STARSHIP TROOPERS, Sept 26 and 27 at 6:30
It's humans versus bugs in this sci-fi satire from provocateur Paul Verhoeven, taking place in a stylized fascist pseudo-utopia awash with anti-Arachnid propaganda. When a crew of indoctrinated teens enlist in the war against this insect-like alien race, their gleeful brutality reverses the terms of humanity and inhumanity. First in a new series: INSECTOMANIA!

From a lonely childhood to literary fame, her life was shaped by devotion to nature, paying attention, and the long journey toward learning to love and to be loved. If poetry had a pop icon, Mary Oliver would be it. Showtimes/tickets at link in the comments.

Part of a new series REALITY DREAMS: CINEMATIC DOCUMENTARIES
Looking beyond true crime and talking-head interviews, Reality Dreams celebrates documentaries with a distinctively cinematic quality. Vérité portraits of fascinating people, breathtaking images of the natural world, mind-bending explorations of digital expanses: all of these and more find a home here. In the spirit of Frederick Wiseman, this series creates a canon of movies that capture something more than truth.

Final entry in our series Power/Play, THE DUKE OF BURGUNDY screens tonight, 9/20 at 9:00 pm, Tuesday, 9/22 at 1:45 pm, and Thursday, 9/24 at 9:00 pm.

"Set in her stately home surrounded by nature, Cynthia (Sidse Babett Knudsen) is an expert in lepidopterology (the study of moths and butterflies). She is in a romantic relationship with younger student Evelyn (Chiara D’Anna), who is in a subservient sexual position to Cynthia’s dominant taskmaster role. The film follows the recurring routine and growing tensions of their relationship as expectations, needs, and bodies change. It all unravels in a dreamy unhurriedness; Strickland’s camera is sultrily voyeuristic, illuminating the true care between the two even through the shifts in their relationship. Color and textures reign here, predominantly the tactility and power of fabric...." - Megan Fariello, Cine-File

New series MONSTER MASH starts the week of October 2.
When it comes to classic horror, the monster movie has become near-synonymous with Universal Pictures, whose creatures have been stomping onto screens to threaten the status quo since 1913. With a selection of films spanning the studio's wildly successful run in 1930s to its introduction of new, original monsters in the 1940s and 1950s, this series holds a mirror up to the enduring fears of otherness that animate the genre.

Titles in this series:
BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN (1935)
DRACULA (1931)
THE WOLF MAN (1941)
CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON (1954)
THE MUMMY (1932)
