“A vibrantly colorful, wildly nihilistic and lovingly perverse poem to America’s beautiful, libidinous and doomed youth..” – Variety
Following April’s edition of monthly Film Trivia Night, stick around for a late-night screening of Nowhere (1997), the candy-colored apocalypse that caps off Gregg Araki’s iconic Teenage Apocalypse Trilogy.
Programmed by Syd Wrigley in partnership with her ongoing trivia series, this special screening invites audiences to test their film knowledge—and then plunge headfirst into one of the most chaotic cult films of the 1990s.
Set over the course of one surreal day in Los Angeles, Nowhere follows a sprawling constellation of disaffected teens as they drift through parties, hookups, conspiracies, and existential dread—all while the world itself seems to be unraveling. Packed with alt-rock attitude, alien encounters, outrageous cameos, and Araki’s signature mix of nihilism and neon pop, the film is a defining artifact of ’90s indie cinema.
Come for trivia, stay for the end of everything.
Gregg Araki, USA, 1997, 82 mins, DCP
STAFF PICK
Programmer Syd Wrigley: “I chose to screen Gregg Araki’s 1997 masterpiece Nowhere because it feels relevant now more than ever! It is so important to see queer representation in film, and Nowhere rejects the typical digestible queer story for large audiences to enjoy. It’s gross, horny, violent, but is also earnest and vulnerable in its depiction of what it was like to be a young adult—in a way that feels applicable to what young people entering adulthood are feeling today. This is my favorite film of all time, and I can’t wait to watch it on the big screen with everyone.
