Juice with Ernest Dickerson

Academy Museum

A short documentary following C.O.F.F.I.N from their beginnings as teenagers on Sydney’s Northern Beaches to becoming one of Australia’s most respected contemporary rock’n’roll bands.

Told through over 20 years of archival footage, interviews, unseen material and life on the road, the film explores how persistence, friendship and the surrounding culture of the Northern Beaches shaped the band’s identity, music and worldview.

At the centre of the story are the decades-long friendships that built C.O.F.F.I.N, from founding members Ben Portnoy and Abijah Rado, who began performing together at age 12, to the later additions of Aaron Moss and Steven ‘Kosty’ Kostogiannis. Together, the film explores their deep personal bonds and shared history that shaped the band long before the music itself.

Featuring commentary from family, collaborators and figures across the Australian music community, alongside live in-studio performances and early previews of unreleased music, the film offers an intimate inside view into who C.O.F.F.I.N is.

### **ABOUT THE FILM:**

*In German, Norwegian, French, Swedish and English with English subtitles.*

*“EDVARD MUNCH is the most personal film I have ever made. Its genesis lies in a visit to the Edvard Munch Museum in Oslo, in 1968, during the time of a screening of several of my films by the Oslo University. I was awestruck by the strength of Munch’s canvases, especially those depicting the sad life of his family, and was very moved by the artist’s directness – with the people in his canvases looking straight at us. I also felt a personal affinity with his linking of past and present, e.g., in the large painting showing the anguish of his family as his sister Sophie is dying: the artist and his brothers and sisters are depicted as adults – as they were in the 1890s when he painted this scene – even though the event had taken place ca. 20 years earlier. On another occasion, I was also very moved by Munch’s masterpiece ‘Death of a Child,’ hanging in the National Gallery in Oslo; in this painting the artist is broken, and has, in an almost desperate frenzy, blurred the form of his earlier depiction of Sophie’s death. This painting, in its time, was attacked as being ‘incomplete’ – a charge which branded certain of his other works as well.*

*“It took me three years to persuade Norwegian TV (NRK) to fund this film, and in the end it only happened because Swedish TV convinced them to participate in a co-production.” – Peter Watkins*

The people have spoken and they want more ASCO, so we&#8217;re bringing back the infectious creativity of this essential LA Chicano documentary treasure! From executive producers Gael García Bernal and Diego Luna *ASCO: Without Permission* challenges the limits of documentary conventions to tell the story of a revolutionary Chicano art group who turned 1970s LA into their defiant canvas. Merging activism with radical artmaking, ASCO challenged the established order of Hollywood, museums, and media and are now considered amongst the 20th century&#8217;s most significant artists. Director Travis Gutiérrez Senger mirrors their boundary-breaking spirit through a groundbreaking approach, weaving nonfiction, and fiction together with a new generation of artists. The result is more than a profile &#8212; it&#8217;s a reimagining of what&#8217;s possible in art and cinema, celebrating iconoclasts who were decades ahead of their time.

ASCO: Without Permission

**Screenwriter:** Guillermo Arriaga

**Producer:** Alejandro González Iñárritu

Co-Presented by the **MUBI Podcast **featuring an in-person introduction from MUBI Podcast host**** Rico Gagliano!****

Considered by many as one of the best Mexican films of all time, *Amores Perros* is a visceral, emotional look at the intertwined lives of three perfect strangers in Mexico City — a supermodel, a rebellious adolescent, and an ex-guerrilla now living on the streets — all brought together by the seemingly inconsequential destiny of a dog. The directorial debut of Alejandro G. Iñárritu, this award-winning film is bold, ambitious, and, once seen, never forgotten. After 25 years, Alejandro González Iñárritu’s legendary debut returns to the big screen in a stunning restoration.

**The MUBI Podcast** is an audio documentary series telling the stories of great cinema: How it happens, and why it matters.  Listen where you get your podcasts: [mubi.io/podcast](http://mubi.io/podcast)

In the episode dropping July 16, host Rico Gagliano gets the origin story of *Amores Perros*, straight from the legends who made it: director Alejandro Iñárritu and his cinematographer, Rodrigo Prieto.  From Iñárritu&#8217;s leap behind the camera after hosting Mexico City&#8217;s most notorious radio show, to Prieto&#8217;s f*%k-it experiments with the movie&#8217;s actual negative, it&#8217;s a tale of two iconoclasts who figured this was their shot at revolutionizing Mexican cinema&#8230;and did.

### **ABOUT THE FILM:**

Kenneth Branagh and Emma Thompson give dazzling dual-role performances in this supernatural-tinged romantic murder mystery. Mike Church (Branagh) is a L.A. gumshoe with a knack for tossing off wisecracks and tracking down missing persons. But Church doesn’t have a clue when he’s hired to help a beautiful amnesia victim (Thompson) tormented by blood-curdling nightmares. Then an eccentric antiques dealer and hypnotist (Derek Jacobi) leads Church to a startling discovery: The source of the nightmares may lie in a past-life connection to Margaret Strauss, a world-famous pianist allegedly murdered by her composer husband… in 1948. In the classic tradition of Spellbound and Rebecca, DEAD AGAIN “brings an entertaining genre back to life” (Tom Jacobs, Los Angeles Daily News). Costarring Andy Garcia.

It&#8217;s Showtime Folks! Bob Fosse only made a handful of films (in between revolutionizing the world of dance), and while all are impressive, none deliver as much razzle-dazzle as this seminal semi-autobiographical masterpiece. Joe Gideon (Roy Scheider) is at the top of his craft as one of the most successful directors and choreographers in musical theater. But he can feel his world slowly collapsing around him &#8211; his obsession with work has almost destroyed his personal life, and only his bottles of pills keep him going. Winner of the Palme d&#8217;Or at the Cannes Film Festival and nominated for 9 Academy Awards, *All That Jazz* is a musical like no other and a cinematic triumph on every level.

**Screenwriter:** Sadayuki Murai

Visionary director Satoshi Kon brings us this intense animated psychological thriller for the social media era. Rising pop star Mima has quit singing to pursue a career as an actress and model, but her fans aren’t ready to see her go, and when she takes on a recurring role on a popular TV show, suddenly her handlers and collaborators begin turning up dead. Harboring feelings of guilt and haunted by visions of her former self, Mima’s reality and fantasy meld into a frenzied paranoia. As her stalker closes in, in person and online, the threat he poses is more real than even Mima knows. Considered an undeniable animated classic, *Perfect Blue* is the debut film from legendary director Satoshi Kon, who would go on to gift us *Millennium Actress*, *Tokyo Godfathers*, and *Paprika. *Hailed as the first animated film to feature an authentic psychological suspense story, this film was acclaimed at international film festivals and was released in theaters in Japan in 1998. Blending a play within a play, the story unfolds as fiction and reality, dreams and delusions, and cyberspace intertwine—like an optical illusion.

Los Angeles Filmforum presents films by Yoko Ono.

In conjunction with The Broad’s exhibition *Yoko Ono: Music of the Mind*, Filmforum presents some films of hers not included in the exhibition, along with a few others that are.

Full info: www.lafilmforum.org

∆

The films of Yoko Ono demand that one slows down to view them. They might be humorous or rarified, reserved or unruly, precise or uncontrolled. Plot is not important; the idea behind them is, and calls for absorption in the space and time to look closer, perhaps to meditate or to dream. While a few of these are installed in the exhibition at The Broad and others are not, the opportunity to sit with them in full in a darkened room allows the possibility of a full appreciation.

“All Ono’s films are fundamentally conceptual, and are characterized by the same concerns that underpin her work in other media: the body, duration, ephemerality, seriality, measurement, language, an active engagement of the viewer as participant, a performative structure, attention to the properties of the material, and a break with the autonomous work of art. Many of these tenets later characterized both Conceptual Art and structural film for which Fluxus film is now acknowledged as an important precursor. In 1961, the Fluxus artist Henry Flynt wrote a definitive essay, “Concept Art,” in which he gave the first definition of Conceptual Art; terming it ‘concept art’ and ‘structure art,’ he linked it to the principles of experimental music being established by composers uch as La Monte Young, with whom Ono was presenting concerts in her Chambers Street loft the year Flynt’s text was written” – Chrissie Iles, “Erotic Conceptualism: The Films of Yoko Ono,” in Yes Yoko Ono (Japan Society & Harry N. Abrams, 2000), p. 202.

Guido Anselmi, a film director, finds himself creatively barren at the peak of his career. Urged by his doctors to rest, Anselmi heads for a luxurious resort, but a sorry group gathers—his producer, staff, actors, wife, mistress, and relatives—each one begging him to get on with the show. In retreat from their dependency, he fantasizes about past women and dreams of his childhood.

Leonard Shelby is tracking down the man who raped and murdered his wife. The difficulty of locating his wife&#8217;s killer, however, is compounded by the fact that he suffers from a rare, untreatable form of short-term memory loss. Although he can recall details of life before his accident, Leonard cannot remember what happened fifteen minutes ago, where he&#8217;s going, or why.

Revisiting the groundbreaking feminist performance art movement in 1970s–1980s Los Angeles, one artist spotlights the inspirational, transformational, radical community exploding the narrative and status quo. Through interviews, archival footage, and personal reflections, feminist artist Cheri Gaulke revisits a foundational Los Angeles art space, the Woman’s Building (1973–1991), laying bare how a collective of artists transformed their bodies and voices through performance art into a powerful tool for activism, reshaping the cultural landscape for generations of women.
 
Join us in the Harold M. Williams Auditorium lobby from 1–3pm before the screening for a special viewing of archival objects from the Woman’s Building, accompanied by a conversation between Cheri Gaulke and Getty Research Institute chief curator Glenn Phillips starting at 3pm.

### **ABOUT THE FILM:**

Robert Goodwin wrote, produced and directed this lost gem of American independent cinema. Opening during a tense meeting between members of an underground Black Power group that leads to a stunning foot chase, Goodwin’s film weaves past and present to tell the story of the social awakening of a character only referred to as “the drifter” (screen legend Bernie Casey in his first starring role!). Shot on both 35mm and video and boasting a fierce, early performance from L.A. Rebellion icon Barbara O. Jones, BLACK CHARIOT is a fascinatingly iconoclastic revelation. Though world-premiered at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium in 1971, BLACK CHARIOT has remained under-screened for decades — until now.

Though happily married to his adoring wife Hélène, with whom he is expecting a second child, the thoroughly bourgeois business executive Frédéric cannot banish from his mind the multitude of attractive Parisian women who pass him by every day. His flirtations and fantasies remain harmless until Chloé (played by the mesmerizing Zouzou), an audacious, unencumbered old flame, shows up at his office, embodying the first genuine threat to Frédéric’s marriage. The luminous final chapter to Rohmer’s “Moral Tales” is a tender, sobering, and wholly adult affair that leads to perhaps the most overwhelmingly emotional moment in the entire series.

Against political resistance and industry skepticism, Luis Valdez pushes Chicano storytelling from the fields to the film screen with *Zoot Suit *and* La Bamba*, crafting iconic works that challenge, celebrate, and expand America’s story.

An auteur emerges from America’s underclass: from migrant farmworker to revolutionary artist, Luis Valdez changed American culture. In the 1960s, his *El Teatro Campesino* performed on flatbed trucks and helped mobilize workers to win the first farmworker union contract. His *Zoot Suit *was the first Chicano play on Broadway. Despite critical rejection that killed the show, he persevered, creating *La Bamba*—a breakout blockbuster that authentically depicted Mexican-American life to the world. Now in its 60th year, *El Teatro* continues to be a beacon for Latino/a creators. This is the story of an artist who gave voice to the overlooked and opened pathways for generations.

And **Luis Valdez** himself will be in the Eagle theatre on July 23rd for a special screening of [***Zoot Suit!***](https://vidiotsfoundation.org/movies/zoot-suit/)

**Screenwriter**: Kôbô Abe

**Producer**: Hiroshi Teshigahara

A staggering work of existential science fiction, Hiroshi Teshigahara&#8217;s *The Face of Another* dissects identity with the sure hand of a surgeon. Okuyama (*Yojimbo*&#8216;s Tatsuya Nakadai), after being burned and disfigured in an industrial accident and estranged from his family and friends, agrees to his psychiatrist&#8217;s radical experiment: a face transplant, created from the mold of a stranger. As Okuyama is thus further alienated from the world around him, he finds himself giving in to his darker temptations. With unforgettable imagery, Teshigahara&#8217;s film explores both the limits and freedom in acquiring a new persona, and questions the notion of individuality itself.

**Hammer Forum is made possible by the Rosenbloom Family**

Fascism doesn't win because it's strong — it wins when people give up. Authoritarians count on their subjects feeling powerless.

**Screenwriters**: Jean-Claude Carrière, Philip Kaufman from the novel by Milan Kundera

**Producer**: Saul Zaentz

With all this heat, we thought you might be thirsty for Philip Kaufman&#8217;s poetically polyamorous drama starring Daniel Day-Lewis, Lena Olin, and Juliette Binoche.  A film that paints the romantic and sexual tensions of three young gorgeous people onto the backdrop of Soviet imperialism of Eastern Europe in the 1960s and 1970s, Kaufman&#8217;s adaptation of the Milan Kundera novel explores interpersonal and the international upheavals. Daniel Day-Lewis plays a Czech surgeon who uses his looks and charms to win over not one, but two stunning women who agree to move from one European country to another, in a tortured throuple thrust into the Soviet invasion of the former Czechoslovakia.

Mezzanine presents DREAD BEAT AN’ BLOOD, directed by Franco Rosso, 1979, UK, 46m, digital.

L.A. premiere 2K restoration by the British Film Institute, released by Seventy-Seven

followed by: LINTON KWESI JOHNSON IN CONCERT, directed by Roger Thomas, 1985, UK, 26m, digital.

~

We are thrilled to present this stunning verité documentary about the legendary dub poet Linton Kwesi Johnson (LKJ)—which paints a vivid cinematic portrait of Brixton in the late 1970’s on the cusp of Thatcherism—paired with a rare concert film originally broadcast on British television.

A member of the British Black Panthers, the 27-year-old LKJ we see on screen had already become an essential voice for British African-Caribbean youth, pioneering a genre known as dub poetry: militant passionate verse about the Black liberation struggle in Britain set to heavy dub. Director Franco Rosso (BABYLON) kinetically documents LKJ’s live poetry and reggae performances; his recording and mixing sessions with producer Dennis Bovell; and his activism, including a powerful protest for the unjustly imprisoned Black Briton George Lindo, about whom Johnson wrote “It Dread inna Inglan.” The film gained national attention when its TV premiere was delayed by the BBC until Margaret Thatcher was elected, so great was the concern about Johnson’s powers of persuasion. Originally screened at the Los Angeles Independent Film Exposition (FilmEx) in 1980 and unseen since its U.S. premiere, we are honored to revive DREAD BEAT AN’ BLOOD for L.A. audiences in a beautiful new restoration.

“One of the most powerful examples of the pervasive influence that Jamaican and reggae culture had on 1970s England.” -Ink 19

“A GEM... A portrait of the artist as principled activist.” -Sasha Frere-Jones, 4Columns

“If any young artists need to know about longevity and integrity, Linton Kwesi Johnson is the one to look to... He knew his path and he walked it. His words are still relevant and that reggae bass is still vibrating.” -Steve McQueen

Total runtime: 72 min. In English and Jamaican patois. Special thanks to Gabriele Caroti (Seventy-Seven) and Pauline Kraatz.

*I&#8217;m mad as Hell and I&#8217;m not going to take it anymore!* One of the greatest satiric thrillers of all time, Sidney Lumet&#8217;s paranoid masterpiece *Network* has never stopped being relevant in an ever-increasingly corporate world. The UBS network is ready to retire their anchorman Howard Beale after 25 years. In an on-air tirade, Beale announces his plan to kill himself on TV. When ratings sky-rocket, Beale&#8217;s angry prophet routine becomes big business, and UBS decides to go even harder into extreme programming. Savagely funny, soul-shatteringly prescient, and with unbelievable performances from Peter Finch and Faye Dunaway, it&#8217;s easy to see how this film won 4 Oscars and continues to stay timely &#8211; 50 years later.

Join us in our microcinema for the haunted Spanish vacation your summer was missing with this tender and otherworldly film of loss, ghosts, and grief from filmmaker Lucía Aleñar Iglesias. Cata will see her summer vacation disrupted by the absurd and sudden death of her grandmother, which only she witnesses. Her grief shifts when she casually turns to play pretend, transforming into the deceased. What begins with a game of dress-up will blur the lines of reality and family roles. With absolutely stunning cinematography (with an incredible use of framing), the exquisite backdrop of the Catalonian coastline, and a breathy and ethereal vibe, this is one of the loveliest ghost stories you may ever see.

Brian De Palma turns up the sleaze with Hitchocockian inspiration in this killer thriller. Taking a few pages out of *Psycho*&#8216;s playbook, but amping up the sex and violence, this stylish erotic thriller pays homage to the master of suspense while retaining De Palma&#8217;s signature sordidness and cinematic tricks. After witnessing a mysterious woman brutally slay a homemaker, sex worker Liz Blake finds herself trapped in a dangerous situation. While the police thinks she is the murderer, the real killer is intent on silencing her only witness. Come for Angie Dickinson in the shower and stay for Michael Caine as a twisted sex therapist!

From Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Ryan Coogler, SINNERS is a genre-bending and multi-layered exploration of Black culture and the Blues music that is unique to it, told through the lens of a Southern Gothic epic. Set in 1932 Mississippi, Michael B. Jordan stars as twin brothers Smoke and Stack, who, after chasing success in the North, return to Clarksdale, Mississippi to open a juke joint and revive the soul and spirit of their hometown. As music and dance meld in celebration of artistry, culture and history, an evil descends, threatening to devour the fabric and heart of the community — and all that Smoke and Stack have worked to achieve. Uniquely shot on both Ultra Panavision 70 and IMAX 70mm, SINNERS is a singular and emotionally resonant tale of cultural change that resonates still today.

*In Japanese with English subtitles.*

A prestige talent showcase for Toho, led by the venerable Aiko Mimasu alongside Setsuko Hara and Hideko Takamine, and supported by a dozen further major and minor stars of the era, Naruse’s full color melodrama is a feat of directorial command, never once buckling under its own widescreen weight. Concerning the ill fortunes of a widowed mother (Mimasu) and her five adult children as they endure a string of destabilizing personal and financial shocks, this melancholy picture of a Japanese family’s gradual disintegration evokes Naruse’s friend and critical rival Ozu with its succession of domestic rearrangements and tests of filial responsibility. Small wonder that Ozu favorite Chishu Ryu makes an eleventh hour cameo.

In conjunction with the exhibition *Yoko Ono: Music of the Mind*, Running May 23 - October 11 at The Broad.

Full info: www.lafilmforum.org

*George: The Story of George Maciunas and Fluxus* is a feature documentary as mercurial as its subject, George Maciunas, impresario of the international avant-garde art movement Fluxus (1962-78). Fascinatingly contradictory interviews with artists, including Yoko Ono, Jonas Mekas, and Nam June Paik, and inventive sound and screen design, shape this rich portrait of a visionary artist. Dedicated to cooperative methods and expanded processes, everything could be Fluxus: kits, shops, festivals, islands, weddings, food, or Flux Lofts – the first network of artist-owned lofts in SoHo, New York. The iconoclastic Maciunas and the spirit of Fluxus provoke questions still critical to artists working today.
