AGFA Movie Hooky Club IMAX Matinee Screening: DUELLE (1975)
March 31, 2026, 3:00 P.M.
The Michelle & Kevin Douglas IMAX Theater, RZC 119, Robert Zemeckis Center for Digital Arts, 3131 S. Figueroa Street, Los Angeles, CA 90007
The second installment of a four-part series that was never completed, Rivette's film is a haunting fantasy about two goddesses (Bulle Ogier and Juliet Berto) who descend to contemporary Paris and battle for possession of a magic stone that will allow them to remain on earth. The plot decodes into a conflict between the magical and the realistic cinema -- Lumiere versus Melies -- and Rivette works out this contradiction in long takes that encompass enigmatic situations and mysterious characters. Darker and quieter in tone than Rivette's better-known CELINE AND JULIE GO BOATING, though just as inventive and cryptically intelligent.
AGFA Movie Hooky Club IMAX Matinee Screening: A BAY OF BLOOD (1971)
April 7, 2026, 3:00 P.M.
The Michelle & Kevin Douglas IMAX Theater, RZC 119, Robert Zemeckis Center for Digital Arts, 3131 S. Figueroa Street, Los Angeles, CA 90007
After having established the giallo genre with BLOOD AND BLACK LACE in ‘64, Mario Bava once again forever alters the horror landscape with A BAY OF BLOOD in ‘71. This primal scream of a film doesn’t merely hint at what’s to come later in its decade with TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE and HALLOWEEN. Rather, it bursts onto the scene as *the first slasher*, fully formed, without threadbare hallmarks of anything labeled with the “proto-” prefix. A BAY OF BLOOD seriously delivers the goods in the slasher thrills department, and was the source material for two of FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 2’s greatest kills…this thing’s even set at a lakeside cabin (hint, hint!) Whether you’re a first-time or repeat viewer of A BAY OF BLOOD, you owe it to yourself to luxuriate in this newly-restored masterpiece.
AGFA Movie Hooky Club IMAX Matinee Screening: THE RED LIGHT BANDIT (1968)
April 14, 2026, 3:00 P.M.
The Michelle & Kevin Douglas IMAX Theater, RZC 119, Robert Zemeckis Center for Digital Arts, 3131 S. Figueroa Street, Los Angeles, CA 90007
Director Rogério Sganzerla became the face of the underground Cinema Marginal movement when he released his explosive debut RED LIGHT BANDIT and changed Brazilian cinema forever. Based on a real-life Robin Hood figure who roamed São Paulo in the 1960s, the film follows bandit Jorge as he runs rampant across the city in a spree of robberies against the upper class, demeaning the local police and stealing the hearts of the people in the meantime. Blending potent sociopolitical critique with splashes of grindhouse madness, RED LIGHT BANDIT is a gleeful and angry middle finger to anything that stands in its way.
ALL THAT'S LEFT OF YOU
April 14, 2026, 6:30 P.M.
Norris Cinema Theatre at the Frank Sinatra Hall, 3507 Trousdale Parkway, Los Angeles, CA 90007
A deeply moving, multigenerational drama, All That's Left of You follows a Palestinian teenager who gets swept into a protest in the Occupied West Bank and experiences a moment of violence that rocks his family. The film unfolds as his mother recounts the political and emotional threads that led to that fateful moment. Spanning seven decades, the film traces the hopes and heartaches of one uprooted family, bearing witness to the scars of dispossession and the enduring legacy of survival. Jordan's Official Selection for the 98th Academy Awards.

Far from home and haunted by visions, a Maori woman uncovers gruesome secrets inside an English manor. A bold, unsettling gothic tale of identity, memory, and colonial reckoning.
AGFA Movie Hooky Club IMAX Matinee Screening: THE CHURCH (1989)
April 21, 2026, 3:00 P.M.
The Michelle & Kevin Douglas IMAX Theater, RZC 119, Robert Zemeckis Center for Digital Arts, 3131 S. Figueroa Street, Los Angeles, CA 90007
In medieval times, a band of crusaders massacre a village of supposed devil-worshippers and build a large cathedral atop the mass grave to keep the evil sealed within. But when a mysterious crypt is accidentally opened centuries later, a group of tourists and staff find themselves trapped inside the church with the spirits of the slaughtered and possessed by the demonic forces one-by-one. Legendary Italian horror maestro Dario Argento (SUSPIRIA) presents this stylish shocker from director Michele Soavi (CEMETERY MAN), featuring an orgy of nightmarish visual effects and a memorable score from Goblin, Keith Emerson, and Philip Glass.
AGFA Movie Hooky Club IMAX Matinee Screening: DOGRA MAGRA (1988)
April 28, 2026, 3:00 P.M.
The Michelle & Kevin Douglas IMAX Theater, RZC 119, Robert Zemeckis Center for Digital Arts, 3131 S. Figueroa Street, Los Angeles, CA 90007
From Japanese cult visionary Toshio Matsumoto (FUNERAL PARADE OF ROSES) comes another masterful cinematic exploration of memory and identity from one of the country’s greatest experimental minds. An amnesic young man awakens in an asylum to learn that he has been charged for killing his bride on their wedding day. Driven to learn more about his condition, his doctors proceed with a series of experimental treatments to tap into his familial history and, thus, find the source of his violent impulses. As the lines between fantasy and history begin to blur, the man must grapple with the truths of both his past and present to free himself from the burdens of his illness. With its kaleidoscopic style and enigmatic tone, DOGRA MAGRA is Matsumoto in top form: mystifying, intelligent, electrifying.
AGFA Movie Hooky Club IMAX Matinee Screening: YOKOHAMA BJ BLUES (1981)
May 5, 2026, 3:00 P.M.
The Michelle & Kevin Douglas IMAX Theater, RZC 119, Robert Zemeckis Center for Digital Arts, 3131 S. Figueroa Street, Los Angeles, CA 90007
Blending the neo-noir cool of Altman’s THE LONG GOODBYE with the existential melancholy of Visconti’s DEATH IN VENICE, Japan’s undersung ‘80s detective film YOKOHAMA BJ BLUES is a powerful examination on obsession and the weight of never letting go. Washed-up singer and private investigator BJ (Yusaku Matsuda, BLACK RAIN) spends his days listlessly wandering through life, haunted by the ghosts of old cases and desperate to forget. When a shocking murder rocks him back to life, he's quickly drawn back into the city's dangerous criminal underworld in his hunt for the truth. With its beautifully muted cinematography and nuanced queer subtext, neo-noirs rarely come as accomplished and confident as YOKOHAMA BJ BLUES.
