On the centenary of Pasolini’s birth, join us for a special screening of his masterpiece Medea.
On a quest to retrieve the fabled Golden Fleece, Jason and the Argonauts arrive at a remote barbarian land where the natives worship the sacred artifact to protect the crops. But, unexpectedly, as Medea – a beautiful high priestess and the land’s powerful sorceress – betrays her beliefs to follow Jason back to Greece, a cruel fate awaits her. As a result, deserted and banished by the king, it’s only human that Medea plots her furious revenge.
