The 14th Annual Brainwash Drive-In/Bike-In/Walk-In Movie Festival

The 14th Annual Brainwash Drive-In/Bike-In/Walk-In Movie Festival features two nights of original short movies from around the world projected on an outdoor screen in West Oakland. The festival takes place July 25th & 26th at the Alliance for West Oakland Development Parking Lot in Oakland and advance tickets are now on sale.

The sometimes thought-provoking, sometimes wacky, but always original Brainwash Movie Festival returns in the summer of 2008 for a slightly darker, perhaps more macabre engagement than in previous years.

Attendees to the festival are encouraged to either drive, bike, walk, or take public transit to the venue — a parking lot near the West Oakland BART station — where movies are screened in traditional drive-in movie theater fashion, complete with FM transmission and a full-service concession stand.
