When Dan and Corinna met for the first time in 2015, by the end of the night, their conversation led to dreaming of putting on underground movie screenings. Spiral Cinema is that dream come to life: a series of movies that portray spiritual or metaphysical journeys.

In a modern world of proliferating screens, surveillance, reality TV, algorithms, and ads that show what you were just talking or thinking about, The Truman Show has stood the test of time and become even more prophetic. In a career-high performance, Jim Carrey plays Truman as someone undergoing an awakening and seeking the truth at any cost. A movie experience that will have you questioning the nature of reality and if your life is just an elaborate, orchestrated stage.

There will be time afterwards to share reflections about the movie.

This is a free screening with a limited number of seats. RSVP required.
