Our Classic Movie Nights series heads West as we screen Howard Hawks’ Western masterpiece Rio Bravo, starring John Wayne, Dean Martin, and Ricky Nelson.
A small-town sheriff in the American West enlists the help of a disabled man, a drunk, and a young gunfighter in his efforts to hold in jail the brother of the local bad guy.
Disregarded at the time of its release, and still underrated by many critics, Rio Bavo is finally coming into its own as one of director/producer Howard Hawks’ final great films.

Join us for the inaugural film in a new series we’re calling Hallucinations as we present the 1996 cult classic Cannibal! The Musical.
Before South Park and The Book Of Mormon, Trey Parker and Matt Stone created an ultra-low budget musical that’s been largely lost to time, despite their creators’ fame. A new restoration is the perfect way to see this forgotten film that paved the way for two oft he most successful comedy writers of the century.
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”. Plante will introduce each film with some behind-the-scenes history and critical context. With Hallucinations, The Frida Cinema wants to build a communal space for lovers of Weird Cinema. 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.
