After the poster swap, join us for a film programmed by the team at Hyperreal Film Club! 

*No purchase necessary to participate in poster swap!

Film Synopsis:

Before STRANGER THINGS combined science fiction, Spielberg-ian thrills, and 1980s nostalgia to much acclaim, Richard Kelly set the high-water mark with DONNEI DARKO. Initially beset with distribution problems, it would slowly find its audience and emerge as arguably the first cult classic of the new millennium. Described by its director as "THE CATCHER IN THE RYE as told by Philip K. Dick," DONNIE DARKO stars Jake and Maggie Gyllenhaal, Patrick Swayze, Drew Barrymore, Mary McDonnell, Katharine Ross, and Noah Wyle. Now available as a newly restored in 4K DCP from Arrow Films.
