Alexandria Oddball Cinema

Don’t Read This on a Plane

Oddball Cinema brings you all of the weird, eclectic, and lesser-known films you probably never saw in theaters. Click on the event title for more info!

A struggling author embarks on a multi-city European tour to promote her newest book. At her first stop she’s notified that the publisher sponsoring the trip has gone bankrupt. While her plane tickets are all prepaid, she has no hotel reservations, nor does she have credit cards or sufficient cash to cover her local transportation and lodgings. Undaunted – well, somewhat daunted but determined and creative – she decides to continue the tour as best she can. At each stop, she unabashedly reads passages from her book detailing amorous encounters that may make some audience members uncomfortable.  Anyone offended by explicit language should travel elsewhere. Those who come along for the adventure will be treated to scenes filmed in some of Europe’s most famous and historic bookstores.
