What:
The Brother From Another Planet screens Sunday, July 12, at 4 p.m., 6:30 p.m. and 9 p.m. at the Arcata Theatre Lounge, 1036 G St in Arcata. Box office opens 30 minutes prior to screening. Matinees before 6 p.m. are $4 and movies starting after 6 p.m. cost $5. Welcome to a world of crude beauty… of danger and excitement… of wonders, legend, and imagination… Welcome to Harlem, Brother. The Brother From Another Planet (1984) is a film written, directed and edited by John Sayles. A slave from outer space escapes to earth. Except for his three-toed feet, he looks like an ordinary young black man. He crash-lands on Ellis Island, appropriately enough, and ends up in Harlem. There he makes friends with the owner and the regulars of a bar. Because he can fix any machine (by simply touching it), he’s able to make money. He’s mute, which proves more of an advantage than a disadvantage. And he can heal himself and others with nothing but his hands. His real troubles begin when two extraterrestrial bounty hunters attempt to recapture him and bring him back to where he came from.
