A Seattle International Film Festival entry (The Dry), a quotable classic (The Princess Bride), and not one but two films about small-town Welsh visionaries (Rockfield and Dream Horse) hit virtual and in-person screens this week. Plus, if you’re feeling spooky, the 2020 edition of The Stranger‘s horror short-film festival SLAY is now on-demand, and the next iteration is accepting submissions through September 15!

Punk the Capital
Bad Brains, Henry Rollins, and Ian MacKaye make appearances in this doc that traces the early days of punk in Reagan-era Washington, D.C. “This movie isn’t meant to touch on every single detail of Washington, D.C.’s well-documented punk scene,” reads a Film Threat review. “Instead, it gives us a strong overview of the biggest movers and shakers within this community and encourages us to seek out more where we can.”
