As one of the most recognizable comedians in show business, Bobcat Goldthwait’s one of a kind brand of comedy has transcended from stage to screen. His stand-up routines riff on politics, divorce, going broke, and his career as a director of film and TV. Though he pokes fun, his inimitable talent for writing and directing is clear in his feature films. Often dark, cynical and violent, they are also identifiable and probing. A true independent, he makes the films that he wants to make, giving him a distinct cinematic voice. All tickets are $3. God Bless America (2012) Directed by Bobcat Goldthwait October 31 - Thursday - 6:30 p.m. Frank has had enough of the downward spiral of American culture. Divorced, recently fired, and possibly terminally ill, Frank has nothing left to live for. But instead of taking his own life, he decides to take out his frustration on the cruelest, stupidest, most intolerant people he can imagine -- starting with some particularly odious reality television stars. He finds an accomplice in a high-school student named Roxy and they embark on a nationwide assault on our country’s most irritating celebrities. Director Bobcat Goldthwait is scheduled to introduce. (2K DCP. 105 min. Rated R.) Willow Creek (2013) Directed by Bobcat Goldthwait October 31 - Thursday - 9:30 p.m. In the tradition of found-footage horror films like The Blair Witch Project, a couple ventures into the woods with a movie camera in search of the truth. The woods here are near Orleans, California, and the quest is to prove/ disprove the existence of Bigfoot. As the film develops a comedic flare while with the Orleans’ residents, the couple is warned of the seriousness of their quest. Bobcat Goldthwait skillfully navigates between a vérité (moc) documentary and genuinely frightening horror, which parallels the tension between believers and non-believers of the Bigfoot legend. Director Bobcat Goldthwait is scheduled to be present. (2K DCP. 80 min. Not Rated.)
