Happy April! I got some spring in my step this month and I'm excited to unveil what's coming to the Independent Picture House in the bloomy season!

As always, tickets are available at our website

From now until April 11th, we're showing the Reading Rainbow documentary, Butterfly In The Sky, along with indie dramedy Lousy Carter and the Chaplin-inspired slapstick comedy Hundreds of Beavers. Be sure to catch those before they leave us!

Playing now, but sticking around a little longer is Exhuma, a genre-bending Korean horror film that will rattle your bones. We also have Wicked Little Letters, a stranger-than-fiction true story about profanity and the written word in a small town.

Opening on April 10th we have Indigo Girls: It’s Only Life After All, a documentary about the Atlanta, Georgia folk rock duo that made waves in independent music and are now revered as LGBT icons. On April 12th, we're opening Remembering Gene Wilder, a documentary about one of our medium's best actors and comedians. With this, we're also screening Young Frankenstein and Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory.

In continuing with our repertory features, we're also screening the 45th anniversary of Dawn of the Dead, a classic zombie film that Romero used to expand on his original vision and in essence create the modern zombie film. On April 14th Macbeth opens, the Justin Kurzel film from 2015, as part of UNC-Charlotte's Shakespeare program.

On April 18th, Sasquatch Sunset explodes onto the scene, a film you have to see to believe, showcasing a different kind of humanity. The next day on the 19th, we're showing The Beast, a sci-fi thriller from France about AI that rocked the Toronto International Film Festival. Speaking of TIFF, the very same day, we're also opening The People's Joker, a film that was effectively banned after it's riotous debut in Canada. Vera Drew's parody film has been referred to as both a "brilliant anarchic mess" and "unwatchable". I am personally thrilled to see a queer film set in Gotham City and I am eagerly anticipating the release.

Our last film in the GRINDHOUSE film series, Freeway II: Confessions of a Trickbaby opens on April 19th, featuring a very early Natasha Lyonne performance. It's a grimy crime film about "living in the fastlane". On April 25th, We Grown Now opens, a slice of life film about the joys and hardships of growing up in a public housing complex in Chicago. We're also opening Luca Guadagnino's Challengers on the 25th, a Zendaya-starring film about the trials and tribulations of love and tennis.

The next film in our CZECH series Daisies opens on April 27th, a dadaist film about two girls exploring their femininity through pranks and destruction. And finally, continuing the UNC-Charlotte Shakespeare program, we're showing Shakespeare in Love, the 1997 Best Picture-winner starring Geoffrey Rush and Gwyneth Paltrow.

That's it! As always, we may add some more, so be sure to follow us on social media (links in bio and on website) and come kick it with us! April showers means movie dates, and that means YOU. See you at the cinema!
