SAAG cinema: a darkened restaurant, great food, flowing libations, and cinematic adventures reeling onto a screen, a community coming together to appreciate great films.

We have partnered with the Tongue n’ Groove to offer a perfect place to engage yourself and others in a cinematic experience, and to bring internationally renowned films to our city.

March 30th, join us at the Tongue n’ Groove for Marwencol, a documentary peeking... into the darkest parts of a psyche scared by the world around him.

“After being beaten into a brain-damaging coma by five men outside a bar, Mark builds a 1/6th scale World War II-era town in his backyard. Mark populates the town he dubs "Marwencol" with dolls representing his friends and family and creates life-like photographs detailing the town's many relationships and dramas. Playing in the town and photographing the action helps Mark to recover his hand-eye coordination and deal with the psychic wounds of the attack. When Mark and his photographs are discovered, a prestigious New York gallery sets up an art show. Suddenly Mark's homemade therapy is deemed "art", forcing him to choose between the safety of his fantasy life in Marwencol and the real world that he's avoided since the attack.”

Directed and produced by Jeff Malmberg, this film has won numerous awards for its honest depiction of Mark’s self guided therapeutic always building world, including South by Southwest Film Festival’s Grand Jury Award for Best Documentary, Hot Docs award for HBO Emerging Artist Award, and the Boston Society of Film Critics’s Best Documentary award.

SAAG cinema is bringing this mind twisting documentary to the Tongue n’ Groove March 30th at 8:00pm. Admission is $3.00 for members, and $5.00 for non-members. Free popcorn, and drink specials are on offer from the wonderful staff at the Tongue n’ Groove.
