About the film:

In an invisible territory at the margins of society lives a wounded community who face the threat of being forgotten by political institutions and having their rights as citizens trampled. Disarmed veterans, taciturn adolescents, drug addicts trying to escape addiction through love; ex-special forces soldiers still at war with the world; floundering young women and future mothers; and old people who have not lost their desire to live. Through this hidden pocket of humanity, renowned documentarian Roberto Minervini opens a window to the abyss of today's America. Total runtime: 92 min.

About the director:

Roberto Minervini is an Italian-born film director, who lives and works in the U.S. He is widely considered to be one of the world’s most prominent auteurs of narrative documentaries, which combine dramatized and observational elements. In 2007, he moved to Texas, where he directed three feature films, *The Passage*, *Low Tide*, and *Stop the Pounding Heart*, a Texas Trilogy that focused on rural communities in the American South. He then went on to direct two feature films set in Louisiana, *The Other Side* and *What You Gonna Do When the World’s on Fire?*, shifting to the political realm of American society and touching on social injustice. In more recent years, he has begun to produce the work of other visionary filmmakers through his production company Pulpa Film, including Payal Kapadia’s first fiction film *All We Imagine as Light* and Lisandro Alonso’s *Eureka*. Minervini’s latest film, *The Damned*, is his first fiction film set in the 1860s during the American Civil War.

### **ABOUT THE FILM:**

Charlie Chaplin was already an international star when he decided to break out of the short-film format and make his first full-length feature. THE KID doesn’t merely show Chaplin at a turning point, when he proved that he was a serious film director—it remains an expressive masterwork of silent cinema. In it, he stars as his lovable Tramp character, this time raising an orphan (a remarkable young Jackie Coogan) he has rescued from the streets. Chaplin and Coogan make a miraculous pair in this nimble marriage of sentiment and slapstick, a film that is, as its opening title card states, “a picture with a smile—and perhaps, a tear.”

Mala Noche

Enjoy a short program before the film

With its low budget and lush black-and-white imagery, Gus Van Sant’s debut feature Mala Noche heralded an idiosyncratic, provocative new voice in American independent film. Set in Van Sant’s hometown of Portland, Oregon, the film evokes a world of transient workers, dead-end day-shifters, and bars and seedy apartments bathed in a profound nighttime, as it follows a romantic deadbeat with a wayward crush on a handsome Mexican immigrant. Mala Noche was an important prelude to the New Queer Cinema of the nineties and is a fascinating capsule from a time and place that continues to haunt its director’s work.

### **ABOUT THE FILM:**

Paterson (Adam Driver) is a bus driver in the city of Paterson, New Jersey—they share the name. Every day, Paterson adheres to a simple routine: he drives his daily route, observing the city as it drifts across his windshield and overhearing fragments of conversation swirling around him; he writes poetry into a notebook; he walks his dog; he stops in a bar and drinks exactly one beer. He goes home to his wife, Laura (Golshifteh Farahani). By contrast, Laura’s world is ever changing. New dreams come to her almost daily, each a different and inspired project. Paterson loves Laura and she loves him. He supports her newfound ambitions; she champions his secret gift for poetry. The history and energy of the City of Paterson is a felt presence in the film and its simple structure unfolds over the course of a single week. The quiet triumphs and defeats of daily life are observed, along with the poetry evident in its smallest details.

Obsessing over the skies and carving mountains out of potatoes, he loses himself to the phenomena along with countless others observing a rash of interstellar observations, including the great French New Wave director Francois Truffaut. With a Grammy-Award winning score from frequent Spielberg collaborator John Williams, and Academy Award-winning cinematography from the great Vilmos Zsigmond, it&#8217;s a spectacle for your eyes, ears, and imagination.

Close Encounters of the Third Kind – The Director’s Cut

**Screenwriter**:  Alex Ross Perry

**Producer**: Craig Butta

We had such a blast with *Pavements* in the Eagle, we just had to bring it back for more fun in our microcinema! *Pavements* is a movie about Pavement the band—among other things. The latest film from acclaimed director Alex Ross Perry (Her Smell) is a documentary that may or may not be entirely true, may or may not be totally sincere, and may or may not be more about the idea of the band—or any band—than a history of the short-lived, passionately loved, commercially marginal Nineties American alternative group Pavement. This unconventional film about a highly unconventional band incorporates a stage musical, rock biopic, gallery exhibition, archival footage, and contemporary observational footage to create a film as irreducible, uncharacterizable, and entertaining as the band and its music. Anchored by Pavement’s slacker-sage-sphinx, Stephen Malkmus, the film features performances by Joe Keery, Jason Schwartzman, Tim Heidecker, Kathryn Gallagher, Michael Esper and Zoe Lister-Jones, and editing by nonfiction innovator Robert Greene (*Procession*).

&#8220;*A reminder that the fourth (and fifth and sixth) wall can be smashed, that the rock doc can be reinvented. And that when the message is meta for meta’s sake, why not make the medium that way, too?*&#8221; – Indiewire

&#8220;*In an age of musical biopic plenty, this semi-ironic, postmodern take — which runs through Perry&#8217;s part drama, part documentary, and part mockumentary — may be just what the doctor ordered*.&#8221; &#8211; Mashable

&#8220;*Captures the artistry, ingenuity and humor of its subject better than an encyclopedic history ever could&#8221;* &#8211; Little White Lies

*&#8220;Pavements is perfectly Pavement-y.*&#8221; &#8211; Exclaim!

The May 24th show of Spellbound will be preceded by Un Chien Andalou (dir. Luis Buñuel, 16 mins), an early film collaboration in partnership with Salvador Dali.

"The secret recesses of the mind are explored with brilliant and terrifying effect" (New York Herald Tribune) in this fascinating psychological thriller from Alfred Hitchcock. Featuring powerful performances from Ingrid Bergman and Gregory Peck, this masterpiece of mystery, romance and suspense boasts an Oscar-Winning score by Miklos Rozsa and a haunting dream sequence by Salvador Dali. Dr. Constance Peterson (Bergman) is a dedicated psychiatrist who puts all her passion into her work - until she falls in love with Dr. Edwards (Peck). Unfortunately, it soon becomes clear that Edwards is an impostor - an amnesiac - who may or may not be a cold-blooded murderer. Pursued by the police, Constance must decide whether to turn in her mysterious lover... or risk her life by trying to unlock the dark secrets in his mind.

Spellbound

When Hitchcock's REBECCA won Best Picture in ’41, he also had another film in contention: FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT. Expertly paced, it finds Hitchcock honing the formula of a breathless chase across multiple locations, even sketching out ideas later to appear in NORTH BY NORTHWEST.

The impulsive slugging of a cop by reporter John Jones (Joel McCrea) gets the attention of his editor, who seeks a scribe to cover Europe’s unstable situation without the biased tone of a foreign correspondent. Things get sinister when Jones’ first interview subject, a Dutch diplomat, is assassinated in a spectacularly Hitchcockian sequence involving a gazillion umbrellas. From there, Jones is embroiled in a deadly plot to undermine the stability of the Western world.

A flawless example of a classic Hollywood thriller with perfect balance between comedy, tension and visual ingenuity. The film is also a harbinger of things to come from the director, who also dabbled in war-themed shorts and chronicled WWII’s evolution in SABOTEUR and LIFEBOAT, followed by a perverse look at its aftermath in NOTORIOUS.

Director Edgar Wright stepped away from British comedies to direct this classic of Canadian cinema. *Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World*, Wright&#8217;s beloved cult classic, follows the titular Toronto slacker and indie rocker (Michael Cera) overcoming his beloved Ramona Flowers&#8217; seven evil exes and learning some self-respect in the process. Not only is Wright&#8217;s adaptation one of the best comic book movies ever, it&#8217;s one of the best video game movies, aping the structure of a sidescroller to give this wildly inventive comedy some 8-bit flair. Try not to fill up on garlic bread because movies as special as *Scott Pilgrim*only come around so often.

Leave logic at the door and embrace our insect overlords in one of the most hallucinatory films ever made! This singular cinematic oddity sprung from the minds of one of the great poets of the 20th century and one of the great filmmakers &#8211; and undoubtedly a huge amount of mind-altering substances!

There, he meets his wife&#8217;s doppelgänger and his typewriter morphs into a cockroach and begins to produce the book that the film is based upon. And that&#8217;s just the start of this surrealist masterpiece&#8217;s convoluted and mind-bending premise. Like all the best cult classics, this genre-defying head trip was a box office flop, but remains one of the strangest movies ever made and has amassed a loyal following of cinephiles, druggies, beatniks, and weirdos!

Dirty Looks presents Rosa von Praunheim's American Pride Provocation!

Rosa von Praunheim, *Armee der Liebenden oder Aufstand der Perversen* (*Army of Lovers or Revolt of the Perverts*), digital scan of the 16mm print, 107 mins., 1979.

*Title courtesy of missingFILMs with thanks to Liz Purchell. A limited edition riso print available to the first 50 attendees designed by Benjamin Rodgers.*

∆

*Army of Lovers or Revolt of the Perverts* (1979) is a trailblazing film by German provocateur Rosa von Praunheim documenting the 1970s emergence of Pride and the gay rights movement in America. Interviews with political organizers like Harry Hay (Mattachine Society, One), Del Martin and Phylis Lyon (Daughters of Bilitis), Jean O’Leary (National Gay Task Force), Sarah Montgomery (PFLAG) mash up with footage of Anita Bryant, Grace Jones, Fred Halsted and John Rechy. Interviewing gays across the country in prides marches, cruising spots and Mardi Gras parades, Praunheim provokes dialogue on the early movement’s conflicting stances on ableism, indigeneity, racism and sexism. This includes granting equal opportunity for input by members of gay organized religious sects, NAMBLA, the Gay Nazi Party to speak alongside the movement’s more cherished forebearers. Praunheim pushes the gay and lesbian agenda towards its political and conceptual breaking points, even leading a filmmaking class at SFAI to shoot a pornographic scenario in which their professor performs.

∆

Filmmaker and gay‐rights activist Rosa von Praunheim is one of the leading figures in gay and lesbian cinema and New German Cinema, although his deliberately controversial techniques, designed to challenge audiences, have sometimes caused him to be criticized by both gay and anti‐gay supporters. Praunheim originally studied painting in Berlin and was an assistant for such filmmakers as Werner Schroeter and Gregory J. Markopoulous. Praunheim made his first gay‐themed film, *Sisters of the Revolution*, in 1969. One of his most influential films was 1970′s made‐for‐TV outing, *It Is Not the Homosexual Who Is Perverse, But the Situation in Which He Lives*, another example of his usage of negative gay stereotypes to politicize their plight and plea for more rights. Not all of von Praunheim’s films focus on homosexuality; some deal with those living on the fringes of society.

Lightstruck presents a 3-program tribute to Gene Youngblood’s 1970 book Expanded Cinema!

Program 2: Cosmic Consciousness & Cybernetic Cinema

∆

In our second program focusing on Gene Youngblood’s 1970 book Expanded Cinema, Lightstruck will focus on artists who – through their visionary use of incredible machines both homemade and hi-tech – produced works that sought to extend and externalize human consciousness in a cinematic form uniting mind, heart, spirit, and soul. Youngblood was fascinated by the ambitious and artful employment of technology in motion pictures in the 1960s, and saw both the humble DIY innovations and the massive mainframes alike as potential conduits for enhanced human engagement, and an evolutionary stepping-stone for multi-sensorial exploration.

Trailblazing and wildly diverse computer animations by Stan VanDerBeek and Lillian Schwartz (each working with pioneer Ken Knowlton), as well as John Whitney and Michael Whitney, will establish the radical abstraction origins of the computer arts. In the analog domain, James Whitney’s rapturous masterpiece Lapis and three unparalleled films by Jordan Belson will make perhaps the most convincing possible argument for cinema as a vehicle for contemplative transcendence. The evening will conclude with what we believe to be the first 16mm performance of John Whitney Jr.’s legendary three-screen film, Side Phase Drift, in over 50 years, with John Jr. himself operating the center projector. This will definitely be a very special show not to be missed!

Program by Zena Grey and Mark Toscano. Notes by Mark Toscano. Poster art by Robert Beatty. Enormous thanks to John Whitney Jr. for his trust and time working with us to present his three-screen film, and to Raymond Foye for providing new 16mm screening prints of Jordan Belson’s films. Further thanks to John Whitney Jr. and the Academy Film Archive for providing the Whitney films. Thanks to The Henry Ford Museum and Kristen Gallerneaux for the Lillian Schwartz films, and the Film-makers’ Cooperative for the work of Stan VanDerBeek.

Turnstile: Never Enough is a forthcoming visual album by the American hardcore punk band Turnstile. This 60-minute film that serves as a companion piece to their upcoming fourth studio album, Never Enough, which is scheduled for release on June 6, 2025, via Roadrunner Records. The film is set to premiere at the 2025 Tribeca Festival. Directed by Turnstile&#8217;s frontman Brendan Yates and guitarist Pat McCrory, the visual album encompasses all 14 tracks from Never Enough. It aims to capture the band&#8217;s raw energy through striking cinematography and sound. The project marks the band&#8217;s first release featuring guitarist Meg Mills, who joined following the departure of founding member Brady Ebert in 2022. The film includes the title track &#8220;Never Enough,&#8221; as well as singles like &#8220;Seein’ Stars&#8221; and &#8220;Birds,&#8221; the latter featuring vocals by Paramore’s Hayley Williams and Blood Orange’s Devonté Hynes. These tracks have accompanying music videos directed by Yates and McCrory, which are expected to be part of the visual album.

TURNSTILE: NEVER ENOUGH

Brandon and Philip are two young men who share a New York City apartment. They consider themselves intellectually superior to their friend David Kentley, and as a consequence, decide to murder him. Together they strangle David with a rope and placing the body in an old chest, they proceed to hold a small party. The guests include David's father, his fiancée Janet, and their old schoolteacher Rupert, from whom they mistakenly took their ideas. As Brandon becomes increasingly more daring, Rupert begins to suspect.

Rope

Charlie Chaplin’s comedic masterwork—which charts a prospector’s search for fortune in the Klondike and his discovery of romance (with the beautiful Georgia Hale)—forever cemented the iconic status of Chaplin and his Little Tramp character. Shot partly on location in the Sierra Nevadas and featuring such timeless gags as the dance of the dinner rolls and the meal of boiled shoe leather, The Gold Rush is an indelible work of heartwarming hilarity.

### **ABOUT THE FILM:**

Pete and Terry Nessip (Wesley Snipes and Malcolm-Jamal Warner) are two U.S. Marshals escorting Earl Leedy (Michael Jeter), a computer criminal being transferred to a maximum security prison, when the plane they’re traveling on is hijacked by terrorists, resulting in the death of Terry and Earl’s daring escape from the law at 30,000 feet. The hijacking turns out to be the plot of ex-DEA agent turned skydiver Ty Moncrief who plans to break into the DEA mainframe in Washington DC, with the help of Leedy, to get back at the government that failed him. Pete Nessip, looking to avenge his brother’s death and get back his prisoner, teams up with skydiving instructor Jessie Crossmann to chase down Ty’s crew from the Florida Keys to Washington DC, before the fireworks go off on the 4th of July.

### **ABOUT THE FILM:**

Founder of the pioneering band Cro-Mags and a legend of the NYC Hardcore scene, Harley Flanagan is a punk rock icon who has defied the odds and come out the other side. But while his career has been a no-holds-barred ride, Wired for Chaos isn’t just about the music, it’s about a man forged in fire – a survivor of neglect, sexual abuse, drugs, violence and PTSD – who’s lived to tell the tale.

From his harsh childhood in the burnt-out Lower East Side, musician Harley Flanagan burst onto the punk music scene at age 11 as drummer for his aunt’s band, the Stimulators. The founder of the Cro-Mags tells his incredible story, while interviews with hard rockers and icons Flea, Ice-T, Henry Rollins, Anthony Imperioli and surprise guests add insights. Featuring gritty footage of NYC’s downtown 1970s and 80s music scene, this passionate film showcases Harley’s against-the-odds transformation from chaos to peace, driven by music, family, and personal growth.

**Screenwriter**: John Michael Hayes

**Producer**: Alfred Hitchcock

An all-time classic, Alfred Hitchcock’s delightful, voyeuristic thriller, starring Jimmy Stewart and Grace Kelly, is endlessly watchable, perfect for a film that is itself all about watching.

Stuck in his apartment with a broken leg and telescopic lens, a photojournalist (Stewart in one of his defining roles) distracts himself by observing the neighbors across the way. Most are just living normal lives — the newlyweds, a lady with her dog, a dancer with lots of boyfriends — but what’s going on in the Thorwald’s place? The bedridden Mrs. Thorwald seems to have mysteriously disappeared, and Mr. Thorwald is acting mighty suspicious. Enlisting help from his socialite girlfriend (the dazzling Kelly) and his physical therapist (much love to Thelma Ritter), our voyeuristic hero tries to make sense of what he’s seen — or at least what he thinks he’s seen.

Fruit Fly Sing-Along

**Screenwriter**: Pedro Almodóvar

**Producer**: Enrique Posner

One of maestro Pedro Almodóvar&#8217;s most provocative comedies, this twisted take on a love story is equal parts heart, horror, sensuality, and dark comedy. Newly released from a mental institution, Ricky (Antonio Banderas) heads straight for a reunion with the love of his life, B-movie actress Marina (Victoria Abril). The trouble is, Marina doesn&#8217;t remember him &#8212; or the fling they had during her years as a junkie and porn star. Determined to make Marina love him, Ricky barges into her apartment and ties her up. With a captive audience, Ricky is sure it&#8217;s only a matter of time before his beloved returns his affections. With all the color, humor, and punk rock effrontery you&#8217;ve come to expect from Almodóvar, this f-ed up Stockholm Syndrome rom com is the kind of boundary-pushing provocation that could never get made today.

A handsome young stud rides his motorcycle through a myriad of sexual fantasies, from a soccer game&#8217;s locker room to a dreamy and unsettling orgy where the porn reaches its melancholic peak. This undiscovered erotic film is a labyrinth of all-male fantasies whose outstanding beauties always end up fading away while leaving their sensual protagonist dealing with his own loneliness. Directed with absolute grace by the mysterious Dietrich de Velsa (aka Francis Savel / Frantz Salieri): this former painter was also the owner and artistic director of one of the first transvestites&#8217; cabaret of Paris, La Grande Eugène. Years later, he collaborated with Joseph Losey on Mr. Klein and Don Giovanni. EQUATION TO AN UNKNOWN is his only film and stands without a doubt as a masterpiece and the best French gay porn ever made.

### **ABOUT THE FILM:**

Harrison Ford stars in this fascinating, dark vision of the near future as a policeman who tracks engineered humans–a Blade Runner. In the year 2019, the police department forces Rick Deckard (Ford) out of retirement to hunt four genetically engineered humans who have come to earth. Designed to do difficult, hazardous work, the manufactured humans are stronger, faster and smarter than non-engineered humans. They feel no pain or remorse; they are almost indistinguishable from other humans… and they are killing people. Now Deckard must stop them before they kill again.

### **ABOUT THE FILM:**

The new film from the visionary director of PACIFICTION, Albert Serra’s AFTERNOONS OF SOLITUDE is a spellbinding documentary that turns its gaze on the ceremonial splendor and devastating brutality of bullfighting in Spain. With quiet intensity, Serra follows famed matador Andrés Roca Rey, from the solitude of his hotel room and the meticulousness of his preparations to the charged spectacle of the arena. Through his immersive and unhurried lens, Serra reveals Rey’s profound physical, spiritual, and aesthetic commitment to a centuries-old ritual—one that demands he take part in a timeless duel between man and beast.

### **ABOUT THE FILM:**

*In Cantonese and Mandarin with English subtitles.*

In 1937 after The Second Sino-Japanese War breaks out, a soldier and a young woman have an awkward meet-cute in darkness under a bridge as they seek refuge during a bomb raid. Although they can’t see each other’s faces they promise to meet again after the dust settles. Ten years later, the soldier, now a burgeoning songwriter and tuba-player in a marching band, is back in town desperately searching for his would-be soulmate. As fate would have it they end up living in the same building unbeknownst to each other. Through a series of mishaps he mistakes her new ingénue roommate for his love interest and wacky love triangle hijinks ensue. Consummate auteur Tsui Hark almost singlehandedly reinvented Hong Kong cinema in the ’80s and ’90s with uber-kinetic genre opuses, amping up cinematic spectacle whether with special effects or sheer unbridled energy. This Hong Kong–styled homage to the screwball comedies of yesteryear features black belt level slapstick and delightfully droll romcom shenanigans.

The great Charles Burnett's long unreleased/unfinished gem of American neorealism, an incredible portrait of South Central LA!

Charles Burnett's MY BROTHER'S WEDDING (`'83)– introduction by Maya S. Cade

**Screenwriters**: Calder Willingham, Buck Henry, Charles Webb

**Producers**: Mike Nichols,  Lawrence Turman

*Well, it&#8217;s very comfortable just to drift here. *If you dig nihilism with your sex comedy, look no further than Mike Nichols&#8217; brilliantly existential classic. Benjamin Braddock (Dustin Hoffman) has just finished college and, back at his parents&#8217; house, he&#8217;s trying to avoid the one question everyone keeps asking: What does he want to do with his life? An unexpected diversion crops up when he is seduced by Mrs. Robinson (Anne Bancroft), a bored housewife and friend of his parents. But what begins as a fun tryst turns complicated when Benjamin falls for the one woman Mrs. Robinson demanded he stay away from, her daughter, Elaine (Katharine Ross). Hoffman is pitch-perfect as he lazes his days on the pool floaty, Anne Bancroft is beyond iconic in this sexy, powerful, and manipulative role, and Mike Nichols is at his peak (and won the Oscar for Best Director). Add in a soundtrack by Simon and Garfunkel, and you&#8217;ve got unadulterated cinematic magic! Hilarious, influential, and more philosophical than your average comedy, this film is more than one of the best comedies of the 1960s, it&#8217;s simply one of the best American films ever.

Before *Blade Runner 2049 *and *Dune*, Denis Villeneuve directed this mind-bending sci-fi film about first contact between humanity and a mysterious alien race. Amy Adams stars as Louise Banks, a brilliant linguist assigned the difficult task of deciphering the language of an extraterrestrial species that has arrived on Earth. What do they want? Are they here on a mission of peace or is this the prelude to an invasion? Banks attempts to communicate with the aliens with the help of a fellow scientist (Jeremy Renner), and together their efforts will help determine the fate of mankind — and lead her to a shocking discovery about the nature of time and her own future.
