Freaky Fridays is a nose-dive into the weird, wild, and wicked world of genre films. A wasteland inhabited by a crude collection of Japanese cyberpunks, black ninjas, undead biker gangs, buxom cheerleaders, Italian serial killers, and future cinema stars who would rather forget their early screen appearances. Too crazy for primetime, these films will twist your senses, melt your brains, and make you jump from “why am I watching this?” to “I can’t believe I am watching this!”Think you’ve seen it all? Think again, and get ready to get freaky!
About THE SHINING: FORWARDS AND BACKWARDS
Immortalized in Rodney Asher’s documentary ROOM 237, THE SHINING: FORWARDS AND BACKWARDS is a masterwork of experimental video manipulation. John Fell Ryan and Akiva Saunders’ hallucinatory palindromic love letter to Kubrick’s finely-tuned symmetric compositions. Created in 2011, Ryan explained “we put the US DVD version into Final Cut, removed all corporate logos and leaders at the beginning, and cut all credits at the end. The entire film image sequence was then copied, reversed and superimposed over the original forwards version.” What results is a mesmerizing acid trip experience of uncanny coincidences (or perhaps like the ‘satanic panic’ of the 1980s, secret hidden messages when played in reverse) wherein the images and themes contained in Kubrick’s film are at times contradictory and complimentary to the story being told. In short, this is THE SHINING as you have never seen it (or dreamed it) before. Join us on this rare journey into the literal and figurative fracturing of cinematic sanity and get ready to get freaky!
