DARK LIGHT: SUNDANCE SHORT FILMS FROM THE MIDNIGHT COLLECTION
Presented by Sundance
The art of the midnight/cult film has been around as long as movies and has flourished at the Sundance Film Festival. Join us after dark to see weird visions and underworlds from Sundance‘s recent years of delving into the mysterious. Less about shock and more about strange characters, unseen worlds and tripping out. You may learn bad habits, or maybe it’ll just be funny, you weirdo.
