionists, asking only
one question; Does anything actually ever get done here?
Over the course of three years, filmmaker Emio Tomeoni submerged
himself in the activists culture. Starting with an environmental
thread (Berkeley attempted to be the greenest city in America) but
then, the story quickly pulled in many directions. From jumping in
front of cars, living in trees and disrupting Congress, whatever the
cause , Berkeley was there to be heard.
This unintentional comedy captures the feel , pace and message of a
very active public… following the loudest of the population. But do
they really speak for the whole city? and just how self-serving this
movement is , is left for you to decide .
Admission is $7.00 (a portion goes to the Berkeley Humane Society
Shelter Fire Relief Fund)
