8 pm Oct. 28th

The Fly (1958) vs. The Fly (1986) projected simultaneously. In the 1958 version, Andre, a scientist working on teleportation, accidentally merges his own atoms with those of a fly. He winds up with the fly's head and arm, and the fly winds up with Andre's head and arm. Croenberg's The Fly (1986) is more of a re-conceptualization than a remake. It deals with themes of disfigurement, the darker aspects of human emotions and behavior, and a doomed love affair.
