To pay tribute to these hardworking women who defy conventions and bring scares, the turn-of-the-millennium classic "American Psycho," directed by Mary Harron, will be featured! Also in honor of Black History Month, the hypnotic actress Marlene Clark will be spotlighted in a repertory screening of "Ganja and Hess," Bill Gunn's rebellious answer to both the Blaxploitation and vampire genres. Join us for both of these rare screenings in honor of this great occasion!NOTE: Discounts for Students, Military, Seniors, and MOPA Members available upon request!
