Screening in Las Vegas for one night only! This feature-length horror film introduces you to a chosen family of five queer monsters whose colorful home is invaded by a human killer known as The Smile. Determined to isolate and destroy the monsters one by one, this murderous being can only be defeated if they band together to affirm the power of community and mutual support.

Red Night is inspired by the visually dazzling cinematic universes of giallo films such as Dario Argento’s Suspiria and Deep Red. Directors Beck+Col draw on slasher movies from the 1970s and ‘80s to drive home a bloody tale of subversive resistance against hyperindividualism and capitalist alienation.

The film includes work art by ten artists who foster a sense of community in their practices through education, collaboration and supporting other artists—Tanya Brodsky, Ching Ching Cheng, Sapira Cheuk, Jenny Eom, Vanessa Holyoak, Hea-Mi Kim, Ofelia Marquez, Minga Opazo, Alicia Piller, and Amia Yokoyama. An installation of sets, costumes, and art from the film is on view in the Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art’s ongoing exhibition, Color Made.

The directors will be here for a live Q&A after the screening.

“A bit Eraserhead, a bit Vegas in Space, a lot WTF, this vividly colored, dialogue-free oddity featuring works from numerous visual artists is a true original.”—Dennis Harvey, 48 Hills
