About Me
LOOK TO THE LEFT FOR TRAILERS AND CLIPS FROM UPCOMING FILMS!
For 6 years now, The Psychotronic Film Society of Savannah has served as the area's only non-profit film society dedicated solely to screening cult, indie, experimental and fringe cinema from around the world. They specialize in programming two types of films - those never before released in the USA, and those which have, but which likely have never been seen by the average viewer in a public setting.
Every Wednesday night, they show an amazingly diverse selection of
features in the intimate, 50-seat, screening room environment of the award-winning Sentient Bean Coffeehouse and Vegetarian Restaurant on the Southern end of Forsyth Park - and occasionally screen major films on 35mm at the historic 1,200-seat Lucas Theatre for The Arts, and on video at the Jepson Center for The Arts' 220-seat theater and the Jewish Education Alliance's 300-seat auditorium. To date, these selections have included first-run films on the festival circuit, little-known gems from decades past, and extraordinarily rare "lost" films which exist only in the hands of diehard private collectors.
Whether these are horror or sci-fi flicks, dramas, comedies, mysteries,
thrillers, film noirs, musicals, martial arts movies, concert films,
documentaries, "grindhouse" pictures, foreign films or avant-garde,
experimental art-house pics, as long as they're good examples of their
genre, The PFS shows them all!
The PFS has been profiled on Georgia Public Broadcasting, in glossy culture
mags such as Murmur, The South and Savannah Magazine, and in newspapers such as Connect Savannah and the Savannah Morning News. It was even recommended in the New York Times as a "must-do" event while visiting the town's Historic Downtown.
We've also been instrumental in The Sentient Bean being named "Best Indie Film Venue In Town" by the readers Connect Savannah.
Join us for some of the strangest and most enjoyable films you never knew existed!
