Join us for Nuit Blanche on September 26 for a free presentation of Dave Dyment’s found footage piece Watching Night of the Living Dead, which reanimates the George Romero classic entirely using footage of characters from other films and television series watching the movie on TV or at the cinema.

The countless clips that make up Watching Night of The Living Dead testify to the ongoing influence of the original, and to the fact that copyright laws may have robbed Romero of all royalties, but also ensured his legacy.

Architecture+Film returns September 25 with The History of Concrete. Presented in partnership with Winnipeg Architecture Foundation.

Following the finale of his acclaimed HBO series “How To with John Wilson”, NYC documentarian John Wilson looks to the bedrock of his beloved New York City for inspiration and structure. Concrete, the world's most widely used building material, appears as an ever-present life force, and John sets out to make the definitive documentary on the matter. After attending a workshop on how to write and sell a Hallmark movie, he decides to use the industry-approved Hallmark formula to tell this seemingly drab story and increase his movie’s appeal. But his foundation soon begins to crumble—literally and figuratively—as he struggles to balance artistic freedom with the realities of the modern film industry.

In an impoverished neighborhood of 1980s Medellín, a group of disaffected teens steals a TV reporter’s camera to document their lives. Piercing the derelict landscape’s oppressive atmosphere with disarming reflections on dreams and death, their understanding of reality and hope begins to erode as reports of mysterious lights falling from the sky coincide with temporal and spatial distortions.

The feature debut from Bad Bunny collaborator STILLZ and featuring the first original score by Arca, Barrio Triste is a generational portrait of Colombia’s forgotten youth, both personal and specific in its perspective, yet unclassifiable in its formal audacity. Accentuated by Arca’s intense, shape-shifting sonic palette, STILLZ boldly navigates the liminal spaces between despair and transcendence in “one of the year’s great debuts” (The Film Stage).

Barrio Triste opens September 24

Comedian, star and co-founder of Kids in the Hall, Kevin McDonald presents The Producers on September 23 for McDonald at The Movies! Generously sponsored by IATSE 856 Manitoba.

In a final bid at financial success, has-been Max Bialystock (Zero Mostel) produces a purposefully abhorrent musical on the advice of accountant Leo Bloom (Gene Wilder), who thinks that one can make more money from a flop than a hit.

Cult-O-Rama returns September 19 with Rosa von Praunheim’s Tally Brown, New York. Presented in partnership with Sookram’s Brewing Co. and generously sponsored by IATSE 856 Manitoba.

Both a loving portrait of a larger-than-life personality and a vivid record of New York’s 1970s downtown demimonde, this captivating documentary follows Tally Brown—cabaret chanteuse, underground film star, and a staple of Andy Warhol’s Factory—as she takes filmmaker Rosa von Praunheim on a tour through the grit and glamour of the city that made her. Capturing Brown’s mesmerizing performances (including her breathtaking bilingual cover of David Bowie’s “Heroes”) as well as her social world among fellow q***r cult icons like Holly Woodlawn, Divine, and Taylor Mead, Tally Brown, New York is an essential snapshot of a scene that has passed into legend.

“A must-see for all those interested in performance and the cultural history of New York in the '70s; the bewigged Miss Brown, with false eyelashes capable of sending her short, round body aloft, is the most mesmerizing raconteur and cabaret artist you'll hear this year.” - Melissa Anderson, The Village Voice
