The 1984 film plays in full on a big screen while a live orchestra performs Elmer Bernstein's score underneath it, which turns out to be a genuinely different experience than watching it at home for the fifteenth time. Popejoy is a proper concert hall with good sightlines and real acoustics, so the music actually lands...
This 45-minute documentary centers on the 1979 collapse of a United Nuclear Corporation tailings dam at Church Rock, NM, which released 94 million gallons of radioactive wastewater into the Rio Puerco and through Diné communities that depended on that river for everything. Singer Paul Pino opens the event, and the source listing strongly suggests pairing...
The Guild is doing a Sunday evening Rocky Horror screening with PRIDE & Equality and New Mexico Entertainment behind it, which means this is probably the participatory, costumed, prop-bag kind of experience rather than a quiet film-society watch. The Guild's single-screen intimacy makes crowd energy land differently here than it would in a multiplex, for...
Cerdita/Piggy opens NHCC's thriller film series with Carlota Pereda's Spanish vengeance story about bullying, silence, and a stranger who changes the math. The Bank of America Theatre is a better room for subtitles than most multipurpose venues, but note the mature-audience warning, since this one is not casual spooky-season comfort viewing.
Way OUT West Film Fest is selling a 6-movie punch card for screenings at Guild Cinema. This is the sensible play if you already know you’ll be back, since the Guild’s tiny lobby and single-screen rhythm reward people who plan their festival days instead of winging it.
This is the full festival pass for Way OUT West Film Fest at Guild Cinema, covering the festival run rather than a single screening. The Guild is small enough that a pass can actually change your rhythm, since you can catch the oddball slots without treating every choice like a major investment. Expect a loyal...
Before I Do is the opening night film for Way OUT West Film Fest, screening at Guild Cinema on Route 66. The Guild crowd is usually better than average at actually watching a movie, but opening night can mean extra milling around the lobby, so build in a little patience.
The 1922 Nosferatu gets the full treatment here: bingo cards, DJ Fishbowl on the soundtrack, and cold beer in a building that was itself once a little creepy. Painted Lady is a genuinely small room, so the film fills the space in a way a big screen never quite replicates. Tickets are through Hold My...
Son of Sara is a ticketed Guild Cinema screening presented by Way OUT West Film Fest. The Guild is best when the crowd is there for the film rather than the popcorn, and festival nights usually bring that kind of attentive, low-chatter room.
This is Way OUT West Film Fest's Saturday Morning Queertoons program, a compact block of queer-minded animation at Guild Cinema. The Guild is the right room for it, small enough that a matinee crowd can feel like a clubhouse instead of a lecture hall.
