Vidiots Cinema Selects: Mustang

SHOWTIMES:
Fri. 4/15: 7:30pm

For one weekend a month, the newly renovated Vidiots Annex will be transforming into the VIDIOTS Cinema Selects micro-cinema, presenting special limited runs of new independent films, handpicked and personally recommended by Vidiots' staffers.

With 30 years of trusted movie recommendations under our belts, VIDIOTS Cinema Selects is upping the ante, seeking out and presenting unique, daring and entertaining films that demand to be seen on a big screen, with an audience. VIDIOTS Cinema Selects will bring the theatrical experience inside the video store with multiple showtimes and (reasonably priced) soda, candy and popcorn!

Our selection for April is Mustang, an Academy Award nominee this year for Best Foreign Language Film and winner of 6 Cesar Awards, directed by Deniz Gamze Erguven. Early smmer in a village in Northern Turkey. Five free-spirted teenaged sisers splash about on the beach with their male classmates. Though teir games are merely innocent fun, a neihbor passes by and reports what she considers to be illicit behavior to the girls' family. The family overracts, removing all "instruments of corruption," like cell phones and computers, and essentially imprisoning the girl, subjecting them to endless lessons in housework in preparation for them to become brides.

All proceeds go towards the Vidiots Foundation, a non-profit 501(c)3 organization dedicated to the cinematic and media arts in the form of preserving and protecting our collection of over 50,000 rare and classic VHS, DVD and Blu-Ray titles.

Vidiots celebrates cinema and the vitality of independent art through education, archival preservation and accessibility. The Vidiots Foundation connects people to experience evolving media, taking video store culture into the 21st century.
