Find the streets of SF frightful on All Hallows Eve? Grab some snacks, huddle up and enjoy movie night with us at the Church of Mother Gong. THTHNG: Desolation Unknown is the 1st part of horror trilogy homage to one of the greatest horror films of all-time. Clocking in at 1 hour 20 minutes, Desolation Unknown is also the world's first full length 'film' created in part with AI technology. Only for mature audiences due to disturbing imagery and profanity. By Robbie Martin & Kelly Porter, Music & Sound by Fluorescent Grey. Robbie Martin and Kelly Porter started conceptualizing THTHNG: Desolation Unknown in 2022, using all the generative AI tools they had at their disposal to make the sound effects, voices, music and 4k wide screen imagery needed to make a film. This project is a combination of both their love for the 1980's horror films and the 'uncanny valley' of horror which happens when generative AI tools create wildly unintended results. THTHNG: Desolation Unknown first premiered at the New Parkway Theatre in Oakland, CA on April 22, 2023 to a sold-out audience. There’s also now a sequel: THTHNG II, directed by Martin and written by Martin and Porter. It’s scheduled to premiere Friday, November 13, 2026 at the Center for New Music in San Francisco.

Acacia Confusa + Syrian Rue: Origins, Ancestral Uses, and Ceremonial Practices Jennifer Langford will lead participants through a two-hour workshop exploring Acacia confusa and Syrian rue — two plants with long histories of ceremonial and ancestral use. We’ll look at where these plants come from, how they have been understood and worked with across different cultures, and the traditions and stories that have gathered around them over time. Taking place on Day of the Dead, the workshop offers a fitting moment to consider memory, lineage, and the ways plant knowledge is carried from one generation to the next. The gathering will close with a non-psychedelic tea offering and a guided Yoga Nidra practice. If you wish to avoid ticket fees, please visit the Church of Mother Gong to register in person.

Join us for a free screening of Mondo New York, a hallucinatory downtown cult film that drifts through the strange beauty and theatrical grit of New York’s late-night underground. Part documentary, part fever dream, the film moves through clubs, rooftops, alleyways, and staged encounters with a cast of artists, outsiders, performers, and nocturnal characters. Stylish, fragmented, and unmistakably of its era, Mondo New York is a vivid time capsule of late-’80s bohemia. Part of our Psychedelic Film Series.
