The Frida Cinema, with support from the Doreen D. Marshall Fund for Youth, presents our monthly Sensory Friendly Screenings series. Guests at these special film screenings can expect to find our auditorium lights on, our sound levels lowered, and the rare invitation to NOT sit still at the movies! For once, don’t expect to get hushed if sitting still is a challenge — we invite our Sensory Friendly Screening guests to get up, dance, and move about the auditorium if that’s what you feel like doing! These screenings will be presented the last Saturday and Sunday of every month, starting at 2pm.

Take flight with Robert Altman’s surreal fantasy Brewster McCloud, kicking off our three film tribute to beloved character actor Bud Cort!
Brewster (Cort) is an owlish, intellectual boy who lives in a fallout shelter of the Houston Astrodome. He has a dream: to take flight within the confines of the stadium. Brewster tells those he trusts of his dream, but displays a unique way of treating others who do not fit within his plans. While a young tour guide befriends Brewster and tries to get to know him better, the Houston police struggle to solve a sudden rash of strangulation murders.
A quirky comedy with a pronounced dark streak, Brewster McCloud is one of Altman’s most delightfully strange films, often forgotten amongst his myriad of filmic masterpieces. You know how people say “they don’t make ’em like this anymore”? Well, they really don’t make ’em like this anymore.
