Tomoya Ogawa’s Cinema Paradiso
1241 Flushing Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11237
On Friday the 13th, Cinema Paradiso descends into the shadowlands with Black Lodge Serenade — a live concert devoted to cinematic horror, psychological dread, and altered states of consciousness.
Cinema Paradiso are curators of cinematic consciousness, channeling music from films where fear lives in the shadows of the mind. The night moves through the fractured dream logic of Eraserhead, the uncanny dualities of Twin Peaks, the erotic menace of Blue Velvet, and the identity collapse of Lost Highway.
Experience the spiraling obsession of Psycho, the cold, relentless pulse of Halloween, and the whispered paranoia of Rosemary's Baby — lullabies where innocence gives way to terror. From there, the descent slips into dystopian and existential horror: the unstoppable pursuit of Terminator, the haunted futures of Blade Runner, the ontological nightmare of The Matrix, the body–mind fracture of Ghost in the Shell, and the prophetic terror woven through Dune.
Woven throughout are themes of obsession, surveillance, possession, and fatal beauty — love songs turned dangerous, nursery rhymes poisoned by dread, and melodies that feel like memories you’re not sure are yours.
This is our love letter to fear, obsession, and the strange poetry of nightmares. Dress to disappear.
