Thy soul shall bear witness: Count Galvorn returns with an old tale of woe, wherein an alcoholic man is visited by the strict master of Death on New Years Eve to reflect on his past transgressions. Considered one of the most seminal works of Swedish cinema and one of the greatest films in history, The Phantom Carriage has had major impact on the artistry of Ingmar Bergman, as well as influence on The Shining (1980) and Nosferatu (2024). Like all tales, this one would not be complete without the ambient and eerie compositions by the Count and the wise musings of host the Frightful Femme.

As is tradition for OFX partners, Justin Jayne takes over the reins for his birthday for a screening of Hot Rod (2007), Andy Samberg’s feature film debut. When health insurance will not cover his stepfather’s surgery, aspiring stuntman Rod Kimble plans a stunt even bigger than Evel Knievel to raise money for the operation. Join us in celebrating Justin’s birthday with this Lonely Island classic about following your dreams and doing a big ass stunt.

On this edition of the martial arts cinema series Fists, Flips, & Falls, OFX partner Keithan Smith hosts The Crippled Masters, a film following two disabled brothers who seek revenge on an evil crime boss by becoming an unstoppable fighting duo. Described as “equal parts exploitation, high camp, and crowd-pleasing action,” this film is a unique and undoubtedly strange entry into the world of martial arts cinema, but one of the few examples of disabled actors playing disabled characters that rides the line of exploitation and representation.

OFX invites you on a field trip to visit our friends at Uncanny Art House, a community art hub in Norman, Oklahoma. Much like OFX, Uncanny is dedicated to building community spaces for the arts, creating inclusive opportunities for artists, and encouraging collaboration across artistic disciplines. Beginning January 9, Uncanny will host “In Dreams,” an exhibition honoring the work and life of David Lynch through March 1.

As part of their programming for the exhibition and 4th Friday Films, OFX is partnering with Uncanny for a screening of Los Angeles Plays Itself, a documentary exploring the ways Los Angeles has been represented and mythologized in film and visual media. OFX will lead a post-screening discussion.

OFX Partner Sean Peel is hosting a brand-new series at OKLAHOMA FILM EXCHANGE - ROBOCOP AT 10PM ON A THURSDAY!

For this month’s Central Oklahoma Labor Federation movie night, OFX presents 10,000 Black Men Named George, a 2002 made-for-TV film that dramatizes the work of union activist Asa Philip Randolph, played by the late Andre Braugher. In the 1920s, Randolph organized the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, the first Black-led union organization to be recognized by the AFL. Coinciding with MLK Jr. Day, A. Philip Randolph and others’ activism would pave the way for the Civil Rights Movement a few decades later, with Randolph seen as one of the most prominent spokespeople of the movement and a collaborator of Dr. King.

In honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day on January 19, for this edition of Docu-Sunday, OFX partner River Lunsford hosts I Am Not Your Negro (2016), an exploration of institutional racism and the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s through the unfinished manuscript Remember This House by James Baldwin. This film by documentarian Raoul Peck reimagines the narrative of institutional racism in the US through Baldwin’s writings and our cultural understanding of popular media depictions of Black identity, a poetic splicing of “history” and “current events” to provoke our ideas of progress and resistance.

On Saturday, January 17, 2026, at 7PM, join Mickey Reece and surprise guests from the original Fall Films collective for a Q&A moderated by TIFF Midnight Madness programmer Peter Kuplowsky, following the second ever Oklahoma City screening of Punch Cowboy (2010).

Mickey Reece dedicates Night 2 to his best friend and closest collaborator, Dustin Sanchez. On January 16, 2026, at 7:00 PM, A Tribute to Dustin Sanchez will open with Children of the Lord, a twenty-minute short on VHS that has never been shown publicly. It will be followed by Dustin’s most acclaimed performance in Tarsus. A Q&A, moderated by TIFF Midnight Madness Programmer, Peter Kuplowsky with Mickey Reece and surprise guests will follow, before the final feature of the evening: Knights of Malice, a film that not only stars Dustin in the leading role but also credits him as co-writer alongside Reece.

On Thursday, January 15 at 7PM, join Mickey Reece and some surprise guests from Climate of the Hunter for a Q&A moderated by TIFF Midnight Madness programmer Peter Kuplowsky following its second screening in Oklahoma. All screenings are first-come, first-serve pay-what-you-can admission.

Welcome back to our monthly Open Mic, on the 2nd Monday of the month, with our special host Alyssa Skaggs!

Musicians welcome! Comedians welcome! Poets welcome! All artists welcome!

Sign-up begins at 6:30PM and the show starts at 7PM.

Join OFX in remembering Rob Reiner with When Harry Met Sally (1989), a romantic comedy film about two people who could not be more perfect for each other, but are stuck (or, at least, one of them is stuck) in rigid ideas of gender roles and relationships. We asked for our patrons’ favorite Reiner films, and this one was the standout. OFX partner Dalton Stuart hosts this Reiner classic in memoriam of a great filmmaker lost too soon.

Following a slate of films that can only be described as evil, OFX takes it down a notch, with this downbeat Coen Brothers joint about a struggling folk singer, Llewyn Davis, played by Oscar Isaac in his breakout role.

Wouldst thou like to live deliciously? OFX partner Justin Jayne hosts the first feature film of filmmaker Robert Eggers and actress Anya Taylor-Joy, which depicts the bleak world of colonial New England. A family has been banished from their Puritan settlement and tragedies begin to befall the family. Their paranoia ramps up, all unaware that something far more sinister lurks beyond the trees. We conjure thee to come to OFX.

Described as “horror in the purest sense of the word,” Cure (1997) questions the existence of ontological violence and natural capacity for evil. Join OFX partner River Lunsford for one of his favorite films, the progenitor of 2000s J-horror, and the grandfather of Memories of Murder (2003) and Zodiac (2007).

Dear Chat Rats of OKC, OFX is pleased to present an exclusive screening of “God’s Country,” an original production by dance theater ensemble PYDANCE, based on the album “God’s Country” by Chat Pile. Chat Pile will be in the house hosting, so come experience this unique opportunity with them and the community. Tickets are first-come, first-serve pay-what-you-can. Admission proceeds will be donated to PYDANCE to help fund their 2026 season.

You’re invited to join friend of OFX Paris Burris as she hosts this hidden gem from Karyn Kusama, a tonal departure from her previous work in Jennifer’s Body, but no less riveting.

BradChad Porter returns to OFX with a new show. The End is the beginning.

What can we say that hasn’t already been said? You know the drill. OFX partner Breigha Czajkowski hosts this one, and it’s also their favorite film.

For the first OFX screening of 2026, join partners Hannah Collins and River Lunsford for Kon Satoshi’s Tokyo Godfathers (2003), a “twisted sentimental story” about found family, coincidences, and Christmas miracles.

To close out the year, OFX partner River Lunsford presents to you Eyes Wide Shut: Stanley Kubrick’s final film with then-married Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, and River’s favorite film.

Celebrate the upcoming New Year with OFX partner Rachel Lobaugh with Day of the Beast, a Spanish film described as “if Mel Brooks had directed The Omen.”

When a rogue priest discovers the exact date The Antichrist will be born, he enlists a Death Metal record store clerk and a cheesy TV psychic for an urban spree of “gore, sacrilege and twisted humor” to prevent the Apocalypse by summoning Satan himself.

Dear Reader, our very own Count Galvorn has a special Christmas surprise for you: a crossover of Tales from the Past and Church of Cinema, on a divine mission to present to you the 1928 masterpiece The Passion of Joan of Arc.

Do not just watch—experience—this landmark film, featuring a legendary performance from Renée Falconetti as Jeanne d’Arc and masterful direction from Tales alum Carl Theodor Dreyer, accompanied by a live original score from Count Galvorn. Our host, the Frightful Femme, will lead us through the tragedy and passion of a teenage girl’s faith amidst her condemnation for heresy and impending execution.

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that an audience in possession of good taste, must be in want of a Cam Crush.

For this month’s edition of Cam Crush, Cam Hunter presents to us Pride & Prejudice (2006), which may or may not be your favorite P&P adaptation, but no one can deny its grip on pop culture and our perception of romance. Twenty years later, we still have heart eyes for Keira Knightley’s Elizabeth Bennet and gush over Mr. Darcy’s whole hand thing.

Prepare for the 2026 Nitty Gritty Film Festival with a curated retrospective of short film favorites from 2025. Nitty Gritty Film Festival is an unconventional film competition showcasing the underseen and underappreciated works made with blood, sweat, and tears.

Spend your Boxing Day with OFX and our aptly programmed matinee of The Boxer (1997), where a former IRA volunteer played by Daniel Day-Lewis is released from prison and attempts to live a straight life amongst continued violence in Northern Ireland. Should DDL have become a professional boxer after this? Only one way to find out.
