	Noon Blue Apples Jay Lee USA 2003, 103 minutes Fri 2/7, 9:30 @ Roxie Cinema Sa 2/15, 12:00 @ Roxie Cinema
Noon Blue Apples is a mind-bending psychological thriller that dives headlong into the paranoid convolutions of a conspiracy theorist's worst nightmare. Eris, an intense university student, is researching her paper on social phobias. Following a lead, she stumbles upon the diaries of an obscure early 20th Century horror novelist and poet. The strange term "Noon Blue Apples" appears. Once. Twice. Three times. Subversive and discomforting pirate radio transmissions bleed into her stereo headphones as she jogs. The research leads Eris to 23rd Street, and down a flight of stairs to the (literally underground) Chapel Perilous bookstore. There she encounters the eccentric trio who run the store, and they agree to lead her deeper into their world. Soon people seem to be watching her. She follows a path to alien invasions, the Bavarian Illuminati, the Dogon and the Sirius system, the Freemasons and the Priory of Sion and solid evidence that Scott Baio is the Anti-Christ. Synchronicity begins to rip holes in her beliefs, and her vision of reality starts to crumble. Her skepticism is tested as the most enigmatic and dangerous theories start to make sense. She finds herself slipping into a dangerous parallel world of metaphor, chaos and the struggle to control the world. Originally presented at the Sundance Festival on videotape as a work-in-progress, we will present the World Premiere of the finished 35mm film.
