HELL OF A SUMMER
Coming May 9
Things get bloody at summer camp in this hilariously gory throwback slasher!

TALL TALES
ONLY IN THEATRES THURSDAY, MAY 8
Fabled English record producer Mark Pritchard, luminary songwriter Thom Yorke and groundbreaking visual artist Jonathan Zawada present Tall Tales – a debut collaborative visual and audio cinema experience a decade in the making. Landscapes of synth-pop, prog, dub, 70s synth, Joe Meek, Ivor Cutler, Library, kraut and classic Warp™? – Tall Tales sounds like musicians meeting in the Hinterland. Transmitted by Australian visual artist Jonathan Zawada, Tall Tales is a fairy tale for the modern world; depicting rising tides, kings & queens, amazon logistics and robotic arms under iridescent skies. We wanted computers to do our accounting – instead, they try to paint our pictures and sing our songs. Like all good fairy tales – this work edges light with the dark as Thom’s echoed chants intertwine with Mark’s shimmering electronics. On Tall Tales, we hear seasoned musicians continue down the path of experimentation.
A prophetic visual album, Tall Tales has been years in the making, but delivered right on time.

“Film is an important means of communication. It is an art form that can unite us, define eras, influence change, and bring us comfort. Since I started coming to the Zinema, I always looked forward to seeing films about new cultures, innovative filmmaking, and odd and refreshing ways of telling stories. As a programmer, I try to find things that are, above all, interesting. I try to show stories you haven’t seen, perspectives that take space in your head for days after viewing. Movies that welcome, movies that push the boundaries, and movies that we can actively cheer or dance at. Most of my favorite cinematic memories have taken place in this building and I want to create that same thing for you.”
