1.1.10 — Happy New Year!!
If you’ve been following Sound Unseen, you know that we’re not just a festival that happens in the Fall anymore. Why only screen amazing, rare and unique films one week out of the year right? That just won’t do for us this year because one of our New Year’s resolutions is to be more giving. What better way to show our love for our fans in this great city of ours than to give you more of what we love the most: great cinema. We’ve got a lot of exciting developments happening, so please follow us on Facebook, Twitter and of course here so you can be a part of what makes Mpls./St.Paul a hot bed of music, art and culture. And while we’re on the topic of how great the Twin Cities are, we won’t argue with Travel & Leisure’s opinion of us either: http://www.travelandleisure.com/articles/americas-smartest-people/1
