There will be flicks. There will be beer. There will be trivia. It's FREE. What more do you want?!

CinemaStorm returns on Saturday, September 10th! The double feature theme this time around is TWISTED METAL, featuring Sorcerer and Fuel!

William Friedkin’s heart-stopping 1977 thriller SORCERER starring Roy Scheider finds four outcasts from different corners of the world thrust into extreme danger. Their assignment: transport a highly unstable truckload of nitroglycerin 200 miles into the South American jungle to cap a raging oil fire.

Steven Spielberg’s 1971 debut film DUEL is a masterful exercise in tension and terror. The original road-rage classic stars Dennis Weaver as a mild-mannered businessman terrorized on a lone desert highway by the unseen driver of a Peterbilt 281 tanker truck. Written by ‘Twilight Zone’ scribe Richard Matheson.

There will be free flicks! There will be trivia! There will be beer! Come join the cinephile fun!

Exciting News for A Happening IV: Leviathan

Cloudgaze and Eggtooth Productions are thrilled to announce that we have received a generous grant from the Markham-Nathan Fund for Social Justice to support our 2024 Immersive Arts Festival, “A Happening IV: Leviathan.”

This festival will transform the Shea Theater into an exploration of theme, hosting installations, music, theatrical performances, and movement pieces, featuring the collective contributions of over 30 local artists. Audiences will experience otherworldly environments and narratives inspired by folklore, fairy tales, horror motifs, American literature, and the mythos of the Old Testament, all of which delve into the central question guiding the festival: "What does it mean to encounter something greater than yourself and to be consumed by it?" Through this theme, we explore how a community reemerges and imagines itself after destruction and transformation.

With the support of the Markham-Nathan Fund, we are excited to create an event that complicates perspectives and fosters meaningful dialogue. We are grateful for this partnership and for the work of the Markham-Nathan Fund for Social Justice.

Thanks to the Mass Cultural Council for their vital support this year.We'd also like to thank the Community Foundation of Western Massachusetts for their support in the form of a Flexible Funding grant. We couldn't do this work without you!
