- The Catechism Cataclysm
Well, first and foremost, there’s Tom Skerritt Happy Hour. OBVIOUSLY.
But second and certainly not foreleast, there’s all this other stuff!
At the Triple Door there are two screenings of Damien Jurado and the Russian Avant-Garde, which sounds neat:
Short films by French impressionist director Dimitri Kirsanoff (1899—1957) paired with a live score played by Damien Jurado. There will be an axe murder.
At the Egyptian it’s The Redemption of General Butt Naked:
A rather astounding documentary about Liberia’s Joshua Milton Blahyl, a warlord whose terrifying guerilla tactics during his country’s Civil War led to the deaths of an estimated 20,000 people. Following the installation of a new regime, Blahyl reinvented himself as an evangelist, who now travels the country looking for (and in some queasy cases, demanding) forgiveness from the families of his former victims. But is his conversion legit, or just a way to escape answering for his crimes? Answer hazy, check back later. Shot over a period of five years, this fantastic film should inspire scads of post-screening discussions. ANDREW WRIGHT
We also loved Buck and Catechism Cataclysm and Princess and Heading West, but you should really just look at the whole list HERE because there’s a bunch more. See you at happy hour!
