What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?

Synopsis:

Calgary Cinematheque Presents: What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? (1962)


The most representative film of the “hag-sploitation” genre, What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? famously cast two old-school divas, Joan Crawford and Bette Davis, in what became a classic psychological horror thriller. Former child star Baby Jane Hudson (Bette Davis) lives with her sister Blanche (Joan Crawford), a former Hollywood queen. Bound by mutual love and hate, Baby Jane’s increasing madness leads to shocking consequences.

Astutely directed by Robert Aldrich and featuring two once A-list actresses in roles that both exploit and celebrate their legacies, What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? is a must-see for any serious film fan. It was nominated for five Oscars, including Best Actress.


Genre: Drama, Horror

Director: Robert Aldrich  
Stars: Bette Davis, Joan Crawford, Victor Buono                 
Running time: 2 hr 14 min

Dead Mountaineer's Hotel

Synopsis:


Globe Cinema Presents: Dead Mountaineer's Hotel (1979)

From the writers of Andrei Tarkovsky's STALKER (1979) comes a Soviet/Estonian psychedelic paranoid murder mystery that plays like a cross between Alfred Hitchcock and Dario Argento. 

This icy genre-bending ‘70s Eastern European whodunit with a superb minimalist electronic score has been a long-standing cult classic waiting to happen. When Inspector Glebsky arrives at a remote ski chalet on vacation, the last thing he intends to do is get involved in police work. 

He's there to ski, drink brandy and loaf around. But he hadn’t counted on the other vacationers: an eccentric bunch including a famous hypnotist, a terrorist, a physicist with a penchant for gymnastic feats, a sulky androgynous teen and the mysterious glammed-up Mr. and Mrs. Moses. The strange, poetic rhythm of DEAD MOUNTAINEER’S HOTEL and its is best absorbed on the big screen, with a throng of equally entranced audience members at your side.

Genre: Mystery, Thriller

Director: Grigori Kromanov
Stars: Uldis Pucitis, Juri Jarvet, Lembit Peterson

The Devils - Poster

The Devils

Synopsis:


Globe Cinema Presents: The Devils (1971)

The most controversial film of the 1970s was banned across the world for its deliriously overheated, shockingly blasphemous tale of sexual frenzy and demonic possession in a seventeenth-century French convent. 

Based on Aldous Huxley’s novel “The Devils of Loudun” and John Whiting’s play “The Devils,” Ken Russell’s X-rated spectacle of the depraved stars Vanessa Redgrave as a hunchbacked nun whose lust for priest Father Grandier (Oliver Reed) sets off a perverse witch hunt and unleashes an orgy of sadomasochistic sacrilege.

Genre: Drama

Director: Ken Russell
Stars: Vanessa Redgrave, Oliver Reed, Dudley Sutton      
Running time: 1 hr 44 min

D Movies: Things

Synopsis:


The Dandy Brewing Co. Presents: D Movies - Things (1989)

In 1989, it became the first Canadian shot-on-Super 8 gore shocker commercially released on VHS. Today, it remains perhaps the most bizarre, depraved and mind-boggling chunk of 'Canuxploitaion' ever unleashed upon humanity. 

Adult Film Superstar Amber Lynn and Co-Writer/Producer Barry J. Gillis star in this surreal saga about two friends who visit a remote cabin, only to discover a womb of monstrous horror that demands graphic dismemberment. 

It's an inexplicable orgy of eye ripping, beer guzzling, boob baring, skull drilling, sandwich making, chain sawing, bad acting and post-sync dubbing from Co-Writer/Producer/Director Andrew Jordan that has spawned its own disturbing cult of fans. Some will be repulsed. Others may be transformed forever. But you have never seen anything like Things.

The Dandy Brewing Company raises a cold beer to cinema’s most glorious trainwrecks in all their cringe-worthy splendor. Trash classics and a full-sensory experience for lovers of the unlovable. Bad Movies, Great Booze, every month from Dandy Brewing Co.

Genre: Horror

Director: Andrew Jordan
Stars: Barry J. Gillis, Amber Lynn, Bruce Roach                 
Running time: 1 hr 25 min 
Rating: 14A (Gory Violence, Coarse Language)

Soundtrack to a Coup D'Etat - Poster

Soundtrack to a Coup D'Etat

Synopsis:


Blackbyrd Myoozik Presents: Soundtrack to a Coup D'Etat (2024)

2025 Oscar® nominee for Best Documentary Feature. United Nations, 1960: the Global South ignites a political earthquake, jazz musicians Abbey Lincoln and Max Roach crash the Security Council, Nikita Khrushchev bangs his shoe, and the U.S. State Department swings into action, sending jazz ambassador Louis Armstrong to Congo to deflect attention from the CIA-backed coup. 

Director Johan Grimonprez captures the moment when African politics and American jazz collided in this magnificent essay film, a riveting historical rollercoaster that illuminates the political machinations behind the 1961 assassination of Congo’s leader Patrice Lumumba. Richly illustrated by eyewitness accounts, official government memos, testimonies from mercenaries and CIA operatives, speeches from Lumumba himself, and a veritable canon of jazz icons, Soundtrack to a Coup d’Etat interrogates colonial history to tell an urgent and timely story of precedent that resonates more than ever in today’s geopolitical climate.

Genre: Documentary, Music

Director: Johan Grimonprez
Stars: Patrice Lumumba, Dag Hammarskjold, Louis Armstrong                  
Running time: 2 hr 30 min 
Rating: PG (Mature Subject Matter)

Hard Core Logo - 30th Anniversary National Canadian Film Day Free Screening - Poster

Hard Core Logo - 30th Anniversary National Canadian Film Day Free Screening

Synopsis:

The Calgary Underground Film Festival Presents: Hard Core Logo - 30th Anniversary National Canadian Film Day Free Screening


Bruce McDonald’s beloved cult classic is now celebrating its 30th anniversary! This pseudo-rockumentary follows punk band Hard Core Logo on a harrowing and hilarious last-gasp reunion tour.

For this year's annual CanFilmDay event, join us on Wednesday, April 15 for a FREE screening of HARD CORE LOGO with director Bruce McDonald in attendance the night before the 2026 Calgary Underground Film Festival officially begins.

Joe Dick, Billy Tallent, John Oxenberger and Pipefitter are Hard Core Logo, Vancouver’s legendary but now defunct punk band. Joe Dick coaxes his former bandmates to overcome personal differences and reunite for a benefit concert for their aging punk mentor Bucky Haight, who had been shot in Saskatchewan. The enormous success of their coming out of retirement/benefit gig prompts Joe Dick to urge a reunion tour. A documentary film crew headed by Bruce McDonald accompanies them on tour through the pristine landscape of Western Canada. On stage, the Hard Cores are brilliant. However, as the tour unfolds, the band’s old, buried tensions erupt, and the boys are faced with the raw fact that they cannot relive nor alter the past. A raw, realistic look at a band; the music that binds them, the love and anguish that tears them apart and the tour which takes them there.
