The Wicker Man. Oh Jesus! Oh Lord! Oh NewScreen!

Take the flame. Feel him in.

We set a rather high bar for our second official season of NewScreen with this British classic. Robin Hardy’s The Wicker Man was originally relegated to the minor leagues, and cut down in length to serve as an opening short for Nicolas Roeg’s Don’t Look Now (our next feature, btw.)

The most asked question after the movie? “How did you find this?” In fact, this was recommended to me by Sophie K. Davis, about 10 years ago!

Tonight’s opening short was Cheeto Christ Stupid-Czar, by the amazingly clever satirist, Randy Rainbow.
