Mark Jenkin (Bait, Enys Men) is back with his latest mind-trip, Rose of Nevada, starring Callum Turner and George MacKay! 

A mysterious boat returns to a village 30 years after vanishing. Two men join its crew hoping for better fortune. After one voyage, they find themselves transported back in time, mistaken for the original crew.

One of the most distinctive voices in contemporary UK art cinema, Mark Jenkin has made quite the name for himself for his handmade aesthetic, and Rose of Nevada looks to be more of that strange, melancholy folk-horror hybrid that we continue to be fascinated by.

How could we do an Art House for Families series without a classic Godzilla film!? It’s time for 1965’s Invasion of Astro-Monster, the fierce battle between Godzilla, Rodan, and King Ghidorah!

Aliens from Planet X make an irresistible offer to the people of Earth: let them borrow Godzilla and Rodan to help defeat King Ghidorah, and in return they will provide a cure for all known human disease. But the aliens’ duplicity is soon revealed, as they deploy all three monsters in their quest to conquer Earth.

This retro romp, featuring American star Nick Adams, stands as a high point in the Showa Godzilla series.

This film will be dubbed in English as to be more accessible for younger viewers.

Our Art House for Families series celebrates the magic of moviegoing across generations all summer long. From silent comedy and international classics to science fiction and fantasy adventures, the series invites longtime cinephiles and first-time art house audiences of all ages to discover some of cinema’s most enduring films together on the big screen. This event is sponsored in part by the City of Santa Ana. 

Abby, a brilliant, young neuroscientist who has recently lost her father, drowns her grief by spending her days working with a monkey named Dorey. Abby meets a programmer, Sam, who has created a technology that reconnects Abby with her beloved father. Her relationship with her digitized dad then forces her to re-examine everything from her romantic relationships to her life’s work.

Flickrhappy returns to The Frida Cinema for a special FREE screening of the beloved 1972 film adaptation of the Tony Award-winning Broadway sensation, 1776!

A musical about the signing of the Declaration of Independence may not sound like a crowd-pleaser on paper, but 1776 pulls off the impossible, transforming one of the most consequential moments in American history into a surprisingly moving political drama. Featuring a tour-de-force performance by William Daniels as the fiery John Adams, the film brings the Founding Fathers vividly to life as they clash over the birth of a nation.

Decades before Hamilton, 1776 proved that history could sing. In fact, Lin-Manuel Miranda has cited the musical as one of the inspirations behind his groundbreaking hit. When 1776 premiered on Broadway and later arrived on screen in 1972, it achieved something remarkable: it made the nation’s founding dramatically accessible while remaining deeply entertaining and profoundly human. Audiences across the political spectrum embraced its celebration of the imperfect process of democracy. Rather than portraying the Founding Fathers as untouchable legends, the musical presents them as passionate, flawed individuals struggling to create something greater than themselves.

Don’t miss this rare opportunity to experience 1776 on the big screen, for free, thanks to our friends at Flickrhappy!
