SAN FRANCISCO

      Established in the fall of 1998 at the Embarcadero Center Cinemas, our San Francisco chapter has moved many times: from the Embarcadero to the AMC Kabuki 8 Theatre in fall 1999, to the Clay Theatre on Fillmore in fall 2005, back to the Landmark Embarcadero a year later, and effective this fall, 2008, we are proudly returning to the newly-owned and renovated Sundance Kabuki Cinemas. We regret moving so much, but we are enthusiastic about working with the incredibly supportive management team at the new Kabuki. Peter L. Stein and Rod Armstrong will continue to lead stimulating discussions following our advanced art film screenings on Sunday mornings this fall.

96% on the Key Meter	SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE The story of Jamal Malik, an 18 year-old orphan from the slums of Mumbai, who is about to experience the biggest day of his life. With the whole nation watching, he is just one question away from winning a staggering 20 million rupees on India's "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" But when the show breaks for the night, police arrest him on suspicion of cheating; how could a street kid know so much? Desperate to prove his innocence, Jamal tells the story of his life in the slum where he and his brother grew up, of their adventures together on the road, of vicious encounters with local gangs, and of Latika, the girl he loved and lost. Each chapter of his story reveals the key to the answer to one of the game show's questions.
