CAM at the Movies: Flesh for Frankenstein
Friday, August 288:30–10:30 PMTicketed through Jengo’s PlayhouseJengo’s Playhouse, 815 Princess St., Wilmington, NC 28401
CAM at the Movies invites guests to Jengo’s Playhouse for a curated film series featuring screenings and conversations inspired by CAM exhibitions and interpretive initiatives. Presented in partnership with Cucalorus Film Foundation, each event offers an opportunity to experience cinema in an intimate setting and continue the conversation after the credits roll.
This screening features Flesh for Frankenstein, starring Udo Kier and produced by Andy Warhol.
Within the decadent walls of the Frankenstein mansion, Baron Frankenstein and his assistant, Otto, believe they have discovered the means of creating new life. As the laboratory fills with stitched body parts and the household descends into chaos, the film unfolds as an outrageous blend of horror, satire, dark comedy, death, and dismemberment.
Following the screening, guests are invited to remain for a special discussion exploring the film and its place within Andy Warhol’s creative legacy.
Tickets are available through Jengo’s Playhouse.

Boundless Tour in the PNC USCT Park – Free with Museum Admission

Step into history with a guided tour of Boundless, a life-size bronze sculpture by artist Stephen Hayes. Located in PNC USCT Park on CAM’s grounds, this striking monument honors the legacy of the United States Colored Troops (USCT)—the brave soldiers who fought in the Battle of Forks Road during the Civil War in 1865.

The sculpture was created from casts of the features of 11 African American men connected to the site and its story – USCT descendants, re-enactors, veterans, and community leaders. Boundless was unveiled on November 13, 2021, and is on permanent view in the PNC USCT Park on the museum grounds. The sculpture is deeply connected to our community’s history, present, and future.

When: Every Friday from 1:00 PM to 1:30 PM. Free with museum admission.
Your tour will be led by one of our knowledgeable tour guides.
