The perfect last minute Xmas gift: give your special someone a cute ball of fur and don’t worry about where it came from. Just don’t put it under bright lights, don’t get it wet, and whatever you do, please, please don’t feed it after midnight…
Gremlins began life as a horror movie but mutated into a big budget family entertainment – somehow retaining its genuinely vicious teeth. One of the most astringent, least sentimental directors around, Joe Dante fashioned it as an anti-Christmas film, inserting mischievous riffs on such seasonal classics as It’s a Wonderful Life, The Wizard of Oz and Phil Spector’s Christmas Album, trashing parochial small town Americana, consumerism, greed, and in a particularly delicious conceit holding up his rampaging signifiers as a mirror image to the ravenous, popcorn-belching movie hordes.

East of Eden
Salinas, 1917. Cal Trask's forlorn attempts to win the affection of his self-righteous father (Raymond Massey) represented James Dean's first leading role in the cinema, and his emotionally raw performance ennobled misunderstood youth everywhere.
Jesse Zubot in Concert
Using a violin, viola and miscellaneous electronics, and incorporating multiple sounds and techniques that relate to his work as a film composer, Jesse Zubot promises a unique and thrilling concert, followed by a preview of the the new BC film Inedia.
Rebel Without a Cause
Kids turned bad in the 1950s -- and their newly comfortable middle-class parents couldn't understand why. Ray points the finger right back at them: "You're tearing me apart!" rails Jim Stark (James Dean), speaking for his generation.
Super Happy Forever
This beguiling film depicts a man’s return to the Japanese seaside town where he met his now-deceased wife five years earlier. He tries to relive the past, and in the film's final section -- a flashback to 2018 -- the audience is afforded that privilege.
