Our VOTM series invites a selected volunteer(s) to program a film of their choice, in gratitude of their stellar service!

In Bruges
- Tue, May 6
- Wed, May 7
- Thu, May 8
Director: Martin McDonagh Run Time: 108 min. Release Year: 2008
Starring: Brendan Gleeson, Clémence Poésy, Colin Farrell, Ralph Fiennes, Thekla Reuten
Our first Volunteer Of The Month pick is from Preston, who has chosen the pitch-black Martin McDonagh comedy In Bruges! A darkly hilarious meditation on guilt, redemption, and very bad timing, In Bruges is a foul-mouthed fairy tale for sinners. Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson are two hitmen hiding out in a postcard-perfect Belgian city, waiting for orders and wrestling with their consciences. McDonagh’s feature debut balances razor-sharp dialogue, brutal violence, and unexpected heart—walking the tightrope between tragedy and comedy with bloody precision. Beautiful, profane, and weirdly poignant.

A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night
- Fri, May 16
- Sat, May 17
- Sun, May 18
Director: Ana Lily Amirpour Run Time: 101 min. Release Year: 2014
Starring: Arash Marandi, Dominic Rains, Marshall Manesh, Mozhan Navabi, Sheila Vand
Our second Volunteer Of The Month pick goes to Hillary, who has chosen Frida Cinema favorite Ana Lily Amirpour's A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night, also doubling as an entry into our 21st Century Cult series! Set in the fictional Iranian ghost town of Bad City, the film follows a chador-cloaked vampire (Sheila Vand) who stalks the night on a skateboard, preying on men who underestimate her. Shot in sumptuous black-and-white, it’s a hauntingly stylish tale of loneliness, justice, and bloodlust—where underground rock, spaghetti western swagger, and quiet longing swirl into something fierce and unforgettable. Part vampire noir, part feminist revenge fantasy, and entirely its own hypnotic beast, A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night is a genre-smashing cult sensation—equal parts Sergio Leone, Jim Jarmusch, and graphic novel fever dream. A bold debut that announced a major new voice in genre cinema, this is arthouse horror with some serious bite!
