Tuesday, January 8
SAN FRANCISCO PREMIERE! The audacious debut feature from the director of the inflammatory (and beloved!) THE COLOR WHEEL, IMPOLEX is an extended riff on Thomas Pynchon’s GRAVITY’S RAINBOW by way of John Huston and Abbot and Costello. It’s the story of a US soldier on a mission to locate and retrieve German rockets and rocket science after the end of World War II. Lost in the woods in an undefined European country, people from Tyrone’s past begin to appear in unusual ways, bearing strange tidings. Dir: Alex Ross Perry. Starring Riley O’Brien, Kate Lyn Sheil and Ben Shapiro. 2009. 35mm. 74 mins. 10pm
