The hosts trade off selecting a feature (max 2hr) and a short (max 30m). Pay what you will. All proceeds go to a rotating set of causes that befit thematic or pressing/relevant needs.“Savage Messiah (1972), directed by Ken Russell, dramatizes the brief, fervent life of sculptor Henri Gaudier-Brzeska and his intense bond with Sophie Brzeska. His life burned fast — he died young in World War I — but through Russell’s lens, his creative spirit feels explosive, demanding, and ferociously alive. The pacing can be exhausting, but exhaustion is the point.
