7:30pm Film Screening: Killer of Sheep - Charles Burnett 80 mins)

In the Los Angeles community of Watts, Stan, a sensitive dreamer, is growing detached and numb from the toll of working at a slaughterhouse.  Frustrated by money problems, he finds solace in moments of simple beauty: the warmth of a teacup against his cheek, slow dancing with his wife, holding his daughter.  Combining lyrical moments with neorealist style, Burnett unfolds his story with compassion and humour.
