Tonight, May 30th, at 7:00pm, we hope you’ll join us for the TransInternational Shorts Block, a curated-by-us block on trans short films! Featuring five films by seven total directors, this shorts program brings together filmmakers separated by time, space, and nationality, but untied in a common focus on transness and the trans body. Featuring films that are over 30 years old, to films that are still on the festival circuit, we are excited to bring each of these shorts to Kansas City for this special screening. Doors open at 6:30pm. Come join us for an evening of intimate reflection on the self, and also just a good time. This program does feature adult content and is age restricted to 18+. (fb)

Mankind fucks around with outer space and finds out in the birth of Hammer Horror! Tonight @ 7pm. the Horror Pod Class continues their exploration through a century of fright films with their Yearbook series, covering one movie from each decade from 1925 through 2015. For 1955, we've got it all: Rocket ships, grouchy scientists, and invisible, bodiless space vampire squid. Before Quatermass and the Pit, before Horror of Dracula or Curse of Frankenstein, the soon-to-be-legendary Hammer Films dipped their toes in the icy waters of horror with some early sci-fi thrillers, including this absolute banger from the pen of podcast favorite Nigel Kneale. Join Orrin and Tyler for a FREE screening of this sci-fi classic, then stick around afterward as we discuss body horror, gross monsters, how much Nigel Kneale disliked this movie, and much more!
