SPOTLIGHT on BOB WEIR featuring a screening of the 1972 documentary FILLMORE: THE LAST DAYS: This rock 'n' roll documentary looks at San Francisco's Fillmore West concert hall, a music hub in the 1960s that saw established and up-and-coming performers play to packed houses.

Faced with an unplanned pregnancy, an offbeat young woman makes an unusual decision regarding her unborn child.
Dog Day Afternoon, the 1975 film directed by Sidney Lumet and starring Al Pacino, remains a high-water mark of New Hollywood, with some of the best talent of the day coming together on a film that's truly exceptional. But did you know it was all based on a true story? In her latest book Born To Lose: The Making of Dog Day Afternoon, film historian Rachel Walther draws on extensive archival research to delve into the film’s backstory, tracing how an unbelievable true crime tale of love, bank robbery, and LGBTQI+ activism became a box-office smash and catapulted a group of Brooklyn outsiders into the media spotlight. Walther’s deep dive interrogates the film’s place in the 1970s zeitgeist, set against a background of antiwar activism and the fight for gay and trans rights, and in doing so shows its continuing relevance today. Join the author in conversation with Noir City's Audra Wolfmann, followed by a screening of Dog Day Afternoon. Presented by Litquake DOORS 7:00 PM DISCUSSION 7:30 PM FILM 8:00 PM $15 ADV | $20 DOOR

MOViES FOR MANiACS is thrilled to present the Bay Area Theatrical Premiere of NUMBSKULL REVOLUTION (2026) w/ filmmaker Jon Moritsugu IN PERSON! Hosted by Jesse Hawthorne Ficks The new film by underground legends Jon Moritsugu and Amy Davis is a "punk rock Blade Runner for artists." Nine years in the making, this is their most epic, fully-realized, and visionary motion picture, even witnessing the end of their marriage and 35-year creative partnership: My Degeneration (1990), Terminal USA (1993), Mod Fuck Explosion (1994), Fame Whore (1997), Scumrock (2002), Pig Death Machine (2013). "Amy Davis and James Duval (“Frank the Bunny” from Donnie Darko) play a pair of rival conceptual artists battling for fame and funding in the near-future dystopia of Shitville, Earth. As one ascends the heights of neoliberal capitalist success, the other seeks inspiration and solace in the euphoric waves of a new cyber drug called Skullfuck. Ingenious production design and savvy location shooting evoke the urban sprawl and rural industrial collapse against which the filmmakers frame this scathing satire of art world pretension." -Paul Malcolm Senior Public Programmer UCLA Film & Television Archive/Hammer Museum Shot over 16 days in 2017 in Santa Fe, NM & Marfa, TX, NUMBSKULL REVOLUTION (2026) is ostensibly a riff on the absurdity of art, warfare of people and sexes, material control/secular terror, addictions of every genre, and self-actualization thru internal Jungian conflict, this movie - at its most base level - is a full-on and mega-entertaining cinematic odyssey tinged with ludicrous sci-fi, raw poignancy, and utter brutalism. Soundtrack by Plack Blague, Crime, Carlo Anthony, Sex Headaches, Meri St. Mary, Nunu & Low on Fire. **Don't miss a gaggle of giveaways with Jon Moritsugu who will give a post-film Q&A for this ultimate final goodbye... a “thank you, dear” for all the good times.

What happens when you wake up the morning after leaving the most important rock band of all time? In April 1970, Paul released his first solo album, McCartney, alongside a shocking press release that announced the beloved band had split. When asked what he’d do next, he said his only plan…was to grow up. Man on the Run captures Paul’s transformative decade in the wake of The Beatles’ break-up. Through stunning archival footage, Linda McCartney’s exceptional photographs, and interviews with Mick Jagger, Chrissie Hynde, Sean Ono Lennon, Mary and Stella McCartney, all the living Wings members, and of course Paul himself, the film examines this time through a uniquely vulnerable lens. Includes a bonus conversation with Paul McCartney & director Morgan Neville, exclusive to cinemas.
