Reel Rituals is a series of semi-regular, affordable film screenings dedicated to overlooked, forgotten, and underseen cinema. Rooted in Erie’s DIY spirit, we bring films to life in rotating venues across the city, turning each screening into a unique, communal experience. Accessibility and education are central to our mission. By working with venues to keep events low-cost and approachable, we aim to remove barriers and invite broader audiences into film culture that may otherwise feel inaccessible. With a focus on horror, science fiction, cult, and genre cinema, Reel Rituals celebrates these works as both entertainment and cultural artifacts - sparking conversation, encouraging discovery, and building a community around films that deserve to be experienced time and time again.
