In an era of climate catastrophe, emboldened fascism, and AI slop, our current moment can often feel like something out of an apocalypse movie. Mainstream cinema has often made big bucks off of its doomsday spectacles, but the apocalyptic visions of avant-garde cinema are less recognized. Join us at the Film-Makers' Cooperative for two works of experimental cinema that imagine the end times of their respective eras.
