Standard Fantastic Pictures

Join us every first Thursday of the month from Memorial Day to Labor Day for a monthly film screening curated by Standard Fantastic Pictures’ (SFP) Omar Lopex. The screening will include a feature film inspired by our special exhibition "Celia Álvarez Muñoz: Breaking the Binding" and local SFP shorts. Like Álvarez Muñoz, Standard Fantastic Pictures examines the nature of the border and embraces an ‘artivistst’ (art + activist) perspective in art-making.

June 1: Days of Heaven (1978) and local SFP shorts by Hugo Crosthwaite: CARAVAN (2022) and Tía Juana Mi Amor (2020)

July 6: The Saddest Music on the World (2003) by Guy Maddin and local SFP film Ana, Who They Pulled Out of the River (2022) by Omar Lopex
