The daring experimenter Dr. John C. Lilly dedicated his life to radical self-investigation and unlocking the mysteries of consciousness and communication. “My body is my laboratory” was the motto, and his research on the language of dolphins and whales – as well as psychedelics and sensory deprivation – assured his own cult status in 20th-century pop culture as the basis for Ken Russel’s Altered States and Mike Nichols’ The Day of the Dolphin. Directors Michael Almereyda and Courtney Stephens, along with narrator Chloë Sevigny, explore the life of a determined scientist and his experiments into the psychonautical unknown. “An illuminating work of cultural archaeology” "Earth Coincidence paints Lilly as a 20th-century polymath, a one-of-a-kind maverick" —THE FILM STAGE Digital Gym Cinema on Facebook / Instagram

"Die Already" is a queer horror comedy that loves the genre it's skewering, gleefully deploying every slasher convention while turning them inside out. It's bloody, it's funny, it's surprisingly sexy, and it has a lot to say about who gets to survive, and who's been writing the script all along. It's Halloween night in a small gay bar in Hillcrest, and Branigan Prescott has exactly one thing on his mind, ending a two-month dry spell. Dressed as Jason Voorhees with meticulous attention to detail and armed with a rubber machete, he's ready for anything. Or so he thinks. When Chase Hardesty walks in dressed as Kevin Bacon's death scene from "Friday the 13th," it feels like fate. Two horror obsessives, same movie, same night. What follows is flirtation, trivia, dancing and the kind of meet-cute that only happens on Halloween. When Chase's partner Jordan arrives and an invitation back to their isolated cabin is extended, Branigan accepts, double dog dared by his best friend Gary into the adventure of a lifetime. But as the night deepens and the storm closes in, the rules of horror movies Branigan knows so well begin to apply with terrifying literality. Somebody has been doing their research. Somebody has been casting. And the final girl, or in this case, the final boy, is going to have to fight like hell to make it to the last frame. Compulsion Dance & Theatre: Website / Instagram
