Aye aye, Captain!

We're excited to announce that we've added encore screenings of Nobuhiko Obayashi’s 1977 surrealist masterpiece HOUSE this weekend, April 5-6, 11-12, and the Academy Award winning documentary NO OTHER LAND, now screening through April 10th! 🎬️ 🎟️: thefridacinema.org/coming-soon/

Rest in peace to an actor who truly embodied what it meant to be a bonafide movie star, Val Kilmer. With a career spanning superhero blockbusters like BATMAN FOREVER, comedies like TOP SECRET!, and thrillers like HEAT, Kilmer’s charisma and craft will be sorely missed♥️
