What do you think Jude Law's Gamertag is? David Cronenberg brings body horror to the Playstation with EXISTENZ, closing out our Log Off: Ghosts in the Machine series, Wednesday, October 28th at 8:00pm. Press F to pay respects. šŸ«”

Jennifer Jason Leigh, Jude Law, Willem Defoe, Sarah Polley, Ian Holm and Christopher Eccleston all collide in this epic take on the gaming era ā€“ one as important to Y2K as Videodrome is to the ā€˜80s. The filmā€™s many layers of sci-fi excellence feel ripped from the pages of Phillip K. Dick and William Burroughs.

In the terrifying near-future, game designer Allegra Geller (Leigh) and her mousy publicist (Law) disappear down the VR rabbit hole to fend off deadly assassins and repair her controversial game ā€œeXistenZā€ from the inside. Cronenberg brilliantly gives this world the feel of video game cutscenes with a psychosexual edge: electronic umbilical cords, TOTAL RECALL-style reality shattering and other kinks.

Big Screen Country beckons you to a weekend of independent movies right here in Missoula! The Montana FIlm Festival is nearly here!

It kicks off Thursday with two screenings, first a 50th anniversary screening of Montana-made THE MISSOURI BREAKS in 35mm. Between accepting the role and showing up to set, Marlon Brando invented a deadly ā€œharpoon maceā€ for his character.

Also on Thursday, catch Marc Maron as an actor who receives a terminal cancer diagnosis and becomes obsessed with securing a spot in the Academy Awards ā€œIn Memoriamā€ montage. IN MEMORIAM has a bunch of people you know in it, but weā€™re excited because Lily Gladstone shows up as Maronā€™s therapist and weā€™re excited to have her back on the big screen!

On Friday weā€™ve got Montana-made BABY LOVE about a MMA fighter whoā€™s battling on the fight circuits while a series of concussions threatens to KO her career. A bunch of the crew responsible will be in-house to talk back after the show!

Also on Friday we have DRINKING AND DRIVING about aimless twenty-somethings wandering through their small town. Director Avalon Fast was one of FIlmmaker magazineā€™s 25 New Faces 2026 and co-director/co-writer/star Jillian Frank and cinematographer Jacob Glickman are doing a prerecorded Q&A after the film!

Next,we have the raw coming-of-age story TEST about an amateur bodybuilder determined to become a champion while being forced to forced to confront a dysfunctional family, substance abuse, his sexuality, and the expectations heā€™s spent years trying to live up to.

HONEYJOON follows a mother and daughter to the Azores islands for a grief anniversary.Ā  A hot philosophical surfer (is there any other kind?) takes them on a tour as we ride the waves of life, loss, and flirting.

On Saturday joinĀ us for CHRONOVISOR, which may be the hardest to categorize of our films this year. A Chronovisor is an occult device said to reproduce visuals from any point in history on a TV screen and BeatriceĀ intends to find it. Jane Schoenbrun is a big fan if you need more convincing.

Our final film of the festival, ACT ONE is a backstage thriller about a high school acting student falling into obsession as she comes under the tutelage
