The Tall Shadows of the Wind (Church of Film)
THE TALL SHADOW OF THE WINDS is a legendary piece of the Iranian New Wave that weaves revolutionary political allegory into shades of folk horror and uncanny surrealism. The film was released shortly after the Iranian Revolution and promptly banned.
A/V Geeks: Now I Know Why You’re Afraid
In honor of legendary film collector Dennis Nyback, the A/V Geeks recreate one of his screenings with an unforgettable night of the educational films that traumatized Baby Boomer and Gen-X kids. Before the days of "trigger warnings," these films were designed to shock the audience with their messages!
Salome (Church of Film)
A bewildering, sustained psychedelic free-for-all. A blizzard of gem colored lights, feathers, spankings and esoteric rituals. Designed to reduce narrative and structure, and free the voice of the actor. SALOME is the untamed creative work of Carmelo Bene, the enfant terrible of Italy's avant-garde counter-culture!
Throw Away Your Books & Rally In The Streets (Church of Film)
The first feature by Japanese "Emperor of the Avant-Garde" Shûji Terayama, THROW AWAY YOUR BOOKS, RALLY IN THE STREETS is an explosive and manic psychedelic exploration of the director and poet's own troubled upbringing, and also of a nation wrestling with a haunting past and the promise of a revolutionary future. Told in feverish metaphorical vignettes, and accompanied by a raucous soundtrack by the Tokyo Kid Brothers, it's a film that tests the boundaries of film's poetic possibilities.
The Other Side of Underneath (Church of Film)
A group therapy session for institutionalized women streams into haunting, surreal and unbelievable scenes that uncover the role of patriarchal power, repression, and violence in the psychic revolt of women. Filmed with the crew and director ingesting LSD, THE OTHER SIDE OF UNDERNEATH is Welsh iconoclast Jane Arden's most mythic contribution to cinema.
Spell (Church of Film)
A sustained, fragmented maelstrom of society's fractured decline into violence, eroticism, and politics, occuring in an Italian village during the parade of its patron saint. Following a host of characters as their stories collide and intersect with explosive results, it's a psychedelic monument to Italy's Years of Lead!
Psychotronic Afterschool Special
What do Orson Welles, processed food, bigomy, necromancy and pre-teen alcoholism all have in common? They've all been woven together to make PSYCHOTRONIC AFTER SCHOOL SPECIAL, a handmade 16mm program packed with AV gems from the 1970s and 80s.
In the Shadow of the Blue Rascal (Church of Film)
In Necrocity, 300 kilos of heroin are missing, the police jump to action. Here, the state is merely a means to efficiently impose cruel police brutality and arbitraty violence, and an underground of club-goers indulge in drugs, parties, and sex. A murderer is on the loose in this dystopian future city, and crime is about to rise to a fever pitch.
