5:30 PM: .ask
Chris VanderKaay (director/writer/actor) will join via Zoom for a Q&A about the film and Found Footage genre talk moderated by Dread Central’s Preston Fassel after the screening!
Chris Vander Kaay, a YouTuber in his mid-40s, takes a mysterious life coach’s advice to be brutally honest with his audience. His channel and life improve, but unforeseen darker consequences soon begin to unfold.
8:00 PM: Noroi: The Curse
Author Preston Fassel will introduce the screening and keep the scares coming with a special horror reading.
Noroi: The Curse was originally released in 2005 and returns to the big screen with a haunting new restoration from the American Genre Film Archive. A mixed media odyssey from prolific filmmaker Kōji Shiraishi, the film examines the strange case of Masafumi Kobayashi—a paranormal researcher who disappeared while making a documentary about “ectoplasmic worms.” This is a twisting, turning Analog Horror project that alchemizes urban legends, supernatural hauntings, and true crime shocks into found footage artistry.
Tickets are on sale now at $13 for members, $15 for non-members and includes admission to both features.
