Grab a popcorn and join us for a screening of California Typewriter, the 2016 American documentary film directed by Doug Nichol. Considered a “nostalgic love letter to the typed word from enthusiasts and experts alike,” the film explores, celebrates, and honors the mechanical object believed to summon the creative spirit while also documenting the struggles of the typewriter-repair shop of the film’s title, California Typewriter. Sadly, the shop closed in 2020 after 70 years of service.

A meditation on creativity and technology, the film features typewriter enthusiasts Tom Hanks, John Mayer, Sam Shepard, and David McCullough. The film also includes artist Jeremy Mayer, author and  Xavier University philosophy professor Richard Polt, the unique and inspiring Boston Typewriter Orchestra, and more.

Popcorn and light refreshments will be sold at our concession stand.
A limited number of signed copies of Richard Polt’s The Typewriter Revolution will also be available for purchase.
