screen oddities
a/perture is excited to present the return of our cult film series guaranteed to delight, frighten, and fascinate – come tremble and glee at the odd pleasures of screen oddities – a new (but old) cult selection every month to sink your very strange teeth into and enjoy.
By nature, cult films are hard to define. Some are obscure and seldom see the light of day (the inexplicable Tammy and the T-Rex), while others have become permanent pop-culture icons and beloved mainstream favorites (we’re looking at you Mean Girls). This is what we’ll be exploring in screen oddities. Come get weird and celebrate the bizarre, wacky, and wonderful realm of cult films.
screen oddities is a part of our Revivals Programming, a sponsored project of the Arts Council of Winston-Salem & Forsyth County and funded through ARPA supported by the Forsyth County Board of Commissioners.
