Sunshine and Noir: 1980s L.A. Horror Marathon

Confront some nightmares from the ’80s during this horror marathon at the Aero, part of the LA Phil’s Gen X Festival. The daylong program in Santa Monica features films set in and preoccupied by L.A., including They Live, Society, Slumber Party Massacre, Chopping Mall, Blood Diner and Angel. Expect discussions about the films’ focus on wealth and ambition, as well as where they fell short on representation.
