As part of their year-long Symposium on Metaphysical Enterprises, the collective known as AnOtherWorldlyEnergies presents a participatory film screening called “Giggles In The Shadows.” Join co-hosts Garrett Laroy Johnson and Angela Sakrison as they conduct a live riff-a-long of Claudio Fragasso’s surreal Troll 2, espousing hot takes on this titillating goblin-human-plant drama. Expect a surprise guest to emerge from the virtual undergrowth to provide a close reading of this haunted and enchanted vision of reality. Become alchemified on November 21, 2020 at 6:00 p.m. PST!
