Secret Screening

Schedule block

What does it all mean, Elwood? If we told you, we'd have to utilize complex Riemannian equations to open a portal in space-time and send a horrible human-faced rat through the 4th dimension into your abdomen to eat you from the inside! Also, it wouldn't be much of a secret. This infamous screening includes classic and hilarious content too crazy to miss. Includes old standbyes (wink), plus new content every year. It's an end of the festival tradition!
