DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“A compelling\, necessary piece of cinema that demands we find our humanity before the hourglass runs out.” – Next Best Picture \n\n\n\nFrom Oscar®-nominated and Emmy® Award-winning filmmaker Poh Si Teng (producer of the short St. Louis Superman)\, American Doctor follows three American physicians— Palestinian\, Jewish\, and Zoroastrian—united by a single oath to save lives.

When will this bloodshed stop? And when will the United States of America stop supporting it? Filmmaker Poh Si Teng offers a clear-eyed\, unrelenting look at the genocide in Gaza \n\n\n\n\n\nThe Film Stage \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArkadin does not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films\, as sensitivities vary from person to person.

SUMMARY:EARTH'S GREATEST ENEMY (2025) + virtual Q&A with director Abby Martin
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Captures the unfathomable breadth of ecological and human suffering caused by militarism. It covers the cost of war to the oceans\, animal and plant life\, fresh water\, and more. If someone lives in the belly of this military beast\, Earth’s Greatest Enemy should be a required watch.” – Common Dreams \n\n\n\nEarth’s Greatest Enemy\, the second feature film project by Abby Martin\, is a groundbreaking anti-imperialist environmental documentary. Exempt from international climate agreements and rarely scrutinized in mainstream reporting\, the Pentagon is the world’s single largest institutional polluter—spewing carbon\, contaminating water\, and scarring landscapes across the globe. Combining investigative journalism\, striking visuals\, and stories from impacted communities\, this film challenges audiences to rethink the hidden costs of a global military empire and its planetary consequences. Provocative\, urgent\, and eye-opening\, this is a documentary that will change how you see both the military and environmentalism. \n\n\n\nA virtual Q&A with Abby Martin will follow the screening! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArkadin does not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films\, as sensitivities vary from person to person.

SUMMARY:DEAD MEDIA (2025) w/ live filmmaker Q&A
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Dead Media is an exciting homage to great horror\, cult classics\, and the bygone era of DVD bonus features.” – Twin Cities Geek \n\n\n\nYou may be done with the DVD\, but it’s not done with you. \n\n\n\nDirector Joseph Scrimshaw will be in the house for a Q&A as we present a very special screening of his new film Dead Media!

SUMMARY:ROSE OF NEVADA (2025) -- "a stupefying\, time-slipping ghost story"
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Like nothing else in modern movies. Feels unearthed from the deep\, dark recesses of the unconscious.” – Nick Schager\, The Daily Beast \n\n\n\n“A stupefying\, time-slipping ghost story” (The Film Stage) from Mark Jenkin\, the visionary director of Enys Men\, Rose of Nevada is a seasick sci-fi-inflected journey into the unknown. Or\, as critic Brian Tallerico put it\, “a mind-fuck” that “reminds you of the work of Mike Leigh and David Lynch at the same time.”  \n\n\n\nThree decades ago\, the Rose of Nevada vanished at sea\, along with its crew. Now\, it has returned. In a remote fishing village\, its reappearance is embraced as an auspicious sign\, with the local citizens convinced the luck of their economically devastated community may turn\, if only the ship sails again. Joining the crew is Nick (George MacKay\, 1917)\, desperate to provide for his young family\, and Liam (Callum Turner\, Fantastic Beasts)\, a mysterious drifter eager to escape his past. After a successful voyage\, they return to harbor\, only to find that nothing is as they remember it.  \n\n\n\nShot on 16mm film with a vintage Bolex H16\, a camera that only allows a maximum runtime of 28 seconds per take\, and edited with a haunting\, rhythmic pulse\, Rose of Nevada is\, like its characters\, adrift in time—ferociously contemporary yet profoundly haunted by the past. It’s also very weird\, very cool\, and like nothing else in contemporary cinema. \n\n\n\nPlease note: Start time was originally listed as 7 pm. It has been moved to 7:30 pm. \n\n\n\nWHAT THE CRITICS ARE SAYING…\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Brilliantly weird” \n\n\n\n\n“With Rose of Nevada\, Jenkin has further cemented himself as one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary cinema… brilliantly weird and wholly intoxicating.” \n\n\n\n\n\nThe Upcoming \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Mind-fuck” \n\n\n\n\n“It’s not every day that you see a film that reminds you of the work of Mike Leigh and David Lynch at the same time. Still\, there aren’t a lot of movies like this mind-fuck of a flick… I won’t forget it.” \n\n\n\n\n\nRogerEbert.com \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Moving… unnerving… striking” \n\n\n\n\n“An experience as moving as it is unnerving\, and as the piercing screeching of iron rods announces the Rose of Nevada is to leave port once more\, it is we the audience there to wave a pained goodbye\, quietly stunned by the ethereal aura of Jenkin’s striking creation.” \n\n\n\n\n\n★ ★ ★ ★ ★ \n\n\n\nLittle White Lies \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArkadin does not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films\, as sensitivities vary from person to person.

SUMMARY:Guy Maddin's "hilariously bizarre" CAREFUL (1992) -- new 4K restoration presented by Lost in the Arthouse
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLOST IN THE ARTHOUSE is a monthly series hosted by Arkadin co-owner Keith Watson that takes you to hidden corners of filmdom far from Hollywood. From must-see classics to obscurities waiting to be discovered\, these films stand at cinema’s bleeding edge. \n\n\n\n“Hilariously bizarre… like some lost masterpiece from a time-warped alternative dimension.” – The Washington Post \n\n\n\nArkadin favorite Guy Maddin’s early masterpiece takes place in a 19th-century Alpine village where the wary residents—adult\, child and animal—must speak softly and tread lightly lest they cause an avalanche. But sexual frenzies teem in this world of repression\, setting off incestuous love triangles and quadrangles with deadly consequences. Bathed in lurid\, luminescent tints\, CAREFUL is Maddin’s twisted ode to a largely forgotten film subgenre\, the German “Bergfilme” of the 1920s and ’30s\, which pitted man (and woman) against mountain in epic survivalist adventures. Merging these bygone conventions with Maddin’s own delirious obsessions results in a truly singular work that resembles a vintage melodrama from another planet. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArkadin does not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films\, as sensitivities vary from person to person. However\, we encourage researching titles to determine if a screening may contain content that could be upsetting to you. Please feel free to contact us for guidance on specific films. Information about content can also be found on Common Sense Media\, IMDB and DoesTheDogDie.com\, as well as through general internet searches. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTheater Policies\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAll seats are first-come\, first-served.\n\n\n\nThe theater opens 30 minutes prior to showtime\, except for “Happy Hour” events and pre-shows when the theater opens at the listed start time.\n\n\n\nWhen a screening is sold out\, we open a waitlist 30 minutes before showtime. You must physically come to the lobby to get your name on the waitlist. Seats are released as they become available.

SUMMARY:FUCKTOYS (2025) -- "Irreverent and audacious sex comedy!"
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Irreverent and audacious! Annapurna Sriram’s saucy and singular sex comedy tests the limits of good taste.” – Variety \n\n\n\nPart-time sex worker\, full-time chaos magnet\, AP is convinced that the universe has it out for her… and she might be right. In Fucktoys—the wild\, unfiltered debut from writer/director/star Annapurna Sriram—AP seeks a cosmic reset after a swampy tarot reading (courtesy Big Freedia) tells her she needs $1\,000 and a sacrificial lamb to lift her curse. Armed with neither\, she sets off on a bizarre quest with her kindred spirit Danni (Sadie Scott) through Trashtown\, USA—a dystopian\, neon-drenched sprawl of assorted oddballs\, Tom of Finland cops\, and strip clubs galore.  \n\n\n\nChanneling the cinematic stylings of French New Wave\, cross-pollinated with the rebellious vibe of 90s-era Gregg Araki\, Fucktoys is rude\, crude\, unhinged\, girly-pop middle finger to filmic convention. It’s a surrealist and satirical odyssey with a cast to match that includes 13 Reasons Why’s Brandon Flynn\, The Comeback’s Damian Young\, and a knockout performance by Heated Rivarly’s François Arnaud. Sriram’s Fucktoys took home a Special Jury Award at both SXSW and Fantasia\, a Grand Jury Award at NewFest\, and earned the writer-director a 2026 Film Independent Spirit Award Nomination. \n\n\n\nWHAT THE CRITICS ARE SAYING…\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Rioutously raunchy” \n\n\n\n\n“[R]iotously raunchy\, wildly entertaining and sublimely surreal… this feels like the lovechild of John Waters and early period Almodovar.” \n\n\n\n★ ★ ★ ★ ★  \n\n\n\n\n\nNerdly \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“A bold new filmmaker” \n\n\n\n\n“An offbeat\, silly and very original debut it signposts Sriram as a bold new filmmaker.” \n\n\n\n★ ★ ★ ★  \n\n\n\n\n\nFilmhounds \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Unforgettable” \n\n\n\n\n“Exceptionally confident\, well thought out\, and unafraid to be weird… Fucktoys really is unforgettable.  \n\n\n\n\n\n★ ★ ★ ★  \n\n\n\nTHN \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArkadin does not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films\, as sensitivities vary from person to person.

SUMMARY:New Buffy-inspired Trans Erotic Horror THE SERPENT'S SKIN (2025) -- Friday Night WTF!
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFriday Night WTF screenings are cheap\, weird\, and out of control! Cult trashterpieces\, so-bad-they’re-good crapfests\, movies that make you ask “What the hell am I watching?!” — we’ve got ’em all on Friday night. \n\n\n\nJudging by THE SERPENT’S SKIN\, you would never guess director Alice Maio Mackay is only 20. The wunderkind filmmaker from Australia returns with her sixth feature—maybe you caught T Blockers at Hysteria Fest 2024?—and this one may be her best yet! Inspired by the WB-led golden age of fantasy TV\, Mackay’s atmospheric and erotic new movie pays vivid homage to Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Charmed by way of a witchy girl-on-girl love story. Alexandra McVicker stars as Anna\, a young trans woman with supernatural powers. Soon after leaving home to live with her sister\, Anna meets a seductive tattoo artist (Avalon Fast) who shares her cursed gift. Together they plot\, fuck\, and unleash their inner demons to the world. Think The Craft with more queer kissing and a visual style that finds the exact midpoint between Buffy and Mandy — thanks\, in part\, to The People’s Joker auteur Vera Drew\, who served as editor on the film. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWHAT THE CRITICS ARE SAYING…\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Groundbreaking” \n\n\n\n\nAlice Maio Mackay’s film is a groundbreaking trans romantic horror film with a unique vision\, cementing her status as one of cinema’s brightest stars.10/10 \n\n\n\n\n\nScreen Rant \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Spellbinding” \n\n\n\n\nThe vibe is so\, so right.

SUMMARY:Charli XCX stars in ERUPCJA (2025) w/ Charli XCX pre-show
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“[F]eels like such a natural extension of Charli’s musical work. It’s a drug-and-dance-music-fueled party girl’s lament drug-and-dance-music-fueled party girl’s lament” – Slant Magazine \n\n\n\nAmerican filmmaker Pete Ohs (cinematographer on Arkadin favorite OBEX) observes the combustible chemistry between a Polish florist and a British tourist in this charming postcard of sapphic synchronicity\, shot in secret during the height of 2024’s Brat Summer. Charli stars as Bethany\, an English girl who’s been brought back to her old Warsaw stomping grounds by her doting boyfriend\, Claude (Jeremy O. Harris). Claude plans to pop the question\, but Bethany is more interested in rekindling her (literally) volcanic relationship with old friend/kinda-old flame Jel (Lena Góra)\, throwing everyone’s life into deep uncertainty. A sensitive and assured comedy with a loose\, semi-improvised vibe\, ERUPCJA reveals Charli to be a truly magnetic screen presence. If that whole music thing doesn’t work out\, she’s got a bright future ahead of her in pictures. \n\n\n\nCome out early for a Charli XCX pre-show\, starting at 4:30 pm. \n\n\n\nERUPCJA is playing twice\, once on May 22 at 7 pm (with 6 pm pre-show) and again on May 23 at 5 pm (with 4:30 pm pre-show).

SUMMARY:Charli XCX stars in ERUPCJA (2025) w/ Charli XCX pre-show
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“[F]eels like such a natural extension of Charli’s musical work. It’s a drug-and-dance-music-fueled party girl’s lament drug-and-dance-music-fueled party girl’s lament” – Slant Magazine \n\n\n\nAmerican filmmaker Pete Ohs (cinematographer on Arkadin favorite OBEX) observes the combustible chemistry between a Polish florist and a British tourist in this charming postcard of sapphic synchronicity\, shot in secret during the height of 2024’s Brat Summer. Charli stars as Bethany\, an English girl who’s been brought back to her old Warsaw stomping grounds by her doting boyfriend\, Claude (Jeremy O. Harris). Claude plans to pop the question\, but Bethany is more interested in rekindling her (literally) volcanic relationship with old friend/kinda-old flame Jel (Lena Góra)\, throwing everyone’s life into deep uncertainty. A sensitive and assured comedy with a loose\, semi-improvised vibe\, ERUPCJA reveals Charli to be a truly magnetic screen presence. If that whole music thing doesn’t work out\, she’s got a bright future ahead of her in pictures. \n\n\n\nCome out early for a Charli XCX pre-show\, starting at 6 pm. \n\n\n\nERUPCJA is playing twice\, once on May 22 at 7 pm (with 6 pm pre-show) and again on May 23 at 5 pm (with 4:30 pm pre-show).

SUMMARY:DIVINE HAMMER (2025) -- new release w/ short film TAPE FACE!
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“I would love if queer/trans cinema headed in the direction that DIVINE HAMMER proposes… It is uninterested in the accepted language and form of how a queer movie should look or behave.” – Willow Maclay \n\n\n\nTwo maladapted young women\, both part of the same internet gore enthusiast community\, formulate a plan to meet in person with the intent that one will kill the other\, film the killing\, and then sell the cameras that “watched” to unsuspecting customers online in the hopes of spurring on a “new era of death.” Inspired in equal parts by mumblecore\, shot-on-video horror\, and a deep unease formed by the internet’s mass syndication of violence\, Divine Hammer is the debut feature by the M. Sisters\, the multimedia duo of Hazel and Mae M. \n\n\n\nPLUS! Stick around after the feature for a very special screening of a new short by Missouri-based filmmaker Jesse Slade. TAPE FACE is a 20-minute shot-on-video mind melter about a record store owner who buys a box of used things and finds way more than what he was bargaining for. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArkadin does not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films\, as sensitivities vary from person to person.

SUMMARY:TOUCH ME (2026) -- “The tentacled erotic horror comedy you didn't know you needed”
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“The tentacled erotic horror comedy you didn’t know you needed…part absurdist\, gross-out romp\, part erotic thriller\, and part lo-fi sci-fi… It’s rare that something this confidently unique finds its way out into the world\, but TOUCH ME is destined to find a dedicated fan base who love eroticism and goo.” – ScreenAnarchy \n\n\n\nTwo codependent best friends become addicted to the heroin-like touch of an alien narcissist who may or may not be trying to take over the world in Addison Heimann’s weird\, wild\, horny\, hideous\, goop-slathered slab of midnight-movie madness\, TOUCH ME. Starring Olivia Taylor Dudley as rudderless single gal Joey and Jordan Gavaris as her lazy stoner roommate Craig\, the film finds the duo taking refuge from their shit-stenched apartment in the sprawling compound of Joey’s ex\, Brian (Lou Taylor Pucci)\, who just so happens to be an alien whose physical touch leaves humans in a heroin-like state of liberating ecstasy that drains all worry from their bodies. Filled to the brim with offbeat comedy\, surreal eroticism\, gloopy practical-effects horror\, and an atmosphere of woozy cosmic dread\, TOUCH ME is “31 flavors of weird” (The Pitch). \n\n\n\n\n\nWHAT THE CRITICS ARE SAYING…\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Do you like Gregg Araki? Cthulhu? Hentai? Then this film is one-stop shopping. It’s a genre-spanning freak buffet about\, among other things\, unhealthy attachment styles\, friendship\, trauma recovery\, unhealthy coping mechanisms and…um…tentacle sex.” – The Pitch \n\n\n\n“This fun\, quirky film uses its absurdity to explore its more serious subjects without distraction. Amidst the laughter and the tentacle-driven moments onscreen is something heartfelt and a little broken\, making this a surprisingly deep experience.” – ButWhyTho \n\n\n\n\n\n“An ambitious\, sexually charged horror satire…Touch Me is the kind of film you kind of question if you should be watching but can’t look away once it locks you in.” – That Hashtag Show“For those who tune in to the freaky\, goofy\, and sincere frequencies there’s a specific genius running through the work that’s nigh on irresistible.” – AWFJ \n\n\n\n“Austin Powers 2 on acid” – Albert Birney\, director of OBEX \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArkadin does not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films\, as sensitivities vary from person to person.

SUMMARY:The Whitest Kids U'Know's MARS (2026) -- SECOND SCREENING ADDED!
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSECOND SCREENING ADDED DUE TO POPULAR DEMAND! \n\n\n\n“MARS displays the kind of comedy tradition The Whitest Kids U’Know are part of: smart people making the most stupid and surreal jokes possible…utterly gleeful about death\, mutilation\, and gore while scoring deliberately cheap satirical points… After all\, who doesn’t want to see a tech billionaire’s head explode?” – Bleeding Cool \n\n\n\nMARS is the animated feature film from cult comedy troupe The Whitest Kids U’ Know. The film tells the story of Kyle\, an average guy in his 30s who is about to marry his nagging girlfriend and take over a dental practice he hates. Desperate for a way out\, he enters a contest hosted by eccentric billionaire Elron Branson to be one of four “average people” to visit Mars. Unfortunately\, he wins! Leaving his fiancée at the altar\, Kyle joins four others to be among the first human beings to have an adventure that is absolutely nothing like he could have expected. \n\n\n\nInitially conceived by the group in 2012\, MARS began production during the pandemic after a successful crowdfunding campaign that raised $600\,000. The film premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2024 and represents the troupe’s final work together as a group. MARS holds special significance as the final performance of Trevor Moore\, WKUK’s beloved co-founder who passed away in 2021. Fortunately\, Moore’s dialogue was recorded before his passing\, and the surviving members worked tirelessly to complete the film as a tribute to his legacy and as a gift to WKUK fans. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTheater Policies\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAll seats are first-come\, first-served.\n\n\n\nThe theater opens 30 minutes prior to showtime\, except for “Happy Hour” events and pre-shows when the theater opens at the listed start time.\n\n\n\nWhen a screening is sold out\, we open a waitlist 30 minutes before showtime.

SUMMARY:Feminist Classic FEMALE PERVERSIONS (1996) -- new 4K restoration!
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“One of the most provocative films I’ve seen about the complications of being female in the modern world” – Roger Ebert \n\n\n\nIn her US film debut\, Academy Award winner Tilda Swinton stars as Eve Stephens\, a bi-sexual lawyer on the edge of professional breakthrough\, personal breakdown\, and sexual awakening in this erotic psychological drama. Inspired by Louise Kaplan’s psychoanalytic study Female Perversions: The Temptations of Emma Bovary\, Susan Streitman’s film is an inspired amalgamation of erotic drama and psychological thriller in which Eve tries (and often fails) to juggle professional demands\, personal desires\, and her strained relationship with her kleptomaniac sister (Amy Madigan\, nominated for an Academy Award this year for her powerhouse performance in Weapons). Shocking when it was first released in 1996 and now rightfully considered feminist classic as it celebrates its 30th anniversary\, FEMALE PERVERSIONS has presented in a sumptuous new 4K restoration. \n\n\n\nThis film is screening in Arkadin’s April 2026 Sunday Series on WOMEN DIRECTORS\, featuring a selection of unusual\, rarely screened works from female filmmakers. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArkadin does not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films\, as sensitivities vary from person to person.

SUMMARY:NUMBSKULL REVOLUTION (2026) -- the new film from punk rock madman Jon Moritsugu
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA PUNK ROCK BLADE RUNNER FOR ARTISTS FROM LEGENDARY PROVOCATEUR JON MORITSUGU! \n\n\n\nWith raucous\, three-chord cinematic bangers such as Terminal USA (1993) and Mod Fuck Explosion (1994)—both of which played at Arkadin in 2023—the Godfather of Punk Cinema\, filmmaker\, punk rocker\, Asiansploitation progenitor\, and all-around madman Jon Moritsugu defined the trashy\, rough-hewn DIY aesthetic of 1990s underground filmmaking. Arkadin is thrilled to welcome Moritsugu’s work back with the area premiere of his new film\, NUMBSKULL REVOLUTION! Moritsugu’s first feature in over a decade\, NUMBSKULL was created with longtime collaborator and ex-wife\, Amy Davis\, who co-stars as Cucumber Montgomery\, alongside James Duval as Futurcide\, a pair of rival conceptual artists battling for fame and funding in the near-future dystopia of Shitville\, pop. 999.8 billion. As one ascends the heights of neoliberal capitalist success\, the other seeks inspiration and solace in the euphoric waves of a new cyber-drug called Skullfuck. Embracing chaotic digital artificiality in a style reminiscent of Vera Drew’s The People’s Joker\, NUMBSKULL combine ingenious production design and savvy location shooting to evoke the urban sprawl and rural industrial collapse against which Mortisugu frames this scathing satire of art world pretension. (adapted from UCLA note written by Senior Public Programmer Paul Malcolm) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArkadin does not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films\, as sensitivities vary from person to person.

SUMMARY:Weird\, wild erotic thriller ANYTHING THAT MOVES (2025) + live Q&A w/ director Alex Phillips
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Weird…very funny…sex positive…John Waters would be proud.” – In Review Online \n\n\n\nAn avant-gutter psychedelic dream from STL-raised filmmaker Alex Phillips\, the madman behind All Jacked Up and Full of Worms\, ANYTHING THAT MOVES is an erotically charged\, blood-soaked thriller set in the sticky corridors of Chicago. Shot on fleshy Super 16mm\, director Alex Phillips’ rust belt giallo continues on his trajectory of taboo-shattering horror cinema with this tense\, funny\, and absolutely twisted murder mystery. The film follows nubile sex worker Liam who bikes with his girlfriend—his partner in both business and pleasure—through the city delivering snacks and divine satisfaction to his love-hungry clients. Meanwhile\, a serial killer’s gory murders are piling up and all the evidence seems to point back to the lover’s bed… Produced in collaboration with cult home video outfit Vinegar Syndrome\, the film features stand-out supporting performances from erotic film legends Ginger Lynn and Nina Hartley. With an original instrumental score by Chicago-based artists Cue Shop calling to mind the lush orchestrations of Bruno Nicolai and lurid visuals by acclaimed cinematographer Hunter Zimny\, ANYTHING THAT MOVES provides an immersive throwback to 70s exploitation flicks. \n\n\n\nPLUS after the film we’ll have an in-person Q&A with St. Louis-raised director Alex Phillips! \n\n\n\n“One of the sexiest movies of 2025! And now for something completely insane… It’s never boring and occasionally beautiful\, like during one of those incestuous three-ways that takes place at a club under an endlessly changing array of rainbow lights.” – Esquire \n\n\n\n“Chaotic\, raunchy\, and weirdly sweet for its bursts of violence. Sure\, there’s a serial killer on the loose\, but there’s also a purity of heart in Liam’s embrace of sexual freedom\, and the solidarity of those who join him on their kink-friendly journeys.” – RogerEbert.com \n\n\n\n“★★★★½  Alex Phillips’ follow-up to the unforgettable All Jacked Up And Full Of Worms is a love letter to [vintage pornography] as much as it is a spoof.” – Eye on Film \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArkadin does not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films\, as sensitivities vary from person to person.

SUMMARY:THE RED SPECTACLES (1987) -- New 4K Restoration w/ dystopian shorts pre-show
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“A noir nightmare that’s halfway between detective story and farce\, live-action and human cartoon\, serious and scatological\, and Seijun Suzuki and Jean-Luc Godard.” – Screen Slate \n\n\n\nBefore creating mind-bending anime classics Ghost in the Shell\, Angel’s Egg\, and Patlabor\, visionary filmmaker Mamoru Oshii made this philosophical live-action blend of film noir\, political allegory\, and existential mystery. THE RED SPECTACLES is a visually striking black comedy that meditates on justice\, memory\, and the cost of loyalty that also inspired Oshii’s own Stray Dog: Kerberos Panzer Cops and its legendary animated prequel Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade. \n\n\n\nIn a dystopian near-future Japan\, law and order is enforced by a brutal paramilitary police unit known as the Kerberos Panzer Cops\, aka ‘Watchdogs of Hell’\, equipped with heavy weaponry and reinforced body armor called “Protect Gear.” However\, when their extreme methods spark public outcry\, the government moves to dismantle the unit. Disobeying orders to disband\, a trio of officers stage a rebellion—but only one\, Koichi Todome Shigeru Chiba)\, escapes. Three years later\, Koichi returns to Tokyo after living in exile\, carrying a mysterious suitcase. He seeks to reunite with his former comrades and uncover the truth behind the crackdown\, but he soon finds himself in a surreal and dreamlike city—a shadow of its former self\, filled with strange characters\, elusive memories\, and Kafkaesque absurdity. As reality begins to unravel\, Koichi descends deeper into paranoia\, unable to tell friend from foe\, truth from illusion. \n\n\n\nThe film will be preceded by a pre-show of dystopian short films at 6:30 pm. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArkadin does not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films\, as sensitivities vary from person to person.

SUMMARY:OBEX (2024) -- a new sci-fi trip that's "Eraserhead Meets Zelda" w/ retro graphics animation pre-show
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Eraserhead meets The Legend of Zelda in a black-and-white\, cicada-plagued sci-fi trip.” – IndieWire \n\n\n\nIn pre-internet 1987\, Conor and his dog Sandy live a life of seclusion\, lost in the slow-rendering graphics of early Macs and televisions aglow with late night horror movie marathons. But when he begins playing OBEX\, a new and mysterious\, state-of-the-art computer game\, he finds himself trapped in a low-tech\, but high-stakes analog hellscape as the line between reality and game blurs. Audacious and uncanny\, Strawberry Mansion director Albert Birney’s OBEX is a delightfully skewed lo-fi fantasy.

SUMMARY:PEACHES GOES BANANAS (2024) w/ Peaches pre-show @ 6:30 pm
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“An extraordinary piece of filmmaking. Shot over 17 years\, it mingles intimate personal moments with visceral concert footage.” – Eye on Film \n\n\n\nFor 17 years\, director Marie Losier has followed the trailblazing\, provocative\, and taboo-shattering career of artist and musician Peaches. From her early life\, to her ascent towards becoming a queer feminist icon\, her story is one that has defied expectations and exemplified fearless exploration and rebellion. PEACHES GOES BANANAS is an intimate portrait of this singular artist. Capturing her thrilling live shows\, artistic process\, close relationships with her family\, and her rise to fame\, the film is a “poetic… two-decade long conversation between two artists” (The Upcoming). \n\n\n\nBefore the show\, starting at 6:30 pm\, we’ll be mixing up some of Peaches’ best and most outrageous music videos and concert clips. \n\n\n\nTᕼIᔕ ᖴIᒪᗰ Iᔕ ᔕᑕᖇEEᑎIᑎG ᗩᔕ ᑭᗩᖇT Oᖴ ᗩᖇKᗩᗪIᑎ’ᔕ ᗯEIᖇᗪ ᑕᗩᑎᗩᗪᗩ ᔕEᖇIEᔕ\, ᖴEᗩTᑌᖇIᑎG OᖴᖴᗷEᗩT\, ᗰᗩᑭᒪE-ᗪᖇEᑎᑕᕼEᗪ ᗪEᒪIGᕼTᔕ ᖴᖇOᗰ TᕼE GᖇEᗩT ᗯᕼITE ᑎOᖇTᕼ. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArkadin does not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films\, as sensitivities vary from person to person.

SUMMARY:Absurd\, Heartfelt Animated Doc ENDLESS COOKIE (2025) -- new release!
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“The film is as heartfelt as it is absurd and the conversations and stories are so riveting I found myself almost in trance as I watched this doc. I can’t wait to watch it again.” – Marya E. Gates \n\n\n\nWinner of the Contrechamp Grand Prix at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival\, Seth and Peter Scriver’s freewheeling animated documentary follows Peter—an artist and storyteller from the Shamattawa First Nation—through a series of shaggy dog tales about growing up with his white half‑brother Seth in 1980s Toronto\, and later raising his own children in the remote north. There are chicken heists\, Sasquatch sightings\, trapping mishaps\, and children’s chaotic adventures—woven together with accounts of police profiling\, land grabs\, and the haunting legacy of residential schools. Peter’s storytelling is mirrored in the film’s loose\, surreal cartooning\, where wry humor sharpens into satire to evoke the long shadow of life under Canada’s First Nations policies. At once personal and political\, comedic and fraught\, the film offers a disarmingly profound portrait of race\, identity\, and the complex bonds of family.  \n\n\n\nPlus\, a pre-show of classic Canadian animation precedes the film at 6:30 pm. \n\n\n\n\nIt is a picture infused with love — both for family\, and for the creative act (the film took nearly a decade to complete). It is also a generous invitation into the heart of a sprawling extended family. Wendy Ide\, Screen International \n\n\n\n\nEndless Cookie may be the strangest\, most seemingly nonsensical documentary in some time. But there’s one truth to a whackadoodle odyssey like this one: you will definitely have a story to tell afterwards.Pat Mullen\, POV magazine \n\n\n\n\nWhat presents itself outwardly as a freewheeling\, surreally animated selection of anecdotes\, stories\, and observations is able to speak eloquently about the indigenous experience\, both in big Canadian cities and on rural reservations.Andrew Parker\, The Gate \n\n\n\n\n\n\nTᕼIᔕ ᖴIᒪᗰ Iᔕ ᔕᑕᖇEEᑎIᑎG ᗩᔕ ᑭᗩᖇT Oᖴ ᗩᖇKᗩᗪIᑎ’ᔕ ᗯEIᖇᗪ ᑕᗩᑎᗩᗪᗩ ᔕEᖇIEᔕ\, ᖴEᗩTᑌᖇIᑎG OᖴᖴᗷEᗩT\, ᗰᗩᑭᒪE-ᗪᖇEᑎᑕᕼEᗪ ᗪEᒪIGᕼTᔕ ᖴᖇOᗰ TᕼE GᖇEᗩT ᗯᕼITE ᑎOᖇTᕼ. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTheater Policies\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAll seats are first-come\, first-served.\n\n\n\nThe theater opens 30 minutes prior to showtime\, except for “Happy Hour” events and pre-shows when the theater opens at the listed start time.\n\n\n\nWhen a screening is sold out\, we open a waitlist 30 minutes before showtime.

SUMMARY:WTO/99 (2025) -- new release!
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Some documentaries just feel like a sock in the jaw. Ian Bell’s fiery and explosive archival picture WTO/99 is that kind of film. Built on local news footage\, MiniDV videocassettes\, CCTV images\, and more\, Bell’s charged film… takes viewers back to 1999\, a moment when class united more than politics divided.” – Robert Daniels\, RogerEbert.com \n\n\n\nIn late 1999\, members of the emerging World Trade Organization convened in Seattle\, Washington\, for what was supposed to be a series of routine negotiations. Instead\, they were met with one of the largest U.S. protests of global powers in the 20th century. Protesters from across the aisle representing everything from labor rights to environmental protections filled the streets in droves\, with signs and video cameras in tow. Crafted from a stunning array of newscaster broadcasts and outtakes\, citizen journalist tapes\, home videos\, and press conferences\, WTO/99 is an entirely archival film chronicling this consequential four-day event. In a galvanizing\, layered\, and occasionally cheeky manner\, a direct line unfolds between the WTO protests and the issues of corporate control and environmental degradation we still reckon with 25 years later. \n\n\n\nWTO/99 is playing twice at Arkadin\, once on Dec. 5 at 7 pm and again on Dec. 6 at 4:30 pm. Please make sure to select the correct showtime on checkout. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTheater Policies\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAll seats are first-come\, first-served.\n\n\n\nThe theater opens 30 minutes prior to showtime\, except for “Happy Hour” events and pre-shows when the theater opens at the listed start time.\n\n\n\nWhen a screening is sold out\, we open a waitlist 30 minutes before showtime. You must physically come to the lobby to get your name on the waitlist. Seats are released as they become available. All remaining seats are released at showtime.\n\n\n\nAll ages are welcome at Arkadin except for Drinkolas Cage events\, which are restricted to 21+. We follow the MPAA rating guidelines for all other films.\n\n\n\nTickets can be purchased using the BUY TICKETS link above. Upon ordering\, you will receive a confirmation email from Square.
