With Variety magazine stating, in a prescient 1981 review, that its "mass of symbols and unbridled, brilliant directing meld this disparate tale into a film that could get cult following on its many levels of symbolism and exploitation," Polish writer/director Andrzej Żuławski's classic Possession will be screened at Rock Island's Rozz-Tox venue on February 16, Rolling Stone's David Fear also lauding the excitingly edgy work as "a body-horror answer to Kramer vs. Kramer."

An official selection at the SXSW Film & TV Festival, the Denver Film Festival, the Tallgrass Film Festival, and more than a dozen additional gatherings for fans of cinema, the acclaimed documentary Join or Die will enjoy a February 11 screening at Davenport's Figge Art Museum, with audiences invited to follow the half-century story of America's civic unraveling through the journey of legendary social scientist Robert Putnam.

Lauded by the Washington Blade as a "visceral yet lyrical film" and by The Movie Isle as "a strange ride, but in the best possible way," writer/director Jeremiah Zagar's coming-of-age drama We the Animals enjoys a February 15 screening at Davenport's Figge Art Museum, this critically hailed work the recipient of the Sundance NEXT Innovator Award and a nominee for five 2019 Independent Spirit Awards.

This morning's announcement of contenders for the 96th Annual Academy Awards was da bomb. Kind of literally.
