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. 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\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. Tickets may also be purchased on the day of the show at the concession counter.\n\n\n\nIf you’ve purchased advance tickets\, when you arrive\, please give your name at the concession counter to check in. \n\n\n\nTickets are returnable by sending a request through the contact form located on our About Us page prior to showtime.\n\n\n\nWhen an event is sold out\, we reserve the right to release open seats to customers on the waitlist. If you have a pre-purchased ticket and arrive late and there is no seat for you\, your ticket will be refunded.\n\n\n\nAll screenings are held in our indoor theater unless indicated otherwise in the event description above.\n\n\n\nPlease respect your fellow movie-goers by remaining quiet and refraining from using your cell phone throughout the screening.

SUMMARY:Agnès Varda's ONE SINGS\, THE OTHER DOESN'T (1977) 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“The film\, a sort-of musical about the decade-spanning friendship between two women… [is] a gift of hope for future generations of women.” – Reverse Shot \n\n\n\nIn the early 1960s in Paris\, two young women become friends. Pomme is an aspiring singer. Suzanne is a pregnant country girl unable to support a third child. Pomme lends Suzanne the money for an illegal abortion\, but a sudden tragedy soon separates them. Ten years later\, they reunite at a demonstration and pledge to keep in touch via postcard\, as each of their lives is irrevocably changed by the women’s liberation movement. A buoyant hymn to sisterly solidarity rooted in the hard-won victories of a generation of women\, One Sings\, the Other Doesn’t is one of Agnès Varda’s warmest and most politically trenchant films\, a feminist musical for the ages. \n\n\n\nA portion of this event’s proceeds will be donated to Missouri Abortion Fund. \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:Ken Russell's GOTHIC (1989) w/ psychedelic horror pre-show
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“[A] hallucinatory psychodrama of the creative process… [Ken] Russell’s exuberant style is perfectly suited to a libertine story which finds entirely visual means for showing the complex\, often grotesque workings of an author’s imagination. It is a reflexive orgy of future horrors.” – Projected Figures \n\n\n\nAs a storm rages outside\, Lord Byron and his guests conjure up their deepest fears by means of a séance in this wild imagining of the origins of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. Directed by cult favorite Ken Russell (The Devils\, The Lair of the White Worm) and celebrating its 40th anniversary\, GOTHIC plunges us into an orgy of surrealistic horror. Starring Natasha Richardson as Mary Shelley (née Godwin)\, the late Julian Sands as the legendary poet Percy Bysshe Shelley\, and Timothy Spall as the reclusive Lord Byron\, GOTHIC is an explosive horror-drama in which the devilish\, omnisexual Byron leads his crew of aesthetes in a laudanum-assisted night of playful games and erotically charged rituals. The poets and artists are “beckoning the spark of creation” for a storytelling contest in a castle full of gothic props – cobwebs\, skulls\, suits of armor\, automata\, mirrors\, a mask\, a goat and a snake. Traumas are triggered\, nightmares come to life\, and visions of future doom dance in the night as a tripping\, terrified Mary will be galvanized into merging her past grief and present panic into one of the greatest horror stories ever told. \n\n\n\nCome out early for a Psychedelic Horror pre-show starting at 6:30 pm. \n\n\n\nWhy should Jessie Buckley have all the fun? We’re celebrating brides\, monsters\, mad doctors and more this month with our FEMALE FRANKENSTEINS series\, featuring thrills\, chills\, dark laughs and twisted loves\, all culminating with our screenings of the widely-acclaimed new horror-comedy DEAD LOVER! \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:POOR THINGS (2023)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“An instant classic! Mordantly funny\, whimsical and wacky.” – IndieWire \n\n\n\nThe partnership between Emma Stone and Greek auteur Yorgos Lanthimos has been a true gift to film lovers with a taste for the offbeat and unhinged\, and perhaps no film exemplifies their ability to turn bizarre concepts into cracking entertainment better than POOR THINGS. An adaptation of Scottish writer Alasdair Gray’s landmark novel\, POOR THINGS twists the classic Frankenstein story into a tale of sexual liberation and feminist subversion. Stone plays Bella Baxter\, a young woman brought back to life by an eccentric scientist (Willem Dafoe)\, who implants her own unborn child’s brain into her body. As she grows up all over again\, Bella satiates a thirst for knowledge and experience that leads her to intellectual\, sexual\, and political escapades that span continents. Told with surreal whimsy worthy of Tim Burton\, POOR THINGS is a fever dream with an epic scope. \n\n\n\nWhy should Jessie Buckley have all the fun? We’re celebrating brides\, monsters\, mad doctors and more this month with our FEMALE FRANKENSTEINS series\, featuring thrills\, chills\, dark laughs and twisted loves\, all culminating with our screenings of the widely-acclaimed new horror-comedy DEAD LOVER! \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 SPIRIT OF BEEHIVE (1973) ᴘʀᴇꜱᴇɴᴛᴇᴅ ʙʏ ʟᴏꜱᴛ ɪɴ ᴛʜᴇ ᴀʀᴛʜᴏᴜꜱᴇ
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“Close to magic. It is one of the most beautiful and arresting films ever made in Spain\, or anywhere.” – The Guardian \n\n\n\nWidely regarded as one of world cinema’s most magnificent achievements—it’s no accident that it ranked in the top 100 in Sight & Sound‘s prestigious 2022 “greatest films” poll—Victor Erice’s THE SPIRIT OF THE BEEHIVE is a spellbinding masterpiece about the immersive power of cinema. Set in a small Castilian village in 1940\, in the wake of the devastating Spanish Civil War\, six-year-old Ana (Ana Torrent\, in what is easily the most tender film performance ever given by a young child) attends a traveling movie show of the 1931 classic Frankenstein and becomes possessed by the experience of it. blurring her understanding of art\, mortality\, and violence. Produced as Franco’s long regime was nearing its end\, THE SPIRIT OF THE BEEHIVE is a bewitching portrait of a child’s haunted inner life and one of the most visually arresting movies ever made\, a work of darkly lyrical beauty with a touch of magical-realist horror. …And it also happens to be the perfect arthouse accompaniment to Arkadin’s month-long exploration of Female Frankensteins! \n\n\n\nWhy should Jessie Buckley have all the fun? We’re celebrating brides\, monsters\, mad doctors and more this month with our FEMALE FRANKENSTEINS series\, featuring thrills\, chills\, dark laughs and twisted loves\, all culminating with our screenings of the widely-acclaimed new horror-comedy DEAD LOVER! \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: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:Jane Fonda in BARBARELLA (1968)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“CHEERFUL\, KITSCH AND CAMP… [with] a succession of truly amazing fashion creations with all the confidence of a generation that thought sex was\, above all\, fun.” – Empire \n\n\n\nSlip out of your spacesuit and into something more comfortable! It’s time to join Barbarella on a series of cosmic adventures in this lavish\, lascivious Dino De Laurentiis production based on the risqué French comic book series. Starring Jane Fonda in a star-making turn as the titular space cadet\, BARBARELLA may take place in the distant future of 40\,000 A.D. but couldn’t look more deliciously 1960s. With glorious retro-futuristic costumes and groovy\, psychedelic art design\, this James Bond-meets-Forbidden Planet space adventure pits intergalactic secret agent Barbarella against evil scientist Durand Durand (Milo O’Shea)\, who’s created a deadly weapon with the potential to cause mass devastation. With an all-star Swinging Sixties cast that includes Blowup hunk David Hemmings\, Rolling Stones muse Anita Pallenberg\, and miming maestro Marcel Marceau\, BARBARELLA truly defined an era and maintains enormous camp value as a groovalicious dispatch from the age of free love. \n\n\n\nThis screening was rescheduled from Jan. 25 due to snow.

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:Jan Švankmajer's ALICE (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“It’s experimental\, unusual\, a little mad\, and definitely not an Alice adaptation to show the kids. Unless you want to give them nightmares for weeks.” – Joe’s Horror Reviews \n\n\n\nThe dark heart of Alice in Wonderland was never more faithfully captured than by stop-motion maestro Jan Švankmajer\, who rendered its well-worn imagery into a startling new vision. By animating an array of found items—including raw meat\, taxidermy\, porcelain dolls\, and playing cards—Švankmajer crafted a Wonderland all his own\, a haunting realm of fantastic sights and disturbing juxtapositions. Hailed as a landmark of modern animation\, Alice blends the imagination of Lewis Carroll with the grotesquerie of Joel-Peter Witkin to produce an experience like no other. A truly singular work of art\, it offers a glimpse into another world\, one of joyful terrors that cavort amidst death and decay. \n\n\n\nArrive early for a preshow of spooky stop-motion from around the world\, starting at 6pm. \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\nAll ages are welcome at Arkadin except for Drinkolas Cage events\, which are restricted to 21+.

SUMMARY:MONTY PYTHON'S LIFE OF BRIAN (1979) w/ Monty Python pre-show
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“An unholy work of satirical genius…MONTY PYTHON’S LIFE OF BRIAN still stands up as an amazing achievement\, the Pythons’ masterpiece: a 90-minute sketch elevated to an entirely consistent\, hugely audacious and ambitious film.” – The Guardian \n\n\n\nThis Good Friday\, enjoy a biting satire of religious dogma that is\, at its heart\, a stirring paean to tolerance. While perhaps not quite as popular as Holy Grail\, LIFE OF BRIAN is Monty Python’s true masterpiece—an inspired\, brilliant\, send-up of the blockbuster biblical epic that raised the hackles of Christian fundamentalists the world over when it was first released but has gone on to be recognized as one of the greatest comedy films ever made. In a stable in ancient Jerusalem\, a child is born—a child who will grow up to be … Brian (Graham Chapman)\, an ordinary Judean who goes on to live an extraordinary life\, entangled in a plot to overthrow the Roman empire and mistaken for the Messiah\, among other unlikely events. Featuring ribald Roman puns\, sharp political commentary\, and an audacious crucifixion-themed musical number\, the Pythons’ most ambitious film is a hilarious lampooning of blind faith in which nothing is sacred. \n\n\n\nCome out before the film for a Monty Python pre-show starting at 6 pm! \n\n\n\nThis Good Friday\, the Easter Bunny has dropped off a couple of Easter Eggs: Monty Python’s Life of Brian and Donnie Darko. Pick up a ticket and put it in your basket before they’re all gone! \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:Marlene Dietrich in queer-coded pre-code classic MOROCCO (1930)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“A magnificent exploration of passion\, featuring iconic gender fluidity…This film is cinematic poetry ” – Jay Jacobson \n\n\n\nMOROCCO not only introduced Marlene Dietrich to English-speaking audiences\, the film revolutionized fashion and eroticism with the androgyny of her iconic tuxedo. Here\, Morocco isn’t a real place. It’s a sensual realm of the European imagination where wealthy hedonists mingle with adventure-seekers\, and women can escape narrowly defined social and sexual roles. Gary Cooper and Adolphe Menjou also appear in this film\, but who was looking at them? Marlene Dietrich steams up the screen in her first appearance in an American film – her second in a cycle of seven collaborations with director Josef von Sternberg. MOROCCO is a lavishly detailed\, unashamedly romantic frame-story for Dietrich’s mesmerizing musical numbers. In the film’s most heavily publicized scene\, Dietrich swaggers through a cabaret wearing a tuxedo and top hat by costume designer Travis Banton\, before kissing a female patron. Her playful gender satire catapulted women’s trousers into the fashion mainstream\, and shaped queer iconography for generations to come. It also inspired Yves Saint Laurent’s 1966 Le Smoking collection of women’s pantsuits.  \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 LOVER (2025) -- New Release!
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“One of the grossest\, most absurd love stories you’ll ever have the pleasure of seeing!” – Geek Vibes Nation \n\n\n\nA hit on the festival circuit—including at Hysteria Fest\, hosted here at Arkadin!—Grace Glowicki’s DEAD LOVER is an aromatic horror-comedy treat full of wit\, weirdness\, and delightful disgust. Glowicki herself stars as a lonely gravedigger\, perpetually stinking of corpses\, who finally meets her dream man\, but their whirlwind affair is cut short when he tragically drowns at sea. Grief-stricken\, she goes to morbid lengths to resurrect him through madcap scientific experiments involving his severed finger\, resulting in grave consequences and unlikely love. A deliciously strange riff on Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein\, DEAD LOVER is what we like to call “a very Arkadin kind of movie.” \n\n\n\nDEAD LOVER is screening twice: a standard showing on April 9 and a STINK-O-VISION showing on April 10.

It’s hilarious\, it’s bizarre\, it’s 100\,000 watts of weird beamed directly into your skull from the mind of an artist that it completely unrestrained.” – Nightmare on Film Street \n\n\n\n“A loony\, earnestly delirious dark romantic film with a handmade quality.” – RogerEbert.com \n\n\n\n“Grace Glowicki’s ‘Dead Lover’ is a scrappy and transgressive unearthing of the fine line between beauty and the grotesque. It’s the punk kid sibling to recent Gothic revivals like ‘Nosferatu’ and ‘Poor Things.'” – Dread Central \n\n\n\n\n\nWhy should Jessie Buckley have all the fun? We’re celebrating brides\, monsters\, mad doctors and more this month with our FEMALE FRANKENSTEINS series\, featuring thrills\, chills\, dark laughs and twisted loves\, all culminating with our screenings of the widely-acclaimed new horror-comedy DEAD LOVER! \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:LADY TERMINATOR (1988) -- Friday Night WTF! -- $5
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\n“My best theatrical experience of the year! Bat sh*t crazy…one of a kind and a vital part of the genre film canon.” – Sean Baker\, director of Anora \n\n\n\nSHE MATES…THEN SHE TERMINATES. An excessively perverted mash-up of action\, horror and exploitation\, LADY TERMINATOR is a neon-soaked\, fifty-uzi salute to The Terminator\, eye lasers and crotch violence against men. A brazen and beautiful act of pure plagiarism\, LADY TERMINATOR rips off James Cameron’s original and gives it a distinctly Indonesian spin: When a man steals a ghost snake from a witch\, she declares revenge on his entire lineage. The curse comes true 100 years later\, when a lady anthropologist is possessed by the ghost snake and transformed into a cyber-robotic master of death known as Lady Terminator. A genuine grindhouse fever-dream classic\, LADY TERMINATOR demands to be seen with a crowd. \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\nAll ages are welcome at Arkadin except for Drinkolas Cage events\, which are restricted to 21+.

SUMMARY:Stop-motion animated treasure MY LIFE AS A ZUCCHINI (2016) w/ Cipollino the Onion Boy (1972)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“As unexpectedly enchanting as its title is initially perplexing\, My Life as a Zucchini is short but oh so satisfyingly bittersweet\, an example of the kind of movie magic that’s always hard to find.” – Los Angeles Times \n\n\n\nA handcrafted stop‑motion treasure\, MY LIFE AS A ZUCCHINI is sharp\, funny\, and quietly devastating—a story about resilience that never sugarcoats pain but still finds room for hope. A shy nine‑year‑old nicknamed Zucchini is sent to a group home after a family tragedy\, only to discover a ragtag crew of kids carrying scars of their own. Through awkward friendships\, small rebellions\, and a budding romance with fierce newcomer Camille\, he learns that found family can be just as real as the one you lose. Nominated for the Academy Award for Best Animated Film\, ZUCCHINI was co-written by the brilliant Céline Sciamma\, director of Portrait of a Lady on Fire\, and directed by Claude Barras who conjures a pastel-hued world bursting with pure emotion. Presented in the English-dubbed version\, featuring the voices of Nick Offerman\, Amy Sedaris\, Will Forte and Elliot Page. \n\n\n\nBut that’s not all! This vegetative double feature also includes the uproarious animated short CIPOLLINO THE ONION BOY! A blast of Soviet slapstick with a political bite\, CIPOLLINO turns a garden full of talking produce into a miniature class uprising. The eponymous Onion Boy fights the unjust treatment of his fellow vegetable townsfolk by fruit royalty\, Prince Lemon and Lord Tomato\, using wit\, mischief\, and a rebel’s spirit. With bright and bouncy hand-drawn animation\, this deceptively clever satire is a 38-minute riot of color\, character\, and anti‑authoritarian spirit that was a fixture of many Soviet kids’ upbringing. \n\n\n\nThis screening is part of Arkadin’s April 2026 series\, HOW DOES YOUR GARDEN GROW?—featuring botanical wonders\, homicidal flora\, and secret gardens for you to make your escape. \n\n\n\nEach month\, DRAWN VISIONS presents an outré gem from the wild\, wonderful world of animation. Focusing on the strange\, the underseen\, and the unclassifiable\, this series proves cartoons aren’t just for kids\, they’re for total freaks too! \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:KOYAANISQATSI (1983) 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“One of the most eye-opening works of art created in the late 20th century” – The Cinephile Fix \n\n\n\nAn unconventional work in every way\, Godfrey Reggio’s KOYAANISQATSI was a sensation upon its initial release and retains a cult-like following to this day.  A wordless\, yet entrancing collage of Philip Glass’s hypnotic score and cinematographer Ron Fricke’s monumental imagery\, this trippy survey of the Northern Hemisphere’s rapidly changing environment shuttles viewers from one jaw-dropping vision to the next\, moving from images of untouched nature to others depicting human beings’ increasing dependence on technology. Heavily utilizing trippy time-lapse photography to suggest the frenetic pace of modern life\, KOYAANISQATSI—whose title comes from a Hopi word meaning “life out of balance”—is a plea for humanity to find some equilibrium with the fragile planet we all inhabit. Whatever you think of its hippie-ish ecological message\, the film remains one of cinema’s great transformative experiences. No one who’s seen it can ever shake its awe-inducing power. \n\n\n\nThis screening is part of Arkadin’s April 2026 series\, HOW DOES YOUR GARDEN GROW?—featuring botanical wonders\, homicidal flora\, and secret gardens for you to make your escape. \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:Psychedelic sleaze-burger DESPERATION RISING (1989) presented by St. Louis Video Society
DESCRIPTION:SAINT LOUIS VIDEO SOCIETY digs deep in its extensive archives to present the weirdest\, wildest\, most incredible VHS obscurities. Always free\, always presented by Video Society archivist James Milam! \n\n\n\nWhat if David Lynch dropped acid and remade Scarface? This is just one of thousands of questions that will not be answered while your brain is invaded by DESPERATION RISING. Starring Nick “Son of John” Cassavetes and dozens of real-life Los Angeles gang members who appear as part of a rehabilitation program\, this is the best movie on earth about a stockbroker seminar that turns into a cocaine-fueled rage war. DESPERATION RISING is filled with dad karate\, phone sex\, real sex\, cocaine\, humans exploding\, talking parrots\, Uzi battles\, more cocaine\, and rappin’ kids. This psychedelic sleaze-burger could only be better if director/star Jason Holt wrote and recorded Casio-soaked yacht rock songs with titles like “Get Ready To Rip” and “Love Blooms” for the soundtrack. Oh wait. He did! \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.

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\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. Tickets may also be purchased on the day of the show at the concession counter.\n\n\n\nIf you’ve purchased advance tickets\, when you arrive\, please give your name at the concession counter to check in. \n\n\n\nTickets are returnable by sending a request through the contact form located on our About Us page prior to showtime.\n\n\n\nWhen an event is sold out\, we reserve the right to release open seats to customers on the waitlist.
