The American Astronaut

<span style="color: rgb(37, 37, 37); font-family: arboria, sans-serif; font-size: 18px;">A midnight movie that captivated audiences at the 2001 Sundance Film Festival, THE AMERICAN ASTRONAUT is a black-and-white space western that fuses deadpan comedy, surreal musical numbers, and lo-fi science fiction into a wholly original vision. Written, directed, and starring Cory McAbee, the film follows an interplanetary trader navigating a rustic, far-flung solar system populated by eccentric characters and strange bargains. Presented on a brand-new 35mm print, THE AMERICAN ASTRONAUT transforms genre conventions into something dreamlike, witty, and unmistakably independent.</span><br style="color: rgb(37, 37, 37); font-family: arboria, sans-serif; font-size: 18px;"><br style="color: rgb(37, 37, 37); font-family: arboria, sans-serif; font-size: 18px;"><em style="color: rgb(37, 37, 37); font-family: arboria, sans-serif; font-size: 18px;">Presented on 35mm.</em>ActionPT1H31MNR2026-10-13USen
