A Cinefamily Valentine's: Wendy Clarke's Love Tapes & Casablanca @ Silent Movie Theatre - Alone for Valentine's Day? Don't just sit in the bar and drink by yourself and get weepy over "your song"- watch Humphrey Bogart do it. It's much more glamorous in a silver-toned black and white print in a Moroccan bar with a piano player. The classic movie about a bittersweet, hopeless love affair is playing at the Silent Movie Theater, along with Wendy Clarke's "Love Tapes": a project that the artist has been compiling since 1979, these are heartfelt, three-minute videos feature people musing on love over handpicked background music. Bring a hankie - or a date. - going.com
