Special Event! CineMental: Graphic Sexual Horror 9:45 PM Tickets: $10; No passes or discounts. No one under 18 admitted. (2009) Written, directed, edited, and produced by Anna Lorentzon and Barbara Bell. Insex.com, the brainchild of ex-Carnegie Mellon professor and artist, Brent Scott, began broadcasting torture imagery in 1997, long before the recent upsurge in mainstream depictions of so-called "torture-porn." In 2005, as the Bush administration increased its own market share in real torture, the government used the Patriot Act to block Insex.com's ability to process credit cards, thus forcing Insex to close its doors. Graphic Sexual Horror chronicles the rise and fall of this subculture phenomenon, wowing crowds at Slamdance, Hot Docs, and FantasiaFest Montreal in 2009. The documentary becomes an inquiry into consent and government intervention, asking hard questions about the role of money and personal responsibility. CineMental is a series that explores the fringes of queer film, video and groundbr one day only find a trailer find/upload a trailer

My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done? by Werner Herzog (2009, 91 min.). Five Stars! Mesmerizinga singular cinematic object (Kevin Uhlich, Time Out New York). Based on a true story, police officer Hank is called to a bungalow in a respectable San Diego neighborhood where a man named Brad has barricaded himself in his house and taken two hostages. Across the street, Brads mother lies dead, found sprawled in a pool of blood, the victim of a sword wound. The son is suspected of the murder. Slowly the bizarre pieces of the story are placed in front of Hank. The mood and tone Herzog imparts is an eerie blend of David Lynch, who executive produced the film, and his own singular style.
