Hundreds of Beavers

Posted on July 11, 2024

Hundreds of Beavers, one of the most entertaining and enduring independent films of the past decade, is back this April!

Called “gonzo cinema distilled from Buster Keaton to George Miller” (LA Times), “one of the most inventive comedies in years” (RogerEbert.com), that “puts most big screen comedies to shame,” (The Daily Beast), this impossible indie has become a word-of-mouth phenomenon — selling out theaters, melting Letterboxd & Rotten Tomatoes, and putting audiences worldwide into stitches.

Equal parts silent-era stunt work, Looney Tunes energy, and pure filmmaking lunacy, this is a cult hit that’s too much dam fun to stream alone at home!

The People’s Joker + Q&A w/ Vera Drew

Posted on July 11, 2024

The People’s Joker is back at The Frida, and this time we’ve got a very special treat for you: writer/director Vera Drew is joining us in-person for a Q&A after the film moderated by Louise Weard, director of the Castration Movie Anthology!

Set in a dystopian Gotham City, the film follows Vera, played by Drew herself, who aspires to become the first openly trans comedian. Struggling with oppressive societal norms and personal demons, Vera undergoes a transformative journey of self-discovery and empowerment. Infused with dark humor, surreal visuals, and a satirical edge, “The People’s Joker” challenges traditional narratives and delivers a poignant message about authenticity and resilience.

Don’t miss your chance to see one of 2024’s most outrageous (and best) films on the big screen!
