Feminist Horror Week at Hyperreal.
Oct 12–16 · Hyperreal Film Club, 301 Chicon St
The Invasive Species 2 invasion is spreading to the cinema. Curated by our Executive Director Faiza Kracheni with support from Cynthia Muñoz and Alexis Hunter, five nights of cult classics, contemporary features, experimental films and local shorts about desire, the body, belonging, and what happens when the things that haunt us refuse to stay hidden. We are flying in experimental filmmaker Ana Armengod for a night of her work and a visit to our Avant-Garde class.
