It’s a bit quiet on the arts front (or at least the stuff I’m interested in is napping) so this weekend is mainly movie time.

ANAVAN: Tour Kick Off & Release Party @ The Smell. With Hearts of Darkness, Grand Buffet, Captain Ahab and Kyle H Mabsen. Anavan’s last LA show before their European expedition. ANAVAN video, Pregnancy Test, at topStarts at 9 PM.

Kwaidan @ The Silent Movie Theatre. The final film in the Cinefamily’s Japanese Ghost Stories series, Kwaidan is 183 minutes of almost psychedelic colour. Heaped with praise and awards when it was released, this is a “must see on the big screen” opportunity that you shouldn’t miss. Starts at 7:30.

Joy and Misery $ Five Thirty Three. This Ben Shaffer curated group show caught my eye because it features work by Conrail Twitty, Devon Tsuno and the Center for Tactical Magic. Also featured are Christopher Badger, Jackson Fledermaus, Sarah Lowing, Anna Mayer, Deirdre McConnell, Karthik Pandian. Reception is 7-10 PM.

Sunday, October 26

The Hidden & Alone in the Dark @ The Silent Movie Theatre. Presented by Family Books. I’m really just recommending this double feature because Kyle MacLachlan is in The Hidden. I’d watch Kyle do pretty much anything, damn you Twin Peaks. Starts at 8 PM.

Monday, October 27

The People Under the Stairs & The Serpent and the Rainbow @ The Silent Movie Theatre. Two from Wes Craven, also presented by Family Books. The Serpent and the Rainbow is a great film, one that I manage to keep missing every time it’s playing at a theatre. Starts at 8PM.
