Fall in love all over again with Anora, the Palme d’Or and Oscar-winning new film from writer/director Sean Baker (Tangerine, The Florida Project, Red Rocket). On Oscar night, Anora shook up the entire movie world as it took home five Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress In A Leading Role, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Editing! Don’t miss your chance see the most acclaimed film of 2024 on the big screen!

Anora, a young sex worker from Brooklyn, gets her chance at a Cinderella story when she meets and impulsively marries the son of an oligarch. Once the news reaches Russia, her fairytale is threatened as the parents set out for New York to get the marriage annulled.

Witness the wonder of Thomas Cailley’s Meanwhile on Earth, a speculative science fiction drama set in a near-future world.

The film follows multiple interconnected characters as they grapple with the knowledge that Earth will become uninhabitable within their lifetime due to environmental collapse. As governments, scientists, and everyday people search for solutions—from space colonization to radical technological innovations—Cailley weaves a thought-provoking narrative about human resilience, fear, and hope.

Adam Rehmeier’s darkly comedic indie favorite Dinner in America returns just in time for our all-month birthday celebration! And this time, we’re preceding it with Adam’s 2024 film Snack Shack for a double feature for the ages! And stick around after each film for an exclusive Q&A with writer/director Adam Rehmeier, Producer Ross Putnam, and more surprise cast and crew TBA from each film! 

Snack Shack is set in Nebraska City, 1991, as two best friends get the chance to run the swimming pool snack shack. Later on, it becomes to be the perfect scenario for transgression, fun, personal discovery and romance. The perfect Summer movie! 

Dinner In America follows an unlikely pair—Simon (Kyle Gallner), a punk rocker on the run from the law, and Patty (Emily Skeggs), a socially awkward misfit obsessed with his band. Set in the suburbs of Detroit, the film explores their chaotic journey as they bond over their mutual disdain for societal norms. As their connection grows, Simon and Patty embark on a rebellious adventure that confronts their personal insecurities and helps them discover their own voices.

Our award-winning resident performance troupe K.A.O.S. returns for their celebrated all-costumed, all-choreographed, all-leg-kicking live shadowcast presentation of 1975 cult classic The Rocky Horror Picture Show, performed on stage in front of the film!

Director Jim (Don’t squeeze the…) Sharman’s cult classic stars Barry Bostwick and Susan Sarandon as Brad and Janet, two virginal small-town lovers whose car breaks down in the shadows of a creepy old castle, where they encounter an odd collective of “unconventional conventionalists” gathered to witness transvestite scientist’s Dr. Frank-N-Furter’s latest creation – a muscular man named Rocky. As their innocence is lost, Brad and Janet meet a houseful of wild characters, including tap-dancing Columbia, rocking biker Eddie, and of course, the castle’s “Sweet Transvestite” himself, Frank-N-Furter!

Adapted from the 1973 stage musical by Richard O’Brien, this glam cult classic is a cinematic experience unlike any other. Sing-along (and shout-along!) to The Rocky Horror Picture Show, a classic that still packs houses 50 years after its initial release! Get your tickets now before it sells out!

Doors open at 11:00pm  Official K.A.O.S. preshow starts at 11:30pm!  Movie at midnight!
