On Friday, Sept. 9, at 7:15 p.m., Zinema 2 presents the new coming-of-age picture directed by Aza Jacobs, Terri. The film stars John C. Reilly as a school principal who shepherds the wayward.
Terri (Jacob Wysocki) is having a hard time. His Uncle is more or less comatose and he suffers a ton of ridicule from his classmates due to his weight problem. Chad, played by Duluth’s own Bridger Zadina plays Terri’s miscreant sidekick, who has a nasty habit of scratching his scalp.
Terri is a subtle an honest film that has a knack of creating scenes that make you genuinely wince. Bridger will be flying in to provide a Q&A session after the screening. Will you help us welcome Bridger home?
Zinema 2, 222 E. Superior St.

Bad Bugs at 7p.m. and Compare to Disney (aka **** Mickey Mouse) at 9p.m. Bad Bugs is made up of the films W.B. wish were destroyed. Compare to Disney demonstrates how animators responded to the Disney juggernaut in the 1930s and 1940s. Nyback focuses on three tactics by his competition: Rip him off, beat him to the punch, or make vicious fun of him.. For instance, A Corney Concerto, which pokes fun at Fantasia. All films will be presented in glorious 16mm! For more info and tickets head to: zinema2.com 6bux for one show and 8bux for both. oh yeah and $2 Two-Hearted Zinema 2 222 E Superior St. 722-7300

Truly independent films are made from the gut. One day Mike Plante bought a filmmaker friend lunch. Instead of owing him lunch, why not make a film for that same money? They made a napkin contract with rules to follow. Its easy to support a filmmaker, do what you can. A little goes a long way.
Featuring Lunchfilms by Sam Green, Bobcat Goldthwait, Aza Jacobs, Brent Green, Braden King, Naomi Uman and Lee Lynch, Martha Colburn, Randy Walker and Jennifer Shainin, Nick McCarthy, Jake Mahaffy, Sarah Soquel Morhaim, James Graham and Tom Barndt. Zinema 2, March 19. One week only.

So this fellow Ben Christensen was fairly obsessed with a book titled Malleus Maleficarum, written in the 15th century, it was a guide for those doing the holiest of holy work, witch hunting. He proceeded to make one of the spookiest pictures of all time and break the bank while doing so. The film is from 1922 and Tim Kaiser will be performing an original score for the picture. We will be showing the truncated version that was cut in the sixties as there are no 35mm prints of the uncut version available to us in the US. Tickets are 10 bux and available here
