SATURDAY, MAY 25 – 12 PM to 2 AM
$5 PER SHOW or $25 FULL DAY
Join us for a fourteen-hour-long descent into the mad and macabre with seven hand-picked Gialli ranging from cult classics to unseen gems and unappreciated masterpieces.
The Giallo genre derived its name from the Italian pulp mystery novels ‘Il Giallo Mondadori’ and their recognisable yellow covers (the Italian word for yellow is giallo). The books were so popular that Giallo became synonymous with Italian mystery thrillers. By the 1960s, the genre made its way onto celluloid: hundreds of Giallo movies were produced in Italy between 1963 and 1978. Often featuring a violent murder-mystery plot, a heart-pounding soundtrack and eye-popping colours, Gialli are as stylish as they are mind-boggling.
Day passes are available online for $25. Single film tickets will be available at the door for $5 on a first-come, first-serve basis.
