Friday Night Weird: Sanatorium Under the Sign of the Hourglass

September 26 @ 8:30 pm

$7 – $14

TICKETS

Sept 26

A stop-motion/live-action masterpiece inspired by the works of Jewish-Polish author and artist Bruno Schulz.  A ghostly train journey on a forgotten branch line transports a son, Jozef, visiting his dying Father in a remote Galician Sanatorium. Upon arrival, Jozef finds the Sanatorium entirely moribund and run by a dubious Doctor Gotard, who tells him that his father’s death, the death that has struck him in his country, has not yet occurred and that here they are always late by a certain interval of time of which the length cannot be defined. Jozef will come to realize that the Sanatorium is a floating world halfway between sleep and wakefulness and that time and events cannot be measured in any tangible form. (Stephen Quay & Timothy Quay. 2025, UK/Poland, 1:15, NR)
