If you’re one of the lucky ones to have scored a ticket to our Creators Project: San Francisco event at Fort Mason this weekend, we’ve got one more reason for you to get excited. We’ll be presenting a special screening of the newly released film Shut Up And Play The Hits on Saturday at 3pm. The film chronicles the last days and final show of LCD Soundsystem, painting an intimate portrait of frontman James Murphy and band members Pat Mahoney and Nancy Whang, all of whom will close out the day with a dance party-inducing DJ set.We interviewed the directors, Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace of Pulse Films, back in January, and while excitement around the film has been running high, there have been precious few screenings of it thus far. Ours will be the first time the film screens in San Francisco, but expect it to come to the Bay Area again later this year.Be sure to arrive early on Saturday to catch this and other special early bird events you won’t want to miss!1:00 PM: Artist Talk + Conditional Drawing Workshop with Casey Reas
