Local cop Melanie Scrofano gets a big scare while examining a dead body in a new Collider-exclusive sneak peek from the first episode of Revival. In addition to the dead rising from their graves in the new horror series, she's also dealing with a mysterious murder.

Revival will premiere on SyFy on Thursday, June 12, at 10 p.m. Et; it will stream on Peacock next week.

It's an icy night in the Wisconsin woods when small-town cop Dana Cypress (Scrofano) stops to investigate a dead animal by the side of the road. It shows no sign of life...but she gets the scare of her life when local fitness enthusiast Lester (Peter Millard) pops up behind her.

Celebrated London post-punks Dry Cleaning are back with a new song, “Don’t Press Me,” which will appear on their upcoming second album, Stumpwork, out Oct. 21 via 4Ad.

The 8th annual Wndx Festival of Moving Image is another epic celebration of experimental and avant-garde film held in Winnipeg, Canada, but this year the festival as an even epic-er retrospective of one of the giants of the field: Wndx fellow countryman Michael Snow.

Wndx is screening multiple works by Snow throughout the fest, which runs Sept. 25-29, including his classic and breakthrough films like Back and Forth and La Région Centrale; plus, other experimental works such as To Lavoisier, Who Died in the Reign of Terror, Sstoorrty, Triage and Prelude. However, most exciting is the 12-hour continuous loop of “Wvlnt” (Wavelength for Those Who Don’t Have the Time), a superimposed reworking of Snow’s groundbreaking and legendary Wavelength.

The festival isn’t limited to one filmmaker clearly and there are loads of experimental short film programs during the week that feature work by filmmakers such as Aaron Zeghers,...
