The second of two powerful screenings, “Eddington” will show at The Frida Cinema, Orange County’s only non-profit art house movie theater.
From the twisted mind of writer/director Ari Aster springs “Eddington,” his surrealist (or is it?) nightmare time capsule comedy. Stick around after the screening for a very special Q&A with the film’s Production Designer – Elliott Hostetter (Spring Breakers, The Neon Demon, Bones & All).
In May of 2020, a standoff between a small-town sheriff and mayor sparks a powder keg as neighbor is pitted against neighbor in Eddington, New Mexico. Hindsight is 2020.
Starring an all-star cast of Joaquin Phoenix, Pedro Pascal, Emma Stone, and Austin Butler, the film debuted at this year’s Cannes Film Festival and was released just this past Summer.
Attendees will be invited to an informal reception following the Q&A.
