Killer Films takes on reality, in the true-life story of Brandon Teena, and reality TV, in the remarkably prescient Series 7.

Second feature start time: 9:10 pm. Killer had a breakthrough success with first-time director Kimberly Peirce's Boys Don't Cry, which won an Oscar for Hilary Swank as the transgendered Brandon Teena. (118 mins.)

Daniel Minahan's Series 7: The Contenders is a chilling and often quite funny evocation of a reality-based TV series that literally puts the participants' lives on the line. With Brooke Smith. (86 mins.)
