Going above and beyond for humanity is not what Ryland Grace (Ryan Gosling) signed up for. More content to hide in a classroom teaching high school science, Grace is thrust quite unwilling into space as Earth’s last hope for survival. Guided by a no-nonsense terrestrial leader in the form of Eva Stratt (Sandra Hüller in a show-stopping performance) and an exuberant extra-terrestrial partner in the form of Rocky (brilliantly performed and voiced by James Ortiz), our hero will discover if he has what it takes to save himself–and the rest of us in the process. Directed with wit and wonder by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, based on the bestseller by Andy Weir.

2026. USA. Directed by Phil Lord, Christopher Miller. Screenplay by Drew Goddard, Andy Weird. With Ryan Gosling, Sandra Hüller, James Ortiz. DCP courtesy Amazon MGM Studios. 156 min.

7pm | 55-minute screening

JOAN and Now Instant Image Hall presents a selection of experimental films by Colectivo Los Ingrávidos, an anonymous film collective founded in Tehuacán, Mexico, in 2012.

Emerging amid widespread protests against the Mexican government during the later years of the “War on Drugs,” the collective developed a radical audiovisual language in response to a period of political upheaval that marked a turning point for many in Mexico. Through psychedelic colors, layered analog film, and rhythmic soundscapes, their films preserve the memory of those affected by mass violence, from protesters and the disappeared to the dead.

For Colectivo Los Ingrávidos, anonymity is a political strategy that challenges the artist-centered logic of neoliberalism, which privileges individual authorship and intention in the production and interpretation of art. By working collectively, the group resists the notion of the singular artist as the primary source of meaning and value. Their commitment to collective authorship carries particular weight in Mexico, one of the world’s most dangerous countries for journalists, where reporting on organized crime and political corruption is often met with state retaliation.

The selected films draw on key moments in Mexican history, from Aztec mythology to the 1968 Tlatelolco massacre and the 2014 forced disappearance of the 43 Ayotzinapa student teachers. These historical references intersect with contemporary protests that bring enduring histories of violence into public consciousness. Colectivo Los Ingrávidos describes its aesthetic approach as “shamanic materialism,” combining expired film stock, found footage, color inversion, and organic materials that alter the surface of celluloid. The resulting images create a disorienting, trance-like experience that jolts the senses. Through these layered compositions, the collective exhumes fragments of collective memory that remain largely absent from mainstream television and commercial cinema.

Screening at Now Instant Image Hall

939 Chung King Rd., Los Angeles, CA 90012

El Nido del Sol2021, 5 min.

Drawing on ancient Aztec mythology, El Nido del Sol references Xólotl, the canine deity; Huitzilin, the hummingbird; and Xóchitl, the flower. Vivid, saturated images of flowers blend into one another, accompanied by rhythmic drumming. Translating to The Nest of the Sun, the title evokes the spiritual interconnectedness of celestial beings and the natural world in Indigenous Mexican cosmologies.

Batalla2017, 4 min.

A tribute to Aldo Gutiérrez Solano, a student at the Ayotzinapa Rural Teachers’ College who was among those attacked by police on September 26, 2014. That night, students traveling in buses in Iguala, Guerrero, were attacked while preparing to travel to Mexico City for the annual commemoration of the 1968 Tlatelolco student massacre. Forty-three students were forcibly disappeared, while Gutiérrez Solano survived a gunshot wound to the head that left him in a persistent vegetative state. Investigations have implicated local police, organized crime, and members of the Mexican military in the events surrounding the attacks and disappearances.

Altazor2019, 3 min.

An audiovisual tribute to Chilean poet Vicente Huidobro’s 1931 avant-garde poem Altazor. The poem follows a cosmic aviator in free fall through time, space, and infinity, exploring the limits of language and the nature of human existence.

Tonalli2021, 16 min.

Drawing on the ancient Nahuatl concept of tonalli, understood as the vital energy that animates living beings, the film alludes to the Day of the Dead and its roots to Indigenous Mesoamerican civilizations. Two heads, one a skull and the other a clay figure, fade in and out of view, each surrounded by flowers.

Aria 682023, 4 min.

Aria 68 revisits the historical trauma and recurring cyclices of violence surrounding the Tlatelolco student massacre, which took place in Mexico City on October 2, 1968. A recurring subject in the collective’s filmography, the massacre forms the basis for this “shamanic composition,” an intense audiovisual reflection on the enduring legacies of state violence in contemporary Mexico.

Notes for a Deja Vu2020, 22 min.

Scenes of contemporary protests unfold through freeway tunnels and the streets of downtown Mexico City, where demonstrators carry banners and images, including depictions of the Virgin Mary, flyers of missing women, and slogans commemorating the Tlatelolco Massacre. The footage is accompanied by the voice of poet, filmmaker, and artist Jonas Mekas, who reflects on the fragmented nature of memory.

****DEATH WISH CLUB (1984) is a film that was repackaged many times for the home video market, desperately trying and failing to find an audience (also known as *Gretta*, also known as *Carnival of Fools*, also known as *Erskine Caldwell's Gretta, a*lso known as *The Dark Side to Love)*. However it's mostly known in a heavily edited down short form as *The Case of Gretta Connors*, a part of the NIGHT TRAIN TO TERROR horror anthology, which is unfortunate as its full 90 minute version must be seen to be believed!

Directed by John Carr, written by controversial Oscar-winning screenwriter Philip Yordan (!), and based very loosely on the 1955 Erskine Caldwell novel *Gretta,* the full cut of DEATH WISH CLUB unfolds a story that at no point will you know what comes next.

Rich misanthrope George Youngmeyer (J. Martin Sellers) meets the eccentric Gretta (the incredible Meridith Haze in her only known role) working at the carnival, stuffs a few hundred dollar bills down her shirt and takes her home. Gretta wants to be "a star" so Youngmeyer introduces her to the world of pornography. After seeing one of her films in his dorm, college student Glenn Marshall (Rick Barnes) becomes infatuated with the actress, and follows the clues from the adult store where the film was rented, to the production company that produced the picture, eventually finding himself face to face with Gretta, who is playing the piano pantsless at the shady "Club Manhattan". Glenn is sucked into a dangerous triad, and what follows becomes more incredulous from one moment to the next, including getting caught up in the titular "Death Wish Club".

Gender swapping, seances, giant bug POV shots, demolition balls, electric chairs, karate, and so much more await you in DEATH WISH CLUB.

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.

*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.

**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.

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.

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.

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?

**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.

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

The Life of Sean DeLear (2024), pres. by Hollywood Entertainment

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.

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.

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.

### **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!

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.

A SNAKE OF JUNE (2002)

Jamal Malik, an 18-year old orphan form the slums of Mumbai, is just one question away from winning a staggering 20 million rupees on India's "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?". 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.”

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)*

Paradise Alley

Henri is a frustrated teenager living with his parents in a provincial French coastal town. When they drag him to the train station to bid adieu to his sister, Henri sneaks off to a secluded bathroom and interrupts a hustler named Jean satisfying the masochistic desires of an older male client. Henri falls desperately in love with the sexy criminal, but Jean evades Henri’s affections. Undeterred, Henri shadows Jean as he traverses the dark and dangerous underbelly of their sleepy village. But as he descends deeper and deeper into Jean’s world, there may not be an easy way out. Patrice Chéreau’s 1983 drama is a revelation: an amazingly accomplished work that genuinely channels the transgressive, unsanitized sensibility of Jean Genet, boasting a breakout lead performance by young Jean-Hugues Anglade and a script that took co-writers Chéreau and legendary gay French author and activist Hervé Guibert six years to perfect. The result is a rich, strange, and sumptuous film leading us to exhilaratingly mysterious and unfamiliar spaces both physical and psychological.
