Midnight movies go under the microscope at Facets Night School!
An off-shoot of Facets' long-running, popular film school program, Facets Night School digs into cinema's wild side with special Saturday night, midnight lectures on cult favorites led by Facets' expert staff, followed by screenings of the films and post-screening discussions. It's a schooling in Midnight Movies that you won't find anywhere else!
Session One opens tonight with:
"Mining The Holy Mountain: The Influence of Jodorowsky on Conservative Action Movies and Progressive Rock Music"
Facets staff writer Brian Elza's presentation of Alejandro Jodorowsky's trippy 1973 flick, The Holy Mountain!
Lecture starts at MIDNIGHT, followed by a screening and post-screening discussion. Only $5 (or buy a series pass -- $40 for 9 classes)!
Educational packets full of articles, essays, bibliography and more will be provided for each film, as well!
If you need further convincing of Facets Night School's awesomeness, check out The Holy Mountain's trailer!
Or better yet, read the press praise for Facets Night School!
