The Late Show: Premiere Reissue!

With the blessing of The Unarius Academy of Science, this is the first theatrical release of THE ARRIVAL, a truly spectacular DIY sci-fi lodestone. In the latter half of the 20th century, the Unariuns were on a radical mission to spread their “interdimensional science of life” and principles of past-life therapy via some of the most wildly inventive public access TV programming ever seen. The culmination of their philosophy is THE ARRIVAL, filmed on a shoestring budget with a time-bending plot, dazzling optical SFX, and a rousing synth score. THE ARRIVAL stands in luminous contrast to the overall darker, conspiratorial air of Eighties culture—and Unariuns claim the film serves as a catalyst to send viewers into transcended states of ecstasy. – American Genre Film Archive

THE ARRIVAL is accompanied by a 30-minute mixtape of iconic, rarely-seen moments from the Unarius video archive.
