DGC Screen Gems 💎
DGC Screen Gems: Volume 1.
A festival of Transformations. Oct. 8-11. Featuring special selections by each Digital Gym Cinema staff member.
We are so proud of the passion and knowledge our Digital Gym Cinema staff brings to their jobs every day running the last art house theater in San Diego. So like the “Staff Picks” section that populated so many indie video stores in the 1980s and 90s, we wanted a way for our dedicated team to express themselves through curation and programming. And so, DGC Screen Gems was born, a semi-annual film festival curated by the entire staff that reflects our collective love for cinema.
Our first DGC Screen Gems program focuses on the theme of Transformations, and all of the interpretations and feelings such a malleable term can conjure up.
