Join FIU film studies director Andrew Strycharski at Miami Beach Cinematheque tonight (11/14) at 7:00 PM for a screening of the classic film noir The Killers (1946). Andrew Strycharski’s introductory comments will focus on film noir story structure, the shock of the present and piecing together the past, and the experience of European (and especially Jewish) immigrants and exiles in the aftermath of World War II.

Halloween comes a little early this year as the beginning of October is filled with Halloween spirit. In partnership with O Cinema, Flaming Classics is screening the perennial Halloween favorite Hocus Pocus on October 13th and 14th, because we all know there’s nothing like a classic Disney film with a drag show chaser.

Costumes are welcome and O Cinema encourages you to make this viewing as interactive as possible, so don’t be afraid to sing along.
