And if you're in the Bay Area:

Join us as the San Francisco Film Society's 360 Film Club presents Wholphin.

The night will include a selection of the latest Wholphin films with introductions by the directors themselves. An instructional demonstration of the proper use of a "pooter" (human appendage for transformation into an anteater) by myrmecologist, Brian Fisher. A show-and-tell session with marine biologist, Steven Haddock, and special guest, the manta ray. A select screening of never-before-seen films from the Wholphin archive. Free beer, and more! Tickets are $5.

If you'd like to attend, please RSVP to reserve a ticket by emailing info@sf360.org by noon on 1/16 with WHOLPHIN in the subject and your name and affiliation in the body.

SF360 FILM/CLUB is a social screening series that takes movies out of the theater and puts them inside the club. It's a new kind of movie-going experience.
