Seance Sinema Series
Thursday, February 6, 7:30pm


Seance Sinema is a film series hosted by Beasteena*, a spirit spiritualist who demised from an overconsumption of the absinthe spirit in 1930s prohibition Hollywood. Come with her as she summons phantasmagorical films from the great beyond to terrify, titillate, and transport viewers to the sinematic plane. However, be forewarned. Some who cross into this realm seeking aesthetic bliss have not always returned.... in one piece.
