ViV

Screen Scene

8 Days a Week : San Francisco Bay Guardian, January 29th, 2003

As regulars can attest, 'ViV and a Movie' is not quite the mellow night hanging out in a bar that its name implies. It's not that the vibe is uptight at these weekly gatherings. It's just that with two or three bands, several short films, and the work of up to 10 visual artists, there's a lot to absorb. And the only constants are a genuinely supportive environment for local artists and the innovative music of band in residence ViV. Tonight's mini art festival includes the haunting black-and-white photography of Julienne Estrada, light sculptures by Francois Egron, and the bold work of painter Dana Kirkpatrick, who also curates the shows. 'ViV and a Movie' started last summer and is fast gaining popularity – so go while it's still possible to grab a seat for the movies. (To submit artwork, e-mail dana@vivandamovie.com). Mondays 7 p.m., Red Devil Lounge, 1695 Polk, S.F. $10. (415) 921-1695, http://www.vivandamovie.com.
