Nightcrawler: Bleak Week
Presented in partnership with the American Cinematheque, ‘Bleak Week: Cinema of Despair’ is an annual film festival showcasing some of the greatest works of cinema from across the globe that venture into the darkest sides of humanity and the bleakest points in human history.
The fifth annual edition in June 2026 expands to nearly 100 theaters across the U.S., Canada,U.K. and South and Central America, with each venue presenting its own original curated lineup of uncompromising films defined by unpleasant truths and raw empathy. The Park Theatre is delighted and honoured to take part in this monumental series, and sought selections from local filmmakers and friends of the venue when creating the series.
NIGHTCRAWLER Selected by local filmmaker Zach Lipovsky (FREAKS, FINAL DESTINATION: BLOODLINES)
Los Angeles denizen Louis Bloom (Jake Gyllenhaal) survives by scavenging and petty theft. He stumbles into a new career as a cameraman and -- armed with a camcorder and police scanner -- begins nocturnal forays across the city in search of shocking and grisly crimes. When he catches the eye of a shopworn news director (Rene Russo) who welcomes the chance to raise her station's ratings, Louis goes to increasingly greater lengths to catch the "money shot." With Jake Gyllenhaal, Rene Russo, Bill Paxton.
"A mesmerizing cipher, Lou is a spiritual descendant of Robert De Niro's Travis Bickle in Taxi Driver, and of the withholding protagonists in the existential French crime films of Robert Bresson and Jean-Pierre Melville" (TIME Magazine)
"A gritty urban comedy noir, a scathing, 'Network'-worthy disembowelment of television newsgatherers that will leave you craving a shower." (San Diego Reader)
"Make no mistake, 'Nightcrawler' is a major work for everyone involved." (Film School Rejects)
