Full of stunning filmmaking and design\, clever writing and deep emotional beats\, this timeless program of claymation is for the kid in us all. \n\n\n\nA GRAND DAY OUT (1989\, 25 mins.)Talented but unlucky inventor Wallace travels with his loyal sidekick on a cheese-seeking moon quest. \n\n\n\nTHE WRONG TROUSERS  (1993\, 30 mins.)Wallace’s latest invention – a pair of “Techno Trousers” – leads to danger from penguin supervillain Feathers McGraw. \n\n\n\nA CLOSE SHAVE (1995\, 30 mins.)Wallace has a new invention – a Knit-O-Matic machine – and adventure looms as sheep are being rustled and poor Gromit is framed. Keep your eyes peeled for Shaun the Sheep in his big-screen debut! \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\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.

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.

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.

DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Ferocious and flawless\, Raw grips you from the get go and doesn’t spit you out until the bitter end. Simply incredible.” – IGN \n\n\n\nThe bolt-from-the-blue debut from French provocateur Julia Ducournau (Titane)\, Raw is a wild\, visceral coming-of-age art-horror cannibal jam unlike anything that came before it. Garance Marillier stars as Justine\, a sheltered\, vegetarian veterinary student whose first taste of raw meat during a brutal hazing ritural awakens a ravenous hunger she can’t explain. Justine experiences a body‑horror metamorphosis that’s equal parts tender\, terrifying\, and intoxicating in this weird and wild journey that depicts self‑discovery as a carnivorous fever dream. Filled with indelible images and inedible nightmares\, Raw may just be the greatest allegorical-feminist-cannibal-erotic-body-horror-vet-school-hazing film you’ll ever see. \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.

Douglas Cheek’s cult ’80s favorite once again crawls out of the sewers and onto the big screen to provide the ultimate underground movie experience. In downtown Manhattan\, a police captain’s hunt for his missing wife uncovers a series of mysterious disappearances in the area. When he extends his search into the tunnels and sewers below\, it soon becomes clear that something monstrous lurks beneath the city streets – and it’s not staying down there much longer! Uniting John Heard and Daniel Stern years before Home Alone and featuring an early appearance by beloved St. Louis native John Goodman\, C.H.U.D. updates the 1950s creature feature for the 1980s with gloriously goopy\, gloppy\, gory results. \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.

Anyone able to stomach its graphic imagery will find it an unsettling but unforgettable movie.” – San Francisco Chronicle \n\n\n\nPeter Greenaway’s notorious masterpiece The Cook\, the Thief\, His Wife & Her Lover is a rich\, decadent five-course meal that leaves your stomach unsettled in the best possible way. The Cook serves up immaculate gourmet dishes in the beautiful Le Hollandais. The Thief holds his tyrannical court in the restaurant\, terrorizing all around him. His wife has a dangerous and illicit passion. And her lover is having the riskiest affair of his life. Starring Helen Mirren and Michael Gambon\, this grisly\, sexy\, venomous tale of cruelty and vengeance combines a brilliantly pulsing Michael Nyman score\, frame-worthy cinematography by Sacha Guitry\, lavish costumes by designer Jean Paul Gaultier\, and real fine dining plates prepared by Michelin-starred chef Giorgio Locatelli into a lavish\, outrageous spectacle. Slapped with the deadly NC-17 rating upon its release\, The Cook… went on to become a surprise arthouse smash\, shocking and delighting audiences the world over with its audacious gustatory pleasures and terrors. \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.

Trading the campy kid-friendly surrealism of the earlier films for a darker\, more realistic tone and jaw-dropping innovative special effects\, the “Heisei trilogy” are still regarded today as three of the best—if not the very best—kaiju films ever made. This unmissable trio plays on the last three Sundays in September at 3 pm. Each film in the trilogy builds on the previous one but also offers a perfectly satisfying standalone experience! \n\n\n\n\nSept. 13 @ 3 pm — Gamera: Guardian of the Universe (1995)“Modern monster classic” – Toho KingdomFollowing a long absence from the big screen\, Gamera made a triumphant return to form in time for his 30th anniversary\, with upgraded special effects and a more serious tone. Now a guardian deity\, Gamera tussles with a new incarnation of his old foe—the flying monster Gyaos — first in Fukuoka\, and then in a spectacular aerial battle over Tokyo.\n\n\n\nSept. 20 @ 3 pm — Gamera 2: Attack of Legion (1996)“The kind of sequel that all kaiju films should aspire to be” – Cinematical PenguinOne year after the events of the previous Gamera film\, Earth’s ecosystem is under attack by an insect lifeform from outer space bent on colonizing our world. As the city of Sendai is destroyed\, Gamera must protect the planet from the monster Legion and gets some help from Japan’s Self Defense Forces.\n\n\n\nSept. 27 @ 3 pm — Gamera 3: Revenge of Iris (1999)”The greatest giant monster film ever made” – A.D. VisionAs Gyaos monsters begin to attack Japan again\, a young girl — whose parents died during a previous monster conflict — discovers a new creature called Iris. After merging with the girl\, the trauma-powered Iris seeks revenge on Gamera\, who seems to be losing his patience with humankind.\n\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.

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.

And yet\, against all odds\, Myers’s wacky step-and-repeat characters remain enduringly entertaining.” – The Ringer \n\n\n\n“I put the grrr in swinger\, baby!” a deliciously randy Austin Powers coos near the beginning of The Spy Who Shagged Me\, the the blockbuster go-for-broke sequel to 1997’s breakout hit Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery. Mike Myers plays the hits while expanding his coterie of comic grotesques. Austin (Myers)\, Basil Exposition (Michael York)\, Dr. Evil (Myers again)\, Dr. Evil’s petulant son Scott (Seth Green)\, and Dr. Evil’s surprisingly competent second-in-command Number Two (Robert Wagner) are back\, but The Spy Who Shagged Me also introduced us to Dr. Evil’s petit clone Mini-Me (Vern Troyer\, RIP)\, Number Two’s younger self (Rob Lowe)\, American spygirl Felicity Shagwell (Heather Graham)\, and of course the obese cannibalistic Scotsman you love to hate\, Fat Bastard (Myers yet again). This time around\, Austin heads back to the ’60s to keep Dr. Evil from blowing up the world–and\, more importantly\, to get back his mojo! Bigger\, sillier\, and raunchier than its predecessor\, The Spy Who Shagged Me remains outrageously entertaining and serves as a clever\, decidedly out-of-the-box selection in our Fine Young Cannibals series…Now\, get in my belly! \n\n\n\nCome our before the film for a pre-show of classic Mike Myers clips\, starting at 6 pm. \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.

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“It’s schlock of course\, but it’s great schlock… super entertaining (and pretty raunchy at times too).” – lou (rhymes with wow!)\, Letterboxd \n\n\n\nAuntie Lee and her quartet of voluptuous “nieces” are known for making the tastiest meat pies around\, all from Auntie’s top secret recipe which calls for a most unusual type of meat: human. In order to acquire the juiciest flesh\, the girls employ their lusty charms\, luring unsuspecting male strangers into a carnal—and deadly—trap\, in which they’re chopped\, quartered\, and minced. Taking a simple premise and turning it into an increasingly bloody and hallucinogenic nightmare\, Joseph F. Robertson’s Auntie Lee’s Meat Pies heaps on gruesome kills with a healthy side of pitch-black humor. Graced with a cast as strange as the film itself\, including The Karate Kid‘s Pat Morita as a chilled-out sheriff\, The Hills Have Eyes‘ Michael Berryman as simple-minded helper\, and the legendary Karen Black as the Satan-worshipping meat pie maker Auntie Lee\, this one has all the rights ingredients for a Friday Night WTF classic. \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.

Slowly haunting and brooding\, with an uneasiness always in the air.” – Paul Hibbard\, Hysteria Fest \n\n\n\nIn this slow-burn psychological horror from filmmaker Sean Mannion\, a young couple’s dream of regenerative farming and idyllic mountainside living curdles into increasingly sinister rituals\, spiraling from animal slaughter to self-mutilation and cannibalism. Filmed on a working regenerative farm\, The Threshing reaps a harvest of horrors from its intimate—often insular and cult-like—milieu and the havoc it plays on its characters’ fragile psyches. Exploring issues of ecology\, relationships\, and the systems of belief that allow us to function in this off-kilter world\, The Threshing is as fresh as the daily harvest. \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.

A retro-stylized post-apocalyptic black comedy about cannibalism that’s not only darkly funny but beautiful\, whimsical\, and wildly imaginative as well? It could only have been made by Jean-Pierre Jeunet (Amélie). Unemployed circus clown Louison (Dominique Pinon) applies for a job as a handyman at an apartment building in post-apocalyptic France\, unaware that the ad is a ruse to lure people to the apartment where butcher-cum-landlord Clapet slaughters them to feed the apartment’s hungry residents. When Louison falls in love with the butcher’s nebbish daughter (Maire-Laure Dougnac)\, it takes all their wits to escape the knife.

Trading the campy kid-friendly surrealism of the earlier films for a darker\, more realistic tone and jaw-dropping innovative special effects\, the “Heisei trilogy” are still regarded today as three of the best—if not the very best—kaiju films ever made. This unmissable trio plays on the last three Sundays in September at 3 pm.

Full of laugh-out-loud sick gags and charmingly acted by all.” – Empire \n\n\n\nA sleeper hit of the early 1980s\, Eating Raoul is a bawdy\, gleefully amoral tale of conspicuous consumption. Warhol superstar Mary Woronov and cult legend Paul Bartel (who also directed) portray a prudish married couple—appropriately named the Blands—who feel put upon by the swingers living in their apartment building. One night\, by accident\, they discover a way to simultaneously rid themselves of the “perverts” down the hall and realize their dream of opening a restaurant. A mix of hilarious\, anything-goes slapstick and biting satire of me-generation self-indulgence\, Eating Raoul marked the end of the sexual revolution with a thwack. \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.

A creepy and black-comic hilarious horror yarn that “packs a punch that goes way beyond mere terror” (Boxoffice)\, Motel Hell is ’80s cult filmmaking at its finest. Rory Calhoun stars as the psychotic Vincent\, whose popular products contain a special ingredient that the psychotic farmer and his sister (Nancy Parsons) would literally kill to keep a secret! Can you guess what it is? (We bet you can.) Delightfully gruesome\, with an acid tongue firmly in its cheek\, this gleefully schlocky chiller co-stars Cheers and Pixar regular John Ratzenberger as a punk rock drummer and legendary DJ Wolfman Jack as a televangelist. The film also happens to be one of Arkadin co-owner Keith’s mom’s favorite films of all time! Come find out why and see if this cult classic just might be your cup of meat too. \n\n\n\nCome out early for a Cannibal Shorts pre-show starting at 6 pm\, featuring a smorgasbord of human meat. \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.

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. The film refuses to provide easy judgments or simple resolutions\, allowing us—or perhaps forcing us—to marinate in our own shared humanity. \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.

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.

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.
