- Directions: Take State Road or Beach Road to Main Street in Vineyard Haven. Church Street is the third left off Main. The Theater is just a stone's throw up Church Street on the left.
- DVD review: Cinema 16: World Short Films 4 / 5 stars 4 out of 5 stars. European and US shorts goes global this time for a substantial collection of early works, primarily.
- Cinema 16: European Short Films. Compilations always have low points, and neither Javier Fesser nor Jan Kounen's contributions will win new fans.
This collection contains, as its title indicates, 16 short films from all around Europe and from various time periods. There's little logic to the selection, and little common ground between these directors -- everything from 60s art-house, to modern light comedies, and some oddball middle-ground in between.
