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.

Join us for a double feature of Gregg Araki’s The Doom Generation (1995) and Nowhere (1997)—a hallucinatory pairing of sex, violence, nihilism, teen alienation, and everything you’d want from a singular 90s queer punk film! These films are equal parts loud, hilarious, and devastating. Buckle up. It’s gonna get weird.

The Doom Generation (1995)

Starring Rose McGowan, James Duval, and Jonathan Schaech, this blood-soaked road movie follows teenage couple Amy Blue and Jordan White as they pick up the magnetic and possibly homicidal drifter Xavier Red. What starts as a sexy, snarky joyride descends into a surreal, ultraviolent spiral of absurdist violence, nihilism, and late-night convenience store hellscapes.

Nowhere (1997)

The final and most flamboyant entry in the Teen Apocalypse trilogy, Nowhere is a tangential day-in-the-life of queer and questioning teens in Los Angeles. Centered on the sweetly dazed Dark Smith (James Duval) and his yearning for love amid sex, drugs, alien abductions, cults, and lizard people, the film explodes into pure sensory overload.

The Slamdance Unstoppable: On The Road lineup was programmed from major festivals, including Slamdance, Sundance, ReelAbilities, Superfest, and Easterseals Disability Film Challenge. Programmed exclusively by artists with visible and non-visible disabilities, the tour will expand the Slamdance Unstoppable programming into arthouse theaters across the US championing underrepresented voices and fostering accessibility and representation to new audiences across the country.

The Frida Cinema has curated a unique selection from the Slamdance Unstoppable programming featuring the following shorts and feature and will also feature in-person Q&As with local filmmakers. Check out the times and information on the films below!
