### **ABOUT THE FILM:**

Acclaimed director George Stevens’ legendary rendition of the quintessential Western myth earned six Academy Award nominations, and made SHANE one of the classics of the American cinema. The story brings Shane (Alan Ladd), a drifter and retired gunfighter, to the assistance of a homestead family terrorized by a wealthy cattleman and his hired gun (Jack Palance). In fighting the last decisive battle, Shane sees the end of his own way of life. Mysterious, moody and atmospheric, the film is enhanced by the intense performances of its splendid cast.

Join us in the microcinema for one of the best films of the year and a masterwork of international cinema &#8211; Rafael Manuel&#8217;s phenomenally composed deadpan social satire *Filipiñana*. With jaw-dropping shot composition, immaculate color coding, a biting and satiric wit, and a slow deliberateness that builds to a shocking ending, this is a dazzler on another level with class consciousness to boot. If Ruben Ostlund and Wes Anderson had a Filipino baby, it still wouldn&#8217;t be as good as *Filipiñana*! Don&#8217;t miss your chance to see this stunner on a big screen!

Amid stifling heat and pervasive drought, Isabel (Jorrybell Agoto), a 17-year-old Ilokana from the rural north, works at a posh country club outside Manila, lining up golf balls for powerful men to drive into the verdant horizon. New to the job, she wanders the immaculate grounds sampling its luxuries as members, including an industrialist and his expatriate niece, the club president and his pampered wife, and a slew of Chinese tourists, engage in a complex dance with the club’s doting and subservient staff. But something is rotting beneath the pristine fairways of the elite resort, as Isabel discovers when she tries to return a mislaid golf club to its patriarchal director, Dr. Palanca (Teroy Guzman). The deeper she journeys into its most exclusive corners, the closer she gets to the violent truths of the club, her native Philippines, and her own past.

One of Disney’s most delightful and beloved films of the 21st century, the animated fantasy *Encanto* is overflowing with unforgettable characters, colorful adventures, and hum-worthy tunes. The Madrigals are a family living in a mystical house in the mountains of Colombia, and each member of the clan has their own special power — all except for teen daughter Mirabel (voice of Stephanie Beatriz), still disappointed that she’s the only ordinary one. But when their magical world faces a new threat, Mirabel seizes her chance to be a hero after all. María Cecilia Botero, John Leguizamo, Mauro Castillo, Jessica Darrow, Diane Guerrero, and Wilmer Valderrama also lend their voices, and Lin-Manuel Miranda contributes eight original songs (including the impossibly catchy “We Don&#8217;t Talk About Bruno”).

A sweet and effervescent charmer that feels like a cinematic breath of fresh air, this magical little film of love, loss, family, and acceptance will melt even the iciest of hearts. Oliver meets the irreverent and unpredictable Anna only months after his father Hal Fields has passed away. This new love floods Oliver with memories of his father, who, following the death of his wife of 44 years, came out of the closet at age 75 to live a full, energized, and wonderfully tumultuous gay life – which included a younger boyfriend and an adorable pup. Smart, funny, and endlessly charming, it&#8217;s never too late to start falling in love with *Beginners* all over again!

### **ABOUT THE FILM:**

Ten has just been released from prison and must register as a sex offender – but a broken-down van and encounters with many obstacles in the form of other LA residents will test his resolve and force us to ask ourselves if anyone can ever be forgiven.
Perhaps the most daring and risky film in the program, TEN WILL is Max DeFalco’s feature debut and a statement of intent as bold and daring as that of Sean Baker or the Safdie brothers – unravelling at a breakneck speed with an incredible array of interesting and unusual characters (a lot of them cast right off the streets of the city!), this is a film designed to make you uncomfortable, to make you squirm and yet somehow retain some of the most humane beats any story can hope for.
Please be warned – viewer discretion is definitely advised.

### **ABOUT THE FILM:**

If you go down to the woods today… Get the gang together, grab a few beers and go off the beaten track – what better way to spend the summer break? You know it’s not going to end well.

But our carefree young twenty-somethings Ziggy (Grace Van Dien), Rich, Katie, Kimberly and Fitz don’t know that. They have the whole summer, and their whole lives, ahead of them. And so they cross a barbed wire fence to go camping and lake swimming off-grid in unexplored forest – what could possibly go wrong…

Pretty soon they lose their way, tempers flare and the friends realize how completely alone they are. What’s more: the forest, under the spell of some strange animus, is starting to come alive around them. Even the ground seems to have its own will, opening and swallowing whole anything and anyone who dares step foot upon it. Every trembling step could be their last.

From the Producers who brought you 47 METERS DOWN and FALL, and filmmakers Kevin Kölsch and Dennis Widmyer, THE SWALLOW is an entertaining riot from start to finish – an ingenious, innovative spin on the survival thriller, and a visceral, skin-crawling feast for genre hounds.

*Do you read Sutter Cane?* One of horror master John Carpenter&#8217;s best films outside of the 1980s, this prophetic Lovecraftian mind-bender is a nightmarish mystery that draws you into parallel universes of horror. Sam Neill plays an officious insurance investigator who is brought in to investigate the strange disappearance of Sutter Cane, the country&#8217;s most popular horror author. As he digs into the mystery, he discovers that Cane&#8217;s writing is causing a literary psychosis that&#8217;s spreading to all who read his twisted tales and destroying humanity and even reality. A film made to be seen in a theater (to enhance its metaness), *In the Mouth of Madness* is one of the best horror films on the 1990s and a perfect vehicle to show off both Carpenter and Neill&#8217;s ranges!

### **ABOUT THE FILM:**

*In Spanish with English subtitles.*

An Academy Award–winning dark fable set five years after the end of the Spanish Civil War, PAN’S LABYRINTH encapsulates the rich visual style and genre-defying craft of Guillermo del Toro. Eleven-year-old Ofelia (Ivana Baquero, in a mature and tender performance) comes face to face with the horrors of fascism when she and her pregnant mother are uprooted to the countryside, where her new stepfather (Sergi López), a sadistic captain in General Francisco Franco’s army, hunts down Republican guerrillas refusing to give up the fight. The violent reality in which Ofelia lives merges seamlessly with her fantastical interior world when she meets a faun in a decaying labyrinth and is set on a strange, mythic journey that is at once terrifying and beautiful. In his revisiting of this bloody period in Spanish history, del Toro creates a vivid depiction of the monstrosities of war infiltrating a child’s imagination and threatening the innocence of youth.

What is AIDS, now? 
Or is it which AIDS? 
What is the now of AIDS and art? 
Or is it the why of art & AIDS? 
Which AIDS. Why art. Now. 
Ask it again. It won’t hold still.Artist and AIDS activist **Julie Tolentino** and artist and trans theorist **Eva Hayward** ask these questions — through art, through writing, through an open conversation about the unquestionable. Opening with artworks and readings from both Tolentino and Hayward, they tangle with the invitation to share image and language side by side. Hate (erotic) and void (deselection) are some of their keywords. To further decipher these terms, the artists reflect on their own responses to invitations surrounding AIDS and aesthetics, including terms such as ruination and archive. 

Hosted by ICA LA and as a conclusion to the inaugural year of the [Artist-in-Residence](https://www.theicala.org/en/residencies/air) (AIR) Program, this evening will be introduced and engaged by UCLA English professor and Performance Studies scholar, **Summer Kim Lee**.

### **ABOUT THE FILM:**

When a documentary team set out to investigate the mysterious disappearance of a young girl, events soon take an unexpected turn, leading the filmmakers down an increasingly dark and horrifying path.
Sean Hogan continues his hypnotizing exploration of the uncanny, after scaring us witless with TO FIRE YOU COME AT LAST with this hybrid documentary fiction film that takes genre tropes and turns them upside down to craft something unique and singular. As a filmmaker who understands the nuance of a fright impeccably well, Hogan here delves deep into the modern world, exploring what happens when the malevolent ancient entities encounter digital highways. Full of emotion and unease powerful enough to fuel an entire cinema, THE DARK GETS IN is exceptional storytelling designed to make you sleep with the lights on.

THE DARK GETS IN

### **ABOUT THE FILM:**

A Deaf backpacker finds himself hunted by something not human in the depths of the Black Forest, with all his friends already dead. His escape will lead him to a cabin with a farmer who speaks no English. Now the men must decide if each is a threat or a help and also contend with the thing beyond the door, which will stop at nothing to destroy them.
Britt Falardeau’s exquisite debut is a real display of filmmaking skill and verve – eschewing any spoken dialogue for different modes of visual storytelling and conjuring an environment of dread and wonder, she is paired with two extraordinary actors – Harold Foxx and Daniel Novick – who both deliver exceptional performances. Beyond just an exercise in horror, HINTER is a truly sublime piece of cinema that also displays an extraordinary heart.

HINTER

**Screenwriter**: Stephen King

**Producer**: Richard P. Rubinstein

Horror titans Stephen King and George Romero team up for the ultimate 80s horror anthology just in time to give you the creeps for the whole month of October! Five grisly tales from a 1950s-style comic, including a murdered father rising from beyond, a bizarre meteor, a vengeful husband, a mysterious crate&#8217;s occupant, and a plague of cockroaches. With a dynamo cast, fabulous practical effects, chills, laughs, *and* Stephen King in his most *viral* acting role, there&#8217;s a reason *Creepshow* has remained a Halloween staple for nearly 45 years!

Creepshow

**Producers**: Claire Edelman,  Brydie O&#8217;Connor,  Elijah Stevens

Join us in the microcinema to rediscover the immense legacy of groundbreaking lesbian filmmaker Barbara Hammer through Brydie O&#8217;Connor&#8217;s phenomenal and award-winning portrait, *Barbara Forever!*

*Barbara Forever* explores the films, archive, and ongoing cultural impact of experimental filmmaker Barbara Hammer, revealing her ingenious lifelong artistic effort to create and record lesbian histories, personal and societal. Through her own images and words, the film centers Hammer as a prism of the cultural ecosystems around her – through the feminist and queer movements in 1970s San Francisco, the male-dominated New York art world of the 1980s, the New Queer Cinema movement of the 1990s, and expanded LGBTQIA+ representation in art and culture in the 2000s. 

Driven by her canon of over eighty films, a vast collection of unreleased archival materials – hundreds of hours of footage, personal photographs and ephemera, and extensive audio interviews – *Barbara Forever* tells Barbara Hammer’s story through her own voice and visual perspective, making her the expert on her life, vision, and motivations. 

Barbara Hammer’s films break taboos around female sexuality, aging, illness, and queer love, often using her own body as a site of exploration and political power. Through the course of the film, she shows us that the personal is not only political, the personal is historical. Looking to Barbara Hammer as one of the first filmmakers to put a full lesbian life on screen that wasn’t there before, her work becomes a blueprint for a new generation of queer and radical artists to write their own histories into existence. This exploration of both Barbara Hammer’s life, work, archive, and her ongoing legacy provides an urgent, necessary story of queer life, feminist history, and American cinema.

**CROWLEY, 1987, Dir. Ricardo Islas, 74 Mins, Terror Vision, Uruguay**

*In Spanish with English subtitles.*

In a small colonial town, an ancient vampire rises from the ground and starts terrorizing everyone – soon the whole place is littered with bodies. But this is only the beginning of the nightmare of CROWLEY which will claim many, many victims before the dreadful truth at its heart is exposed.
Ricardo Islas was 17 when he made this by-and-large lost and forgotten vampire epic in Uruguay and it’s only thanks to the efforts of those crazy masterminds at Terror Vision (especially Brad Henderson) that we can enjoy this as complete a version as there will ever be in the relative comfort of the cinema. Truly a one-of-a-kind shot-on-video horror artifact, CROWLEY is a love letter to the movies, to making things no matter what obstacles may stand in the way and to the myth of the vampire: ever-enduring and seductive.

"Rushes of a Killer" / CROWLEY

1931 • Introduction by Author Julian David Stone • This is the one that turned Universal horror into a major Hollywood brand, and it made Boris Karloff a star. James Whale’s direction is a big reason it still works. The makeup by Jack Pierce became the template for what audiences picture when they think “Frankenstein’s monster.” If you’ve only seen clips or parodies, the real film is tighter, stranger, and more moving than people expect. • Show begins with music on the Mighty Wurlitzer and an old fashioned sing-along.

Frankenstein

1959 • Introduction by Author Julian David Stone • Vincent Price is having a great time here, and the movie knows exactly what kind of fun it’s offering. The film was directed by William Castle, the king of gimmicks. It’s a perfect old-school spooky night with laughs, gasps, and that classic black-and-white atmosphere. This is a Halloween movie that feels like a party! • Show begins with spooky music on the Mighty Wurlitzer and an old fashioned sing-along.

To make his dream a reality, he enrolls at the prestigious academy Monsters University. During his first semester, he meets Sulley (John Goodman), a natural-born Scarer. Sulley and Mike engage in a fierce rivalry that ultimately gets them both kicked out of MU&#8217;s elite Scare Program. To make things right, Mike and Sulley &#8212; along with a bunch of misfit monsters &#8212; will have to learn to work together. No matter your level of furriness or the number of eyes you have, we&#8217;re sure to have a place for you and your little monsters at the head of the class!

Is it even spooky season if you&#8217;re not spending it with Vincent Price unaliving his critics with Shakespearean twists? The esteemed master of the macabre Vincent Price stars in this devilishly entertaining backstage nightmare as a Shakespearean actor snubbed by the critics. Now this sonnet-spouting madman is out to murder every journalist who gave him a bad review, and he&#8217;s out to do it with gallons of porch-paint blood! Funny, campy, and magnificently monstrous, don&#8217;t miss your chance to watch the crown prince of horror work his murderous magic!

The ultimate workplace revenge comedy, with three of the most iconic stars to ever grace the world and the big screen with their presence, there are few films as satisfying as this all time comedy/worker&#8217;s rights banger! In this witty, satirical farce — listed as one of the &#8220;100 Funniest Movies&#8221; by the American Film Institute — secretaries Dolly Parton, Jane Fonda, and office manager Lily Tomlin live every female worker&#8217;s dream after discovering they share the same resentment towards their egotistical, sexist boss, played by Dabney Coleman. When they get an unexpected chance to take revenge, they turn their male controlled workplace into a model office — even as their scheme spins wildly out of control. Bring your best coworkers and gal pals, and make sure you take the joint when Fonda passes it to you!

**Dolly Parton – We Will Always Love You!**

Dolly Parton was one of one – with a heart even bigger than her hair. She was one of the greatest to ever make us laugh, cry, and sing – sometimes all at once! A community leader who always put her money where her mouth was, Dolly was a constant inspiration to show up for ourselves and one another, and she brought joy that will be dearly missed by the generations of people that adore her and will forever celebrate her impact. We will always love you, Dolly!

**Producers**: Peggy Chiao,  Carole Scotta,  Caroline Benjo

Your Saturday night is about to get surreal with Tsai Ming-liang&#8217;s wholly original dystopian dark comedy *The Hole* presented on a glorious brand new 35mm print! Set just prior to the start of the 21st century, this vaguely futuristic story follows two residents of a quickly crumbling building who refuse to leave their homes in spite of a virus that has forced the evacuation of the area. As rain pours down relentlessly, a single man is stuck with an unfinished plumbing job and a hole in his floor. This results in a very odd relationship with the woman who lives below him. Combining deadpan humor with an austere view of loneliness and a couple of unexpected musical numbers, Tsai Ming-Liang crafted one of the most original films of the 1990s.

Because Johnny has no social standing, there is some concern that the elder Seton might withhold his permission for the marriage, even though the rest of the family – Julia’s unconventional sister Linda (Katharine Hepburn) and brother Ned (Lew Ayres) — like him immensely. Johnny’s idea of a future has them on an extended holiday that will allow them to roam the world, but Julia and her father reveal that they’ve already made plans for his future — in the Seton family business. Meanwhile, Linda juggles the fact that she’s fallen in love with Johnny while helping to patch things up between him and her sister. With excellent supporting roles by Edward Everett Horton and Jean Dixon.

Isabel Sandoval Presents HOLIDAY

### **ABOUT THE FILM:**

Jim Baitte, a sound designer working on a horror flick by the tyrannical director P.W. Griffin, finds himself sent on a mission to capture a sound powerful enough to land the film’s finale. What follows is a journey of the bizarre, the extraordinary and the unexpected as he lands on the remote island where the weird location is almost as strange as the locals who live in the place.
Noah Stratton-Twine and Jake Kuhn’s phantasmagorical journey into the weird and wonderful is a handwritten letter to filmmaking of yesteryear. Imbued with a sly humor and more hands-on film tricks than anyone could name, it is an exceptional debut designed to remind us why we fell in love with the movies in the first place. All aboard for a first-class ride.
