With a rainy weekend ahead of us, you’d be wise to duck inside for events from JxJury Presents: DhopeDealer. with Blossom, Mal London, Rasheed Jamal, and Farnell Newton to Sasami with Jigsaw Youth and from Hello Sucker! April Comedy Showcase to the in-person return of Indigenous Marketplace.
FRIDAY
FILM
A Boy and His Dog
It’s the far-off year of 2024, and the American southwest has become a desolate post-nuclear desert. Exceptionally horny Vic (played by Don Johnson of Miami Vice fame) roams the land with his telepathic dog, Blood, before being seduced into an underground community where he discovers a mechanized procreation operation. I’ll stop there, but rest assured that it gets even weirder. This 1975 black comedy sci-fi was called “dim-witted” by Gene Siskel, but purportedly inspired George Miller’s later Mad Max films. A portion of the screening’s proceeds will be donated to Anarchist Black Cross groups in Europe providing transport and medical supplies to Ukraine.
(Clinton Street Theater, Hosford-Abernethy, $6)
