A profoundly yellow space with two yellow vinyl chairs on either side of a yellow couch. Two costumed yellow figures sit on the chairs, reacting in shock to a third yellow figure who stands between them. Al three figures are costumed like beautiful monsters, with extravagant ruffled torsos, pointed feet, and long fluffy fingers. The face of the standing figure, however, is red with blood. More blood is spattered over the couch.

Film Screening + Live Q&A With The Directors: Red Night

Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art Auditorium
Tuesday, March 25, 2025
7:15 p.m.
Free
 
 
 
Screening in Las Vegas for one night only! This feature-length horror film introduces you to a chosen family of five queer monsters whose colorful home is invaded by a human killer known as The Smile. Determined to isolate and destroy the monsters one by one, this murderous being can only be defeated if they band together to affirm the power of community and mutual support.
 
Red Night is inspired by the visually dazzling cinematic universes of giallo films such as Dario Argento’s Suspiria and Deep Red. Directors Beck+Col draw on slasher movies from the 1970s and ‘80s to drive home a bloody tale of subversive resistance against hyperindividualism and capitalist alienation.
 

The film includes works of art by ten artists who foster a sense of community in their practices through education, collaboration and supporting other artists—Tanya Brodsky, Ching Ching Cheng, Sapira Cheuk, Jenny Eom, Vanessa Holyoak, Hea-Mi Kim, Ofelia Marquez, Minga Opazo, Alicia Piller, and Amia Yokoyama. An installation of sets, costumes, and art from the film is on view in the Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art’s ongoing exhibition, Color Made.

The directors will be here for a live Q&A after the screening.

“A bit Eraserhead, a bit Vegas in Space, a lot WTF, this vividly colored, dialogue-free oddity featuring works from numerous visual artists is a true original.”—Dennis Harvey, 48 Hills

About the Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art
The Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art believes everyone deserves access to art that challenges our understanding of the present and inspires us to create a future that holds space for us all. Located on the campus of one of the most racially diverse universities in the U.S., we strive to create a nourishing environment for those who continue to be neglected by contemporary art museums. As the only art museum in the city of Las Vegas, we commit ourselves to leveling barriers that limit access to the arts. Our collection of artworks offers an opportunity for everyone to develop a deeper knowledge of contemporary art in Southern Nevada. The Barrick Museum is part of the College of Fine Arts at the University of Nevada Las Vegas.
