Let the nut-jobs congregate and metaphorically jerk one another off on Thursday, January 31, at 7:30 p.m., when the American Cinematheque at the Aero Theatre presents the Los
Angeles premiere of The Reflecting Pool. Filmmaker Jarek Kupsc’s movie, you see, is being billed as “the first
narrative feature film to challenge the official story of the events of September 11, 2001.”

The story centers around Alex Prokop (JK Baltazar), a successful Russian-American journalist,
and Paul Cooper (Joseph Culp), a driven researcher whose daughter died on Sept. 11. Together, Alex and Paul travel to New York City and Washington
D.C., where they uncover suppressed
information about the attacks and their aftermath. As Paul introduces Alex to key eye-witnesses, the face of the “official story” begins to
crumble. A discussion with writer-director Kupsc and
actor-producer Joseph Culp will follow the film, purportedly “drawn from established sources and based on verifiable facts,” and almost certainly be more fascinating than the movie itself.

The Aero Theatre
is located at 1328 Montana Avenue in Santa Monica. Tickets for both The Reflecting Pool and all films and events are available through Fandango; for 24-hour recorded
information on directions and the Aero’s upcoming schedule,
