On a hot summer morning, a crew of workers arrive at a fig orchard in northwest Tunisia. Through sun-drenched leaves, the youngest of the women steal precious moments of respite away from the foreman’s watchful gaze. Meanwhile, the elders, tasked with the careful job of packing the tender fruit, watch them and reminisce. They joke, argue, gossip and flirt, all the while painting an unhurried but riveting portrait of everyday life in a rural society where class and gender do not allow for personal freedoms.

Set over the course of a single day, utilizing a cast made up of an intergenerational ensemble of non-professional actors, Under the Fig Trees reveals an “elegant, understated tapestry of complex interactions” (The Hollywood Reporter) that demonstrate how the bonds of sisterhood act as a transformative expression of resistance.

Documentary about the controversial artist, poet and musician Rozz Williams, founder of the band Christian Death, who was a major influence on Goth rock and fashion, transgender and diverse individuals, and has had a dedicated cult following since his passing at the young age of 34, leaving a legacy behind, now to be discovered for the first time for a new generation. Intimate portrait by friend and director of Pig.

Starring: John McBride, Mark Polonia, Bob Dennis, Storm Anderson, Holly Harrington, Jeff Dylan Graham

Half human and craving the taste of warm blood!

Deep within the house IT waits, IT watches and IT wants! Three college students are lured to a house with a dark history under the false pretense of a $25,000 reward. But soon, the students find themselves trapped within its walls with no way of escape while being haunted by the ghost of a beautiful woman and hunted by the family secret – a monster that craves human flesh!

Terror House emerged from the fertile shot-on-video horror underground of the late-1990s, a period when traditional gatekeepers opened the doors for independent filmmakers to fill shelves with movies for an insatiable VHS and budding DVD market. Mark and John Polonia combine ‘Old Dark House’ movie tropes with a color-soaked, dreamlike supernatural imagery that only SOV can accomplish, while delivering a tried-and-true Polonia trademark … a rubber suit monster run amok. The result is an earnest, more refined and atmospheric production that proved the brothers could compete in the greater retail movie industry of the time while never losing their unique, regional magic touch.

Starring: Laura Nativo, Laurence Hobbs, Rhoda Jordan, Edwin Craig, Ike Gingrich, Suzan Spann

Featuring a very special Mystery Host for the evening

“Silly Z-grade flick with a monster that looks like a drunk reject from Gwar.”

On the eve of July 4th celebrations, a string of brutal slayings rocks a quiet California beach community – and residents suspect the return of a nightmare long thought buried beneath the waves. In 1987, a race of bloodthirsty amphibious humanoids emerged from the ocean and killed 17 people before disappearing without a trace. Now, as the body count rises and the mayor refuses to shut down the beaches (of course!), a determined environmentalist and the town looney must stop the hungry beasts before they feed on the local population again!

If Humanoids from the Deep was too lofty and high budget for you, then sink your claws into Aquanoids, the kind of no budget, unabashed monster flick that beamed into video stores during the frantic boom of the flourishing DVD era. Borrowing liberally from both Jaws and the spate of seaside monster movies cranked out in the 1980s inspired by Humanoids from the Deep, Aquanoids checks all the boxes: small-town corruption, rubbery monster attacks, gore, and insanely over-the-top acting and plotting that give it the full, seaweed covered cheesiness that you expect from an aquatic creature-feature.

Join us for a journey through the dreamscape with a double bill of seminal surrealist films brought to life with all-new live scores by The Flushing Remonstrance.

L’Age d’Or is Luis Buñuel’s 1930 gleeful fever dream of Freudian unease, bizarre humor and shocking imagery that, once experienced, cannot be forgotten. “The most scandalous of all Buñuel’s films. Surreal, dreamlike, and pornographically blasphemous.” – Pauline Kael

James Sibley Watson and Melville Webber’s The Fall of the House of Usher (1928) is a visually stunning, avant-garde adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe’s classic gothic horror tale. “Tilted, eerie beauty…wisps of silhouette dancing with hazy imagery, creating a perfect nightmare out of Poe’s story.” – Sally Jane Black

Starring: Natalie Wood, Warren Beatty, Pat Hingle, Audrey Christie, Barbara Loden

Bud (Warren Beatty) and his high school sweetheart, Deanie (Natalie Wood), are weighed down by their parents’ oppressive expectations, which threaten the future of their relationship. Deanie’s mother (Audrey Christie) and Bud’s father (Pat Hingle) caution their children against engaging in a sexual relationship, but for opposing reasons: Deanie’s mother thinks Bud won’t marry a girl with loose morals, while Bud’s father is afraid of marriage and pregnancy that would ruin Bud’s future at Yale.

Starring: Steve Coogan, Rob Brydon

State Your Name cuts past the watered-down version of graffiti you see in music videos and trucker hats to show the true essence of bombing. In New York City — the city that never sleeps — your name and the crew you rep is everything. To society it’s vandalism. To writers, it’s life: late nights, emptying cans, dodging iron giants in subway tunnels, the chase, the beef, the battles, the rush.

20 years after its release, this historical documentary is getting its first theater viewing. We’re calling all real graffiti bombing enthusiasts to come celebrate the anniversary.

For the old school cats, this is a shout out for paving the way. For the new generation: pay your dues and learn your history.
