Winnipeg Punk Rock Flea Market and Void Micro Cinema are teaming up for a new screening series featuring the best punk rock movies new and old, from electrifying documentaries on your favourite punk bands to cult classics that have cemented themselves into the pantheon of punk films, and more.    Join us on Wednesday, October 21 at 7pm at Sidestage (700 Osborne St.) for the first screening in the series as we unleash the recent cult classic Green Room, directed by Jeremy Saulnier (Blue Ruin), and starring the late great Anton Yelchin (RIP).    Green Room Directed by Jeremy Saulnier 2015, USA, 95 mins Down on their luck punk rockers The Ain’t Rights are finishing up a long and unsuccessful tour, and are about to call it quits when they get an unexpected booking at an isolated, run-down club deep in the backwoods of Oregon. What seems merely to be a third-rate gig escalates into something much more sinister when they witness an act of violence backstage that they weren’t meant to see. Now trapped backstage, they must face off against the club’s depraved owner, Darcy Banker (Stewart), a man who will do anything to protect the secrets of his nefarious enterprise. But while Darcy and his henchmen think the band will be easy to get rid of, The Ain’t Rights prove themselves much more cunning and capable than anyone expected, turning the tables on their unsuspecting captors and setting the stage for the ultimate life-or-death showdown.   "This underrated 2015 thriller predicted Trump’s America." - Matt Rozsa, Dread Central "A nasty piece of work, a tense Tasmanian Devil tornado of a movie with solid performances and a DIY feel that meshes perfectly with its punk rock heart." - Richard Crouse   Come out to Sidestage, grab a drink and a hotdog, and let's beat back the fascists with this pre-Halloween punk rock survivalist horror film.    Tickets: $15 Doors: 6:30pm Showtime: 7pm Sidestage Winnipeg (700 Osborne St.)
