TITE: Spirit Riser

CLUB 18+131 min

Synopsis

In the greatest midnight movie of the year, sisters Sydney and Ingrid have their world upended after a malevolent cosmic entity throws them to opposite sides of America — forcing them to run for their lives, discover the supernatural powers within them, and reunite to save the world from The Man From the Dark And Lonely Place.

An action-packed horror-comedy plot is just the beginning; from the opening scene of Sydney and Ingrid’s house exploding before their eyes, Spirit Riser is a no holds barred, orgiastic display of low-budget fun, flair, passion, and artistry, all packaged together in 99 minutes of multimedia monsters and collaborative chaos.

Directed by trans femme ‘video sorceress’ and synth pop visionary Dylan Mars Greenberg, Spirit Riser is a kaleidoscopic adventure film for fans of David Lynch, Gregg Araki, John Waters, Vera Drew, and the myriad unknown art freaks who inspired them. And with a stacked cast of underground artists and alternative comedians including appearances from trans icons Dorian Electra, Kate Bornstein, Patti Harrison and Nat Puff of Left at London, this instant cult classic must be seen to be believed.

Presented in partnership with our friends at Hollywood Babylon.
This screening features fully subtitled spoken dialogue.
