CATHODE CINEMA presents: SUROH: ALIEN HITCHHIKER (1996) A lost gem of ’90s experimental cinema that plays like a late-night public access transmission from another dimension. Rarely screened, this surreal queer sci-fi blends video art and outsider energy into something wholly unique. “If the B-52s collaborated with Negativland on an alt-Earth version of STAR TREK, it would feel a lot like SUROH: ALIEN HITCHHIKER. A mixed media hallucination from filmmaker Patrick McGuinn. The story follows Paul (Peter Gingerich), a skeptic who embarks on a spiritual, emotional, and sexual metamorphosis with an extraterrestrial named Suroh. Awash in LSD-tinged visuals and a pulsing acid-house soundtrack, this is a beautiful synthesis of experimental video art and queer exploration.” We’ll open the night with a UFO-themed mixtape, plus a DJ set from Cathode Cinema.
