Riddle of Fire
A chimerical, modern-day fairytale that feels like a lost-then-found 80s children's classic.
Screening on 35mm film! Three free-roaming, feral children spend their vacation riding on their dirt bikes, wielding paint guns and creating chaos. One day their sick mother sets them on a journey to fetch a blueberry pie - one made with a speckled egg. But as fables tend to go, a simple task soon becomes an epic journey through a series of side-quests, a chase through the wild woods at night, and eventually a confrontation with a powerful witch and her coven.
Shot on 16mm with a dreamy aesthetic, this story unfolds languid and warm like a long summer day. More details & tickets
