### **ABOUT THE FILM:**

After receiving a string of unsettling letters from her father, Arletty arrives in a sleepy California coastal town called Point Dune. Dad is nowhere to be seen. Instead, Arletty finds a town full of drugged-out burnouts, barren shopping centers, and… something else. Echoing everything from Herk Harvey’s CARNIVAL OF SOULS to Mario Bava’s KILL, BABY… KILL!, MESSIAH OF EVIL is a swirling vortex of Lovecraftian terror, analog synth attacks, and grisly bloodshed from the team who’d later go on to make HOWARD THE DUCK. Marianna Hill (HIGH PLAINS DRIFTER), Michael Greer (FORTUNE AND MEN’S EYES), and Elisha Cook Jr. (THE MALTESE FALCON) star in this unjustly overlooked major work of independent American horror that’s primed for (re)discovery.

### **ABOUT THE FILM: **

Paranormal researcher Richard Johnson leads a team of clairvoyants (Julie Harris, Claire Bloom) to determine if the notorious, bad karma-filled Hill House is truly haunted. What he doesn’t bargain for is intensely neurotic Harris developing an unhealthy sensitivity to the mansion’s evil-charged atmosphere. Based on Shirley Jackson’s novel *The Haunting of Hill House*, this is one of the all-time classics of the genre.

The Vidiots microcinema is turning it up to 11 and getting the band back together with the long-awaited reunion of the funniest band in rock n&#8217; roll history! Forty-one years after the release of the groundbreaking mockumentary *This Is Spinal Tap*, the now estranged bandmates David St. Hubbins, Nigel Tufnel, and Derek Smalls (Michael McKean, Christopher Guest, and Harry Shearer) are forced to reunite for one final concert. *Spinal Tap II: The End Continues *also marks the resurrection of documentarian Marty Di Bergi (Rob Reiner), who once again tries to capture his favorite metal gods as they contemplate mortality—and the hope that their 12th drummer doesn’t join them in The Great Beyond. Joined by music royalty Questlove, Paul McCartney and Elton John, *Spinal Tap* wrestles with their checkered past to put on a concert that they hope will solidify their place in the pantheon of rock ’n&#8217; roll. This hard-rocking nostalgic throwback will have you laughing from beginning to end as cinema&#8217;s favorite band relives their legacy and carves a way for a new one with bigger Stonehenge set pieces and an Elton John musical number you will never forget!

Traveling magician Mr. K (Crispin Glover) is down on his luck. Business is slow, and the few gigs he’s picked up along the road have left him adrift. After spending the night in a remote hotel, he is alarmed when he discovers that he is unable to find the exit. As he explores the maze-like corridors, he hears strange noises and encounters a series of curious inhabitants who have formed their own factions within the walls of the hotel. Alone and afraid, he starts mapping out the corridors, desperately hoping to get to the bottom of the building’s layout before it is too late. Stuck more hopelessly than ever and about to give up, he makes a bizarre discovery that will change everything. Starring the ever-eccentric Crispin Glover, this Kafkaesque mystery offers a bold new take on falling down the rabbit hole.

### **ABOUT THE FILM: **

“Y’all wanna hear a story about why me & this bitch here fell out? It’s kind of long but full of suspense.” Thus began the odyssey of one A’Ziah King, aka ZOLA. From acclaimed writer/director Janicza Bravo, Zola’s stranger than fiction saga, which she first told in a now iconic series of viral, uproarious tweets, comes to dazzling cinematic life. Zola (newcomer Taylour Paige), a Detroit waitress, strikes up a new friendship with a customer, Stefani (Riley Keough), who seduces her to join a weekend of dancing and partying in Florida. What at first seems like a glamorous trip full of “hoeism” rapidly transforms into a 48-hour journey involving a nameless pimp, an idiot boyfriend, some Tampa gangsters and other unexpected adventures in this wild, see-it-to-believe-it tale.

The Watcher in the Woods

CRIMINALLY INSANE is a D.I.Y. proto-slasher from the 1970s horror underground that feels like a lost collaboration between John Waters and Tobe Hooper. The film follows Ethel Jankowski (Priscilla Alden), a woman who struggles with mental health issues and a raging appetite—one that eventually causes her to pick up a meat cleaver and kill! Equally campy, artistic, and horrifying, this deranged experience from prolific filmmaker Nick Millard bursts with wild plot twists, regional charm, and gruesome bloodshed. (AGFA)

Founded by composer and director Michael Formanski, the group reimagines iconic works like *Metropolis*, *Faust*, and *A Page of Madness* through immersive live performances that blend black metal, doom, and ambient soundscapes. The result is a visceral, cinematic experience that brings new intensity and emotional weight to century-old visuals.

Performances feature a powerful ensemble typically including guitar, drums, and synthesizers playing in sync with the film. Longtime collaborator Matt Hardy anchors the group’s rhythm section on drums, driving the dynamic shifts and ritualistic energy of each score. The Silent Light has built a growing following among fans of experimental film, underground metal, and dark fantasy, and their shows consistently draw passionate, attentive audiences.

### **ABOUT THE FILMS:**

**CAT PEOPLE, 1942, Dir. Jacques Tourneur, 73 Mins, Park Circus, USA**

In this classic psychological horror film, a beautiful young fashion designer begins to believe—as people close to her die gruesomely—that she bears the curse of The Cat People. Serbian Irena Dubrovna’s (Simone Simon) people believe that they are haunted by an ancient curse: Whenever their passions are aroused, they change into a panther–with lethal consequences. Yet when Irena moves to New York, she falls in love with Oliver Reed (Kent Smith) and accepts his proposal of marriage. But as Oliver begins to stray, Irena confides to her psychiatrist (Tom Conway) that she believes she may be the terrifying feline presence stalking her husband’s mistress (Jane Randolph) in the shadows. He assures Irena that her fears exist only in her own mind, but his body is soon discovered in Irena’s apartment—mauled to death by a wild animal. Hunted and half-mad, Irena flees. But the mystery remains: In the heat of passion, does she change…or doesn’t she?

### **ABOUT THE FILM:**

*In Romanian, English and German with English subtitles.*

A struggling director in contemporary Transylvania sets out to film a production of DRACULA. What begins as a simple attempt to revive a familiar myth quickly spirals into something far stranger, as AI interventions, theatrical experiments, and a whirlwind of genres—from slapstick and satire to horror and science-fiction—collide in ways no one could predict. The result is a hall of mirrors where folklore, politics, and pop culture feed on one another like restless spirits.

Radu Jude’s latest work is a dazzling and confrontational riff on the vampire legend, exploding the boundaries between cinema, theatre, and digital collage. By turns hilarious, abrasive, and unsettling, DRACULA is less an adaptation than a delirious reinvention and an electrifying reminder that old myths can still bite.

∆

**Larry Gottheim** taught film-making and cinema aesthetics at Binghamton University until 1998. This was a program he started in the late 1960’s, the first regular undergraduate program dealing with film as a personal art. His early silent films such as FOG LINE, DOORWAY, BARN RUSHES are widely known. In the 1970’s he made ELECTIVE AFFINITIES, a set of 4 long films that explore complex relationships between sound and image. While still formal and concerned with sound and image, some later films include material that would ordinarily be seen in a documentary mode (MACHETE GILETTE.... MAMA.) His many years’ involvement with Vodou in Haiti led to a video work CHANTS AND DANCES FOR HAND. His works have been included in numerous museums, festivals and other venues throughout the world. https://www.larrygottheimfilms.com/

Ex-con Tony (Jean Servais), a blend of finesse and toughness, assembles the perfect crew of henchmen. The caper unfolds overnight with flawless precision—rendered in a fantastically tense extended sequence without any dialogue or music. What to do with the loot? Put the kid through school? Help a sister raise her family? Or, as one guy says, “I don’t know.” These guys are too human to commit the perfect crime. A fatal flaw emerges where we least expect it.

### **ABOUT THE FILM:**

Comedian Alvy Singer (Woody Allen) examines the rise and fall of his relationship with struggling nightclub singer Annie Hall (Diane Keaton). Speaking directly to the audience in front of a bare background, Singer reflects briefly on his childhood and his early adult years before settling in to tell the story of how he and Annie met, fell in love, and struggled with the obstacles of modern romance, mixing surreal fantasy sequences with small moments of emotional drama.

### ABOUT THE FILM:

*In French with English subtitles. *

A singular work in film history, Chantal Akerman’s JEANNE DIELMAN, 23, QUAI DU COMMERCE, 1080 BRUXELLES meticulously details, with a sense of impending doom, the daily routine of a middle-aged widow—whose chores include making the beds, cooking dinner for her son, and turning the occasional trick. In its enormous spareness, Akerman’s film seems simple, but it encompasses an entire world. Whether seen as an exacting character study or one of cinema’s most hypnotic and complete depictions of space and time, the film is an astonishing, compelling movie experiment, one that has been analyzed and argued over for decades.

Oracles of God: The Story of the New Testament is a documentary from CBN Films that
explores the history of the New Testament's composition and preservation
. The film, part of a four-part series on the Bible's creation, details how the Gospels were written, letters circulated among early churches, and how the New Testament writings were confirmed by early Church Fathers and other experts. Using historical reenactments, expert interviews, and stunning cinematography, the documentary aims to demonstrate the integrity of the biblical text and the faithfulness of those who preserved it for future generations. 

ORACLES OF GOD: THE STORY OF THE NEW TESTAMENT

2nd SUNDAY  70mm. Columbia’s most celebrated title! Due to his knowledge of the native Bedouin tribes, British Lieutenant T.E. Lawrence is sent to Arabia to find Prince Faisal and serve as a liaison between the Arabs and the British in their fight against the Turks. With the aid of native Sherif Ali, Lawrence rebels against the orders of his superior officer and strikes out on a daring camel journey across the harsh desert to attack a well-guarded Turkish port. Winner of 7 Academy Awards including Best Picture of 1962, Lawrence of Arabia stands as one of the most timeless and essential motion picture masterpieces. The greatest achievement of its legendary, Oscar -winning director, David Lean (1962, Lawrence of Arabia: 1957 The Bridge on the River Kwai), the film stars Peter Otoole, in his career-making performance as T.E. Lawrence, the audacious World War I British army officer who heroically united rival Arab desert tribes and led them to war against the mighty Turkish Empire.

### **ABOUT THE FILM:**

*In French with English subtitles.*

Poetic realism reached sublime heights with CHILDREN OF PARADISE, widely considered one of the greatest French films of all time. This nimble depiction of nineteenth-century Paris’s theatrical demimonde, filmed during World War II, follows a mysterious woman (Arletty) loved by four different men (all based on historical figures): an actor, a criminal, a count, and, most poignantly, a mime (Jean-Louis Barrault, in a longing-suffused performance for the ages). With sensitivity and dramatic élan, director Marcel Carné and screenwriter Jacques Prévert resurrect a world teeming with hucksters and aristocrats, thieves and courtesans, pimps and seers. And thanks to a major new restoration, this iconic classic looks and sounds richer and more detailed than ever.

Beginning with Holiday’s traumatic youth, the film depicts her early attempts at a singing career and her eventual rise to stardom, as well as her difficult relationship with Louis McKay (Billy Dee Williams), her boyfriend and manager. Casting a shadow over even Holiday’s brightest moments is the vocalist’s severe drug addiction, which threatens to end both her career and her life.

Vidiots is celebrating **Día de los Muertos** with a whole day of spirited programming, activities, and surprises.

A rich folk-tale fantasy deeply entrenched in the folklore of Día de los Muertos, Macario is a haunting gem of Mexican and world cinema with stunning visuals and a dark mysticism. Poor, hungry peasant Macario longs for just one good meal on the Day of the Dead. After his wife cooks a turkey for him, he meets three apparitions, the Devil, God, and Death who each ask for a piece of his dinner. From who will he accept the bargain, and what price will he have to pay? The first Mexican film to be nominated for an Academy Award, this supernatural drama is not to be missed on the big screen.

Macario was restored by The Film Foundation’s World Cinema Project and Fundación Televisa at L’Immagine Ritrovata in collaboration with Filmoteca UNAM and in association with Televisa S. de R.L. de C.V.  Funding was provided by the Golden Globe Foundation, a generous supporter of Vidiots Foundation.

### **ABOUT THE FILM:**

A disturbed woman is receiving a radical form of psychotherapy at a remote, mysterious institute. Meanwhile, her five-year-old daughter, under the care of her estranged husband, is being terrorized by a group of demonic beings. How these two story lines connect is the shocking and grotesque secret of this bloody tale of monstrous parenthood from David Cronenberg, starring Oliver Reed and Samantha Eggar. With its combination of psychological and body horror, THE BROOD laid the groundwork for many of the director’s films to come, but it stands on its own as a personal, singularly scary vision.

Followed by a conversation with Stephanie LaCava, author of *NYMPH*, moderated by film critic Sarah Fensom.

∆

In Rudolf Thome’s vibrant artsploitation film *RED SUN*, Thomas (Marquard Bohm), a lazy and peculiarly attractive man, has left his wife and daughter to reconnect with ex-girlfriend Peggy (Uschi Obermaier), who lives in a house with four stylish and beautiful women. But these women operate under a deadly pact: they must kill any romantic conquest after five days, putting Thomas at risk. Released the same year the Red Army Faction was founded, Thorne's hypnotizing fantasy portrays an all-female revolutionary cell with pop aesthetics and a cooled-out pace, and it remains an eccentric stand-out from the German New Wave movement.

In German with English subtitles. A Radiance Films release. Special thanks to Bret Berg (American Genre Film Archive).

Filmmaker Xander Marro perhaps isn’t really a filmmaker so much as a jack-of-all trades type who loves analogue technology and fixing broken things, unless the broken thing is a leak, in which case 50/50 chance you are going to be wet.

She’s been living the good life in the feminist sub-underground for too many years to count on her long bony fingers. Her work is often about spiritual relationships to the material stuff of this world. Co-founder of the Dirt Palace in 2000 (feminist cupcake encrusted netherworld located along the dioxin filled banks of the Woonasquatucket river, which is to say in Providence, RI USA). Her studio (and heart) is there still. This program presents a handful of her shorts alongside of a bunch of shorts made by past residents of the Dirt Palace.
