THE DAILY RUNDOWN is a quick look at just a few of the cool screenings and film events happening around the U.S. every day. It is not intended to be an exhaustive, comprehensive list, but a sampling of the terrific genre cinema available to check out at your local art house, megaplex, film society, and repertory theaters.

FRIDAY, JUNE 30, 2017 (All show times are local)

Cinefamily in Los Angeles is screening a 35mm print of the stream-of-consciousness horror-fantasy hybrid VALERIE AND HER WEEK OF WONDERS at midnight. Tickets and info can be found here.
