Saturday, October 31, 2026, 2:00 AM - 5:00 AM · The Philosophical Research Society, Los Feliz, Los Angeles
The Philosophical Research Society's 7th House screens all three films of E. Elias Merhige's Begotten Cycle at 2220 Arts + Archives, including the new 4K restoration of Begotten. Composer Gavin Gamboa will attend in person to discuss his original score for Polia & Blastema.
A quietly mystical Los Feliz compound that feels like you accidentally wandered onto the set of a 1930s occult noir. There’s a library packed with esoteric texts, a courtyard that begs for whispered conversations, and a steady calendar of lectures that swing from genuinely mind-expanding to delightfully unhinged. Come for a talk on alchemy or Jung, stay because the energy is strange in a soothing way. It’s cerebral, eerie, and deeply LA in the most charming sense.
