On the Radar: Cronos at the Dalí and Beyond Film Series

Posted by Franki Weddington on Aug. 28, 2009, at 12:00 am

Welcome to On the Radar, where we preview up-and-coming arts events to mark your calendar for. Today’s edition is another installment in the Dalí and Beyond Film Series, screening next Thursday at the museum.

See Guillermo del Toro’s Cronos, the lastest addition to the Dalí and Beyond Film Series’ collection of sometimes surreal, usually weird movies. This visually striking film retains del Toro’s characteristically creepy style and borrows from vampiric lore to tell the tale of an alchemist who discovers the secret of immortality. Cronos is del Toro’s debut film, paving the way for Hell Boy and Pan’s Labyrinth. Thurs., Sept. 3, 6 p.m., Salvador Dalí Museum, 1000 Third St. S., St. Petersburg, $5 after 5 p.m., salvadordalimuseum.org. – Joe Bardi

On the Radar: Global Lens Film Series

Posted by Franki Weddington on Aug. 20, 2009, at 12:00 am

Welcome to On the Radar, where we preview up-and-coming arts events to mark your calendar for. Today’s edition is next week’s one-night-only screening by the Gasparilla Film Festival.

The 2009 Global Lens Film Series continues with a screening of the Ecuadorian drama My Time Will Come. The film, a dark tale of a morgue physician who is better equipped emotionally to deal with the dead than the living, should also serve as a visually compelling introduction to Ecuador’s capital city of Quito. My Time is directed by Víctor Arregui, who made some waves at 2003 film-fests with his debut film Outside, and screens only once at the Tampa Pitcher Show. Sun., Aug., 30, 2:00pm, Tampa Pitcher Show, 14416 N. Dale Mabry Hwy, Tampa, $5, free for GIFF members, gasparillafilmfestival.com. —Joe Bardi
