This screening took place on Friday, August 26, 2022 at 8:30 pmYukon Theatre

Celebrate the end of Yukon summer with this horror, mystery, thriller classic.

A couple travel to Sweden to visit their friend's rural hometown for its fabled midsummer festival, but what begins as an idyllic retreat quickly devolves into an increasingly violent and bizarre competition at the hands of a pagan cult.

Dani and Christian are a young American couple with a relationship on the brink of falling apart. But after a family tragedy keeps them together, a grieving Dani invites herself to join Christian and his friends on a trip to a once-in-a-lifetime midsummer festival in a remote Swedish village. What begins as a carefree summer holiday in a land of eternal sunlight takes a sinister turn when the insular villagers invite their guests to partake in festivities that render the pastoral paradise increasingly unnerving and viscerally disturbing. From the visionary mind of Ari Aster comes a dread-soaked cinematic fairytale where a world of darkness unfolds in broad daylight.

"It's strange and distressing at times, even a little punishing to audiences, but it's filled with ideas, images, and feelings that will stay with you long after the credits roll. And it's worth every second." - Clarisse Loughrey, Independent UK
