“I’m so tired of Trump; why would I want to watch a movie about him? I just want him to go away!”
Call it an unbinding ritual.
On election eve, Monday November 4 at 7 pm, we summon those who are ready.
Ready to move ahead.
Ready to be free of a persistent psychic wrecking ball.
Ready to be with others who are also ready to release some pent up emotions. Ready to hoot, holler, and scream at the screen if necessary.
Because, ready or not, here it all comes.
Vote on Election Day if you haven’t already.
And join us for the closing night of our art house cinema pop-up to see “The Apprentice.” It could just be cathartic.

Tuesday Oct 29 at 7, join Nicole Berland from @nightschooldurham Film School for a screening and discussion of Luca Guadagnino’s macabre masterpiece from 2018, “Suspiria”!
A perfect crescendo for spooky season, Guadagnino’s horror film is a 21st-century reinterpretation of the 1977 Dario Argento cult classic. Clearly enamored of the original, Guadagnino channels Argento’s delicious visuals, and replaces Goblin’s iconic prog rock score with haunting krautrock from Radiohead’s Thom Yorke.
The film follows young Susie Bannon, who makes her way from Mennonite Ohio to an elite dance academy in Berlin. Just as her star rises, more of her fellow students begin disappearing. Transpiring over a languid 152 minutes, Guadanino’s remake retrieves much of what’s best from the original and draws it out into something that is as muted and violent as the soft voice and frenzied dancing of the film’s star, Dakota Johnson.
It’s a polarizing film, with much to unpack, but you should come ready to immerse yourself in a witchy, and occasionally messy, dance of sisterhood, magic, and blood.
FREE screening, please RSVP at link in bio!
Screening Wed Oct 30 at 7 pm as part of Shadowbox’s Art House Cinema Pop-Up event, @thejohnrash and Melanie Ho’s “Our Movement Starts Here” @ejdocumentary!
In 1982, a rural, predominately Black community in North Carolina mobilized and fought the state’s plan to site a toxic PCB landfill in their county.
This landmark action, the first to articulate the concepts of environmental racism and environmental justice,brought together civil rights activists and environmentalist for the first time to fight for common goals.
40 years later, the citizens of Warren County commemorate the anniversary by inspiring a new generation of environmental justice activists to push the movement into a future that grapples with the inequities of climate change, continued environmental atrocities that target poor communities of color, and a system that continues to dump on those with the least power to fight.
Through contemporary interviews with the original protesters who inspired the environmental justice movement in 1982, this feature documentary tells the story of a rural community fighting the state of North Carolina’s plan to construct a toxic landfill near their homes.
“Our Movement Starts Here” is part of the NC films program on Wed 10/30. Also screening that night are two short films, “The Black Baptism” by Stephanie Diane Ford @mein5d & “Playing House” by Jennifer Scully-Thurston @roguedance!
Tickets $10 and are available at link in bio!
