Acropolis Cinema is a nonprofit screening series and microcinema dedicated to bringing classic and contemporary experimental films to screens across Los Angeles. Founded by Jordan Cronk, Acropolis Cinema's vision for the curation and presentation of film is one of wholly autonomous means, committed to facilitating under-represented film-art throughout the city. Our initial identity as a migrating

organization will, we hope, embolden nascent arts communities typically removed from the epicenter of art house and repertory cinema distribution channels in Los Angeles, and in the process foster fresh developments in localized film discourse and dissemination. A topic of seemingly endless debate, the state of the Los Angeles art house scene is, in our view, less something to be fixed than fortified. The strides certain theaters and programmers have taken over the last few years to bridge some of the unfortunate lapses in programming is reflected by an increasingly vibrant local film community. Even so, these organizations can only do so much, leaving entire sectors of international and experimental film without a proper outlet in Los Angeles. Acropolis Cinema's goal is to alleviate at least some of these concerns by bringing important new films to eager Los Angeles audiences. Our focus will remain broad and inclusive, but will largely comprise experimental narratives, avant-garde shorts, nonfiction features, and undistributed films from festivals the world over. Jordan Cronk is a Los Angeles-based programmer, film critic, and regular contributor to Cinema Scope, Film Comment, Sight & Sound, Cineaste, Reverse Shot, the Los Angeles Review of Books, and The Hollywood Reporter. His work has also appeared in the Village Voice, MUBI Notebook, Fandor, Brooklyn Magazine, Little White Lies, Filmmaker Magazine, Indiewire, and the Brooklyn Rail.

About the film:
1939, somewhere in the American Midwest: to combat former child-prodigy writer Barbara Fowler’s (Hannah Gross) debilitating agoraphobia, she and her pulp-fiction scribe husband, Richard (Peter Vack), move to the countryside where they become entwined in a love triangle with their deeply religious maid (Deragh Campbell) in this trance-like examination of a world destined for extinction. An Evening Song (for three voices) is the second feature by acclaimed producer (The Cathedral, 2021; The Feeling That the Time for Doing Something Has Passed, 2023) and director Graham Swon, previously featured at Acropolis with The World Is Full of Secrets (2018).
