Sylvain (Pascal Cervo), a devoted projectionist and caretaker of a soon-to-close art house cinema, lives a life consumed by film. Each night, he personally screens a classic 35mm print to sparse audiences—but once the final reel ends, his obsession spills into terrifying real-life rituals. What begins as a melancholic ode to cinema’s fading past slowly transforms into a chilling portrait of repression, legacy, and psychological decay.

The Last Screening is a love letter to films like Peeping Tom, Cinema Paradiso, Deep Red and Maniac, offering a dark and cerebral twist on the slasher/giallo genre, steeped in cinephilic reverence.

Presented by FILAMENT! Filament is a new screening initiative building an audience for independent and art films in Washington DC.
