Perhaps taking its cue from the CAM, the CAC has launched a film series in conjunction with its current Discarded Spider exhibit. On the second Monday of each month, it will pair a horror film with a documentary (ostensibly the horror film is to get you to come and hopefully stay for the documentary?) This was all inspired by the exhibit's conceptual artist Carlos Amorales, whose work highlights the conventions of the horror genre in order to shed light on the everyday elements of horror and beauty around us.
This Monday:
Come and See features a character named "Teenager Florya" who joins a partisan group to fight the Nazis in Byelorussia. He ends up losing his colleagues and wondering through a land of pre-historic forests and man-made terror. Literary enthusiasts are sure to appreciate Masque of the Red Death, which is loosely based on to stories by Edgar Allen Poe. Film buffs can just sit back and critique the cinematography.
