Our final Volunteer Of The Month pick was picked by Emma, as she has chosen Orson Welles’s singular adaptation of Franz Kafka’s chilling The Trial!
When bank clerk Josef K. (Anthony Perkins) is arrested on his thirtieth birthday—never told what he’s charged with, never shown his accusers—his attempt at normal life fractures into a surreal labyrinth of law offices, dark corridors, and anonymous verdicts. The law doesn’t need to explain itself, and neither does Welles’ camera—it obsesses over angles, shadows, and the hollowness of bureaucracy.
With its stark black-and-white visuals, towering architecture, and a sense of dread that feels both grand and intimate, The Trial is Welles’ most personal film—a nightmare built not for a moment, but for an eternity.

A city of dreams…and a dream of a city. Francis Ford Coppola’s long-gestating epic Megalopolis finally arrives at The Frida Cinema for a special tw-night event. A bold statement on power and the fate of civilization, it is not to be missed on the big screen.

Opposing him is the corrupt Mayor Franklyn Cicero, who clings to power and profit. Between them stands Julia, the mayor’s daughter, whose love for Cesar forces her to choose between loyalty, ambition, and the fate of humanity.
Shot over decades and self-financed at a staggering scale, Megalopolis is Coppola’s personal reckoning with myth, empire, and the artist’s role in shaping—or shattering—society.
