ANNIVERSARY SHOWS
30th Anniversary: BLUE VELVET (1986)
Celebrate the 30th anniversary of this David Lynch masterpiece!
David Lynch cemented his reputation as an uncompromising
visionary with BLUE VELVET, one of the most controversial
films of the 1980s, burrowing beneath the surface of idyllic
suburban America to reveal a sinister underworld of sex and
violence. After stumbling upon a severed human ear, a young
college student (Kyle MacLachlan) becomes obsessed with
investigating its origins and gets entangled with a nightclub
chanteuse (Isabella Rossellini) and her psychopathic lover
(Dennis Hopper). A masterfully eerie, depraved psychosexual
nightmare and one of the greatest films of the 1980s.

RAIDERS!: THE STORY OF THE GREATEST FAN
FILM EVER MADE (2016)
With Scanners, David Cronenberg plunges us into one of his
most terrifying and thrilling sci-fi worlds. After a man with extraordinaryand frighteningly destructivetelepathic abilities
is nabbed by agents from a mysterious rogue corporation, he
discovers he is far from the only possessor of such strange powers, and that some of the other scanners have their minds set
on world domination, while others are trying to stop them. A
trademark Cronenberg combination of the visceral and the cerebral, this phenomenally gruesome and provocative film about
the expanses and limits of the human mind was the Canadian
directors breakout hit in the United States.

Fathers Day: BOYZ N THE HOOD (1991)


25th Anniversary Screening for Fathers Day!
Teen angst, neighborhood politics and institutional racism ignite in the powder keg of a debut feature from John Singleton,
a film that made him the youngest person to ever be nominated
for a Best Director Oscar.
Tre Styles, Doughboy and Ricky are figuring out what to do
with the rest of their lives as they navigate a hot springtime
in South Central Los Angeles. Navigating gang allegiances,
girlfriends and family histories, the trios futures are laid out for
them in a few pivotal weeks.
40th Anniversary: TAXI DRIVER (1976)
Screening in 35mm! Support the non-profit AGFA and preserve
film by selecting the ticket donation option.
There has never been a more depraved antihero than Robert
DeNiros Travis Bickle, the cab-driving sociopath with a gun fetish and a hatred for scum. Throughout the film, he stalks New
York Citys 42nd Street district, catching matinee screenings of
porno flicks and struggling to connect with another soul in the
wretched insect-hive that was 70s Manhattan.
The seedy script from Paul Schrader (ROLLING THUNDER,
OBSESSION, AMERICAN GIGOLO) and the direction from
a young Scorsese create the definitive portrait of New York
City as the center of sleaze, a city bubbling up with the kind
wretched characters and establishments that would give Satan
heartburn. DeNiros Bickle is a brilliant portrait of extreme
alienation; the score from legendary composer Bernard Herrmann his last is perfect; Michael Chapmans camerawork
makes sidewalks look subterranean.

Fantastic Fest Presents:


BELLADONNA OF SADNESS (1973)
One of the great lost masterpieces of Japanese animation, never
before ocially released in the U.S., this film is a mad, swirling,
psychedelic light-show of medieval tarot-card imagery with
horned demons, haunted forests and La Belle Dame Sans Merci,
equal parts J.R.R. Tolkien and gorgeous, explicit Gustav Klimtinfluenced eroticism. A young woman, Jeanne, is violently
raped by the local lord on her wedding night. To take revenge,
she makes a pact with the Devil who appears as an erotic sprite
and transforms her into a vision of madness and desire.
Victory Screening: BEVERLY HILLS COP (1984)
Tough-talking Detroit cop Axel Foley heads to the rarified
world of Beverly Hills in his beat-up Chevy Nova to investigate
a friends murder. But soon, he realizes hes stumbled onto
something much more complicated. Bungling rookie detective
Billy Rosewood joins the fish-out-of-water Axel and shows him
the West Los Angeles ropes.
Mondo x Chiller: CAT IN THE BRAIN (1990)
Were giving away Mondos A CAT IN THE BRAIN Original Motion Picture Soundtrack LP to one lucky winner at this screening!
One of Italian horror director Luico Fulcis final films can be
considered either unwatchable tosh, or the very essence of Fulci
distilled into one of the most bonkers, hilarious and downright
gory splatter films he or anyone else has ever made. Fulci
basically plays himself, a low budget horror director, who seems
to be having a complete mental breakdown, seeing visions of
nasty murders that he may or may not be actually committing.
Basically, its the greatest hits of gore shoehorned into 80 minutes and the FX, although low budget, are jaw-dropping.
Temple of Schlock: GALAXY OF TERROR (1981)
Rare 35mm screening presented by the American Genre Film
Archive! Introduced by Temple of Schlocks Chris Poggiali.
A rescue crew dispatched to the planet Morganthus to search
for the survivors of a crashed spaceship encounter a malevolent
power that, one by one, turns their worst fears against them.
Perhaps the goriest and most outrageous of the outer space
horror movies to come out in the wakeof ALIEN, this typically
ecient Roger Corman concoction features terrific production
design by a then-unknown James Cameron, a top-notch cast
of familiar faces, and two or three of the most repulsive and
memorable death scenes of the 1980s.
Prints of Darkness:
INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS (1978)
Donald Sutherland stars as a San Francisco health inspector
who, along with a colleague played by Brooke Adams, discovers
that the populace is being replaced by pod people who are
identical in every wayexcept for their lack of emotion. A
nightmare chase ensues in which our heroes can no longer trust
their friends and loved ones, punctuated by moments of sheer
shock and terror. The strong supporting cast includes Leonard
Nimoy in what may be his best non-Spock role and an early
turn by Je Goldblum, and it all leads up to one of the most
chilling conclusions in genre-film history.

Monday Night Thread Up:


NIGHTHAWKS (1981)
NIGHTHAWKS partners Sly up with none other than Rutger
Hauer - making his American cinema debut - playing the
almost blanket 80s action movie terrorist with a reckless glee,
leading to a tumultuous on screen (and apparently o, if the
production stories are to be believed) relationship between the
two actors. Its is more than just a showcase for its two then
young stars though. Its also one of the better NYC set, gritty
crime thrillers of that decade, with the citys penchant for (c)
harm coming through in every scene and culminating in the
now famous chase sequence that involves the Roosevelt Island
Tram. Its exceptional genre cinema and the toughest cop movie
in a year of great, tough cop movies.

BEHIND THE WHITE GLASSES (2015)


BEHIND THE WHITE GLASSES is the story about Lina
Wertmllers life and career. First woman in the world to receive
a nomination for the Academy Award as best director for her

1975). From the unpublished pictures taken in Cinecitta` when
she was Federico Fellinis assistant director for in 8 1/2 , the
documentary takes us to the places were her most famous films
were set , revealing the artistic and human universe of a woman
who with her unfailing irony and taste for the grotesque, has
left her mark in all fields entertainment in which she worked:
cinema, drama, television, music. The journey is accompanied
by many exclusive interviews with the artists who witnessed her
intense and constantly evolving career.

Classic Hollywood:
THE SEVEN YEAR ITCH (1955)
Tom Ewell stars as a New York City executive whose wife and
child are away for the summer. In the heat of the city, living in
his empty apartment, he meets a new neighbor: the impossibly
gorgeous Monroe. If Manhattan in August isnt hot enough,
Monroe adds another layer of steam-heat to Ewells life. He
spends the rest of this hilarious farce in various states of temptation. This is one of Monroes finest comic performances, where
she is at her peak as the ditzy blonde bombshell character she
helped define and this film contains the iconic dress-blowingup scene that shes so identified with.

THE DYING OF THE LIGHT (2015)


Largely unchanged for more than a century, the projection of
photochemical film faces an uncertain future in the digital age.
The practice of handing and projecting film is in danger of being lost; and the role of film projectionist is nearing extinction.
This film explores at the history and craft of motion picture
presentation through the lives and stories of the last generation
of career projectionists. By turns humorous and melancholic,
their candid reflections on life in the booth reveal a world that
has largely gone unnoticed and is now at an end. The result is a
loving tribute to the art and romance of the moviesand to the
unseen people who brought the light to our screens

THE SANDLOT (1993)


Smalls is a new kid in the neighborhood, and while looking
for a place to fit in he hooks up with the local sandlot baseball
team, who are themselves looking for a 9th player. The only
problem is, Smalls doesnt know how to play ball. What follows
is a heartwarming and hilarious coming-of-age story featuring
a terrifying neighborhood monstrosity known as The Beast,
irresponsible treatment of priceless memorabilia and, of course,
the valuable life lesson that things on the surface are not always
as they seem.

Video Vortex: THE SKID KID (1991)


This is the only super-hero movie from Union, Missouri that
youll ever need to see. Shot on Super 8 by filmmaker Glen
Gruner, THE SKID KID feels like what would happen if an
episode of THIS AMERICAN LIFE was cross-mutated with a
teenage demo version of BATMAN. By day, Scooter Cousin
of Steven Spielberg drives around in his hot corvette. But also
by day, Scooter dons a pair of magic boots that are powered by
RC Cola and transforms into the Skid Kid! Scooting along in
stop-motion magnificence, the Skid Kid cleans up the mean
streets of Union the only way he knows how -- with his fists!!
THE SKID KID is a snapshot of people who are in love with
the magic of making movies. Its also a snapshot of sweet BMX
wheelies, dummies being lit on fire, and amateur nunchuck
attacks. When can we move to Union, Missouri?

Fathom Presents: GHOSTBUSTERS (1984)


Its possible that GHOSTBUSTERS is the worlds most universally adored movie. Spectre-destroyers Murray, Aykroyd, Ramis
and the vastly under-appreciated Hudson collectively defined
everything we enjoy in 80s cinema, unleashing a supernatural
adventure that busts funnybones as well as ghosts. Together,
the four hopped in a converted ambulance and made an entire
decade safe for hilarity, action, and transdimensional demon
combat. In celebration of the upcoming reboot, Fathom is
bringing the original back to the big screen for exclusive screenings beginning on June 8th, the same date when it was first released in 1984. Join us for human sacrifice, dogs and cats living
together, mass hysteria and a bustin good time. Just remember:
dont cross the streams!

NO HOME MOVIE (2015)


In her essential final feature, Chantal Akerman documents her
relationship with her mother, a Holocaust-survivor.
PRESENTING PRINCESS SHAW (2015)
By day, Samantha Montgomery cares for the elderly in one of
New Orleanss toughest neighborhoods. By night, she writes
and sings her own songs as Princess Shaw on her YouTube
channel. Across the globe, Ophir Kutiel creates video mash
ups of amateur Youtube performers. Known as Kutiman, he
is a composer, a musician, and a pioneering video artist. Two
strangers, almost 7,000 miles apart, begin to build a song. The
film unfolds as Kutiman pairs Princess Shaws emotional performances in a beautiful expression of generosity and compassion,
revealing the bonafide star underneath and her fight to never
give up on her dreams.

Steven Spielberg and Lawrence Kasdan blasted onto the scene in


1981 and declared the return of great adventure. Nominated for
9 Academy Awards including Best Picture, INDIANA JONES
instantly became one of the greatest films of all time. For nearly
3,000 years man has searched for the lost Ark of the Covenant.
No one knows its secrets and it is protected by forces beyond
your imagination. It is desired above all things by both good
and evil men. An army with the Ark in its possession would be
rendered unstoppable...that is unless someone else finds it first.

SCANNERS (1981)

CLASH OF THE TITANS (1981)


Ray Harryhausen, the special eects pioneer who helped revolutionize the way stop-motion animation was done, introduced
multiple generation of movie fans to the magic of cinema - with

lovingly created special eects that still have the power to astonish all these years later.
This 1981 classic, CLASH OF THE TITANS - stars Harry
Hamlin as Perseus, the son of Zeus and a hero with a pantheon
of gods to deal with. As he attempts to welcome the girl, save
the city and do everything else that heroes need to do in any
given day, Perseus has to deal with all manners of nastiness including giant scorpions, the wicked Medusa and, yes, the
releasing of a certain Kraken.
