Join our host Glen Haley as we revisit the best of independent film in Indies by the Decade: Midnight Movies. Haley will lead a pre-film discussion sharing insights and personal reflections on each film.
Before STRANGER THINGS combined science fiction, Spielberg-ian thrills, and 1980s nostalgia to much acclaim, Richard Kelly set the high-water mark with DONNIE 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.
Hosted by Glen Haley. Screening of DONNIE DARKO follows talk.
