Count Gore Presents THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN Live interactive show! Courtesy of Screenvision Sat, Feb 15, 7:30 James Whale's follow-up film is a classic beloved in its own right, at times emotionally poignant and at others campy fun. No sooner has Boris Karloff's Monster learned a few words than he starts to make demands—for a mate! Elsa Lanchester's Bride, with her streaked, stand-up frizz, is just as recognizable today as Karloff's Monster. Fun special effects courtesy of Ernest Thesiger's demented Dr. Pretorius and his bottled collection of miniature men! DIR James Whale; SCR William Hurlbut; PROD Carl Laemmle, Jr. US, 1935, b&w, 75 min. NOT RATED Local legend Count Gore De Vol (aka Dick Dyszel) returns from his crypt to host the presentation of this horror classic. In the spirit of Channel 20’s original CREATURE FEATURE broadcasts, this special presentation will feature the Count hosting on stage, with interactive intermissions and lots of ghoulish good fun and surprises in store. Co-presented with the Spooky Movie International Festival (spookyfest.com).

BAND OF SISTERS Fri, Apr 11, 7:15 In the wake of the Vatican II reforms of the 1960s, which modernized Catholic practice and called on the religious to serve where there is the greatest need, American nuns took it upon Courtesy of DOCFACTORY themselves to put word into action, coming out of the cloister and engaging with the world. This documentary tells the too-little-told, imperfectly understood story of this remarkable transformation. Profiling a range of forward-thinking, hard-working, innovative and inspiring nuns, sisters on the front lines of issues ranging from low-income housing and health care, immigration reform, alternative medicine, environmentalism and organic farming, not to mention a myriad of social justice campaigns and advocating on behalf of women’s role in the church, this engaging film will enlighten the mind and move the heart.

SHADOWS OF LIBERTY Sat, Mar 8, 1:00 The News Corp phone-hacking scandal is merely the most recent, attention-getting event to cause citizens from across the political spectrum to call into question the priorities of the press. Filmmaker Jean-Philippe Tremblay delves deeper into questions of how the interests of corporate media, global corporations and the U.S. government intersect, and the high costs paid by journalists who have run afoul of these powerful interests. Examining how certain stories are sold or suppressed, this documentary asks probing questions about who chooses the news that reaches the public.
