Celebrate Arthouse Theater Day 2019 with a special one-night-only advance screening of Peter Strickland’s nightmarish new thriller, IN FABRIC! Arthouse Theater Day is an annual celebration of arthouse and indie theaters and the vital role they play in their communities.
A lonely woman (Marianne Jean-Baptiste), recently separated from her husband, visits a bewitching London department store in search of a dress that will transform her life. She’s fitted with a perfectly flattering, artery-red gown—which, in time, will come to unleash a malevolent curse and unstoppable evil, threatening everyone who comes into its path. From acclaimed horror director Peter Strickland (the singular auteur behind the sumptuous sadomasochistic romance THE DUKE OF BURGUNDY and auditory gaillo-homage BERBERIAN SOUND STUDIO) comes a truly nightmarish film, at turns frightening, seductive, and darkly humorous. Channeling voyeuristic fantasies of high fashion and bloodshed, IN FABRIC is Strickland’s most twisted and brilliantly original vision yet.
Art House Theater Day celebrates the art house theater and the cultural role it plays in a community. It is a day to recognize the year-round contributions of films and filmmakers, patrons, projectionists and staff, and the brick and mortar theaters that are passionately dedicated to providing access to the best cinematic experiences.
