Facets Cinematheque revs up its Facets Night School series this weekend. For the next five weekends you can see a cult film at midnight on Fridays & Saturdays, paired up with a lecture on the film's themes by a Facets employee, author, or scholar. Tonight's the kickoff film, and it's a special screening: Sisters of No Mercy, a film made by two Night School regular lecturers. See the series trailer here. Full details in Slowdown. See the full schedule at the Facets website.
