About the event

Dweller In Darkness is the chronicle of Cassius Marius, a young man whose dream is to be chosen as one of the Church of the Pale King’s righteous Lightbringers and hunt the evil Dweller in Darkness in its chthonic lair. When his dream turns into a nightmare and with both his world and body falling apart, Cassius finds his quest for the truth puts him on a collision course not with the Dweller but the Pale King who sent him. The sequel to Flynn’s debut The Mystery of the Pale King (named one of the best reads of 2024 by Grimdark Magazine) and conclusion of the Deadlights Duology, Dweller In Darkness traverses a doomed empire polluted by corruption to ask “If the world was ending, what would you save? And what would you leave behind?”

Hispanic Film Series: THIS STOLEN COUNTRY OF MINE (NUESTRO PAíS ROBADO)

Watch Trailer Director: Marc Weise

Join us Tuesday, September 29th at 7:00 p.m. as our 2nd annual Hispanic Film Series continues with a powerful documentary about the corruption and the clash between Capitalism and culture!

Admission is FREE and open to the public – Tickets are required

This event will include a post-show panel discussion

About the film

Chinese mining in Ecuador’s mountains sets the stage for an epic battle between eco-guerrillas and a corrupt government in an intensely dramatic documentary.

This Stolen Country of Mine follows Paúl Jarrín Mosquera, who leads the indigenous resistance against the exploitation of their land. Meanwhile, China uses the Ecuadorian government to turn the country into one of its new colonies, having made the country dependent on credit through a series of corrupt and greedy treaties. When journalist Fernando Villavicencio exposes these plots and gets access to the contracts between China and Ecuador, the government wants him silenced too. Both men are fighting for freedom in this battle against a superpower.

Directed by award-winning filmmaker Marc Wiese, the film exposes China’s massive hunger for natural resources and how during the last decade it has been aggressively operating to obtain access to these resources in Ecuador. The country is now stuck with the most Chinese debts in Latin America.

The Spanish Film Club series was made possible with the support of the OHIO School of International Studies and Languages (SISAL), Sigma Delta Pi (National Collegiate Hispanic Honor Society), Pragda, SPAIN arts & culture, and the Secretary of State for Culture of Spain.

OUTlaws Pride Series: PINK FLAMINGOS

Watch Trailer

Join us Thursday, June 25th as we wrap up our Pride Series with the ultimate “midnight movie”!

Admission is FREE – Tickets are required

** Warning: This film contains scenes that may not be appropriate for young viewers **

About the film

Infamous drag queen Divine stars in this quintessential 1972 classic from writer-director John Waters that tells the story of Babs Johnson, an illustrious criminal known as “the filthiest person alive!” When two lesser hoodlums take it upon themselves to try and outdo Babs, the grotesquerie, bizarre-ness, crudity, and sadistic sensationalism rise to levels that only Waters could have the guts to put on film!

This self-proclaimed “exercise in poor taste” may not be for the squeamish, but this film put John Waters on the map in terms of a filmmaker willing to push the boundaries of the artform, and it became a cornerstone of the “abject art” movement. If you’re brave enough to make it to the end, you’ll definitely leave with the knowledge that you just witnessed something unique in all of cinematic history!

CLJC & OIP Present: WRONGFUL CONVICTION DAY with Dean Gillispie and Barry Rowan

Join us Tuesday, October 27th at 7:00 p.m. as the Ohio University Center for Law, Justice & Culture and the Ohio Innocence Project present Wrongful Conviction Day with exoneree Dean Gillispie and filmmaker Barry Rowan!

Admission is FREE and open to the Public – Tickets are required

The Center for Law, Justice & Culture and the Ohio Innocence Project at the University of Cincinnati College of Law will host a free film screening of Spiz, followed by a discussion and Q&A with the subject of the film, OIP exoneree Dean Gillispie, and the filmmaker Barry Rowen.

About the film

Spiz depicts the wrongful conviction of Dean Gillispie who served 20 years in prison for crimes he did not commit. Through the experience of Dean Gillispie, Spiz examines the causes and effects of wrongfully convicting American citizens.

Gillispie was wrongfully incarcerated for rape, kidnapping, and aggravated robbery in 1991. Gillispie served 20 years in prison for rapes that he always insisted he did not commit. The Ohio Innocence Project took on his case in 2003, and students worked diligently to overturn his conviction. A court subsequently found that Gillispie had not received a fair trial.

There was no physical evidence associating Gillispie to the crimes. Furthermore, there was information withheld from the jury in 1991. This information included the fact that the investigating detectives had eliminated Gillispie as a suspect, stating that he did not match the physical description that the victims described. He also did not fit the profile of the rapist.

Since his exoneration, Gillispie now serves on the Board of Advocates of the Ohio Innocence Project. He speaks about criminal justice reform to audiences around the world. His case is featured in the best-selling book False Justice: Eight Myths that Convict the Innocent.

BABES: Last Day Thursday, June 13th

Watch Trailer Director: Pamela Adlon
Cast: Ilana Glazer, Michelle Buteau

Eden (Ilana Glazer) and Dawn (Michelle Buteau) have been BFF’s since childhood; however, they have very different approaches to Life — Dawn is a responsible, married mother of two; Eden, on the other hand, lives life on more carefree terms. After a one-night stand, Eden finds herself unexpectedly pregnant and, deciding to follow through with having the baby, turns to Dawn for help and advice. As the two friends wrestle with the complexities of motherhood, their friendship gets put to the test (along with lots of laugh-inducing fun from two top-notch comedians!) and each comes away a little wiser in the end.

Rounding out the cast of this latest Glazer project is Oliver Platt, Hasan Minhaj, and Sandra Bernhard. Directed by Pamela Adlon (the voice actress for “Bobby” from the TV show King of the HillI), Babes debuted at the SXSW in March 2024 and is sure to be another feather in the cap for the zany star and co-creator of  Broad City.

TUESDAY: Last Day Thursday, June 20th

Watch Trailer Director: Daina O. Pusić
Cast: Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Lola Petticrew, Leah Harvey, Arinzé Kene

From A24 Studios comes a powerful story about life, death, and love.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus (Seinfeld, Veep) takes a step outside of her usual brilliantly funny persona to star as Zora, a single mother who lives with her terminally ill daughter “Tuesday”, played by the award-winning Irish actor Lola Petticrew. Things take a fantastical turn when, one day, a strange bird – a talking, size-changing parrot – arrives, setting mother and daughter on an emotional rollercoaster ride as they confront the meaning of existence and learn that the true essence of Love is knowing when and how to let go.

Tuesday is the directorial debut of filmmaker Daina O. Pusić and features mesmerizing cinematography by Alexis Zabé (The Florida Project). Dreyfus’s profoundly moving performance has been hailed by critics for its honesty, depth, and poignancy. Pusić’s affecting screenplay builds a bridge between fantasy and something very real at the heart of us all.

It’s clear that both Pusić and the actors...care about the characters. And because they do, the story resonates even more strongly...

I SAW THE TV GLOW: Last Day Thursday, June 13th

Watch Trailer Director: Jane Schoenbrun
Cast: Justice Smith, Brigette Lundy-Paine, Fred Durst

Back For One Week Only!

From A24 Studios comes a new psychological thriller from filmmaker Jane Schoenbrun. After striking up a friendship, two teen outcasts — Owen (Justice Smith) and Maddy (Bridgette Lundy-Paine) — fake a slumber party at a schoolmate’s house in order to secretly watch an episode of The Pink Opaque, a show for young adults featuring strong mythological and supernatural themes. The two fall in love with the show (and maybe a little with each other). Maddy’s troubled life compels her to run away from home. Owen considers joining her, but he’s forced to remain and take care of his dying mother. Fast-forward 10 years, Maddy mysteriously returns to tell Owen that the substance of The Pink Opaque is, in fact real, and that the two can live there in happiness…if only he can see fit to believe.

With its striking visuals and excellent music soundtrack — in fact, musicians including Fred Durst of Limp Bizkit, Phoebe Bridgers, Haley Dahl of Sloppy Jane, and Kristina Esfandiari of Miserable all appear in the film — I Saw the TV Glow is sure to be a hit with fans of Stranger Things and the rest of the A24 catalogue of films.
