Movies @ Cafe Hey!

From an email release:

Cafe Hey is pleased to host free movies throughout the year. We generally show two free movies a month. We choose these movies from local productions, personal favorites, and cult classics. Movies typically start at 7pm unless otherwise noted.

The ambiance is relaxed and social, and most importantly, within the comfort of air-conditioning. BYOB is encouraged, as is heckling (unless it is discouraged by fellow viewers). We project the movies on a large screen that is easily seen by the entire room while facing towards the screen, with our super surround sound system that rivals THX for engineering quality. The full Cafe Hey menu is available during films.

Cafe Hey summer movie schedule:
June 12 The Brain That Wouldn't Die
June 26 At War with the Army
July 17 Bloody Pit of Horror
July 31 A Boy and His Dog
August 14 Last Woman on Earth
August 28 The Life of Oharu
September 11 (TBA)
September 25 Salt of the Earth

Note: Local filmmakers are encouraged to submit their films! We want to encourage local art!

Contact Anne or Cheong for more info.
Cafe Hey is located at 1540 N. Franklin Street; Tampa, FL 33602.
