DIRECTIONS:

By (T): Take RED LINE to KENDALL SQUARE/MIT, walk up to Main Street (where
the (T) station comes out to), go right if coming FROM Boston {OUTBOUND},
Left if coming FROM Cambridge {INBOUND} to Ames Street (first light), go
left past construction on your right to Ralph Landau Bldg (BLDG. 66, looks
like a triangle for a doorway).  Films are shown in 66, Room 110, at 7 and
9 pm.

From MASS AVE: #1 Bus to MIT (77 Mass AVe), up stairs into building, follow
the "Infinite Corridor" (trust me, it lives up to its name) to the very end
(it zig-zags) in Bldg. 66.
