Best Fantastical Film Festivities

Lifted Traces

At the immersive film screenings of Lifted Traces, fandom oozes from every detail. There’s cinematically aligned food, on-theme vendors, and a wonderland of art installations to enjoy around the show. Most centrally, the movies are presented with a new musical score, performed live by local synth-lovers. Hyperreal Film Club founder Jenni Kaye and composer Joey Postiglione launched the project with a 2018 celebration of Akira.
