Glowing + Q&A
Experimental | 2026 | 78MIN
GLOWING by Beth B is not just a film, but an immersive, genre-defying experience that blurs the boundaries between documentary, narrative, experimental cinema, and music video. Eight fearless artists step into the frame — their voices raw, their stories electric. As poets, musicians, and performers reveal deeply personal truths, their stories collide and intertwine, forming a powerful, living dialogue with the audience. What unfolds is not simply storytelling, but an invitation: to feel, to witness, to connect.
Drawn from lived experience, Glowing journeys through darkness and into transformation — where pain becomes art, and struggle ignites into radiant self-expression. Through hypnotic visuals and an electrifying score by Jim Coleman, the film pulses with emotional intensity, reflecting the inner worlds of its subjects — raw, unfiltered, unforgettable. Glowing is a cinematic awakening.
From love and loss to identity and power, from the echoes of childhood trauma to the scars of war, Glowing dares to confront what lies beneath. Yet even in its most shadowed moments, it refuses despair — instead illuminating flickers of resilience, liberation, and hope. In the face of the unknown…we burn brighter.

Peculiar Puppets vol. XIII (in Glorious 16mm)
Puppet | Various | 90 min.
Peculiar Puppets vol. XIII (in Glorious 16mm)
As filmmaking grew into a popular and profitable medium, the ancient art of puppetry enjoyed a brand new resurgence. Throughout the first half of the 20th century, some animators created stop-motion films in which puppets came to life and magically moved on their own. Filmmakers also made more straightforward films featuring live marionettes and hand puppet performances. A bit later, when early television producers needed quick and affordable entertainment for child-oriented programming, show runners looked towards hand puppets and marionettes for an easy solution.
Roxy Cinema hereby presents our 13th 'Peculiar Puppets' retrospective of forgotten vintage short films featuring hand puppets, ventriloquist dolls, marionettes, and stop motion creatures—all filmed in the 1930s through the 1970s. This peculiar potpourri of unnamed surprises is programmed by early animation archivist and historian Tommy José Stathes, and prints are hand-selected from his personal 16mm film archive. Warning: You may find some of the offerings to be rather unsettling, and possibly even creepy! 90-minute film presentation includes an intermission and will be followed by a live Q&A session with Stathes.
