This screening is a part of the Canyon Cinema 50 project. Canyon Cinema is thankful for the long term support of the George Lucas Family Foundation.

Wattis Foundation and The Fleishhacker Foundation.

Showcasing the best of a decade of unique programming, the 10th annual Druid Underground is a high-powered blast of rebellious cinema hosted by Billy Burgess!

A spectacle unlike any other, Druid Underground champions subversive techniques that advance the language of cinema, challenge pre-conceived notions of underground art and simultaniously blow your mind out of your skull!

JOIN US for a break-kneck barrage of creative cinema both on and off the underground film radar that Flavorpill says doesn’t so much “defy convention as mow it down, douse it in kerosene, and flick a Zippo at it!”
