NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN - Friday 7:30pm

Coen Bros spare none (including Bardem’s hair) in a relentless anti-western thriller. We all make our own fate, and no one gets out alive. Welcome to the holiday season!

[BRAIN DEAD STUDIOS @BRAINDEADLA]

MEMORIES OF UNDERDEVELOPMENT - Wednesday 7:30pm

New Wave Cuban classic, a landmark of Third Cinema! A writer wanders around post revolution, has an affair, and loses the plot a bit. Striking visuals, the intensity of early Godard mixed with its own unique voice. Masterpiece!

[BRAIN DEAD STUDIOS @BRAINDEADLA]

Sunday is all kinds of hell

5pm - SOMEWHERE: Sofia Coppola takes us to the Chateau Marmont for an existential crisis. Hollywood slice of life, Alan Rudolph via Chantal Akerman?

7:30pm - EVENT HORIZON: A portal to hell floating around Neptune as Outer Limits, Solaris and blood

[BRAIN DEAD STUDIOS @BRAINDEADLA]

Today! Christopher Walken dances with aliens, Ash gets groovy with his chainsaw and the Dalai Lama is (re)born. Stacked lineup of hits from Scorsese, Mora and Raimi.

EVIL DEAD II - 10pm on 35mm

[BRAIN DEAD STUDIOS @BRAINDEADLA]

IN A GLASS CAGE screens tonight at 7:30pm, with new short GABLE

The past always comes back to haunt you! An arthouse nightmare for the ages - a nazi in hiding, trapped in an iron lung, tortured by the literal demons of his past. A very Francis Bacon horror of the highest order.

[BRAIN DEAD STUDIOS @BRAINDEADLA]

ANOMALISA + DIMENSIONS OF DIALOGUE plays Wednesday 7:30pm

Stop motion anxiety tone poems - incredible work with puppets and clay. Nightmarish worlds about connecting and disconnection. Best way to lead into Thanksgiving!

[BRAIN DEAD STUDIOS @BRAINDEADLA]

[BRAIN DEAD STUDIOS @BRAINDEADLA]

ANOTHER BODY plays Wednesday 7:30pm

A truly terrifying documentary about deep-fakes and an unraveling of both a personal and societal problem and inevitably. Incredibly striking, shocking and revelatory!

[BRAIN DEAD STUDIOS @BRAINDEADLA]

MISTER ORGAN plays Tuesday 7:30pm

A bizarre, true life and larger than life tale of a weird, wild and very twisty series of events about both the eccentric main focus and his relationship to the journalist investigating his insane story.

[BRAIN DEAD STUDIOS @BRAINDEADLA]

LA Loft Movie Club + NEWS FROM HOME - Sunday 7:30pm

A collection of contemporary shorts in LA, bizarre, comedic, irreverent, tragic and always experimenting with form. A collection of letters and unbroken scenes of NYC ‘70s, a groundbreaking documentary from Chantal Akerman.

@museumofhomevideo joins us tonight for a gonzo double at 7:30pm

SIMPLY IRRESISTIBLE on 35mm - Buffy learns how to cook with the magic of a talking crab. Yup.

3 WOMEN - Altman’s dream vision of pool paintings and persona breakdowns. It’s very much a surrealistic pillow, best!

[BRAIN DEAD STUDIOS @BRAINDEADLA]

THE RED SHOES - Saturday 4:30pm

Technicolor fever dream, dancing queens and demonic shoes. A story about the balance of life and work, tragedy and more in one of the greatest films to ever hit the silver screen.

[BRAIN DEAD STUDIOS @BRAINDEADLA]

THE PILLOW BOOK - Wednesday 7:30pm

Erotic avant garde, another tremendous work from Greenaway. Body writing as sexual fetish, staggered layers of images within images all framed around a model and her calligraphic desires and journeys. Bring the paper and pen for this odyssey
