Our next screening will be a night of horror shorts: THE QUIET ROOM (2018), THE MARK OF LILITH (1986), and AXEL'S NIGHT (2024).

Featuring pre-recorded and post-film Q&A with Isaiah Rice (AXEL'S NIGHT) and Bruna Fionda, Polly Gladwin, Zachary-Nataf (THE MARK OF LILITH).

Axel’s Night (2024, dir. Isaiah Rice)

After a gig in downtown Atlanta, Axel — the fiery lead guitarist of a rock band — leaves with a flirtatious fan only to find himself plunged into a night that refuses to go according to plan. Axel’s Night bends desire, risk, and darkness into an electrifying, haunted evening.

The Mark of Lilith (1986, dirs. Polly Gladwin, Bruna Fionda, and Zach Nataf)

Zena, a Black lesbian researcher of monstrous women, meets Lillia, a white bisexual vampire, at a horror film screening — and their encounter awakens new power, desire, and danger. The Mark of Lilith reclaims the vampire myth through a distinctly Black feminist and queer lens.

The Quiet Room (2018, dir. Sam Wineman)

After a suicide attempt, Michael awakens in a hospital among fragile patients — and soon believes he has unleashed Hattie, a demon that preys on suicidal souls. As he fights her horrors, he must also confront grief, desire, and his will to survive.
