In this formally freewheeling adaptation of Vladislav Todorov’s novel, The Spinning Top, internationally renowned, Oscar-nominated animator Theodore Ushev constructs a visually distinctive dystopian future. Ushev’s first live-action fantasy feature incorporates silent cinema techniques, Steampunk aesthetics, and animated sequences into its picaresque fairy tale about love and humanity, all set against a race against time.

*This event is a rental, and tickets are cash only if purchased from the box office on March 17. Normal Mayfair prices and memberships do not apply.

*Please take note that doors open 30 minutes before showtimes. We encourage people to arrive early. We have a small box office, a small candy bar, and a single-screen cinema, meaning that when most of an audience shows up a few minutes before showtime, it causes a bottleneck. If possible, we appreciate you arriving a little bit early to pick out your seat and get your popcorn. Thanks for your help!
