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.

You only get one shot at fame.

The scintillating feature debut of Mary Harron (American Psycho) and one of the most controversial independent films of the 1990s, I Shot Andy Warhol stars an electric Lili Taylor as Valerie Solanas, a militant feminist whose attempted murder of Andy Warhol brought instant fame to her radically anti-male SCUM Manifesto. 

Dropping out of grad school in the midsixties, the brilliant yet volatile Solanas survived in New York City as a destitute artist, sex worker, and panhandler, soon striking up a friendship with Warhol superstar Candy Darling that brought her briefly into the orbit of the world’s premier pop artist. 

Featuring a blistering score by John Cale as well as covers of sixties hits by some of the nineties’ most iconic bands (R.E.M., Wilco), I Shot Andy Warhol is an incisive portrait of a rebel without an outlet and the soon-to-be-lost generation she came to define.

In remembrance of filmmaker and artist Marjane Satrapi, we are screening a week of her 2007 animated masterpiece Persepolis.

Growing up in revolutionary Iran, young Marjane is outspoken, curious, and determined to chart her own path in a world growing increasingly restrictive. Sent abroad by her family for safety, she navigates adolescence, exile, love, and loss while struggling to reconcile the person she has become with the homeland she left behind. Through it all, Marjane searches for a place to belong.

Rendered in striking black-and-white animation, Persepolis captures both the upheaval of political change and the intimate joys and heartbreaks of growing up. It stands as a testament to Satrapi’s singular voice: a filmmaker who turned memory into art and invited audiences around the world to see history through the eyes of one unforgettable life.

Julia Ducournau’s controversial Palme d’Or body horror extravaganza, Titane, is coming back to The Frida for some July encores!

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.

In the summer of 2025, a twenty-something took a solo trip to Yosemite. It was his goal to rediscover what it meant to be alive — and to say goodbye. From the director of Brainbugs comes Wildman, a new, unique vision of madness.

Shot entirely on a 2009 Sony Handycam camcorder, Wildman is an oddball freakshow adventure movie. Part found footage, part one-man-show, and part quasi-musical.

I Saw The TV Glow is back at The Frida to celebrate the upcoming release of Jane Schoenbrun’s new film, Teenage Sex & Death at Camp Miasma, opening at The Frida on 8/21! 

Teenager Owen is just trying to make it through life in the suburbs when his classmate Maddy introduces him to a mysterious late-night TV show, a vision of a supernatural world beneath their own. In the pale glow of the television, Owen’s view of reality begins to crack.

Only a couple years after after its initial release on our screens, I Saw The TV Glow has been one of our most requested bring-back titles. Bathed in neon light and aching nostalgia, Schoenbrun transforms the language of cult television and suburban adolescence into something deeply personal, crafting a film that is both an eerie fantasy and an emotionally devastating portrait of self-discovery. Few films have ever resonated so deeply with our audience. 

We’re  doing an encore of the hilarious early-aughts satire Josie and the Pussycats!

The film follows Josie (Rachael Leigh Cook), Melody (Tara Reid), and Valerie (Rosario Dawson), three small-town girls who form a rock band and get swept up in the glitzy world of fame, where they discover the dark undercurrents of the music industry. As they rise to stardom, they find themselves being manipulated by an all-powerful corporation that’s using their music to influence the minds of consumers. Oh, and did we mention the villain is played by none other than Miss Parker Posey? And who doesn’t love Alan Cumming!?

Though initially dismissed as a bubblegum teen comedy, Josie and the Pussycats has since gone on to become a cult classic, still electrifying audiences over two decades since its release!
