Hobo Film Festival FILM
Hobo Film Festival

This collection of films about alternative-transportational lifestyles is "dedicated to highlighting the history and culture of the American train tramp" (i.e., HOBOS), plus their highway-bound and slightly more frightening cousins, hitchhikers. The itinerant festival is currently on a national tour (see, like a hobo! Meta!), screening such intriguing titles as The Great American Hobo, Fruitloop and Arweigian Rick, and Crow Dog, presumably on such intriguing topics as why grain cars are better than coal cars, having a dog who is also a best friend, hobo stew, and freedom. (Central Cinema, 1411 21st Ave, 686-6684. 7 pm, $8.) by Lindy West

I liked the 70s one with the blonde guy always asking how people started riding.

But wow, man, everything except that punk rock black & white and the feature were youtube quality, made my eyes and ears hurt. It's like a hobo put this together or something.
