Followed by a conversation with writer-director **Ryûsuke Hamaguchi **and actor **Tao Okamoto**

Based on an exchange of letters between philosopher Makiko Miyano and medical anthropologist Maho Isono, Ryûsuke Hamaguchi beautifully depicts the remarkable chance encounter in Paris of Marie-Lou, a French nursing home director and caregiver, and Mari, a Japanese theater director facing terminal cancer. As they spend time together after a performance of one of Mari’s plays and at the nursing home where Marie-Lou implements a new program of radical empathy for the patients' bodies and souls against skeptical colleagues, both connect over longing, sentimental aspirations, and the sociopolitical strains that have driven their life choices and shaped their communities. *All of a Sudden* isn’t just a fascinating look into our era’s anxieties and injustices but a moving testimony to the power of human empathy in an era that may make you think there is none.

2026. France/Japan/Germany/Belgium. Directed by Ryûsuke Hamaguchi. Screenplay by Hamaguchi, Léa Le Dimna; based on the book by Maho Isono, Makiko Miyano. With Virginie Efira, Tao Okamoto, Kyôzô Nagatsuka. DCP courtesy NEON. In French, Japanese; English subtitles. 196 min.

### **ABOUT THE FILM:**

*In Mandarin with English subtitles.*

Nineteen-year-old Songlian, a promising student whose family has been destroyed by her father’s death, is forced to abandon her studies and marry into wealth, becoming the fourth and newest concubine of the aging, unseen Master Chen. Inside his walled estate, she discovers a household ruled by a merciless ritual: each night, red lanterns are lit outside the chambers of whichever wife the master chooses to visit, granting her privilege and status while the others are cast into cold irrelevance. Songlian is drawn into the orbit of her rivals, each shaped by years of fighting for the same scraps of attention. Determined at first to rise above the games, Songlian is gradually worn down by isolation and humiliation until she strikes back, trading secrets and favors to secure her place in Master Chen’s hierarchy. As petty cruelty turns even more dire, Songlian is forced to confront what these desperate measures will cost her soul. Newly restored, the film stands as one of the defining works of Fifth Generation Chinese cinema and international film of the 1990s.

Philosophical Research Society

**Screenwriter**: Hayao Miyazaki

**Producers**: Yoshio Sasaki, Toshio Suzuki, Yasuyoshi Tokuma, Matsuo Toshimitsu

From the legendary Studio Ghibli, creators of *Spirited Away*, and Academy Award-winning director Hayao Miyazaki, comes a dazzling aerial adventure set in and above the scenic port towns of the Mediterranean. *Porco Rosso* follows the titular former fighter pilot turned bounty hunter as he pursues bands of sky pirates across the Adriatic Sea. After a mysterious curse leaves him with the face of a pig, Rosso embraces a life of relative obscurity. When an American hotshot pilot named Curtis threatens to take him down, Rosso is forced to join forces with his former flame, the sultry lounge singer Gina, and an aspiring aerospace engineer, Fio, for one final battle. Miyazaki&#8217;s mid-career tour de force retains Studio Ghibli’s signature whimsy while simultaneously offering a sobering meditation on anti-fascism and the traumas of war.

An audacious comedic fable about sex, marriage, and the absurdities of social convention, *Wicker* tells the wholly original love story of an ostracized fisherwoman (Colman) who commissions a husband to be made by the local basketmaker (Dinklage). When her wicker husband (Skarsgård) proves more spectacular than she ever imagined, his soulful spirit and unique prowess awaken something inside her, setting off a wave of jealousy, fascination, and upheaval that threatens the very fabric of village life.

Join us and some of the funniest people on the planet for one of the most joyous documentaries of the year &#8211; the lightning in a bottle that was the 1972 Toronto production of the musical *Godspell. *Martin Short, Eugene Levy, Gilda Radner, Victor Garber, Paul Shaffer, and other entertainment icons got their start in the musical, and began a legacy of Canadian comedy and camaraderie that would last for decades. Featuring interviews with the surviving cast members, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Mike Myers, and more, the film recounts a pivotal moment in comedy history, in hilarious, moving, and inspiring detail.

*&#8220;Exuberant and essential… The niftiness of Davis’s film is that it’s about Godspell, and it’s about something bigger than Godspell &#8212; a pop movement that didn’t have a name yet, a cultural spirit that found its way into existence almost like (laughing) gas gathering in the air.”*

POSSIBLE LOVE follows the intertwined relationship of two married couples facing different paths and hidden desires. Mi-ok (Jeon Do-yeon) lives quietly with her laid-off husband Ho-seok (Sul Kyung-gu) and their young son Cheol until a funeral brings them into the orbit of Ye-ji (Cho Yeo-jeong), a documentary filmmaker chronicling laid-off workers, and her husband Sang-woo (Zo In-sung) — a couple whose affluent lifestyle stands in sharp contrast to their own. When Mi-ok agrees to be filmed, she grows close to Ye-ji, and finds herself uneasily drawn to the unreadable Sang-woo. As their worlds collide, fractures begin to appear in their daily existence. Marking his first release in eight years, highly acclaimed director Lee Chang-dong (BURNING, POETRY, SECRET SUNSHINE) brings his signature nuance to POSSIBLE LOVE, capturing shifting emotions, conflicts and contrasting outlooks that shape these relationships.

A clandestine group of scientists are conducting brutal experiments on human test subjects in an attempt to unlock psychic powers. An assault of industrial noise, sensory deprivation, and grotesque body horror, *Rubber&#8217;s Lover (1996)* is often considered an unofficial prequel to Fukui’s *964 PINOCCHIO (1991)*, expanding on its obsessions with technology, bodily transformation, and the limits of human consciousness.

CYBERCON: Rubber’s Lover

Every space hosts the accumulation of time and is thus a repository of memory, one that is active and dynamic.

Jean Khalil Chamoun’s *Women Beyond Borders* (2004) and Theo Panagopoulos’ *The Flowers Stand Silently, Witnessin*g (2024) were made two decades apart, but together they foster an ongoing conversation at the intersection of identity, memory and place across Lebanon and Palestine.

Though distinct in form, the films consider the relationship between people’s lived environments and their individual and collective identities. The films navigate through spaces both historically and presently marked by displacement, violence and resilience. Both offer meditations and testimonies on how these spaces can inhabit a people’s memories, linger into their present realities and influence their futures.

Rather than attempting to unearth a singular tradition, this program amplifies an ongoing cinematic conversation across Lebanon and Palestine that is rooted in intertwined histories of occupation and resistance. This conversation is an urgent one to hold today in light of the ongoing aggression against southern Lebanon and historic Palestine that continues to target complete ecosystems. This systematic surge of destruction and harm affects far beyond the physical; it seeks to fracture memory, sever a people’s sense of being and belonging, and jeopardize social relations that places sustain. The moving image as a tool presents an opportunity to forge an alternative place of memory work, one capable of preserving spatial memory, making visible the forms of erasure, and imagining continuities that exceed the violence of occupation and its imposed restriction on bodies and space.

*Programmed by UCLA Comparative Literature Ph.D. student Aciah Abdulsater and Archive Research and Public Access Coordinator Nicole Ucedo. Notes and concept by Aciah Abdulsater.*

Filmmaker and researcher Theo Panagopoulos’ essay-style documentary assembles recently rediscovered archival footage of Palestinian wild flowers, filmed in the 1930s and ’40s by a Scottish missionary during the British Mandate. Panagopoulos decides to reclaim the footage. In reframing the images with new sound and captions he questions the role of image-making as both a tool of witnessing and a perpetrator of violence, when covering the relationships between people and land. 

DCP. Director/Screenwriter: Theo Panagopoulos.

In a feature-length documentary, filmmaker Jean Khalil Chamoun follows the story of Kifah Afifi, a Palestinian refugee, Sabra and Shatila massacre survivor, and ex-abductee at the infamous Khiam detention center in then-occupied southern Lebanon. The film explores questions of womanhood and women’s relationship to community and space. By following Kifah’s recollection of her time in detainment, her struggles and what anchored her hope, the film sheds light onto women who defied societal, historical and political boundaries.

A contemporary innovator of Pop, LA-based artist Larry Johnson makes photographs that look nothing like photographs.

For more than a decade, University of Virginia colleagues Kevin Jerome Everson, Commonwealth and Ruffin Foundation Distinguished Professor of Studio Art and Director of Studio Arts, and Claudrena N. Harold, Associate Dean for Social Sciences and Edward Stettinius Professor of History, have collaborated on *Black Fire*, an ongoing body of work devoted to the history and experience of Black life at UVA in Charlottesville. The project grew out of Harold’s research into the political and cultural history of African American students and faculty at the university and her discovery of a fragmentary archive. Together, Harold and Everson began using this archival material as a point of departure, making images where images were absent and bringing Harold’s research into conversation with Everson’s approach to performance, duration, and gesture.

The selection presented here moves between histories of student organizing and institutional change, athletics, gospel, recreation, and the forms of social and cultural exchange that took place within and around the university.

The screening will be followed by a Q&A and conversation with Everson and Harold.

Vidiots remembers the iconic screen goddess **Eva Marie Saint!**

*I coulda been a contender. I coulda been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what I am, let&#8217;s face it.* You might know that iconic quote, and you might be aware that Marlon Brando’s performance in this movie was a game-changer in film history, helping to popularize the more naturalistic style known as Method acting. But don’t let that overshadow the film itself, a masterpiece that earned eight Academy Awards (including Best Picture) and remains just as powerful 70 years later. Brando plays Terry Malloy, a longshoreman and former boxer who grows to resent the mobsters who control his local union. And in her film debut, Eva Marie Saint is luminous as Terry’s love interest, who acts as his conscience and inspires him to take a stand and fight back &#8211; no matter what the cost.

3-D SPACE and Hollywood Entertainment invite you to a very special rare 3D screening of *Charlie Victor Romeo*, a uniquely disquieting performance film created entirely from the "black box" transcripts of real-life airline emergencies.

These short and poignant vignettes of real-life peril are by turns distressing and quotidian- an anthology of last words and deeds whose specificity and urgency are made extraordinarily vivid by the stereoscopic intimacy.

"When you board an airplane, who are those people in uniform to whom you entrust your life? What do they really do when things go horribly wrong? Derived entirely from the Cockpit Voice Recorder transcripts of six major airline incidents and accidents, Charlie Victor Romeo puts the audience inside the tension-filled cockpits of actual flights in distress, offering a fascinating portrait of the psychology of crisis and a person’s will to live to the last second." - Dekanalog

“[This] chilling and groundbreaking production stretches the boundaries of film, theatre, and the traditional documentary with this stereoscopic 3-D film of a stage play that recreates transcripts word for word. CHARLIE VICTOR ROMEO transports film audiences into the best seats of the theatre and delivers the intensity and gut-wrenching emotion of these emergencies via the unique approach of live performance.” - Shari Frilot, senior programmer Sundance Film Festival & New Frontier

"The scariest airplane movie ever!" - John Waters

"A radical film." - Agnes Varda

"One of the most terrifying films I have ever seen." - A.O. Scott, *New York Times*

The Machine That Kills Bad People (La macchina ammazzacattivi) in 35mm

Since the 1970s, the name James L. Brooks has been synonymous with intelligent television comedy—his shows are insightful about work and love and always plugged in to the zeitgeist. He is also a master storyteller of the big screen, and none of his films was more quintessentially Brooks than Broadcast News. This caustic look inside the Washington news media stars Holly Hunter, in her breakout role, as a feisty television producer torn between an ambitious yet dim anchorman (William Hurt) and her closest confidant, a cynical veteran reporter (Albert Brooks). Brooks’s witty, gently prophetic film is a captivating transmission from an era in which ideas on relationships and the media were rapidly changing.

Broadcast News

Suzanne Stone is a weather reporter at her small-town cable station, but she dreams of being a big-time news anchor. However, she feels that her middle-class husband is holding her back, so she decides to have him murdered. For this, she enlists Jimmy, a high school boy who is enamored with her. The plan doesn't work exactly as she intended, though, and her husband's family starts to suspect that she was involved in his death.

Comedy master Jûzô Itami whips kung fu, noir, tearjerkers, Chaplinesque silent antics, and, of course, the spaghetti western into a rich, full-bodied broth and serves it up hot as the wacky, surreal adventures of Tampopo (Itami’s wife Nobuko Miyamoto) are seasoned with the sexy exploits of a gastronome gangster (PERFECT DAYS star Kōji Yakusho). A tasty meditation on human hunger; savory and sweet; nourishing for the body and soul. Umami cinema.

Tampopo

In 1600, nobleman Orlando (Tilda Swinton) inherits his parents' house, thanks to Queen Elizabeth I (Quentin Crisp), who commands the young man to never change.

One morning, Orlando is shocked to wake up as a woman and returns home, struggling as a female to retain her property as the centuries roll by.

From PARK Chan-wook, the celebrated director of OLDBOY, LADY VENGEANCE and STOKER, comes a ravishing new crime drama. PARK presents a gripping and sensual tale of two women - a young Japanese Lady living on a secluded estate, and a Korean woman who is hired to serve as her new handmaiden, but is secretly plotting with a conman to defraud her of a large inheritance. Inspired by the novel Fingersmith by British author Sarah Waters, THE HANDMAIDEN borrows the most dynamic elements of its source material and combines it with PARK Chan-wook’s singular vision to create an unforgettable viewing experience.

### **ABOUT THE FILM:**

Gary Oldman, Winona Ryder and Anthony Hopkins star in director Francis Ford Coppola’s visually stunning, passionately seductive version of the classic Dracula legend. In BRAM STOKER’S DRACULA, Coppola returns to the original source of the Dracula myth, and from that gothic romance, he creates a modern masterpiece. Gary Oldman’s metamorphosis as Dracula who grows from old to young, from man to beast is nothing short of amazing. Winona Ryder brings equal intensity to the role of a young beauty who becomes the object of Dracula’s devastating desire. Anthony Hopkins co-stars as the famed doctor who dares to believe in Dracula, and then dares to confront him.

Turn off your Apple 2C and get ready for some obsolete technology on celluloid as this month&#8217;s 16mm foray into celluloid weirdness delves into vintage animation, educational films, trippy trailers, antiquated advertisements, Sci Fi rarities and more from the 1950s through the 1980s heralding the “coming” world of robots, time and space travel, and the home computer explosion. From the poetic symphony of a robotic factory, to a lost Mid-Century promotional cartoon about the monopolization of plastics, to a dancing CPU chorus line, and more oddities and surprises you won&#8217;t be able to see anywhere else, this program is a TRIP &#8211; back to the future. Slightly ridiculous and definitely out of date, this compendium of vintage technology and imagined futures will be screened entirely on 16mm film with prints from the Sweet 16mm collection as well as the legendary archives of Oddball Films and A/V Geeks. 

**Sweet 16mm** is a monthly screening of short films that demonstrate the special magic of the medium of 16mm. Ranging monthly from experimental, animation, educational, promotional, and ephemeral, we seek to spread the gospel of 35mm’s cheap and portable cousin and a physical media often overlooked and underrated. Sit in the room with the projector and behold the magical analog obscurities that we dig out monthly on glorious 16mm celluloid!

The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth 35mm

Rinko and Shigehiko are a strange couple, whose physical mismatch is reflected in the complete lack of intimacy between them. They connect as human beings but they live more like friends than as lovers and lead nearly independent lives. Both seem comfortable with this coexistence, but the desires that lurk beneath the surface are brought out with the introduction of a third element (played by Tsukamoto himself) into the equation. A visually-stunning and coldly-erotic masterpiece from the director of TETSUO: THE IRON MAN.

Arrested on suspicion of cheating, he tells the police the incredible story of his life on the streets, and of the girl he loved and lost. Winner of 8 Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director, this is the ultimate tale of rags to riches.

Slumdog Millionaire

Directed by Academy Award-winner Danny Boyle, this is a savagely entertaining contemporary black comedy, which sees three cocksure twenty- somethings sharing a flat in Edinburgh getting more than they bargained for when they go in search of a new roommate.

Shallow Grave

Danny Boyle's explosive film tracks the misadventures of young men in Edinburgh trying to find their way out of joblessness, aimless relationships and drug addiction. Some are successful, while others hopelessly are not. Based on Irvine Walsh's novel, Trainspotting melds grit with poetry, resulting in a film of harsh truths and stunning grace. 

Trainspotting

A group of misguided animal rights activists free a caged chimp infected with the "Rage" virus from a medical research lab. When London bike courier Jim (Cillian Murphy) wakes up from a coma a month after, he finds his city all but deserted.

### **ABOUT THE FILM:**

Presbyterian Church is a small mining town in the turn-of-the-century Pacific Northwest—and a perfect place where gambler John Q. McCabe and bordello madam Constance Miller can do business. Robert Altman’s dazzlingly original MCCABE & MRS. MILLER, starring Warren Beatty and Julie Christie, stands the mythology of the Old West on its ear. Shot on beautiful Vancouver wilderness locations, this 1971 film captures the essence of a long-ago time, coupled with the edgy modern sensibility Altman brought to his other ’70s masterworks M*A*S*H and NASHVILLE. The spellbinding result, critic Pauline Kael wrote, is “a modern classic.”

Vidiots remembers the iconic screen goddess **Eva Marie Saint!**

The ultimate Hitchcock thrill ride, centered on the Master of Suspense’s favorite theme: an innocent man accused of a crime he didn’t commit. Here, the poor sucker is an effortlessly cool Cary Grant (or is that redundant?), playing an advertising exec who’s mistaken for a spy named George Kaplan — and then mistaken for a murderer! His efforts to clear his own name and unravel a sinister conspiracy will take across the United States, from an epic train ride to an assassination attempt by airplane to a chase across Mount Rushmore. But hey, he does get to romance Eva Marie Saint along the way, so maybe it’s all worth it?

The Funhouse/Eaten Alive

Grindhouse

Join us for a special "Black Friday" screening of the contemporary Australian microbudget feature.

Lou and Noodles are consumers. Adrift and empty, they are separate from each other and from the world. Ruled by desire and uncontrollable drives to excess, they spend their solitary hours in spaces both real and unreal. Occasionally, they are in the same part of the mall.

A deeply personal evocation of the alienation of consumer spaces and the loneliness that late capitalism both creates and feeds on, MALLS is a lament for a culture that is most alive in its doomed attempts to escape itself. Drawing equal inspiration from Tsai Ming-liang, the early work of John Waters, and the inevitable online brain-rot of its young creators, the film is a micro-budget testament to making your own fun in a world of fading possibility.

*“A dazzling slow-cinema study of consumerism and alienation, via two young drifting solitaires... a mesmerising film with great depth, penetrating its characters' souls... the concluding sequences are exhilarating.” -* ***Bill Mousoulis*** (filmmaker, programmer, founding editor of Senses of Cinema)
“A voraciously original feature debut from Adelaide filmmaker Daniel Tune, for whom the failing infrastructure of late capitalist life is a kind of silly putty... A film that has completely reshuffled my sense of the possible in contemporary Australian filmmaking” - ***Indigo Bailey***, Rough Cut Film
“Melancholy and often gross, appropriate for a film titled in mock tribute to some of the worst, most lonely places on Earth... Tune deeply understands the how and why of a long take on tender pain; the whole frame is alive with geometry and movement” – ***Kai Perrignon*** *(filmmaker, head programmer at Brunswick Underground Film Festival)*
