SURREAL SUMMER
The Wicker Man (4K Restoration) x Hannah May Cumming
- Fri, May 15
Run Time: 110 min.
Tickets $15. Join us for a restored 4K screening of The Wicker Man, hosted by local horror director and professional Wicker Man-enthusiast Hannah May Cumming! Before the film, enjoy a slightly scholarly (but mostly fun) dive into the movie’s bizarre production, its surprising reception, and the age-old question: what really makes it a “cult” classic… and what makes a cult in general? We’ll be exploring the full spectrum - from Manson to MAGA… Jesus to Jim Jones...and everything in between! Don your finest folky spring attire - flower crowns, pagan chic, papier-mâché animal heads, because costumes are very much encouraged. One lucky attendee will be crowned the May Queen on stage (no human sacrifice required… probably).
