King Corn sneak previewed at Berkeley’s Hillside Club on Tuesday night, attracting a crowd of more than 200 people…and one very suggestive corn-cob hat from Michael Pollan.

(Read about the sneak preview at The Ethicurean — the source of this excellent photo — and then check out how you, too, can join in the corny antics in Berkeley tonight! If you’re still not convinced, take a peek at Garden of Eating’s very swell interview with Curt and Ian here. They call us “adorable.)

Advance tickets to King Corn’s opening at The Shattuck are available online here, or at the box office, here. And look for Director Aaron Woolf at the Berkeley screenings; he’ll be on site to answer questions after the show. (Sadly, no corn-cob appearances guaranteed.)

While we’re a little disappointed to have actually witnessed the marquee change — you mean magic elves don’t stealthily switch the letters under cover of night? — King Corn remains tickled, as ever, to see its name in lights!

Check out the film’s San Francisco opening tonight at The Red Vic, where filmmakers Curt and Ian will be in attendance to answer questions…and dispel myths about the magic of the marquee.
