This poetic final film from Andrei Tarkovsky (Stalker, Solaris) is a moving testament to the power of faith, rapturously filmed (in both color and black and white) by Sven Nykvist, who won a special prize for this effort at the Cannes Film Festival. A former actor has retired to the remote countryside with his family. Confronted with the threat of nuclear annihilation, he strikes a bargain with a mysterious woman in a desperate bid to save humanity. (1986, 148 min, digital)

  • clipping at Brava Theater Sept. 11
    Sub Pop recording artists 'clipping.' brought their brand of noise-driven experimental hip hop to the closing night of 2016's San Francisco Electronic Music Fest this past Sunday. The packed Brava Theater hosted an initially seated crowd that ended the night jumping and dancing against the front of the stage. The trio performed a set focused on their recently released Sci-Fi Horror concept album, 'Splendor & Misery', then delved into their dancier and more aggressive back catalogue, and recent single 'Wriggle'. Opening performances included local experimental electronic duo 'Tujurikkuja' and computer music artist 'Madalyn Merkey.'"
