Enter the Videodrome
Inspired by the underground cinemas of New York, Enter the Videodrome, curated by Vincenzo Nappi, brings a provocative style of programming to the Montreal film scene. Dedicated to the independent, obscure, and unapologetically bizarre, ETV is a space for films that push the boundaries of genre, creating works that share the punk DIY ethos of the internet. Defying categorization, one screening might feature an experimental film about a polyamorous bike courier uncovering dark political secrets in their boyfriend’s closet; another, an absurdist comedy about a dad and step-dad battling for their shared son’s affection. No two screenings will ever be the same!

RATS!
It’s 2007 in Pfresno, Texas. Raphael is in county jail following an arrest for graffiti. He’s a good kid. It’s just graffiti. So you can’t blame Raphael for the events that unfold after his arrest — the sting operation, the FBI… None of it is Raphael’s fault, but it is his problem.
