Fish Tank

Running Time: 2 hours-3 minutes

Feeling financially strapped after the holidays? The Mostly British Film Festival and the San Francisco Neighborhood Theater Foundation are offering a free screening of the Cannes 2009 Jury Prize winner “Fish Tank.’’

A woman’s desire is the subject of this taboo-breaking film about a 15-year old girl who becomes attracted to her mother’s young boyfriend played by “Hunger’s’’ Michael Fassbender. The disruption in everyone’s life is vividly captured by director Andrea Arnold, an Oscar winner for her short film “Wasp.’’ Her debut feature “Red Road’’ was another Cannes Jury Prize winner.

“Fish Tank’’ will play at 11 a.m. January 16 at the Vogue Theater, 3290 Sacramento Street in San Francisco. For free tickets, e-mail voguersvp@gmail.com with “FISH TANK’’ and your name in the subject line and how many tickets (up to four) you request in the body of the e-mail. You will receive a confirmation via e-mail.
The screening is a benefit for the San Francisco Neighborhood Theater Foundation and donations are encouraged.
