THE WILDERNESS by Spencer King
​A group of troubled teenage boys are kidnapped from their homes and taken deep into the unforgiving Utah desert, where they're forced into a brutal and secretive "Wilderness Therapy" program. With no contact with the outside world, their only way home is to earn the approval of the enigmatic program director—whose motives are far from therapeutic. As the line between rehabilitation and manipulation blurs, the boys must decide whether to survive the program or escape it. Starring Hunter Doohan (Netflix Original WEDNESDAY alongside Jenna Ortega, Showtime Original YOUR HONOR opposite Bryan Cranston, and most recently Marvel’s DAREDEVIL for Netflix), Lamar Johnson (Emmy nominated for HBO Original LAST OF US, Showtime Original YOUR HONOR), Sam Jaeger (Hulu’s HANDMAID’S TALE, NBC’s PARENTHOOD), Matt Gomez-Hidaka (EDDINGTON, SILO), Aaron Holliday (CO***NE BEAR, NICKELS alongside Rob Riggle), Liana Liberato (SCREAM, Hulu Original BASED ON A TRUE STORY), Sean Avery (Former NHL STAR, OPPENHEIMER), Vinessa Shaw (HOCUS POCUS, THE HILLS HAVE EYES, EYES WIDE SHUT) and James Le Gros (DRUGSTORE COWBOY, POINT BREAK, SEVERANCE).

KOLN 75 by Ido Fluk
Keith Jarrett’s legendary performance in January 1975 nearly didn’t happen. Based on a true story, Köln 75 follows how the concert was conceived and orchestrated by the efforts of a teenage up and coming concert promoter, Vera Brandes, (played by German actress Mala Emde). Her enthusiasm set her to multitasking – from organizing the concert venue (the Cologne Opera House), promoting the event, and selling the tickets, to convincing Jarrett to perform when he almost dropped out when the Bösendorfer Imperial Grand piano he was promised was nowhere to be found. John Magaro plays Jarrett with his own intensity, a sublime counterpoint to Mala Emde’s joyful portrayal of the enthusiastic and unstoppable Vera. Köln 75 captures the compelling, entertaining and, until now, unknown backstory about Jarrett’s one-hour, entirely improvised concert, which became the best-selling solo album in jazz history.

THE URANIA TRILOGY by legendary musician, artist, filmmaker TAV FALCO
An American girl, Gina Lee is an alienated and disaffected female who has become disenchanted with hometown strip malls, sleaze bars, and rides along the river-side in her BMW. Impulsively she buys a discount airline ticket in a shopping mall travel agency. Destination: Vienna, the merry/sinister imperial city on the Danube. Gina Lee quickly slips into discreet, yet decadent dalliances at Cafe Central and at the notorious Hotel Orient, where she becomes embroiled in an intrigue to uncover buried N**i plunder. Her tragic liaison with rakish Karl Heinz Von Riegl results in her submersion beneath the dark waters of Lake Atter, yet her ultimate fate remains unresolved. This is a black&white film poem infused with metaphor and mood, where the past overtakes the present, and the present overtakes the past.

​This sui generis, hand-processed 16mm film is digitized and ready for projection in its definitive form in ProresHQ @ 2K. It is a film made for those hungry to submerge themselves in Orphic mysteries and to embrace narratives of timeless consequence. The Urania Trilogy is haunting. It explores myth, memory, and identity through dreamlike structures - evoking a shifting reality where the past overtakes the present, and the present overtakes the past, while already hurling itself into the future. This film is intended for aficionados in search of a cinema of paradox in a pure, yet contaminated form. The incarnation of subversion...The insolence of deception...The exultation of vengeance. One night Only!

Thursday @ 7:00 pm - Final Screening!
​CITY WIDE FEVER by Josh Heaps,
produced by GUY MADDIN.
Sam, a young film student, discovers a USB detailing the life and career of forgotten Italian horror director Saturnino Barresi. As she begins to investigate his mysterious disappearance, Sam finds herself pulled into a violent conspiracy eerily similar to those of the films she adores. City Wide Fever is a modern giallo film starring a number of familiar faces, including Larry Fessenden, Ian Fidance, Michael M. Bilandic, and Carolyn Farina. “We chose to shoot on a Mini DV camera to get a gritty 2000s vibe. Euro horror with a necessary 21st century update.
