Alex Ross Perry’s Pavements is coming to The Frida Cinema!

An ambitious blend of narrative, scripted, documentary, musical, and metatextual form, the fil intimately shows the band preparing for their sold out 2022 reunion tour while simultaneously tracking their preparations for a musical based on their songs, a museum devoted to their history, and a big-budget Hollywood biopic inspired by their saga as the most important band of a generation.

Starring Joe Keery, Jason Schwartzman, Nat Wolff, Fred Hechinger, Logan Miller, Griffin Newman, Tim Heidecker, Michael Esper, Zoe Lister-Jones, Kathryn Gallagher, and as themselves….the band Pavement. 

Our A24orror series comes to a very spooky conclusion with Bring Her Back, a disturbing descent into psychological dread from directors Danny Philippou and Michael Philippou (Talk To Me).

Bring Her Back tells the story of a brother and sister that uncover a terrifying ritual at the secluded home of their new foster mother. With another great performance from Sally Hawkins and a number of horrifying sequences, it’ll have you thinking long after you’ve left the theater.

Brace yourself for a haunting you won’t forget.

Charlotte Wells’ quietly devastating debut masterpiece, Aftersun, is returning to The Frida Cinema for a special 2-day run for Father’s Day weekend. 

An 11-year-old girl named Sophie (Frankie Corio) spends a summer holiday at a Turkish resort with her father, Calum (Paul Mescal)—a man young in years but carrying invisible burdens. Seen through Sophie’s sunlit, inquisitive eyes, the trip is tender and ordinary: poolside games, shared meals, camcorder footage, karaoke, and fleeting glimpses of adult sadness she doesn’t yet understand.

Aftersun is more than a coming-of-age story. It’s also a haunting act of remembrance.

Julia Ducournau’s controversial Palme d’Or body horror extravaganza is coming back for our Father’s Day weekend programming as present Titane from 2021!

A woman with a metal plate in her head from a childhood car accident embarks on a bizarre journey, bringing her into contact with a firefighter who’s reunited with his missing son after 10 years.

Unflinching and unforgettable, Titane fuses the visceral with the vulnerable. Ducournau (Raw and the upcoming Alpha) directs with feral intensity, crafting a film that shifts from slasher to surrealist family drama to near-mythic transformation tale all in one.

One night. One city. One endless conversation. We continue our recurring June 16th celebration with yet another screening of Before Sunrise, now celebrating 30 years since its release!

On a train bound for Vienna, two strangers—Jesse (Ethan Hawke), a restless American backpacker, and Céline (Julie Delpy), a thoughtful French student—strike up a casual conversation that quickly deepens into something electric. Jesse, impulsive and charming, persuades Céline to get off the train with him and wander the city until his flight leaves the next morning.

Over the course of one night, they talk, laugh, debate, and flirt as they walk the cobblestone streets, share glances by the Danube, and explore the edges of intimacy. With no promise of a future, they make the present infinite.
