Tormenting the Hen

The Micro-Wave Cinema Series exists to highlight the most adventurous, provocative, and beautiful work being made by young American independent filmmakers. All screenings are free and take place on Sundays at 4070 Vilas Hall.

This will be the FINAL semester of the Micro-Wave Cinema Series in Madison! 

TORMENTING THE HEN (2017) dir. Theodore Collatos

Feature Film. 77 mins. Shot in six days, Theodore Collatos’s new film is a caustic satire of city mice in the world of country mice, where well-meaning urbanites clash with strange townsfolk in country homes, backyards, and local pubs. It’s a roiling, intense story of resentment, jealousy, and independence centered around a disastrous artist’s retreat. Director Theodore Collatos will join us for a Q & A via Skype.
