Free Film Screening: Kin Dza Dza

7:00 - 9:00 PM

Join us for a free screening of Kin-dza-dza!, Georgiy Daneliya’s strange, funny, and deeply original 1986 Soviet sci-fi cult classic. Two ordinary men are accidentally transported to the desert planet Pluke, where matches are precious, social hierarchies are absurd, and almost everything seems to operate according to rules nobody bothered to explain. Dry, surreal, and unexpectedly philosophical, Kin-dza-dza! is equal parts dystopian satire, cosmic road movie, and deadpan comedy. Part of our Psychedelic Film Series. Wednesday, September 16 at 7 PM Live Worms / Church of Mother Gong 1345 Grant Ave., San Francisco Free admission

Brutal Sound Effects Festival #102

8:00 - 11:00 PM

Brutal Sound Effects Festival #102 lands at Live Worms Gallery / The Church of Mother Gong for the first time — an evening of adventurous sound, unruly electronics, noise, performance, and other excursions into the experimental. This edition brings together Joseph Hammer (LA), Bullshit Detector, Rat Diet, Lime Rickey International, Ploc Munster, and Lime Eyelid for a night of strange sounds, unexpected turns, and performances that move between the abrasive, hypnotic, playful, and surreal. A longtime fixture in San Francisco’s experimental underground, the festival occupies its own peculiar territory: part concert, part gathering, part controlled accident. For Festival #102, that strange little universe takes over Live Worms in North Beach for the first time. Show starts at 8pm sharp! Plan to arrive in North Beach early if you're driving, as parking is hard to find! $6-10 cash or Venmo at the door if you wish to avoid additional fees.

Free Film Screening: I Drink Your Blood

7:00 - 9:00 PM

Join us for a free screening of I Drink Your Blood, David E. Durston’s infamous cult horror film from the psychedelic exploitation era. A band of Satanic hippies descends on a nearly deserted small town, where a young boy’s revenge scheme involving rabies-tainted meat pies goes spectacularly wrong. What follows is a feverish collision of counterculture paranoia, grindhouse horror, black comedy and pure early-’70s delirium.

The Memory of Plants: Acacia Confusa + Syrian Rue

4:00 - 6:00 PM

Acacia Confusa + Syrian Rue: Origins, Ancestral Uses, and Ceremonial Practices Jennifer Langford will lead participants through a two-hour workshop exploring Acacia confusa and Syrian rue — two plants with long histories of ceremonial and ancestral use. We’ll look at where these plants come from, how they have been understood and worked with across different cultures, and the traditions and stories that have gathered around them over time. Taking place on Day of the Dead, the workshop offers a fitting moment to consider memory, lineage, and the ways plant knowledge is carried from one generation to the next. The gathering will close with a non-psychedelic tea offering and a guided Yoga Nidra practice. If you wish to avoid ticket fees, please visit the Church of Mother Gong to register in person.

Free Film Screening: Mondo New York

7:00 - 9:00 PM

Join us for a free screening of Mondo New York, a hallucinatory downtown cult film that drifts through the strange beauty and theatrical grit of New York’s late-night underground. Part documentary, part fever dream, the film moves through clubs, rooftops, alleyways, and staged encounters with a cast of artists, outsiders, performers, and nocturnal characters. Stylish, fragmented, and unmistakably of its era, Mondo New York is a vivid time capsule of late-’80s bohemia. Part of our Psychedelic Film Series.
