Mel Brooks’ comedy spans the lowest to the highest in the course of this film, and there’s no joke he won’t mine mercilessly for the last little laugh. A testament to just how well surgical satire can undercut and expose the racist truths that lay under American history, BLAZING SADDLES allows us to confront the nation’s past while also laughing at it. Not only does Mel Brooks' film spoof the westerns of the mid-20th century excellently, it manages to talk about race and equality issues in a manner that is at once horrific and hilarious. The frank nature of the racial slurs reminds you how intolerant people back then really must have been, but then the over the top Looney Tunes inspired comedy shows just how ridiculous that kind of ignorance really was. Starring Mel Brooks, Gene Wilder, Cleavon Little, Madeline Khan, Harvey Korman, Slim Pickens. Come early! Doors 5pm, Pre-show 5:30pm

Desert ants suddenly form a collective intelligence and begin to wage war on the inhabitants. It is up to two scientists and a stray girl they rescue from the ants to destroy them. Known for its surreal visuals, minimal dialogue, and intense, close-up cinematography, it is highly regarded for its unique take on ecological horror, often compared to a "psychedelic 2001". The sole feature film directed by acclaimed graphic artist Saul Bass, PHASE IV is a landmark of 1970s science fiction as it blends arresting visuals, photographed by Dick Bush (Sorcerer) along with nature photographer Ken Middleham, with a tense and harrowing animal attack narrative. Starring Nigel Davenport (Chariots of Fire), Michael Murphy (Nashville), and Lynne Frederick (Schizo) and featuring a mesmerizing musical score by electronic music pioneer Brian Gascoigne.

The film features a fictional scientist, Dr. Nils Hellstrom (played by Lawrence Pressman), who argues that insects are superior to humans due to their adaptability, collective intelligence, and ruthless efficiency, and that they will ultimately inherit the Earth. It is described as a "quasi-documentary" or "horror pseudo-documentary" with an ominous tone. It won the 1972 Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature and the BAFTA Award for Best Documentary, despite being a fictional narrative. Directed by Walon Green and Ed Spiegel, and produced by David L. Wolper, it was a major influence on Frank Herbert's novel Hellstrom's Hive. DOORS: One hour before start time, pre-show 30 mins before.

Co-presented with DocPlay: WELCOME SPACE BROTHERS unveils the true story of The Unarius Academy of Science, an extraterrestrial-channeling spiritual school in Southern California who in the late 1970s became a wildly prolific filmmaking collective under the direction of their outlandish spiritual leader Ruth E. Norman, AKA “Archangel Uriel.” “If I didn’t know Jodi Wille’s film, Welcome Space Brothers, was a documentary, I’d swear it was a WTF, insane, sci-fi tale of weirdness. The story of Ruth is fascinating….” - Film Threat "“As with (Wille’s) previous film The Source Family…she remains steadfastly non-judgemental about the unconventional spiritual utopian communitarianism that is so often dismissed as delusional hippy bullshit. Where corporate stooge David Letterman saw Uriel as one zany kook among an endless stream of “talent,” Wille accepts her as a significant historical figure—a flawed but visionary creative force for good in the world, deserving of our respect." - Artillery COME EARLY!
