I Love Paris
An acerbic mockumentary about vampires, music, and celebrity in the city of lights.
France, USA / 2026 / 1 hr 49 mins
In French and English, with English subtitles
Paris is a musician with a narcissistic appetite for stardom, going so far as to have a cameraperson follow her around everywhere and document her assured rise to fame. Instead the lens captures a sudden attack - and Paris' transformation into a creature of the night. What happens when a hunger for fame collides with a hunger for blood? And is the cost of your soul a fair price for your name in lights?
Little Doors
A quiet, surreal exploration of a possible relationship at the end of the world.
USA / 2026 / 1 hr 17 mins
English
As the world stumbles forward in the ruins of a mysterious apocalypse, a lonely woman persists in her closed-off life. After meeting an optimistic locksmith and fumbling towards a deeper connection, she suddenly finds that a small door has appeared on her abdomen. And there’s something on the other side that wants out. What does it mean? And more importantly, what will happen if she opens it? Little Doors is a dry, absurd tale about the terrifying complexity of knowing another person... and letting them know you.
Anomaly Slightly Safer (films that avoid excessive blood, guts, gore, and explicit terror)
Zu: Warriors from the Magic Mountain
A supernatural wuxia fantasy in 35mm
Hong Kong / 1983 / 1 hr 38 mins
In Cantonese with English subtitles
The inspiration for Ang Lee’s Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and John Carpenter’s Big Trouble in Little China, this classic early 80s swordplay fantasy epic is what started it all. During a Chinese civil war in the 1740s, forces of good and evil face off in the Zu Mountains and, with no short supply of magic (lasers, flying swords, witches, sorcerers, and demons!), battle through the air and across mountains. Tsui Hark's film finds its charm in the telling of spectacle-filled myth on a meager budget, where dazzling visuals and over-the-top stylistics make for a wild, wild ride. Screening at The Dryden Theatre, on a 35mm film print from the George Eastman Museum collection.
