White Zombie
Directly inspired by William Seabrook’s book The Magic Island, this is considered the first feature-length zombie film and would serve as a major influence to those that followed.
Tron
This groundbreaking feature follows rebel computer programmer Kevin Flynn as he is scanned and transported into an autocratic universe of zipping vectors and shiny surfaces, somewhere inside the mainframe of an arcade game.
I Walked With a Zombie
Easily the most sophisticated and memorable of the zombie films of the subgenre’s premier era, Tourneur and low-budget producer extraordinaire Val Lewton’s remarkable collaboration is a dreamlike horror fable that loosely reimagines Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre.
Top Gun – Canceled
Please note: This screening has been canceled due to the distributor's decision to withdraw the film from circulation temporarily.
Zombie aka Zombi 2
Italian horror maestro Lucio Fulci returns to the racialized origins of the zombie narrative with what was originally conceived as a sequel to George A. Romero’s Dawn of the Dead.
Streets of Fire
In Walter Hill’s neo-noir cum outlaw-biker rock opera, fifties nostalgia fuels a futuristic Americana fantasy that’s all neon, chrome, fire, and steam. Screening in 70mm, August 27–Sep. 4.
Ouanga
Notable at the time for starring a Black actress, and even as the narrative blatantly antagonizes her, Fredi Washington’s presence imbues the film with unexpected depth.
Tron
This groundbreaking feature follows rebel computer programmer Kevin Flynn as he is scanned and transported into an autocratic universe of zipping vectors and shiny surfaces, somewhere inside the mainframe of an arcade game.
The Ghost Breakers (with special panel discussion 8/28)
Bob Hope is a radio personality who ends up following Paulette Goddard to Cuba, where she's set to inherit a plantation and—likely haunted—castle.
