New 4K Restoration! 30th Anniversary!

One of the great indie debuts of the 90s, Harron’s curiously moving portrait of the notorious Valerie Solanas (a note-perfect Lili Taylor) captures the outsider feminist revolutionary infamous for her S.C.U.M. Manifesto (an acronym for The Society for Cutting Up Men) and her attempted assassination of the king of Pop Art. With Jared Harris, Martha Plimpton, Michael Imperioli and, as Candy Darling, Stephen Dorff.

 Grand Jury Prize, Sundance; Un Certain Regard Award, Cannes

“If you want to know what the Warhol scene was all about, this is even better than the documentaries.”- Jonathan Rosenbaum, The Chicago Reader

“Scrappy, vibrant, unexpectedly touching…This film’s extraordinary centerpiece is Lili Taylor, giving a great, funny, furiously alive performance.” – The New York Times

The Sun, Jun 14 screening at 6:45 benefits Missing Movies, a nonprofit founded in 2023 by a group of eight film industry veterans. Their mission is to bring awareness to the problem of movies becoming unavailable to the general public and to educate current filmmakers on steps they can take to preserve their work. They also advocate on behalf of films that are missing and assist filmmakers seeking to find lost works.
