Advanced Screening of Venice Film Festival Critics Week Grand Prize and Most Innovative Film Winner STRAIGHT CIRCLE.

A pair of enemy soldiers stationed on a remote border in a vast featureless desert descend into a state of profound disorientation after forgetting which side of the border is which. As they grapple with their identities, loyalties, and the absurdity of their situation, their isolation slowly gives way to an unfathomable nightmare that will blur the line between friend and foe.

"F*cking Great"- Academy Award Winner B**g Joon Ho

"The less realistic the movie feels — in a geopolitical sense — the more human it becomes. This is perhaps Hudson’s greatest sleight of hand." -Variety

"An absurdist nightmare...this is a boisterous, lively picture: I can imagine Richard Lester having directed it in 1968." - The Guardian

"Unpredictable and hallucinatory" - Indiewire

Legendary filmmaking twins George and Mike Kuchar act in four short films made by friends and students Bob Moricz and Ian Sundahl in this unique show of underground low budget filmmaking.

In the Moricz film 'Big Ass Lust for Speed' (2001), a man is at odds with his very existence when he meets a salacious streetwalker, has his fortune read by a mysterious man (Mike Kuchar) and is chased by a killer.

In Moricz's 'Brainbox' (1999), two scientists are after the achievement of ultimate brain power; do not miss George Kuchar's performance as Doctor Kiss.

In Ian Sundahl's 2006 short 'Kuchar Films Queen Conga,' it is a fly on the wall documentary style view of George directing a class movie at the San Francisco Art Institute.

PLUS a strange, erotic short shot inside of a San Francisco dirty bookstore, and, bonus raw footage from an unknown student film with George acting from the 1980's...

If you are a fan of low budget filmmaking or the Kuchar brothers you will not want to miss this rare screening. Mature themes, 18 and over please!

The groundbreaking theatrical debut of legendary anime studio GAINAX (NEON GENESIS EVANGELION, GUNBUSTER) returns to the big screen!

On a future Earth, war between the Kingdom of Honneamise and its rival, The Republic, is inevitable. As evolving technology creates new ways to wage war, a small group seeks to propel mankind into space in their world’s first spaceflight program. For astronaut candidate Shirotsugh Lhadatt, it’s a personal odyssey as he grows from an aimless young man into a leader willing to put everything on the line in order to move the human race forward and away from the brink of Armageddon.

In 1987, ROYAL SPACE FORCE: THE WINGS OF HONNEAMISE challenged anime conventions and established GAINAX as a boundary pushing studio in the industry. Nearly bankrupting GAINAX upon arrival, ROYAL SPACE FORCE remains one of the most ambitious spectacles of theatrical Japanese animation 39 years later.

Thank God It’s Q***r pays homage to Tennessee Williams and the thrilling, high camp classic SUDDENLY, LAST SUMMER (1959)!

This screening is free for Hollywood Theatre and Movie Madness members.

Brilliantly adapted by fellow legendary gay writer Gore Vidal, SUDDENLY, LAST SUMMER follows rich socialite Violet Venable (Katharine Hepburn) as she befriends lobotomist Dr. Cukrowicz (Montgomery Clift) and offers to sponsor a new hospital facility—on the condition that he’ll cut the shocking truth about Violet’s son’s death out of her niece Catherine’s (Elizabeth Taylor) brain by lobotomizing her.

Released one year after CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF, which neutered the q***r motivations of its characters, SUDDENLY, LAST SUMMER was able to outwit the Production Code and honor Williams’s original text by claiming to be a morality tale. In the process, the film became more explicitly q***r than the play, showing just what happened to Violet’s son—and what Catherine saw that fateful day on the beach, SUDDENLY, LAST SUMMER.
