Finding Lovecraft: Life is a Hideous Thing (Cat Hainfeld, extended trailer, 2011, 10 min.) Explores the life and work of HP Lovecraft, using an innovative mix of narrative and documentary storytelling. A Lovecraft-inspired story unfolds for the filmmakers as we delve into this extraordinary man through archival research and expert interviews.
AM 1200 (David Prior, 2008, 39 min.) Not a Lovecraft adaptation but very LOVECRAFTIAN in feel, AM 1200 tells the story of a man on the run, who finds himself the unwitting pawn of a possessed evangelical radio station and must ask himself whether it is better to reign in hell than serve in heaven, paired with:
Pickman‘s Muse (Robert Cappelletto, 2010, 77 min.) An artist, Robert Pickman, becomes obsessed by visions of unworldly horror, revealed to him through an ancient artifact discovered in an abandoned church.
Films begin promptly at 6pm on both nights at the Rochambeau Library, 708 Hope Street in Providence, RI [map].

Thanks to Craig Mullins of Unfilmable.com for the details! His site is a fantastic place for keeping up with the world of Lovecraft in film. Cheers!
