Cinema Minima teams up again with The Cinema Culture for an evening of full-on morbidity in 10 short films. October signifies the beginning of the season of death. As Halloween and All Saints’ Day approach, nature dies around us only to be reborn again. This two hour celebration of grotesquery and dying celebrates all that is this wonderful and eery Autumn month.
The Cinema Culture promotes and exhibits the work of film and video artist at various events, hosts small festivals, and programs exclusive shows. Erika Kubick is a co-curator at The Cinema Culture. As a death and taxidermy enthusiast, Erika is always looking for ways to commemorate mortality artfully and charmingly. She resides in Wicker Park.
The Cinema Culture will also be screening video in an installation and at Cole’s on Sat Oct 13 for SQUARED! an art walk + more!
