It’s Christmas Eve, and Ewa has plotted to pass the hours until morning with her former lover Janusz, a family man, by making him believe her husband has gone missing.

### **ABOUT THE EVENT:**

**DEKALOG, 1988, Dir. Krzysztof Kieślowski, Janus Films, Poland**

This masterwork by Krzysztof Kieślowski is one of the twentieth century’s greatest achievements in visual storytelling. Originally made for Polish television, DEKALOG focuses on the residents of a housing complex in late-Communist Poland, whose lives become subtly intertwined as they face emotional dilemmas that are at once deeply personal and universally human. Its ten hour-long films, drawing from the Ten Commandments for thematic inspiration and an overarching structure, grapple deftly with complex moral and existential questions concerning life, death, love, hate, truth, and the passage of time. Shot by nine different cinematographers, with stirring music by Zbigniew Preisner and compelling performances from established and unknown actors alike, DEKALOG arrestingly explores the unknowable forces that shape our lives.

### **ABOUT THE FILM:**

*In Swedish with English subtitles.*

Infused with a jazzy, nouvelle vague–inspired energy, Bo Widerberg’s feature debut has the freshness of youth. Building on his film criticism’s call for a socially relevant Swedish cinema, the writer turned director offers a vivid portrait of a young factory worker (Inger Taube) finding her way toward independence as she weathers unexpected pregnancy, learns hard lessons from relationships with two very different men, and leaves behind the only home she has ever known. Abetted by fellow filmmaker Jan Troell’s coolly beautiful monochrome cinematography, Widerberg takes a bold first step in his mission to create a cinema that is both engaged and engaging.

A Weekend with Bill Duke: Predator on 35mm

**Screenwriter**: Boots Riley

**Producers**: Aaron Ryder,  Andrew Swett,  Allison Rose Carter,  Jon Read,  Boots Riley

Get your eyeballs and brain ready for maximum explosiveness as Boots Riley&#8217;s newest inventive, hilarious, surreal, stylish, stop-motion-sprinkled, and utterly singular masterpiece hits our microcinema in all its dazzling propagandistic glory! The fashion, the fun, the gonzo satire &#8211; it&#8217;s the wildest ride in cinema this year and an absolute revelation for those of us who have been craving the return of originality to filmmaking. Keke Palmer heads a crew of professional fashion boosters out to resell expensive clothes at a discount, but when a fashion maven (Demi Moore at her bitchy best) vows to take them down, and an unexpected guest with a magical gadget appears &#8211; their quest begins to turn global. Boots Riley solidifies his place among America&#8217;s most inventive auteurs with yet another brilliantly bonkers but perennially relevant capitalist critique that will keep you laughing, gagging (at the FASHION), and cheering throughout.

Wanting to be heroes in each other&#8217;s and their hometown&#8217;s eyes, they set out on an unforgettable two-day trek that turns into an odyssey of self-discovery. They sneak smokes, tell tall tales, cuss &#8217;cause it&#8217;s cool, and band together when the going gets tough. When they encounter the town&#8217;s knife-wielding hoods who are also after the body, the boys discover a strength they never knew they had. One of the most enduring childhood films of the 1980s, this classic never gets old!

### **ABOUT THE FILM: **

Joel grew up in the church but has recently started questioning his beliefs. After sensing a supernatural presence from his deceased father, Joel becomes compelled to visit his cousin in New York. But shortly after arriving, they become embroiled in a series of mysterious homicides of local men, all of whom were last seen in the company of a mysterious and beautiful woman. Beautifully photographed by Ernest Dickerson (DO THE RIGHT THING) and starring Kadeem Hardison (I’M GONNA GIT YOU SUCKA) and Samuel L. Jackson (PULP FICTION), this sole directorial effort from child actor James Bond III is a macabre, neon-tinged portrait of late 1980s Brooklyn.

Scream Bloody Murder / Deranged

**Screenwriters**: Akira Fushimi, Geibei Ibushiya, Yasujirō Ozu

One of Ozu&#8217;s most popular films, *I Was Born, But . . .* is a blithe portrait of the financial and psychological toils of one family, as told from the rascally point of view of a couple of stubborn little boys. For two brothers, the daily struggles of bullies and mean teachers is nothing next to the mortification they feel when they realize their good-natured father’s low-rung social status. Reworked decades later as Ozu&#8217;s Technicolor comedy *Good Morning*, it&#8217;s a poignant evocation of the tumult of childhood, as well as a showcase for Ozu&#8217;s expertly timed comedy editing.

I Was Born, But…

**Screenwriters**: Lizzie Borden,  Sandra Kay

**Producers**: Lizzie Borden, Andi Gladstone

One of the unsexiest films about sex workers ever, Lizzie Borden&#8217;s sophomore feature is a frank and funny portrait of the ladies of the night and a non-glamorized view of their work and their world. Sex work is portrayed with radical nonjudgment in Lizzie Borden’s immersive, richly detailed look at the rhythms and rituals of society’s most stigmatized profession. Inspired by the experiences of the sex workers Borden met while making her underground feminist landmark *Born in Flames, Working Girls* reveals the textures of a day in the life of Molly (Louise Smith), a photographer working part-time in a Manhattan brothel, as she juggles a steady stream of clients, balances nurturing relationships with her coworkers with the demands of an ambitious madam, and above all fights to maintain her sense of self in a business in which the line between the personal and the professional is all too easily blurred. In viewing prostitution through the lens of labor, Borden boldly desensationalizes the subject, offering an empathetic, humanizing, often humorous depiction of women for whom this work is just another day at the office.

LICORICE PIZZA in 70mm

Before Carrie (1976) launched Brian De Palma’s career into the stratosphere, there was PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE (1974), a film far louder, stranger, and more colorful than the thrillers he would become known for.

A vicious satire of the music industry, the film follows Winslow Leach, a gifted songwriter who falls prey to Swan, a ruthless record producer who squeezes artists for everything they’re worth, and discards them once they’re no longer profitable. Blending Phantom of the Opera, glam rock, horror, and black comedy, De Palma transforms the corrupt machinery of fame into a neon nightmare of contracts, exploitation, and revenge.

**Screenwriters**: Jean-Luc Godard, from the novel *Fool&#8217;s Gold* by Dolores Hitchens

One of Jean-Luc Godard&#8217;s most charming crime capers, cinema doesn&#8217;t get much cooler than this laissez-faire dalliance with love, danger, friendship, and amateur criminality. Cinephile slackers Franz and Arthur spend their days mimicking the antiheroes of Hollywood noirs and Westerns while pursuing the lovely Odile (the iconic Anna Karina at her most adorably luminous). The misfit trio upends convention at every turn, be it through choreographed dances in cafés or frolicsome romps through the Louvre. Eventually, their romantic view of outlaws pushes them to plan their own heist, but their inexperience may send them out in a blaze of glory &#8212; which could be just what they want. With a soundtrack from Michel Legrand and an infectious nonchalance, this is fizzy French fun at its best!

Mezzanine presents LOVE LETTER, directed by Shunji Iwai (1995, Japan, 117m, digital).

L.A. premiere of a brand-new 4K restoration.

~

The debut feature from the great Japanese filmmaker Shunji Iwai (ALL ABOUT LILY CHOU-CHOU) is a ‘90s romantic drama par excellence, featuring real-life J-pop idol Miho Nakayama in a dual role. Set among the picturesque, snowy vistas of Hokkaidō, the film follows Hiroko (Nakayama), a young widow whose fiancé Itsuki died tragically two years ago. On a whim, she sends a letter to his childhood address, and is surprised to receive a response from a female Itsuki (Nakayama), who just so happens to be her fiancé’s former classmate. Their continued exchanges stir up childhood memories and revelations, as the two women deepen their relationship and come to terms with adulthood. Shot by Iwai’s longtime cinematographer Noboru Shinoda, the film’s sumptuous widescreen photography and warm sentimentality is a paean to the heyday of 1990s arthouse cinema.

A Film Movement release. Special thanks to Erin Farrell (Film Movement).

“Iwai tapped into the dreams and lives of Japan’s youth with his lyrical meditations on the hardships of young adulthood, capturing pivotal and unforgettable moments of life. Balancing popular entertainment with arthouse predilection, Iwai’s exhilarating takes on the youth film provided a much-needed voice for the younger generation, offering delicate portraits of adolescence, ripe with poetic yearnings of grief, friendship and young love. Iwai’s sumptuous visual style coupled with his affecting and underground appeal opened a world of new possibilities in the ’90s cinescape—marking him as one of the most accomplished and unique filmmakers of his generation.” -Japan Society

“This yearning quality is this tremendously moving film’s greatest strength, a humanity that makes LOVE LETTER resonate decades later.” -The Brooklyn Rail

A vivid, visceral adaptation of *Macbeth*, Akira Kurosawa&#8217;s Shakespearean tale of ambition and duplicity in a ghostly, fog-enshrouded landscape in feudal Japan.

**Screenwriter**: Mark Jenkin

**Producer**: Denzil Monk

Prepare yourself for a hypnotic analog time machine of a filmgoing experience with Mark Jenkin&#8217;s otherworldly 16mm science fiction artifact *Rose of Nevada*.  In a small fishing village, a mysterious boat returns 30 years after vanishing into the vastness of the ocean. Two men join its crew hoping for better fortune. After one voyage, they find themselves transported back in time, mistaken for the original crew, and trapped in this other time, unable to return to their own lives in the future. Like a long-form extra existential *Twilight Zone* shot on gorgeous 16mm film with perfectly unnerving sound design, *Rose of Nevada* looks and feels like the time-traversing vessel of its story. In a world of 4K digital imagery, take a step back and appreciate the ultra-saturated 4:3 beauty of 16mm film as you marvel at the disquieting magic of this timeless and ageless masterpiece.

Rose of Nevada

**Screenwriters**: Stewart Raffill,  Gary Brockette

**Producer**: Diane Kirman

Directed by Stewart Raffill (*Mac and Me, The Ice Pirates*), *Tammy and the T-Rex* is a love story as old as time. This post-*Jurassic* jam stars Denise Richards and the late Paul Walker in an unprecedented mishmash of rom-com tropes and R-rated horror thrills. When Paul is mauled by the local zoo’s toothier residents, his love affair with Denise doesn’t cease—even after his brain is transplanted into an ancient animatronic predator. Originally filmed as a gorefest with impressive splatter by SFX guru John Carl Buechler, *Tammy* was cut to PG-13, funneled straight-to-video, and inexplicably marketed as a “kids’ film.” Thanks to the intrepid efforts of top-notch archival pals Vinegar Syndrome, this gonzo gem is fully restored!

Originally released on June 20, 1975, JAWS, based on the best-selling novel by Peter Benchley, became the first true summer blockbuster and a cultural tsunami. It shattered every record to become the highest-grossing film of the year, earning a nomination for Best Picture and winning three Academy Awards, including one for John Williams’ iconic musical score. Five decades later, JAWS has become inexorable from global film culture, has inspired multiple generations of filmmakers and remains one of the most thrilling, terrifying and unforgettable films of all time.

∆

In celebration of the 250th anniversary of the United States, and in honor of the late Ken Jacobs, we present his epic tribute to the United States of America.

“Is an epic film shot for hundreds of dollars! Combining found-films with my own more-or-less staged filming, it pictures a stolen and dangerously sold-out America, allowing examples of popular culture to self-indict. Racial and religious insanity, monopolization of wealth and the purposeful dumbing down of citizens and addiction to war oppose a beat playfulness. A handful of artists costumed and performing unconvincingly appeal to audience imagination and understanding to complete the picture. Jack Smith's pre-Flaming Creatures performance as The Spirit Not Of Life But Of Living (the movie has raggedly cosmic pretensions), celebrating Suffering (rattled and impoverished artist Jerry Sims) at the crux of sentient existence, is truly a visitation of the divine. Assisted by Nisi Jacobs” – Ken Jacobs

Special Thanks to Azazel Jacobs.

Jacques Tati’s gloriously choreographed, nearly wordless comedies about confusion in an age of high technology reached their apotheosis with PLAYTIME. For this monumental achievement, a nearly three-year-long, bank-breaking production, Tati again thrust the lovably old-fashioned Monsieur Hulot, along with a host of other lost souls, into a baffling modern world, this time Paris. With every inch of its superwide frame crammed with hilarity and inventiveness, PLAYTIME is a lasting record of a modern era tiptoeing on the edge of oblivion.

### **ABOUT THE FILM:**

Nevada, the “leave it” state: a gathering ground for misfits, burnouts, empty bottles and spare atom bombs. It’s home to a host of interesting strangers: Roslyn; a beautiful but naive woman, reeling from a shotgun divorce, who has never stepped foot out of Reno, and Guido and Gay; a pair of erstwhile cowboys with a half-finished house in the sticks and bittersweet memories of a west that’s no longer wild. Roslyn moves out to the country and tentatively begins to build a home with Gay, but is soon on the move again when Guido returns and takes them on a road trip to round up wild mustangs, picking up a rodeo-rocked bull rider along the way to serve as an extra pair of hands. Arriving in the desert, tensions increase when Roslyn learns of the horses’ grisly fate and the men around her are forced to confront their anachronistic lifestyles and their individual failures.

### **ABOUT THE EVENT:**

**DEKALOG, 1988, Dir. Krzysztof Kieślowski, Janus Films, Poland**

This masterwork by Krzysztof Kieślowski is one of the twentieth century’s greatest achievements in visual storytelling. Originally made for Polish television, DEKALOG focuses on the residents of a housing complex in late-Communist Poland, whose lives become subtly intertwined as they face emotional dilemmas that are at once deeply personal and universally human. Its ten hour-long films, drawing from the Ten Commandments for thematic inspiration and an overarching structure, grapple deftly with complex moral and existential questions concerning life, death, love, hate, truth and the passage of time. Shot by nine different cinematographers, with stirring music by Zbigniew Preisner and compelling performances from established and unknown actors alike, DEKALOG arrestingly explores the unknowable forces that shape our lives.

**Screenwriters**: Jean-Luc Godard, from the novel *Fool&#8217;s Gold* by Dolores Hitchens

One of Jean-Luc Godard&#8217;s most charming crime capers, cinema doesn&#8217;t get much cooler than this laissez-faire dalliance with love, danger, friendship, and amateur criminality. Cinephile slackers Franz and Arthur spend their days mimicking the antiheroes of Hollywood noirs and Westerns while pursuing the lovely Odile (the iconic Anna Karina at her most adorably luminous). The misfit trio upends convention at every turn, be it through choreographed dances in cafés or frolicsome romps through the Louvre. Eventually, their romantic view of outlaws pushes them to plan their own heist, but their inexperience may send them out in a blaze of glory &#8212; which could be just what they want. With a soundtrack from Michel Legrand and an infectious nonchalance, this is fizzy French fun at its best!

Get lost in Peter Weir&#8217;s haunting dream of a film &#8211; an enduring and enigmatic mystery, and considered to be the greatest Australian film of all time.

When a group of English school girls set out on a field trip to a stunning but treacherous rock formation, no one could imagine that several of the girls and one of the teachers would never arrive home, setting off a spiral of grief and enduring unanswerable questions.

Join us for the 30th Anniversary of this addictive cult classic, newly restored in 4K! Smart, funny, sickly and sometimes just plain unconscious, Mark Renton is a hero for our times. Set in an underbelly of Edinburgh the city fathers never dreamed of, *Trainspotting* is the story of Mark and his so-called friends &#8211; a bunch of losers, liars, psychos, thieves and junkies. Hilarious but harrowing, the film charts the disintegration of their friendship as they proceed, seemingly inevitably, towards self-destruction.

Lightstruck presents *Jordan Belson: Knowledge Beyond Words pgm II.*

On June 25 and July 9, Lightstruck is honored to present two evenings devoted to one of cinema's unparalleled visionaries – Jordan Belson – an artist and filmmaker whose singular body of work has justifiably been the subject of devoted contemplation and ecstatic appreciation for over six decades. Belson's films defy concrete description, which is part of their deep and personal appeal, hinting as they do at "a knowledge that is beyond words", as Belson once told writer and curator Raymond Foye (to whom we are greatly indebted for being able to present these programs). While his earliest films embodied more familiar aspects of mid-century non-objective visual art, the early 1960s marked a radical shift into intensely mystical and elusive imagery – achieved largely through Belson's own remarkable photographic techniques – to give miraculous form to the innermost regions of imagination and consciousness.

Our second program devoted to the films of Jordan Belson spans his career up to the early 1970s, with a selection of ever-evolving and -expanding techniques of singularly mystical expression, most films screening on recently struck 16mm prints, courtesy of the Belson estate and Raymond Foye. Inspired by relationships to the worlds of Non-Objective art, jazz, meditation, and encounters with West Coast artist friends such as Harry Smith and James Whitney, Belson was consistently exploring and discovering new methods and mediums of visualization that engage with a level of consciousness which feels thrilling and otherworldly, yet somehow deeply familiar. In the late 1950s, through his planetarium “Vortex Concerts” in collaboration with sound artist Henry Jacobs, Belson amplified his vision with complex multimedia light shows which helped define the concept of “expanded cinema” and greatly influenced his filmmaking techniques. In the late 1960s, he began exploring the medium of video, synthesizing multilayered contemplations in such films as Cosmos. In 1974, Belson would team up with video artist, musician, and polymediast, Stephen Beck, to produce one of the ultimate visionary fusions of film and video in Cycles, which will conclude the evening in a glorious 16mm print.

The films screening in this program are: Bop Scotch (1952), Mandala (1952), Séance (1959), Re-Entry (1964), Momentum (1968), Cosmos (1969), Light (1973), Union (1975, by Stephen Beck), and Cycles (1974, by Jordan Belson & Stephen Beck).

Huge thanks to (and all films courtesy of) Raymond Foye and the Jordan Belson estate, with additional thanks to Stephen Beck and Electronic Arts Intermix for providing Union. Notes and program by Zena Grey and Mark Toscano.

### **ABOUT THE FILM:**

Freddie Quell (Joaquin Phoenix) is a mentally unstable WWII veteran whose search for purpose is complicated when he forms a profound yet explosive bond with author Lancaster Dodd (Philip Seymour Hoffman), the leader of a mysterious philosophical movement known as “the Cause.” Driven by astonishing performances, this deep character study is also a visually stunning exploration of religion, power and social structures.

THE MASTER in 70mm

**In Person: James N. Kienitz Wilkins**

In a tragicomedy about millennials turning forty, *The Misconceived* continues the journey of Tyler from *The Plagiarists* (2019). *The Misconceived* is a 3D-rendered feature film about home renovation that doubles as an acidic and comic treatise on the working conditions of the contemporary creative class.

Starring John Magary, Jesse Wakeman, Jess Barbagallo, J. Dixon Byrne, and Callie Hernandez.

#### Director&#8217;s Statement

*The Misconceived* is a tragicomedy about millennials turning forty, which follows a struggling yet entitled white American male found throughout the annals of indie film who apprehends his likely cultural irrelevance during the Biden era.

The film utilizes experimental 3D-rendered processes entirely within a video game engine, utilizing motion capture, facial recognition, voice performance, and a vast library of stock media. *The Misconceived* takes full advantage of the new ability to shoot in virtual worlds and a marketplace of 3D architectural and character models to create an uncanny mirror to contemporary society (notably, not using generative AI).

In many ways, the movie is an argument for and against its right to exist.

### **ABOUT THE FILM: **

*In French, Farsi, and German with English subtitles. *

Persepolis is the poignant story of a young girl coming-of-age in Iran during the Islamic Revolution. It is through the eyes of precocious and outspoken nine-year-old Marjane that we see a people’s hopes dashed as fundamentalists take power — forcing the veil on women and imprisoning thousands.
