SUMMARY:Karel Zeman's eye-popping INVENTION FOR DESTRUCTION (1958) w/ Georges Méliès' "The Impossible Voyage"
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“The spectacular blend of animation\, artful sets\, mattes and live action… makes this whimsical and funny fairy-tale so enjoyable.” – Scifist \n\n\n\nBrilliant Czech animator Karel Zeman’s eye-popping spectacle is like a Victorian illustration come to life. Inspired by the romantic fantasy novels Jules Verne\, Invention for Destruction faithfully recreates the line engraving style of the pictures in the original editions of Verne’s work. Combining live actors with drawn animation\, cutouts\, matte paintings\, miniatures\, stop-motion\, and meticulously detailed horizontal line filters\, Zeman produced one of the most astoundingly original works in cinema. Original released in the US as The Fabulous World of Jules Verne\, Invention for Destruction not only went on to become the most successful Czech film in history\, it also basically invented steampunk. \n\n\n\nBut that’s not all! We’ve got some more Verne-inspired fantasia for you in the form of silent maestro Georges Méliès’ brilliant 1904 short The Impossible Voyage\, playing immediately before the feature. Based on Verne’s 1882 play Journey Through the Impossible\, this short is a fantastic showcase for Méliès’ wildly imaginative visual bravado. \n\n\n\nOTHER WORLDS brings you to strange new realms through science fiction and fantasy. Featuring classics\, hidden gems\, and cult favorites\, this series offers a mind-bending retreat from our mundane reality. \n\n\n\n\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:Homer's Odyssey as you've never seen it before... NOSTOS: THE RETURN (1989) 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“A poetry of lived quotidian experience that gradually becomes an epic… [Nostos] is simply beautiful. A masterpiece.” – L’Unità \n\n\n\nWhile Christopher Nolan has given us the bombastic big-budget version of The Odyssey\, Italian filmmaker Franco Piavoli’s Nostos: The Return sits at the opposite end of the cinematic spectrum\, a gorgeous\, lyrical meditation on humankind’s relationship to nature and its thirst for exploration that boils Homer’s epic down to a raw\, timeless essence. Filmed in the Mediterranean and told in an imaginary proto-language drawn from Ancient Greek\, Latin\, and Sanskrit\, Nostos transports the viewer back to the dawn of civilization\, reimagining Odysseus’s journey not as an action-adventure yarn but as a journey of the soul. Told with images of haunting power in a style Piavoli described as “symphonic” rather than the “theatrical” mode favored by conventional narrative cinema\, Nostos is\, in its transcendent beauty and cosmic scope\, just as epic as Nolan’s blockbuster version. Rarely screened in the U.S.\, this largely unknown masterpiece of world cinema is crying out for discovery. \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. 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.

SUMMARY:$3 MONDAY MYSTERY MOVIE: The Tense\, Fascinating\, Totally Unprecedented Made-for-TV Thriller that Shocked a Nation
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOn the last Monday of every month\, Arkadin chooses an underseen deep cut to inflict upon an unwitting audience. Though the genre and tone may change\, the price always remains the same: three measly bucks. You can’t afford not to get yourself a ticket!  \n\n\n\nThis month’s mystery movie is an edge-of-your-seat thriller where the seat was originally intended to be your living room couch. A highly original ticking-clock thriller that uses its made-for-TV origins to magnificent effect\, this controversial and fascinating time capsule shocked\, confused\, and petrified audiences when it first aired\, and its subject matter has only become more relevant. Simultaneously of its time and way ahead of it\, this prescient nail-biter will leave you with plenty of food for thought.  \n\n\n\nBonus hint: It fits squarely into our August 2026 theme\, I’M ON A BOAT! \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:STREET FIGHTER II: THE ANIMATED MOVIE (1994) w/ Street Fighter Video Game Contest presented by Strange Brew
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis film is presented by St. Louis’s long-running cult film series Strange Brew — winner of the 2025 A-List Award for Best Movie Night in St. Louis. Strange Brew programmer Jon Scorfina will provide an introduction. \n\n\n\nStreet Fighter II: The Animated Movie (1994) is a faithful anime adaptation of the very loose story from the hugely popular fighting arcade game Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers produced by Capcom. Chinese Interpol agent Chun-Li seeks the help of American Air Force Captain Guile to infiltrate the criminal organization Shadowlaw\, run by leader M. Bison and his brutal bodyguards Balrog\, Vega and Sagat. Meanwhile\, Japanese martial artist Ryu travels the world seeking a challenger worthy of competition\, since his American training partner Ken Masters has left to start a life with his girlfriend\, Eliza. Soon M. Bison discovers the masterful skills of Ryu and Ken from observing a series of street fights and aims to force the champions to join his criminal syndicate through hypnosis. \n\n\n\nStreet Fighter II: The Animated Movie originally had a limited theatrical release in August of 1994 and doubled as promotion for Street Fighter (1994)\, the live-action film also based on the video game starring Jean-Claude Van Damme that was released in December of that year. Unlike the Hollywood film that was almost immediately panned as one of the worst video game movies ever made\, the Japanese anime film has garnered a devoted following for its accuracy to the source material and its fast-paced animated battles with the colorful cast of fighters\, including Indian yoga master Dhalsim\, Russian wrestler Zangief\, Bruce Lee-knockoff Fei Long\, as well Dee Jay\, T. Hawk Cammy and the Brazilian monster Blanka. The localized English version of the film also features a hard rocking soundtrack of mid ’90s acts like KMFDM\, Alice in Chains\, Silverchair and Korn.       \n\n\n\nStreet Fighter II: The Animated Movie now acts as the perfect primer for the upcoming big-budget Hollywood remake Street Fighter (2026) set to hit theaters on October 16\, 2026.  \n\n\n\nA Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers Video Game Contest will start at 6:30 pm. \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:PAPERHOUSE (1988) presented by Dark Dream Cinema
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDark Dream Cinema is a monthly film series devoted to the creeping undercurrents of the arthouse scene\, hosted by Michael Morlaine. \n\n\n\n“The story is sufficiently creepy\, never crossing the line into pure horror\, but always treading the darker areas of dream fantasy.” Craig Clarke\, A Green Man Review \n\n\n\nBernard Rose preceded the breakout success of Candyman with this surreal exploration of childhood trauma. Following an injury incurred while playing hooky from school\, young Anna finds herself bedridden\, with nothing to do but draw. So draw she does\, beginning with a landscape\, and then a house\, and then a boy—and soon she finds that her drawings are influencing her dreams\, and creating a world that exists on the other side of the veil. And while she delights in exploring her dream world\, it becomes clear that something wicked resides there as well. \n\n\n\nAn unsettling depiction of childhood fantasy\, Paperhouse occupies a singular niche within ‘80s horror\, and informed such later classics as Pan’s Labyrinth and Stranger Things. With imagery at once startling\, unique\, and deeply imaginative\, it serves as a rumination upon our capacity for strength and courage in the face of encroaching darkness. \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.

SUMMARY:LAUREL & HARDY: Four Classic Shorts!
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“They were the funniest comedy team in the world.” – Lou Costello \n\n\n\nOne of the greatest comedy teams ever to grace the silver screen\, Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy starred together in over 100 shorts and features. Laurel was the childlike\, bewildered innocent\, and Hardy\, the pompous\, self‑regarding ass\, perpetually irritated by his cohort. Together\, they are perfectly balanced comedic foils whose mutual dimwittedness always leads to hilariously escalating misunderstandings\, mishaps\, and impeccable comedic chaos. We pay tribute to the legendary duo with a program of four of their funniest shorts! \n\n\n\nBIG BUSINESSIn this classic silent short\, Laurel & Hardy are selling Christmas trees door‑to‑door and happen to pick the worst customer imaginable\, escalating a petty argument into a glorious\, house‑destroying war. \n\n\n\nBLOTTOHardy sneaks Laurel out for a night of boozy revelry\, unaware Laurel’s wife has swapped their liquor with cold tea mixed with hot sauce and myriad spices\, leading to a night of drunken bravado powered entirely by their own stupidity. \n\n\n\nBRATSIn one of the duo’s most surreal shorts\, Laurel and Hardy play both themselves and their own mischievous\, oversized children as a quiet night turns into slapstick chaos. \n\n\n\nHOG WILDHardy’s rooftop radio antenna becomes a death trap as Laurel “helps\,” turning a simple repair job into a jaw-dropping demolition derby around (and above) the neighborhood. \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:THE CROWD (1928) presented by Silents\, Please! STL
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis film is presented by Silents\, Please! STL and will feature a special introduction from SPSTL’s Kate Stewart. \n\n\n\n“A masterpiece! Moving\, funny\, heartbreaking and ultimately hopeful.” -Alonso Duralde \n\n\n\nOne of the greatest of all silent films\, King Vidor’s masterpiece captures life in fast-paced 1920s New York City from the perspective of an “average Joe” whom the camera just happens to pick right out of the crowd. A work of thrilling proletarian melodrama\, featuring some of the most remarkable camerawork committed to celluloid\, The Crowd is a depiction of economic and domestic struggle right on the cusp of the Great Depression\, as well as a vital depiction of the exuberant stampede of the city itself—its joys\, its disappointments\, its dreams and realities. \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:Overlooked coming-of-age classic OLD ENOUGH (1984) presented by Girlhood
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGirlhood is a semi-regular series hosted by Arkadin co-owner Sarah Baraba that spotlights stories of sisterhood on the silver screen. \n\n\n\n“There is authenticity everywhere in this film\, from the way people speak to the cruelty that sometimes occurs between best friends.” – The Herald \n\n\n\nIn the 1980s there certainly was no dearth of preteen coming-of-age-cinema\, but few that portray the purity\, terror and excitement of that specific time of growing up with the authenticity of the tragically overlooked Old Enough. Every day on her way to the summer camp bus\, 11-year-old Lonnie Sloan (Sarah Boyd) passes a group of neighborhood kids engaged in some mischief that she\, with her upper-class upbringing\, can scarcely fathom. On a morning like any other she encounters the streetwise Karen (Rainbow Harvest)\, who talks sheltered Lonnie into playing hooky and takes her out of her brownstone bubble and into a blue collar world full of shoplifting and Catholicism. The girls couldn’t come from more different backgrounds\, but the exoticism of the other’s life makes their newfound friendship instantly magnetic. Following the girls through a sliver of their summer\, writer-director Marisa Silver captures that feeling of stepping outside of your nest for the first time.  \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:CANIBA (2017) 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“I had\, so to speak\, seen it all. And then I saw Caniba.” – John Semley\, The Globe & Mail \n\n\n\nA hugely controversial documentary from the pioneering filmmakers behind the also-incredible Leviathan\, Caniba just might be the scariest movie ever made. It’s certainly one of the most intimate and unrelenting explorations of human depravity ever captured onscreen. Filmed primarily in intense close-ups that practically burrow into its subject’s flesh\, Caniba is a portrait of the notorious criminal Issei Sagawa\, who\, as a 32-year-old student at the Sorbonne in Paris\, murdered his Dutch classmate\, Renée Hartevelt\, and began eating her body. Sagawa was convicted of his crimes in France\, but through some legal loopholes\, he soon was allowed to return back to his home country of Japan where he lived for decades as a free man\, making his living by writing novels\, drawing manga\, and appearing in innumerable documentaries and sexploitation films in which he reenacted his crime.  \n\n\n\nDirectors Véréna Paravel and Lucien Castaing-Taylor explore the outer limits of human behavior through Sagawa’s mysterious relationship with his brother. In a twist reminiscent of Terry Zwigoff’s Crumb\, it turns out Sagawa may not be the most disturbed person in his own family. Disturbing\, darkly funny\, and completely unforgettable\, Caniba provides an uncomfortable intimacy with a man most would regard as a monster\, one who has transgressed the fundamental taboo.

SUMMARY:Mystery/sci-fi mind bender DEAD MOUNTAINEER'S HOTEL (1979)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“A surreal genre mash-up that opens like an Agatha Christie-style locked-room mystery before shifting gears during its last act to an otherworldly bit of sci-fi strangeness.“ – Slant Magazine \n\n\n\nA dazzling\, paranoid mixture of locked-room mystery\, 1970s Euro giallo\, classic noir whodunit\, and (unbelievably) alien sci-fi\, Dead Mountaineer’s Hotel is a mountainside mind bender with immaculate late-night Eastern Bloc vibes. Based on a novel by famed Soviet authors Arkady and Boris Strugatsky (whose novel Roadside Picnic provided the basis for Andrei Tarkovsky’s Stalker)\, the hall-of-mirrors plot follows police inspector Glebsky as he’s trapped by avalanche in the eponymous ski lodge with a rogues’ gallery of weird suspects:  tubercular gangster Hinckus\, creepy hotel owner Snewahr\, a wall-climbing physicist\, a louche beauty out of a Bryan Ferry song – oh – and the Dead Mountaineer’s faithful St. Bernard.  The interior of the hotel is straight out of a Dario Argento thriller: all chrome-and-marble with Space Age modern designs\, drenched in champagne and feather boas.  Featuring a stellar electronica / prog score by composer Sven Grünberg\, the film combines an eerie The Shining-like mountain locale with speculative sci-fi straight out of Chariots of the Gods.    \n\n\n\nNewly restored in 4K by Deaf Crocodile in collaboration with the Estonian Film Institute and Film Archive.  In Estonian with English subtitles. \n\n\n\nOTHER WORLDS brings you to strange new realms through science fiction and fantasy. Featuring classics\, hidden gems\, and cult favorites\, this series offers a mind-bending retreat from our mundane reality. \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:$3 MONDAY MYSTERY MOVIE: Totally Ridiculous Eco-Horror Madness
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOn the last Monday of every month\, Arkadin chooses an underseen deep cut to inflict upon an unwitting audience. Though the genre and tone may change\, the price always remains the same: three measly bucks. You can’t afford not to get yourself a ticket!  \n\n\n\nThis month\, Arkadin is serving up a thick slice of deep-cut eco-horror strangeness. A comically corny idea directed with an over-the-top muscularity\, this underseen gem mixes up elements of folk horror\, domestic thriller\, and madcap Evil Dead-style effects to create a singularly unclassifiable cinematic experience. Featuring a killer creature so bizarre you’ll wish it had spawned a franchise\, this chaotic\, fog-drenched nightmare is dying to be experienced with a crowd. \n\n\n\nThis selection was originally meant to screen in April but was canceled due to tornados. We’re excited to finally share it with you! \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.
