The Cinema will host a screening of Bor Mi Vanh Chark (The Long Walk, Mattie Do, Laos 2019, 116 min., Lao with English subtitles) as part of Anomaly—The Rochester Genre Film Festival, preceded by Deliria (Tomas Stark, Sweden 2018, 8 min.): "A slow, hot summer afternoon. A father sleeps while his child is drawing with pencils in a crossword puzzle. A wind moves through the grass – something bad is about to happen."

An old man encounters the ghost of a road accident victim, and discovers that his spectral companion is able to transport him back in time. Soon, he sets in motion a plan to convince his younger self to preempt his mother's terminal suffering.

Murder, time travel, and spirituality come together in this enigmatic fable from Mattie Do. The first and only female filmmaker of Laos, Do is one of the most unique voices currently working in genre cinema.
