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.

Cutter does everything his way. Fighting. Loving. Working. Tracking down a killer.
Our Hallucinations series is detouring to the world of sun-soaked neo-Noir with Cutter’s Way!
Alex Cutter is a boozy, belligerent and deeply cynical Vietnam veteran whose encounter with a landmine during the war has left him minus an eye, a leg and an arm. When his drifter playboy friend Richard Bone is falsely accused of murder, Cutter sets out for revenge in his own inimitable style.
Cutter’s Way is one of the great overlooked neo-Noirs of the 1980s and an extremely cynical portrait of a country where power always seems untouchable.
Hosted by Polygon’s editor-in-chief Chris Plante, Hallucinations is a monthly event that spotlights movies that challenge our expectations of story, style, and “good taste”. We invite guests to bond over films that change what we expect from the medium, the world, and themselves. So come early, stay late, make friends, and watch something strange, surprising, or just shamelessly sick.

In the town of Twin Peaks, everyone has their secrets…especially Laura Palmer.
Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me is coming back to The Frida Cinema, playing between seasons two and three of our Twin Peaks: The Complete Series saga! And make sure to stick around afterwards as we go further down the rabbit hole with Twin Peaks: The Missing Pieces, a 2014 compilation of deleted and extended scenes from the film.
In this prequel to his groundbreaking 1990s television series, David Lynch resurrects the teenager found wrapped in plastic at the beginning of the show, following her through the last week of her life and teasing out the enigmas that surround her murder. Nightmarish in its vision of an innocent torn apart by unfathomable forces, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me is nevertheless one of Lynch’s most humane films, aching with compassion for its tortured heroine.
One ticket gets you access to two movies! There will be a ten minute intermission between both films.

Just added: guests that dress up like Aunt Gladys to either of our 10:15PM screenings will receive a free small popcorn!
Last night at 2:17 AM, every child from Mrs. Gandy’s class woke up, got out of bed, went downstairs, opened the front door, and walked into the dark.
The Frida Cinema is proud to present Zach Cregger’s suburban horror masterpiece Weapons, hot off the heels of its win at the 2026 Academy Awards, where Amy Madigan won Best Supporting Actress for your unforgettable performance as the terrifying Aunt Gladys.
Weapons tells the story of the quiet town of Maybrook, where a single, terrifying event shatters the community overnight. After seventeen children from the same elementary school class mysteriously vanish from their homes, their community is launched into chaos, with everyone wanting answers. What begins as a baffling missing-children case slowly spirals into something far more disturbing, as the town is forced to confront the possibility that the disappearances may be tied to a darker, more supernatural force lurking beneath the surface.
One of the biggest hits of the year as far as original stories are concerned, Weapons is exactly the type of bold, big-budgeting genre filmmaking we need to be celebrating right now. Don’t miss your chance to see it (or see it again) on the big screen!

Set at the height of the great purge and drenched in the paranoia of Stalin’s police state, Two Prosecutors is a Kafkaesque thriller about the impunity of power and matter-of-fact horrors of fascism.

Who killed Laura Palmer?
Be still your beating heart, The Frida Cinema is finally bringing the original 94 minute Twin Peaks pilot to our audience!
Widely regarded as a landmark in television history, the pilot stunned audiences with its combination of small-town mystery and supernatural weirdness that only a dreamer like David Lynch could create. Lynch and co-creator Mark Frost established a tone that was at once familiar and made it completely and utterly disorienting, layering dark secrets and eery characters one after another, influencing decades of prestige television and cinema alike.
Join us, one night only, on Sunday, March 29th as we attempt to re-create appointment television viewing. Only this time, on a much bigger screen.
Doors open at 7:30PM and the show will begin at 8:00PM!
