FILM ON THE FRINGE: Magic Myth & Movies

What if the bogeyman turns out to be real? That's the premise of 2009 documentary CROPSEY, written and directed by Joshua Zeman and Barbara Brancaccio. The filmmakers explore the origins of the urban legend they heard about as children, only to discover that there may, in fact, be some truth behind the tale.

And the truth, as they say, is... terrifying.

TOYNBEE IDEA / IN KUBRICK'S 2001 / RESURRECT DEAD / ON PLANET JUPITER // For over 25 years, mysterious tiles have appeared on busy streets from New York to Brazil.

Take a break from the current election madness and join us for a discussion into this incredibly strange and fascinating story of obsession, street art, synchronicity, and the outer limits of the human imagination.
