Upcoming Church of Film Screenings
Events
CITY OF PIRATES (1983) (Church of Film)
Graceful, damned Isidore wanders through life as though it were a dream fractured or decomposing. A homicidal boy named Malo, her husband and other self, purifies her world with blood, fire and violence.
AOOM (1970) (Church of Film)
Aging actor Ristol goes into hiding among the rocky cliffs of Asturias to undertake a metaphysical experiment: transferring his consciousness into inanimate objects. For instance, a doll! His partner Ana has become worried and searches for him. And she's right to be worried, as Ristol may well have succeeded without fulling understanding the consequences of his experiment!
THE STONE WOOD WITCHES (1976) (Church of Film)
A young and politically disillusioned woman falls under the spell of a coven of witches. There she apprentices, learning to commune with nature, cross dimensions, and work spells on a spiritually dying world. The witches ask one important task in return: she must lure a man to embody Satan during the Sabbath.
FEMMES FEMMES (1974) (Church of Film)
Two aging actresses share an apartment in Paris, and a life. Retreating into champagne and fantasies, using the trade of theatre to dress a slowly unraveling existence, they try on feminine roles, and revisit the ones that have failed them.
