SUMMARY:The Crosstown Arts Film Series presents ENDLESS POETRY
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts presents Endless Poetry in Crosstown Theater. \nCrosstown Theater\nThursday\, May 16\, 2024\nTickets: $5 at the door\nDoors at 6:30 p.m. | Films begin at 7:00 p.m. (sharp!) \nAlejandro Jodorowsky / 2016 / 128 minutes / Rated R \nThrough renowned father of the midnight movies Alejandro Jodorowsky’s intensely personal lens\, Endless Poetry tells the story of his years spent as an aspiring poet in Chile in the 1940s. Against the wishes of his authoritarian father\, the 20 year old Jodorowsky leaves home to pursue his dream of becoming a poet\, and is introduced into the bohemian and artistic inner circle of Santiago where he meets Enrique Lihn\, Stella Diaz Varín\, Nicanor Parra\, all unknown at the time\, but who would later become driving forces of twentieth century Hispanic literature. Living with these inspirational artists\, Jodorowsky’s exploration of his inner feelings takes him on a journey of sensual experimentation leading him to realize his innermost desires and passions. \nContinuing the autobiographical story he began in The Dance of Reality\, Endless Poetry is an ode to the quest for beauty and inner truth\, as a universal force capable of changing one’s life forever\, written by a man who has dedicated his existence to creating spiritual and artistic awareness\, told through Jodorowsky’s unique surreal and psychedelic visual language. \nThe Crosstown Arts Film Series showcases a diverse collection of independent\, international\, historically significant\, artistic\, experimental\, cult\, underground\, and documentary features.

SUMMARY:The Crosstown Arts Film Series presents DAWN OF THE DEAD
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts presents 45 Years of Fear: an anniversary screening of Dawn of the Dead in Crosstown Theater. \nCrosstown Theater\nThursday\, May 30\, 2024\nTickets: $10 at the door\nDoors at 6:30 p.m. | Films begin at 7:00 p.m. (sharp!) \nGeorge A. Romero / 1978 / 127 minutes / Rated R \nA sequel of sorts to Romero’s 1968 film Night of the Living Dead\, Dawn of the Dead tells the story of a group of survivors during a zombie outbreak who take refuge in a suburban shopping mall while mass hysteria wreaks havoc on their town. \nOnce an omnipresent staple of midnight movie programs\, George A. Romero’s gut-chomping\, genre-defining sequel to Night of the Living Dead has since all but disappeared from movie screens\, as well as every other viewing format available. The cult following is now so large that it is estimated that over 80% of Dawn of the Dead’s fans have never experienced this legendary epic on a real movie screen. We are thrilled to be able to bring the original uncut theatrical version back for the fans and back for the screams! \nThis special anniversary screening will be $10 per admission. \nThe Crosstown Arts Film Series showcases a diverse collection of independent\, international\, historically significant\, artistic\, experimental\, cult\, underground\, and documentary features.
