About this Event
This cult science‑fiction psychological thriller follows a troubled, intelligent teenager who survives a jet engine crashing into his bedroom. Haunted by a sinister rabbit named Frank, Donnie faces a 28‑day countdown involving time travel, fractured reality, and a looming apocalypse.
Donnie Darko marked the feature debut of director Richard Kelly. The film features a young Jake Gyllenhaal, alongside Jena Malone, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Patrick Swayze, Drew Barrymore, and Mary McDonnell. Initially overlooked at the box office, it has since become one of the most enduring and widely discussed films of the 2000s.
Celebrated for its haunting atmosphere, iconic soundtrack, and richly ambiguous storytelling, Donnie Darko has become a staple of film studies and cult cinema culture. This screening invites audiences to experience this influential work as it was meant to be seen on the big screen.
