Chill in the Air
T’is the season…for a little melancholy, mayhem, and madness! This December, Digital Gym Cinema embraces the darker side of holiday cinema with a collection of films that take you deep into the snowy (and sunny) void.
Their stories of carnal desires, dark fantasies, and unrequited love present us with more honest depictions of the holiday malaise and seasonal chaos that is so often brushed under the joyous decor. So don a Venetian mask, feed your furry little monster after midnight, and bundle up for a week of daring contemporary films that defy cheery convention.
