Ari Aster’s Folk Horror Favorite Midsommar Screens All Weekend

Have this article read to you, listen to it like a podcast

Our Director of the Month Ari Aster continued his run as one of the most renowned horror filmmakers of his generation with 2019’s Midsommar!

Dani and Christian are a young American couple with a relationship on the brink of falling apart. But after a family tragedy keeps them together, a grieving Dani invites herself to join Christian and his friends on a trip to a once-in-a-lifetime midsummer festival in a remote Swedish village. What begins as a carefree summer holiday in a land of eternal sunlight takes a sinister turn when the insular villagers invite their guests to partake in festivities that render the pastoral paradise increasingly unnerving and viscerally disturbing.

Led by an incredible lead performance by Florence Pugh, Aster’s highly acclaimed film drags audiences deeper into the dread-soaked cinematic fairytale where a world of darkness unfolds in broad daylight.

Friday, Apr 14 – 8pm
