About this event
About the Series A late-night series featuring cult classics, fan favorites, recent releases, and the best in modern genre films. Saturdays at 10pm during the semester. TICKETS FREE for UI Students $8.00 Members | $10 Public After Hours is presented by The Bijou Film Board a student film group at the University of Iowa. In this fictional documentary, U.S. prisons are at capacity, and President Nixon declares a state of emergency. All new prisoners, most of whom are connected to the antiwar movement, are now given the choice of jail time or spending three days in Punishment Park, where they will be hunted for sport by federal authorities. The prisoners invariably choose the latter option, but learn that, between the desert heat and the brutal police officers, their chances of survival are slim.
