San Francisco Film Society Presents Fear(s) of the Dark next Tues., October 21, at Landmark’s Embarcadero Center Cinema. Fear(s) of the Dark, the highly anticipated, beautifully scary, animated portmanteau an glorious black and white, will premiere at 7:30 pm on Tuesday, October 21, at Landmark’s Embarcadero Center Cinema, as an SFFS Special Screening and warm-up to the SFIFF’s animation festival in November.

Co-director Charles Burns (artwork pictured above) is expected to attend the screening and to participate in a Q+A. The film is codirected by Blutch, Charles Burns, Marle Caillou, Pierre di Sciullo, Lorenzo Mattotti and Richard McGuire. Mike Plante, writing for the Sundance Film Festival, describes the film and its portrayal of nightmarish themes and images - spiders, strange noises, hypodermic needles… - as "a loving exploration into the surreal atmosphere of your creepiest dreams. As your emotions get worked over, you won’t jump up; you will sink in."
