If you, like Roger Ebert ^[1], have heard about the intensely indie oddball feature-length animation Sita Sings the Blues, then you don’t need me to tell you what “the greatest breakup story ever told” is all about or why it’s such a phenomenon.

And if you’ve been sighing over the unfortunate copyright circumstances ^[2] that make this film the most intriguing piece of Flash cinema you’ll never get to see, rejoice! Nina Paley has a plan ^[3] to give her astonishing cartoon gem the distribution it deserves, the upshot of which is, you get to see at the Starz Film Center ^[4].

This isn’t its first time playing at the little theater under the Tivoli smokestack on Auraria. But it’ll definitely be my first time seeing it. I’ll be there tonight at the 7:00 PM showing. Say hi if you’re there!

If you can’t make it tonight, you’ve got most of the nights of this week until the final showing on Thursday, July 2. Pick a date and buy your tickets online ^[4]!

And, while you’re at it, if you’re so inclined, become a supporting member of the Denver Film Society ^[5]. Members get discounted tickets to any film ($6.00), occasional opportunities to attend free screenings ($0.00), and the warm fuzzies of knowing that you’re playing a part in keeping independent cinema alive in Denver (priceless).

Besides, Starz got beer! Mmm, beer. Can yer ol’ AMC and Century Theaters say that? Didn’t think so.
