Our screening of Cecil B. Demented on the 14th of August will feature an introduction by season co-curator Ronja Blight.

An insane action-comedy about a young lunatic director and his devoted cult of cinema terrorists who kidnap a movie goddess and force her to star in their underground movie. Vowing to punish the crass sins of commercial cinema, fueled by revolutionary zeal and their self-imposed sexual frustration, Cecil B. DeMented and his guerrilla production crew invade the streets of Baltimore to shoot their no-budget epic. When Cecil says Action, he means action! Nothing is going to stand in his way.

Cast:
Melanie Griffith, Stephen Dorff, Alicia Witt, Mink Stole, Michael Shannon
