Wednesday July 6th / AFTER DARK DAY

RUN N GUN 2022: After Dark 1
When: July 6th - Doors at 6pm / show at 6:30
Price: $12

Info:Just because it won’t be dark at 6pm, doesn’t mean we can’t give you a fright, or make you say “What the actual f*ck?!” Inside the Rio, the lights will be down and the shorts will be rolling. This screening is perfect for those with a dark sense of humour, and those that love a solid horror film.

RUN N GUN 2022: After Dark 2: The Dark Strikes Back, After Party @ Zawas
When:
July 6th 2022 - Doors at 8pm show at 8:30
Price: $12

Info: This is the show your mother warned you about. This screening boasts the biggest content disclaimer of the festival, and we are going to see the true depravity of running a festival where “anything goes”.  If you thought the After Dark screening was dark… hold onto your butts. This block is full of spooky films, pitch black comedy, and sh*t you never thought you’d see at a local indie film screening. It’s the block you don’t want to invite your grandma to… unless she’s actually pretty cool. 

We know this screening pairs great with alcohol and a rowdy crowd, which is why we’re heading to Zawas after to celebrate all the wonderful weirdos… and probably decompress.
