Welcome to what will be the first of another regular column here at WDYMS. "The Local Haps" will be a place for us to let you know about awesome movie-related events all throughout the Metroplex. The city's love for movies has become more and more apparent in the last few years. This first event is actually taking place tonight that is part of the Dallas VideoFest 26, it's called Expanded Cinema.
Check out the details after the break.
Expanded Cinema 2: MultipliCity is a program of 13 new video art works curated by Mona Kasra, shown wrapping the 193 x 999-foot LED screen outside of the Omni Dallas Hotel, complimented by an audio simulcast on radio station 91.7 FM-KXT. Expanded Cinema can be seen from wherever the Omni is visible. It’s best viewed from the south side of downtown.
