Who ya gonna call?

The 1989 action drama, Riverbend, has been restored and recently praised for it's bold political edge. A black major (played by Steve James) and his men are on the run from a rigged court-martial and hide out in a small Georgia town where a cruel white sheriff is terrorising the black population. Together with Bell Coleman (played by Margaret Avery), they formulate a bold plan to fight for freedom and human rights.

"We are the weirdos, mister."

Next up in our Films on Tap series: The Craft!

Hang with us Friday, October 16th at 7 PM as we bring the 1996 cult classic to the big screen out in the Flytrap beer garden. Grab your crew and settle in with a pint & a little witchy ’90s nostalgia.

Against political resistance and industry skepticism, Latino director and playwright, Luis Valdez pushes Chicano storytelling from the fields to the film screen with La Bamba and Zoot Suit. His storytelling has crafted iconic works that challenge, celebrate, and expand America’s story. This documentary is an enlightening biography and defiant assertion of Chicano identity.

There will be a community discussion with the filmmaker and community partners after the screening. This screening is brought to you by South Arts, the National Endowment for the Arts, UNCW’s Kenan Auditorium, Cucalorus Film Foundation, and WHQR.

From Executive Producer Gary Sinise, and Director/Producer Jake Rademacher, BROTHERS AFTER WAR reconnects Jake with his brothers and the elite Soldiers and Marines he embedded with during the Iraq War. Intercutting footage past and present, he leads us on an insightful, humorous, and moving journey as we watch service members explore loss, meaning, and hope on their path from warfighter to veteran.

FREE Lunch, FREE Movie, FREE Journal, and FREE Seminar for Service Members, Veterans, and their Family Members.

On Halloween eve, Cinematique brings you the original 1974 horror classic: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Come in costume and bring a friend to hold on to while watching five friends head out to rural Texas to visit the grave of a grandfather. On the way, they stumble across what appears to be a deserted house, only to discover something sinister within. Something armed with a chainsaw.

This was the first film to marry independent exploitation cinema, arthouse filmmaking, and classical horror into a modern, nightmarish brew that continues to exert a profound and lasting influence over the contemporary horror renaissance. Screenings will be followed by a discussion led by Juan Carlos Kase, Associate Professor and Chair of Film Studies at the University of North Carolina Wilmington. Stay after the matinee or show up early for the evening screening to enjoy the Cinematique Social Hour from 6pm-7:15pm in the Jengo's Bar (we'll provide the snacks!)

Screening:
@ 4:30 (Matinee)
@ 7:30 (Evening Screening + Post-Film Discussion)

After 20 years of chronicling his Puerto Rican family, a director and his mother face devastating losses. Through tears and laughter, they craft animations that bring their loved ones back to life, discovering that every act of creation is also an act of letting go.

There will be a community discussion with the filmmaker and community partners after the screening. This screening is brought to you by South Arts, the National Endowment for the Arts, UNCW’s Kenan Auditorium, Cucalorus Film Foundation, and WHQR.
