Guild Goes Monthly—The Guild Cinema in Nob Hill has finally gotten around to producing their long-promised monthly film schedules. These handy oversized calendars hearken back to the good old days of Albuquerque's late, great repertory theater Don Poncho's. The first schedule features a full two month's worth of Guild films at a glance. Mark up your calendars with all the great foreign, indie and documentary films (not to mention crazed Alibi Midnight Movie Madness selections) that you want to see in the coming weeks. You can pick one up at the Guild Cinema box office, Bound To Be Read, Title Wave, Charlie's Records and Tapes, Il Vicino and Alphaville video.

PMF Part 2—Local digital arts org Primate Memory Factory lost it primary screening facility when Madstone Theaters closed its doors last month. Fortunately, the PMF gang has found a brand new sponsor in the Guild Cinema. PMF will be debuting their first new Five-Minute Film Competition at the Guild on Saturday, July 31, at noon. If you haven't checked out PMF's long-running competition yet, here's your chance. Each month, local digital filmmakers are challenged to shoot a Five-minute film centering around PMF's chosen theme. This month's theme is “War.” (Not too timely, eh?) The best short films submitted each month will be screened at the Guild. Prizes will be awarded based on writing, directing, editing, cinematography and more. For more information, log on to www.pmf5.com
