We'll start the year getting back to the land and dreaming of the rich greenness of Summer. Please join us for a heartwarming journey to the farm with "The Biggest Little Farm". The film is a stunningly beautiful look at the joys - struggles - hardship - and bounty of working the land.

Casket Cinema kicks off our 11th season with a special Friday night screening. We will be showcasing 2 sneak peeks of clips from docs about population and parent (or non-parent) hood. The films are “8 Billion Angels” and “To Kid or Not To Kid”. Each film is still in post-production and will be premiering at festivals next year. After the screening we will be simulcasting conversations with the filmmakers. This unique evening is the brainchild of Casket Cinema veteran Dave Gardner and casket co-founder Wilbur Ince.

The National Pyrotechnic Festival in Tultepec, Mexico is a site of festivity unlike any other in the world. In celebration of San Juan de Dios, patron saint of firework makers, conflagrant revelry engulfs the town for ten days. Artisans show off their technical virtuosity, up-and-comers create their own rowdy, lo-fi combustibles, and dozens of teams build larger-than- life papier-mâché bulls to parade into the town square, adorned with fireworks that blow up in all directions.

Join Casket Cinema for a journey through 30 years of Burning man!
Dust & Illusions explores 30 years of history of the Burning Man event. Born in the underground of San Francisco in the 1980s, the festival became the largest counter- cultural event in North America. It is unique in that it is created by the people who come to the event, the participants, not the organizers, and in that sense it has survived its original ideals/utopias, but the ideas have been eroded by time, pressure from the larger society. The film is a look at this necessary evolution and expansion and questions our ability to stand behind those ideals over a lifetime.

Casket is pleased to expose Exposed! Get ready to start your year off right with something a little raunchy and a little raw. EXPOSED looks at eight boundary-breaking burlesque stars who use their naked bodies as canvases. These cutting-edge artists combine politics, satire, and physical comedy to challenge the audience's notions of gender identity, disability, and sexuality.

Casket CInema embraces our softer side and knits our way into your heart with our next screening, “YARN”. This icelandic documentary brings us up to date with what is going on wool culture, anything from yarn bombing in the streets of New York, its use in the circus and yarn as a quasi-tool of the euro-feminist movement.
