An opening descent into sound, cinema, and apparition. Detroit filmmakers unveil independent and experimental visions in support of the historic Senate Theater, where all proceeds from the evening help sustain one of the city’s most haunted and beloved cinematic landmarks. Between screenings, breakout organ interludes by Detroit experimental artist CRUNE — described as “a ferocious prayer of music” rooted in theatrical fantasy, industrial ritual, and shapeshifting sound. Throughout the night, immersive figures, surreal interventions, and ritual provocations drift through the historic space as the festival’s first invocation is set into motion.
