Join us on November 19 for WNP Film Club’s screening of The Game (1997). In this psychological thriller, wealthy and dispassionate Nicholas Van Orton (Michael Douglas) receives a mysterious birthday gift from his brother (Sean Penn) and soon finds himself descending into a mad puzzle. Is it just paranoia or are they really after you? Fans of director David Fincher and his film Zodiac will want to see this early entry from his filmography and San Francisco in all its neo-noir glory.

WNP Film Club is a 4 Star Theater series brought to you by Western Neighborhoods Project, your friendly community history nonprofit, in partnership with Bay Area Movies and CinemaSF. Join us in celebrating movies filmed on location in San Francisco, with an emphasis on the west side. Each screening will feature an introduction by WNP’s resident film buffs, John Martini and Chelsea Sellin, who will share some background about the film and featured locations, including “then and now” comparisons. Optional Extra Credit: stick around after to unpack the movie with John and Chelsea and indulge your inner film nerd.

The program begins at 7:00pm on Wednesday, November 19. Tickets sales support both WNP and the 4 Star Theater!
