### **ABOUT THE FILM:**

Small-time mobster Nicky (John Cassavetes) is holed up in a fleabag motel after finding out the boss he stole money from has put a hit out on him. Terrified and with nowhere to run, he calls on Mikey (Peter Falk), his oldest friend and the one person he thinks can save him. But does Mikey actually want to help Nicky this time, or is he merely leading him to his doom? 

Inspired by real-life figures from filmmaker Elaine May’s own childhood and anchored by electrifying performances from its stars—alongside supporting players Ned Beatty, Joyce Van Patten and Carol Grace—MIKEY AND NICKY is a harrowing portrait of male friendship turned tragic and a masterpiece of American cinema.

**Screenwriters**: Wim Wenders, Peter Handke

**Producers**: Wim Wenders, Anatole Dauman

Like an ethereal dream, Wim Wenders&#8217; poetic masterpiece is both a visual marvel and a universal story of the transformative power of love, even for the immortal. Two angels shift through the foggy streets of Berlin, devoid of attachment to the mortals they serve, until one angel falls in love with a trapeze artist and begins to feel a longing for corporeality and human connection. With sublime cinematography by Henri Alekan, a musical soundtrack that includes Nick Cave, and an (other)worldly Peter Falk playing himself, this gorgeous film is an unparalleled achievement in cinema.

When her husband passes away in an automobile accident, Shin-ae relocates down south to her late husband’s hometown of Miryang. Despite her efforts to settle down, in this unfamiliar and much too normal place, she finds that she can’t quite fit in. Helping her out is Kim Jong-chan, a good-intentioned but bothersome bachelor, who owns a car repair shop. Life plods on. However, fate takes a vicious turn when Shin-ae loses her son in the most horrific way a mother could imagine. She turns to Christianity to relieve the pain in her heart, but when even this is not permitted, she wages a war against God.

Secret Sunshine

Fresh out of prison, Hong Jong-du (Sul Kyung-gu) finds an unlikely soulmate in Gong-ju (Moon So-ri), the daughter of the victim of the hit-and-run accident for which he went to jail. Wheelchair-bound and suffering from severe cerebral palsy, Gong-ju is kept cloistered in a cheap apartment by her brother, whose only concern is the government assistance she receives. Over a series of clandestine meetings, the two begin an improbable relationship that defies the judgment and cruelty of the world around them.

Winner of the Silver Lion for Best Director and Best Young Actress at the Venice Film Festival, Lee Chang-dong's OASIS is a “brave film” that “shows two people who find any relationship almost impossible, and yet find a way to make theirs work” (Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times). Presented in a new 4K restoration.

Oasis

BURNING is the searing examination of an alienated young man, Jongsu (Ah-in Yoo), a frustrated introvert whose already difficult life is complicated by the appearance of two people in his orbit: first, Haemi (newcomer Jong-seo Jun), a spirited woman who offers the romantic possibility, and then, Ben (Steven Yeun), a wealthy and sophisticated young man she returns from a trip with. However, when Jongsu learns of Ben’s mysterious hobby and Haemi suddenly disappears, his confusion and obsessions begin to mount, culminating in a stunning finale.

**Screenwriter**: Pedro Almodóvar

**Producers**: Augustín Almodóvar, Michel Rubin

One of maestro Pedro Almodóvar&#8217;s most-complicated and lauded masterpieces, this exquisitely shot meditation on loyalty and obsession earned Almodóvar the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay along with the Golden Globe and BAFTA Awards for best Foreign Language Film. With a breathtaking and controversial mix of movement and stillness, murky morality, and outrageously envelope-pushing imagery and subject matter- Almodóvar creates a world with sympathy for monsters, oversized genitalia, and Pina Bausch performances no one should miss on the big screen. Two men (Benigno and Marco) almost meet while watching a dance performance (of German icon Pina Bausch no less), but their lives are irrevocably entwined by fate. They meet later at a private clinic where Benigno is the caregiver for Alicia, a beautiful dance student who lies in a coma. Marco is there to visit his girlfriend, Lydia, a famous matador, also rendered motionless. As the men wage vigil over the women they love, the story unfolds in flashback and flash-forward as the lives of the four are further entwined and their relationships move toward a shocking conclusion.

Olivia Wilde out-Albees Edward Albee (and out-LaButes Neil LaBute) in this viciously funny four-hander about a couple who inadvertently spice up their marriage when they invite over their swinging neighbors for a casual dinner party. Deftly adapted by Will McCormack and Rashida Jones from the popular Spanish movie *Sentimental*, *The Invite* confirms Wilde as an uncommonly, if unsurprisingly, gifted director of actors, each of whom plays their parts to perfection: the put-upon neurotic wife (Wilde, paying homage to Diane Keaton), the half-hearted husband (Seth Rogan), the Tantric seeker (Ed Norton), and the free-spirited bohemian (Penelope Cruz).

**Screenwriter:** Greg Mottola

**Producers:** Nancy Tenenbaum, Steven Soderbergh

*The Daytrippers*, directed by late-aughts comedy mainstay Greg Mottola (*Superbad*, *Adventureland*), follows one crazy day in the life of the dysfunctional Malone family as they embark on a frenzied odyssey through New York City. When eldest daughter Eliza (Hope Davis) finds a love letter addressed to her husband (Stanley Tucci), the whole family—including Eliza’s younger sister Jo (an effortlessly cool Parker Posey in the most dazzling pair of red leg warmers), mother Rita (comedy legend Anne Meara), father Jim (Pat McNamara), and Jo’s fiancé Carl (a baby-faced Liev Schreiber)—squeezes into a station wagon trekking from Long Island to the city in search of answers. The group stumbles and bickers through encounters with distinctly New York oddballs, artists, and elitists but no one is prepared for when their sleuthing leads to a devastating revelation. Anchored by standout performances from Posey, Davis, and Meara, Greg Mottola&#8217;s family road-trip from hell is a hilarious, clever, and surprisingly poignant indie gem.

### **ABOUT THE FILM:**

Cameron Winter, in December 2025, after a months-long sold-out tour with his band Geese, returned to New York to play a single show at Carnegie Hall. This is the movie.

Directed and shot on 35mm and 16mm by Oscar-winning filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson (ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER), the crew includes filmmaker and actor Benny Safdie (THE SMASHING MACHINE) and music producer Ariel Rechtshaid (Grammy winner for albums with Vampire Weekend and Adele).

GQ praised Cameron Winter’s show at Carnegie Hall as “staggeringly good,” and Nick Cave said he has a “a glorious, emotive voice with brilliant, blistering words, a racked and wondrous thing.” Winter’s solo album *Heavy Metal* was named one of the best of the year by Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, Paste and Mojo and Geese’s last record *Getting Killed* was named the best album of 2025 by The New Yorker, NME and Stereogum.

*Michel Gondry, USA, 2004, 35mm, 108 min. *

Everyone has an ex they’d rather forget; now, you can. For Joel (Jim Carrey), the culmination of his on-again, off-again relationship with Clementine (Kate Winslet) is the erasure of him from her memory. Thanks to a breakthrough procedure from Dr. Howard Mierzwiak (Tom Wilkinson), he too can wipe the experience from his mind, but his heart is a different matter. As he courses through the years of make-ups and break-ups, though the memories fade, the love remains, but for how long? A visionary experiment in love from the minds of writer Charlie Kaufman and director Michel Gondry.

### **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.

### **ABOUT THE FILMS:**

**“Rosalie,” 1966, Dir. Walerian Borowczyk, 15 Mins, Friends of Walerian Borowcyzk, France**

*In French with English subtitles.*

Of all his films, Borowczyk’s favorite was “Rosalie.” Based on a short story by Guy de Maupassant, Borowczyk relates the plight of a servant girl who killed and buried her child in the garden. Featuring a profoundly touching performance by Ligia Borowczyk, once again Borowczyk uses animated objects to relate (horrific) action indirectly. An over-exposed, chiaroscuro image gives the proceedings an ethereal quality halfway between one of Beckett’s monologues and David Lynch’s ERASERHEAD.

### **ABOUT THE FILM:**

Down on their luck punk rockers The Ain’t Rights are finishing up a long and unsuccessful tour, and are about to call it quits when they get an unexpected booking at an isolated, run-down club deep in the backwoods of Oregon. What seems merely to be a third-rate gig escalates into something much more sinister when they witness an act of violence backstage that they weren’t meant to see. Now trapped backstage, they must face off against the club’s depraved owner, Darcy Banker (Stewart), a man who will do anything to protect the secrets of his nefarious enterprise. But while Darcy and his henchmen think the band will be easy to get rid of, The Ain’t Rights prove themselves much more cunning and capable than anyone expected, turning the tables on their unsuspecting captors and setting the stage for the ultimate life-or-death showdown.

Ken Russell&#8217;s lavishly deranged and gloriously sacrilegious masterpiece comes to Vidiots in a beautiful new restoration on glorious 35mm celluloid! One of the most controversial films of all time, Ken Russell&#8217;s outrageous masterpiece can finally be seen in ALL its glory, with the complete cut finally restored after 55 years of censorship. A film that is as fundamentally important in its political lessons as it is funny, romantic, and jaw-droppingly beautiful, it is a one-of-a-kind cinematic spectacle meant to be experienced on the big screen. In 1634 France, charismatic Father Urbain Grandier becomes the target of a sexually obsessed nun’s witchcraft accusations, which corrupt church and state officials are all too happy to exploit.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ With exquisite set design from Derek Jarman, unbelievable performances from Oliver Reed and Vanessa Redgrave (and everyone else in the cast), some of the most audacious footage in cinema history, and a message it&#8217;s necessary for every generation to hear, you need to drop everything and prepare yourself for the phenomenon!

Wild at Heart

**Producers**: Liani Greaves,  Anne De Mare

A decade after his death, genre-defying filmmaker William Greaves has one last trick up his sleeve with what he considered the most important event he captured on film: a 1972 party he engineered with the living luminaries of the Harlem Renaissance. For four hours, this extraordinary group – many of whom had not seen each other in fifty years – reminisced, critiqued, argued, laughed and drank while wrestling with their place in a rapidly shifting cultural landscape. 

Shot on 16mm film, newly restored and now directed by Greaves’ son David, this landmark film is at once a self-exploration and an inquiry into the heart of the critical mass of energy called the Harlem Renaissance. William Greaves’ intent was not only to document these artists and intellectuals as they spoke about their lives and work but also to plumb the meaning of the extraordinary creative period in which they lived to help us better understand how culture has been passed on from one generation to another and the role that the artist plays in keeping it alive.

In a dystopian 2021, Johnny is a data trafficker who has an implant that allows him to securely store data too sensitive for regular computer networks. On one delivery run, he accepts a package that not only exceeds the implant&#8217;s safety limits—and will kill him if the data is not removed in time—but also contains information far more important and valuable than he had ever imagined. On a race against time, he must avoid the assassins sent to kill him and remove the data before it, too, ends his life. A super fun sci-fi thrill ride with a killer cast that includes Ice-T, Dolph Lundgren, and Takeshi Kitano, and an increasingly prescient message &#8211; *Johnny Mnemonic* is one hell of a mind-trip!

**Producers**: Stewart Le Maréchal,  Anna Mohr-Pietsch

Join us in the microcinema for this magnificently absurd mockumentary with eye-popping imagery and a deliciously off-kilter performance by Sian Clifford. Deluded aristocrat Lady Isabella (Sian Clifford) hires struggling director Sam (Laurie Kynaston) to document life at her imposing country estate, Ravenhyde Hall. When he discovers that the promise of a Netflix commission was a lie, and that Isabella only wants him there to film her taking part in a ridiculously low-stakes regional talent show held at the Hall, he’s ready to quit—until he realizes the narcissistic Lady is, quite literally, turning invisible. 

Seeing a chance to revive his faltering career, Sam keeps filming under the guise of helping Isabella prepare for her big performance. Supporting her also means reluctantly stepping in front of the camera himself, becoming Isabella’s unlikely muse and revealing a vulnerability he’d rather hide. 

Though from different worlds, they form an unexpected bond, but when Sam uncovers the tragic reason Isabella hasn’t left Ravenhyde Hall in years, he questions whether his film exploits her trauma. As the talent show approaches and Isabella’s invisibility spreads, can they both confront their fears before she disappears completely?

*Made possible by the John H. Mitchell Television Programming Endowment*

Premiering on NBC on October 17, 1966, *Hollywood Squares* became one of the most popular game shows in television history, with over 4,000 episodes of the original network incarnation produced through 1981. The longevity of the simple tic-tac-toe game was driven in large part by the show’s charismatic, quick-witted host, Peter Marshall. A talented actor and nightclub comedian, Marshall breezily tackled the daunting task of corralling the series’ boisterous, rotating stable of nine celebrities, setting up punchlines and volleying retorts with equal aplomb. 

While high-wattage superstars such as Vincent Price and Sammy Davis Jr. often guested, the literal center of *Hollywood Squares’ *towering, neon-lit set featured an icon like no other — actor and comedian Paul Lynde. Beloved by audiences of all stripes, Lynde routinely brought down the house with bawdy ad-libs and double entendres — delivered impeccably with a knowing wink. Painfully closeted in his personal life to protect his showbiz career, Lynde turned conventional wisdom of the day upside down, boldly introducing the masses to an undeniably empowered, queer-coded persona previously unseen on television. 

Join us as we celebrate the 60th anniversary of the premiere of *Hollywood Squares* and the birth centennials of Peter Marshall and Paul Lynde. Two preserved episodes will be screened, complete with original commercials, as well as an extended clip reel showcasing a galaxy of guest stars, risque retorts and the genius of Paul Lynde.

**Screenwriters:** L. M. Kit Carson, Sam Shepard

**Producers:** Anatole Dauman, Don Guest

Our beloved Harry Dean Stanton stars in *Paris, Texas,* a profoundly moving character study written by Pulitzer Prize–winning playwright Sam Shepard. New German Cinema pioneer Wim Wenders (*Wings of Desire*) brings his keen eye for landscape to the American Southwest and this story of a mysterious, nearly mute drifter Travis (a magnificent Stanton, whose face is a landscape all its own) as he tries to reconnect with his young son and his missing wife (Nastassja Kinski). From this simple setup, Wenders and Shepard produce a powerful statement on codes of masculinity and the myth of the American family, as well as an exquisite visual exploration of a vast, crumbling world of canyons and neon.

**Screenwriters**: Alexis Arroyo, Juan López Moctezuma from the novella *Camilla* by Sheridan Le Fanu

**Producers**: Eduardo Moreno, Max Guefen, Juan López Moctezuma

A jaw-dropping deep cut of Satanic Cinema, Juan López Moctezuma&#8217;s *Alucarda* is treasure of Mexican Horror dying to be rediscovered at large. School girls cavorting with Baphomet and dabbling in sapphic secrets, self-flagelatting nuns wrapped in bloody gauze, this woefully underseen masterpiece is a whole new level of horror, hungry for new eyes to witness its exquisite strangeness. A young girl&#8217;s arrival at a convent after the death of her parents marks the beginning of a series of events that unleash an evil presence on the girl and her mysterious new friend, an enigmatic figure known as Alucarda. Demonic possession, Satan worship, and vampirism follows. A protege of Alejandro Jodorowski, Moctezuma creates a nightmarish world that transcends beyond genre. Don&#8217;t miss this rare chance to see this unforgettable experience on our big screen!

The Favourite

The Flowers of St. Francis (Francesco, giullare di Dio) in 35mm

Peanut butter is the secret ingredient for magic potions made by two friendly ghosts. Eleven-year-old Michael loses all of his hair when he gets a fright and uses the potion to get his hair back, but too much peanut butter causes things to get a bit hairy.

The Peanut Butter Solution

In this unauthorized adaptation of the first two Flash Gordon story arcs, the world&#8217;s greatest astronaut, Roy del Espacio, is sent to Mars with Dr. Faz and psychologist Helena to investigate the cosmic rays coming from the planet. What ensues is a space epic of recognizable proportions.

Roy del Espacio

A down and out young punk gets a job working with a seasoned repo man, but what awaits him in his new career is a series of outlandish adventures revolving around aliens, the CIA, and a most wanted &#8217;64 Chevy.

Repo Man

It was one of the great, untold love stories of the 20th century. For fifty years, Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown shared a life of profound tenderness, sharp wit, and creative joy. They also sparked a revolution in architecture, challenging the rigid modernism of the era with their embrace of complexity, symbolism, and the lessons of the everyday landscape.

Filmed with astonishing intimacy by their son, Stardust invites you to see the world through their eyes. It’s a road-movie journey to the places that meant the most to them—including Rome, Venice, Paris, London, Philadelphia, and Las Vegas. Along the way, you’ll witness their witty, subversive shorthand, quiet battles against a male-dominated establishment (including the infamous Pritzker Prize snub), and the enduring partnership that redefined architectural collaboration.

Praised by The New York Times and The Guardian, Stardust is a funny, moving, and deeply human portrait—a film to fall in love with.

The film makers: 

Jim Venturi (director & producer) and Anita Naughton (writer & editor) are the filmmakers of Stardust. Jim’s debut documentary offers a rare and personal look at his parents’ lives, informed by over a decade of filming and dozens of interviews with architects, artists and collaborators from all over the world. In addition to directing and producing Stardust, he also leads ReThink Studio, a think-tank based in New York City.

Anita is the writer and editor of Stardust and has been credited with creating an engaging and moving portrait of these two brilliant and subversive figures. Her book Tea & Sympathy is about her waitressing days in Greenwich Village. Naughton has just finished a rom-com set in Italy and is working on their next film, Denise Scott Brown: No Apologies.

Director Markus Zizenbacher in person and a video introduction by Brontez Purnell!

A sexually liberated black and queer song of Simi Valley to Silver Lake with a personal history of LA punk in between, *The Life of Sean DeLear* is a moving, exciting, touching, funny, sweet, and deeply affectionate tribute to the iconic Sean D. Featuring glimpses of his band Glue, his time living with Susan Tyrrell, hanging with John Sex, encountering-- and creating-- celebrity myths and mysteries, the film also includes interviews with Ann Magnuson, Redd Kross, Rick Owens, and more.

"This portrait-documentary tells the story of musician, performance artist and scenster Sean DeLear. From his early childhood in Simi Valley to the posthumous publication of his teenage diaries. It is a vibrant trip through the underground scene of LA, New York and Vienna using his video, foto, and diary archive... Sean documented his whole life from 8mm to Hi8 to digital, in fotos and writing since the late 70s. It is an inspiring collection of flashlights through the last decades that show a vivid testimonial of the music and art scene, the changing of media included. - Zizenbacher

"Like a young Diana Ross, Sean DeLear was all ferocity and vulnerability..."—Rick Owens

The Host

FOOD IS LIFE in this mouthwatering “ramen western” about a misfit gang of ramen ronin who guide a noodle-shop owner in her quest for the perfect recipe. 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. After a disastrous affair with Russian princess Sasha (Charlotte Valandrey), Orlando looks for solace in the arts before being appointed ambassador to Constantinople in 1700, where war is raging. 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.

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!

With a special introduction from John Candy&#8217;s son **Chris Candy**!

*I like me!* Join Vidiots for the quintessential holiday charmer from the master of the feel good comedy John Hughes. Easily excitable Neal Page (Steve Martin) is somewhat of a control freak. Trying to get home to Chicago to spend Thanksgiving with his wife (Laila Robins) and kids, his flight is rerouted to a distant city in Kansas because of a freak snowstorm, and his sanity begins to fray. Worse yet, he is forced to bunk up with talkative Del Griffith (John Candy), whom he finds extremely annoying. Together they must overcome the insanity of holiday travel to reach their intended destination.

Alice's Restaurant/I Love You, Alice B Toklas

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.

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?
