A celebration of the most controversial films ever made.


Join us for a limited time screening of the most controversial, banned, and censored films. Our up ranges from Disney’s 1946 cartoon Song of the South, to the international heckling of Seth Rogen in his film, The Interview, and to the excessive gore of Cannibal Holocaust. These films have not been on a big screen since their first release. We selected movies, mostly, banned in the U.S. mixed with foreign films.
