After Wilbur dies, Eugene again asks Isabel to marry him, and she is receptive. But George resents the attentions paid to his mother, and he and his whacko aunt Fanny manage to sabotage the romance.

“What a Wonderful World: An Audiovisual Poem,” edited by Udo Kittelmann, is a sweeping odyssey into the depths of human experience, unfolding through film and video. Marking the first major presentation of works from the Julia Stoschek Foundation in the U.S., this audiovisual poem experiments with time-based media by placing contemporary video works in dialogue with silent films and early cinema classics. For the first time, a large-scale exhibition bridges these two universes, creating an unprecedented encounter across more than a century of visual storytelling.

Bringing one of the world’s leading collections of time-based art to a city defined by moving images sparks a rare conversation across disciplines. It dissolves the boundaries between visual art and cinema, museum and theater, white cube and black box. In doing so, it traces the evolution of visual storytelling over the past century, highlighting both the universality of human concerns and the shifting perspectives that shape their representation.

“What a Wonderful World” presents a wide range of groundbreaking works by artists such as Marina Abramović, Cyprien Gaillard, Arthur Jafa, or Lu Yang, alongside cinematic milestones by Luis Buñuel, Walt Disney, Alice Guy-Blaché, Winsor McCay, and Georges Méliès. Together, these works form a panoramic and layered portrait of humanity and history across 120 years: altogether ironic, sincere, critical and compassionate.

“What a Wonderful World” will unfold as an explorative journey, a cinematic mystery tour, a soul-stirring experience. It invites visitors to confront the secrets and fragilities of humanity while holding up a mirror to the state of the world today.

### **ABOUT THE FILM:**

REELING, the striking debut feature by Yana Alliata, is a lyrical and emotionally charged exploration of memory, trauma, and belonging set against the idyllic family property on Oahu’s windward side. After a life-altering accident, Ryan returns to his family’s homestead for a birthday luau, attempting to reconnect with old friends and relatives who now feel like strangers. As the pig roasts slowly in the imu pit and the atmosphere turns festive, buried tensions simmer beneath the surface. Amid laughter, music and the glow of torches, Ryan finds himself increasingly unmoored—until a fragmented memory resurfaces, revealing the moment when everything in his life changed. REELING is executive produced by the singular Werner Herzog.

The UK’s Best International Feature Film entry to the 98th Academy Awards and recipient of the Caméra d’Or Special Mention at Cannes, Akinola Davies Jr.’s MY FATHER’S SHADOW is a poetic, tender portrait of father-son bonds. Framed by the political landscape of 1993 Lagos, the film follows a father and his two young sons as they journey into and around the vibrantly rendered Nigerian metropolis, quietly reckoning with their relationship while navigating a city on the precipice of democratic crisis. Brothers and collaborators Akinola Davies Jr. and Wale Davies bring us a groundbreaking feature debut – centering an award-winning performance by Sopé Dìrísù (SLOW HORSES, GANGS OF LONDON) – that reveals the profound depths of what families leave unspoken.

**TWIN PEAKS, 1990, Paramount, USA**

A crime drama mixed with healthy doses of the surreal, this series is about FBI Agent Dale Cooper, who travels to the small logging town of Twin Peaks to solve the murder of seemingly innocent high schooler Laura Palmer. Almost nothing is as it seems, however, and the show’s sometimes eerie visuals, oddball characters and wild dream sequences drive the point home.

Acropolis Cinema screens *Falling Leaves* (Otar Iosseliani, 1968), in a new 4K restoration presented by Alexandre Koberidze.

Saturdays's event will feature an introduction and post-screening Q&A with *Dry Leaf* director Alexandre Koberidze and composer Giorgi Koberidze.

∆

First screened at the 1968 Cannes Film Festival, *Falling Leaves* tells the story of Nico, a technician starting out at a state-run wine collective. While his friend Otar adapts seamlessly, Nico refuses to pretend that bad wine can be bottled. He also falls for Otar’s girl. Iosseliani offers up poignant observations about the clash of generations, factory life, and romance in this witty and moral tale of an individual’s resistance to oppression.

~

Otar Iosseliani is one of Georgia’s most admired filmmakers who died two months before his 90th birthday in December 2023. His unconventional storytelling, anarchic style and underlying anti-authoritarianism did not suit the Soviet authorities and by 1982 Iosseliani had moved to Paris. His self-described “abstract comedies” explore human absurdity, observing behaviour rather than following a cohesive narrative. He didn’t like "intrusive" close-ups and his unique shooting style with complex movement of people, animals and objects led Ronald Bergan, writing in the Guardian, to describe him as the “true heir to Renoir, Tati and Buñuel.” (Institut français du Royaume-Uni)

### **ABOUT THE FILMS:**

**THE GODFATHER, 1972, Dir. Francis Ford Coppola, 175 Mins., Paramount, USA**

Francis Ford Coppola’s epic masterpiece features Marlon Brando in his Oscar-winning role as the patriarch of the Corleone family. Director Coppola paints a chilling portrait of the Sicilian clan’s rise and near fall from power in America, masterfully balancing the story between the Corleone’s family life and the ugly crime business in which they are engaged. Based on Mario Puxo’s best-selling novel and featuring career-making performances by Al Pacino, James Cann and Robert Duvall, this searing and brilliant film garnered ten Academy Award nominations, and won three including Best Picture of 1972.

FORMAT: 35mm

**THE GODFATHER PART II, 1974, Francis Ford Coppola, 200 Mins., Paramount, USA**

This brilliant companion piece to the original THE GODFATHER continues the saga of two generations of successive power within the Corleone family. Coppola tells two stories in Part II: the roots and rise of a young Don Vito, played with uncanny ability by Robert De Niro, and the ascension of Michael (Al Pacino) as the new Don. Reassembling many of the talents who helped make THE GODFATHER, Coppola has produced a movie of staggering magnitude and vision, and undeniably the best sequel ever made. Robert De Niro won an Oscar; the film received six Academy Awards, including Best Picture of 1974.

A double feature celebrating 1990s Shot-On-Video surreal horror, pairing Charles Pinion’s cult Cinema of Transgression landmark *Red Spirit Lake* with *Vick & Tarstar’s Scarecrow Factory*, a meta mumblegore nightmare from Brewce Longo of Blood Sick Productions. Both directors will be in attendance, followed by a Q&A hosted by Annie Rose Malamet of Girls, Guts, & Giallo.

### Red Spirit Lake (1993)

*Run Time:* 69 minutes

After a vengeful sorceress is tortured and killed by a corrupt industrialist seeking to harness the spectral powers of Red Spirit Lake, her niece arrives in snow-covered Angel Falls to settle her aunt’s estate.

A warped meditation on *The Old Dark House*, *Red Spirit Lake* erupts into a delirious storm of UFO abductions, witchcraft, frank nudity, castration, fatal fistings, slaughterous saunas, and psychotic surrealism. A cacophony of subversive hyper-violence and salacious sexual chaos unfolds against picturesque winter vistas, featuring performances by Cinema of Transgression icons Richard Kern, Holly Adams, Kembra Pfahler, Tessa Hughes-Freeland, and Tommy Turner, alongside an insurgent soundtrack with music by Cop Shoot Cop, Lydia Lunch, Clint Ruin, and The Lunachicks.

### Vick & Tarstar’s Scarecrow Factory (2025)

*Run Time:* 91 minutes

Vick and Tarstar are shooting their latest trash-horror epic, *Scarecrowed*, with a cast and crew of punks, drug addicts, fetish models, and dumpster divers. As extra-hairy relationship drama, homelessness, vanishing funds, and quitting collaborators threaten to derail the production, the duo remains committed to telling their story.

Set within a deranged consumer fantasy, *Scarecrow Factory* asks a simple question: with the right bucket, can you too buy your own hair-cutting scarecrow made by the animatronic Goo Guys? A Blood Sick mumblegore nightmare by Brewce Longo and Kasper Meltedhair, the film features Erin Caywood, Nicole Elyse, Janice.Click, and SOV legends Hugh Gallagher and Tina Krause.

Charles Pinion and Brewce Longo are currently in preproduction on an upcoming collaborative feature, *Thousand Eyes*. Directed by Pinion and produced by Longo, the film will shoot in Philadelphia in May 2026 and will feature a mix of regular Blood Sick players alongside classic SOV figures.

*Light Years Expanding* is a further elaboration of *Light Years*, Gunvor Nelson’s journey into the Swedish landscape in which she blends animation with live-action. Whereas movement was one of the prime characteristics of *Light Years*, *Light Years Expanding* revolves more around the image-work, foreshadowing her last and most complicated collage film *Natural Features*.—*Professor* *John Sundholm, Stockholm University*

Director: Gunvor Nelson.

“I was enormously impressed and bowled over by the beauty and artistry. It is one of the few films that I have ever seen that gave me the same feeling that I get when I see painting that I really respond to on a gut/heart level. The images are very powerful. The poetry and the subtlety of the content too. The editing/rhythms all seemed perfect. The sound track kept disappearing from consciousness (exactly right), but never stopped working with the pictures. Masterpiece.”—*filmmaker* *Robert Nelson*

Director: Gunvor Nelson.

*Field Study #2 *develops further Nelson’s painterly animation aesthetics. This time the imagery is not created by a recording camera after which they are reworked, but instead the images and sounds appear out of their own world. The soundtrack consists of animal sounds and a serious male voice reciting names of animals in Latin. It is a hilarious work that makes fun of the educational film and our expectations upon the film screen to constitute a window to an outer world.* Field Study #2* urges one to look and listen while emphasizing the comic and absurd, the latter a trait that runs through so much of Gunvor Nelson’s filmmaking and which was the impetus for her to start filming with Dorothy Wiley in the ’60s. The film ends with a thank you to Dorothy Wiley.—*Professor John Sundholm, Stockholm University*

Director: Gunvor Nelson.

“In *Natural Features*, Gunvor Nelson mingles hundreds of still images with 3-D objects and ‘real’ images photographed through glass layerings into a free-associative and playfully bizarre form of animation. Perhaps no film has more successfully blended an evident passion for painting with a sensitivity to filmmaking such as lush pigments alternate with and punctuate the different photographic layerings.”—*curator* *Steve Anker*

Director: Gunvor Nelson.

Philosophical Research Society

The acclaimed collaborative artist duo Gibson + Recoder present the Los Angeles premiere of their most recent expanded cinema project, *The Changeover System: A Projection Performance Installation (2023–2025). *An ambitious live multi-projection based on Gibson + Recoder’s 20 years of experimentation with the projection of 35mm celluloid, *The Changeover System* repurposes film projectors from within the concealed projection booth in a practice they refer to as “prepared projection,” calling attention to the creative agency of the screening room itself.

*The Changeover System* was developed in close collaboration with sound artist Richard Garet. Whereas Gibson + Recoder disappear into the projection booth, Garet performs within the theater, amidst the audience, using amplified EMF emissions, modified audiocassettes, malfunctioning tape players, interactive circuit boards, sonification of light, and computer processing.

There will be a post-screening conversation with artists Gibson, Recoder, Garet and film programmer Jheanelle Brown.

**Producer**: Mira Nair

A kaleidoscopic portrait of Bombay’s teeming street life, Mira Nair’s first narrative feature, *Salaam Bombay!, *combines a documentary-like sense of place with a poignant exploration of everyday resilience. After the young Krishna (Shafiq Syed) is cast out by his family, he makes his way to the city, where he encounters love, friendship, and tragedy in the face of extreme poverty. Drawing compellingly naturalistic performances from a cast consisting largely of children she met on the streets, Nair creates an intimate human drama that is by turns heartbreaking and life-affirming, an ode to childhood that overflows with colorful urban chaos and a deep compassion for those who live on society’s margins.

As Heidi and Joe pursue a shaky relationship and search for normalcy against a bleak winter backdrop, they must confront their vices, feelings of isolation, and need for love and belonging.

### **ABOUT THE FILM:**

Frank and Eleanor Perry’s brilliant 1969 film LAST SUMMER has long been considered a lost classic – never released on DVD or Blu-ray and unseen in its controversial original form for over forty years. A boundary pushing teen film briefly slapped with an X rating, it opened to ecstatic reviews and garnered an Oscar nomination for actress Catherine Burns. Last seen at the Cinematheque in a cobbled together censored 16mm print, the new restoration is a revelation. Based on Evan Hunter’s bestselling novel staring Richard Thomas and Bruce Davison as teenage boys aimlessly spending the summer at the beach on Fire Island, N.Y. They fall under the spell of Barbara Hershey’s beautiful Sandy and the trio push each other into acts of cruelty against wallflower Cathy Burns. LAST SUMMER received four stars from critic Roger Ebert and this is a screening not to be missed.

When a Black middle-class family in South Los Angeles is visited by a mysterious old friend from the South (Danny Glover), his presence casts a spell over the previously calm household. As the inscrutable Harry, Glover flickers between menace and charm, using his commanding presence to dominate the frame. A singular work that explores how Southern folkloric traditions traveled north during the Great Migration, this intimate drama subtly announces director Charles Burnett’s mastery of his craft. In 2017, the film was named to the Library of Congress’ National Film Registry, and in 2026 was named one of the [best 101 films about L.A.](https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/movies/list/best-los-angeles-movies#p=to-sleep-with-anger-1990) by the *Los Angeles Times*.*—author Ashley Clark and Public Programmer Beandrea July *

### **ABOUT THE FILM: **

*In Korean with English subtitles.*

A film director who no longer makes films, Seongjun, arrives in Seoul to meet a close friend. When the friend doesn’t show up, Seongjun wanders the city aimlessly. He runs into an actress he used to know, shares a drink with some film students and against his better judgment, heads to his ex-girlfriend’s apartment. The next day goes very much like the last; Seongjun meets the actress, has drinks with friends, and falls for woman who looks remarkably like his ex-girlfriend. Each new day plays out like a flimsy copy of the previous one, but only Seongjun knows why.

**Screenwriter**: Sean Wang

**Producers**: Carlos López Estrada,  Josh Peters,  Valerie Bush,  Sean Wang

On the cusp of high school, Chris Wang, a.k.a Wang Wang, is spending an aimless summer in his quiet Northern California hometown of Fremont. His mom, Chungsing, is the only person who sees and loves Dìdi (the affectionate term in Mandarin meaning “little brother”) for who he really is. Chris can’t stand it when she looks at him with the loving gaze of an immigrant mother whose greatest pride and most animated dreams rest in her child. He’s too busy watching skate videos on YouTube and scouring the Myspace page of his crush, Madi. When Chris, wielding the power of a well-deployed Paramore t-shirt and A Walk to Remember reference, finds a way to get close to Madi, he suddenly seems to be figuring things out.

But Dìdi (弟弟) isn’t the story of a teenage boy getting the girl. In Sean Wang’s telling, Chris doesn’t exactly come of age as much as trip and stumble his way through an endless teenage summer — and perhaps find a way to log off AIM and see his mother for the first time.

**Screenwriters**: Ted Allan,  John Cassavetes

**Producers**: Yoram Globus,  Menahem Golan

The electric filmmaking genius John Cassavetes and his brilliant wife and collaborator Gena Rowlands give luminous, fragile performances as two closely bound, emotionally wounded souls who reunite after years apart. Exhilarating and risky, mixing sober realism with surreal flourishes, *Love Streams* is a remarkable film that comes at the viewer in a torrent of beautiful, erratic feeling. This inquiry into the nature of love in all its forms was Cassavetes’s last truly personal work.

A Goofy Movie

**Screenwriter:** Ingmar Bergman

**Producer:** Allan Ekelund

Ingmar Bergman&#8217;s iconic and sublime parable of humanity&#8217;s search to cheat the inevitability of death. When disillusioned Swedish knight Antonius Block returns home from the Crusades to find his country in the grips of the Black Death, he challenges Death to a chess match for his life. Tormented by the belief that God does not exist, Block sets off on a journey, meeting up with traveling players Jof and his wife, Mia, and becoming determined to evade Death long enough to commit one redemptive act while he still lives. Stunning, philosophical, and groundbreaking, this existential essential requires big-screen viewing!

The Seventh Seal

**Producers**: Robert Redford,  Michael Jacobs,  Julian Krainin,  Michael Nozik

Go behind the scandal that rocked television and the world with Robert Redford&#8217;s true-life story of the scam of the mid-century! John Turturro is magnificent as Queens-born Herbie Stempel becomes an unlikely hero after winning on America&#8217;s beloved game show, &#8220;Twenty One.&#8221; When the network decides to bring in a more telegenic contestant, the WASP-ish Charles Van Doren (Ralph Fiennes), Stempel decides to take the show down with him, announcing that the game is rigged. Now the show has got to answer for its misdeeds and a congressional investigator is brought it to discover the truth behind America&#8217;s favorite game. Engrossing from start to finish, with incredible performances from Turturro and Fienes, this Oscar-nominated winner is the real deal &#8211; no lie!

**Remembering Robert Redford**

Robert Redford&#8217;s legacy is not only in the films he made, but in the way he lived &#8211; committed to the power of human and earthly connection, to truth, storytelling, and showing us that championing artists and sharing stories is pivotal to a healthy, open society.  Off screen, he championed the environment, independent voices, and the radical idea that stories can change the world. All who love and make movies are forever indebted to Redford and the path he forged. We&#8217;ll remain ever mindful of his constant message that storytelling is activism and that movies are a powerful force for hope.

Like a pod of dolphins leaping harmoniously through the waves, the SoCal tour of ***JOHN LILLY AND THE EARTH COINCIDENCE CONTROL OFFICE*** arrives April 2–5 through a collaboration between **Oscilloscope**, **Brain Dead Studios**, **7th House**, **Philosophical Research Society, **and **Ojai Playhouse****.**

Directed by **Michael Almereyda** and **Courtney Stephens**, this new documentary explores the life and work of the daring experimenter Dr. John C. Lilly, a scientist who dedicated his life to radical self-investigation and unlocking the mysteries of consciousness and communication. Lilly’s motto, “My body is my laboratory,” guided his pioneering and controversial research into the intelligence and language of dolphins and whales, as well as his explorations of psychedelics and sensory deprivation.

Alongside the documentary, 7th House and Brain Dead present two films shaped by his work: Mike Nichols’s DAY OF THE DOLPHIN (Saturday, 4/4 at Brain Dead Studios) and Ken Russell’s ALTERED STATES (Sunday, 4/5 at The Philosophical Research Society). Together, these films chart the strange and fascinating cultural wake of Lilly’s quest to understand the mind, the ocean, and the hidden systems that might connect them both.

*In French with English subtitles.*

Rohmer, best known as the doyen of French naturalism, veered about as far as you could get from his signature style with this adaptation of Chrétien de Troyes’ 12th-century Arthurian romance *Perceval, the Story of the Grail*, in which Fabrice Luchini’s Perceval crosses a deliberately artificial landscape of cardboard castles and fiberglass rivers, all built in the Epinay Studios near Paris, in search of the Cup of Christ, his journey periodically described by a singing chorus.

Academic overachievers Amy and Molly thought keeping their noses to the grindstone gave them a leg up on their high school peers. But on the eve of graduation, the best friends suddenly realize that they may have missed out on the special moments of their teenage years. Determined to make up for lost time, the girls decide to cram four years of not-to-be missed fun into one night &#8212; a chaotic adventure that no amount of book smarts could prepare them for.

After an argument, he boards a boat and sails to an island of enormous talking beasts. Convincing them he has magical powers, Max becomes their king and they set out together to play rumpus, build forts, and discover secret hideaways.

### **ABOUT THE FILM:**

*In Japanese with English subtitles.*

Entrenched in the devastating reality of postwar Japan, Naruse’s masterpiece adapts Fumiko Hayashi’s final completed novel to trace the lives of two repatriated lovers reunited in the ruins of a defeated nation. The wartime affair of Tomioka, a married Forestry Ministry officer (Masayuki Mori) and typist Yukiko (Hideko Takamine) continues in the postwar rubble, but their bleak existence pales against the faraway romance that took place in French Indochina. Reluctant to leave his wife, the lecherous Tomioka comes and goes at his leisure to visit Yukiko, who clings to him desperately, propping up the vestiges of their long-lost passion over the course of years. Takamine’s heartbreaking performance is perhaps her finest hour, a role of sheer emotional magnitude that bears an agonizing love, drawn from the fading memory of what once was.

FLOATING CLOUDS

In the most commercially successful Black comedy feature of its era, Eddie Murphy stands at the center of the Black Pack as Prince Akeem, heir to the throne of Zamunda, who leaves royal luxury for Queens, New York, in search of love on his own terms.

Robert Townsend’s audacious directorial debut remains a razor-sharp satire of Hollywood’s degrading and limited roles for Black actors. Townsend stars as Bobby Taylor, an aspiring actor pressured to erase himself to fit an “Eddie Murphy type” while auditioning for an outlandish Blaxploitation knockoff. A foundational text of the Black Pack collective, the independently produced film insists on comedy as social critique — using satire not as escapism, but as a strategy to expose industry gatekeeping, reclaim authorship and speak truth to power.—*guest programmer Artel Great*

Director: Robert Townsend. Screenwriters: Keenen Ivory Wayans, Robert Townsend. With: Robert Townsend, Anne-Marie Johnson, Helen Martin.

Comedy as Resistance: Hollywood Shuffle

**Screenwriters**: Stanley Kubrick, Terry Southern, Peter George

Vidiots invites you to go off the rails with Stanley Kubrick&#8217;s unhinged dark comedy triumph.

After the insane General Jack D. Ripper initiates a nuclear strike on the Soviet Union, a war room full of politicians, generals and a Russian diplomat all frantically try to stop the nuclear strike. Frenetic, chillingly hilarious, and perenially apropos to any epoch, it&#8217;s time to revel in this fascinating masterpiece all over again!

Join us in the microcinema for Georgi M. Unkovski&#8217;s delightful coming-of-age triumph for the pink sheep in every family! 15-year-old Ahmet, from a remote Yuruk village in North Macedonia, finds refuge in music while navigating his father’s expectations, a conservative community, and his first experience with love — a girl already promised to someone else. Winner of both an audience and jury award at Sundance, this international charmer (that features an actual pink sheep!) has a rhythm all its own.

Adopted by a renowned swordsmith, a young man discovers that his biological father was killed by a powerful bandit called Lung.

After being nursed back to health, he learns to compensate for his loss and returns to confront Lung.

The Blade

In celebration of their collaborative, two-venue run of Michael Almereyda and Courtney Stephens’ JOHN LILLY AND THE EARTH COINCIDENCE CONTROL OFFICE, 7th House and Brain Dead are thrilled to co-present Mike Nichols’s THE DAY OF THE DOLPHIN (1973).&#8221;

*DAY OF THE DOLPHIN* imagines a world where the boundary between human and animal intelligence begins to dissolve. When a team of researchers successfully teaches dolphins to communicate in English, their breakthrough attracts the attention of powerful forces eager to weaponize the discovery.

The film draws direct inspiration from the pioneering work of Dr. John C. Lilly, whose real-life research into dolphin intelligence and communication captivated both the scientific community and the public imagination in the 1960s and ’70s. Lilly believed that dolphins possessed complex language and consciousness, and his experiments attempted to bridge the gap between species.

Released at the height of that cultural fascination, *DAY OF THE DOLPHIN* transforms Lilly’s radical ideas into a tense political thriller about the ethics of science, the limits of communication, and what might happen if we finally succeeded in speaking with another intelligent species. Presented alongside *JOHN LILLY AND THE EARTH COINCIDENCE CONTROL OFFICE*, the film offers a fascinating glimpse into how Lilly’s extraordinary research rippled into popular culture.

The Day of the Dolphin

Robert Townsend pens a soulful love letter to Black popular music in this film loosely inspired by Motown-era vocal groups. It follows a fictional quintet from 1960s chart success through industry exploitation, infighting and addiction.

Here Eddie Murphy stands at the center of the Black Pack as Prince Akeem, heir to the throne of Zamunda, who leaves royal luxury for Queens, New York, in search of love on his own terms. The most commercially successful Black comedy feature of its era, this blockbuster is also a case study in power and authorship, as Murphy gives a tour de force performance of multiple characters and earns a “story by” credit. Ultimately, the film shows how box office clout enabled Black cultural specificity while embedding sharp critiques of race, class and respectability within mainstream studio comedy.—*guest programmer Artel Great*

Director: John Landis. Screenwriter: David Sheffield, Barry W. Blaustein. With: Eddie Murphy, Arsenio Hall, James Earl Jones.

Opening Reception: April 11 at 6 PM [RSVP](https://www.redcat.org/form/opening-reception-harmony-26)

*Harmony Holiday: Spectacular Brooding *investigates the spectacles and secrets of black grief. Considering the tension between private ritual and public display within this tradition, the Los Angeles-based artist’s exhibition considers what she calls the “Black Backstage” as a zone of sacred privacy that makes the spectacularization of performance bearable. In contrast to commercial reproduction of music, dance, and film that distorts black artistry, Harmony positions the home and the studio as intimate spaces of black creative life. 

The exhibition divides the gallery into two spaces: the dance studio and the cutting room. In the studio, Holiday will rehearse live and record her preparatory process towards the performance of a solo dance, which marks a return to live dance performance for the first time in decades. Holiday’s choreography will consider iconic expressions of black grieving in choreography by Alvin Ailey, Judith Jamison, Bill T. Jones, Katherine Dunham, and Robert Battle, as well as gestures of black performance and everyday life in digital culture. A mourner’s bench will provide a place of solitude and public memorial, inviting people to listen to oral histories and to engage with Holiday’s own writing. In the cutting room, Holiday will screen an excerpt of a new film that considers these themes through a documentary of a living artist.

This charming adaptation of Roald Dahl&#8217;s beloved children&#8217;s book follows the adventures of James (Paul Terry), a young British orphan. Forced to move in with his cruel aunts (Joanna Lumley, Miriam Margolyes), James finds a way out of his bleak existence when he accidentally conjures an enormous enchanted peach. After rolling into the sea inside the buoyant fruit, James, accompanied by a crew of friendly talking insects, sets sail for New York City.

If your Saturday afternoon is missing something big &#8211; we&#8217;ve got the biggest baddest kaiju of them all and one of the most beloved entries into the atomic monster&#8217;s canon on our monster-sized screen! Something has surfaced in Tokyo Bay. As the Prime Minister of Japan pleads with the public to remain calm, a horrific creature of tremendous size makes landfall in the city, leaving death and destruction in its wake. Then it evolves. The government assembles a motley task force to combat the monster when an envoy from the US Department of State delivers a folder of classified documents. On its cover is written: “GODZILLA.”

From Director Hideaki Anno and Co-Director Shinji Higuchi, *Shin Godzilla* offers a thrilling origin story to one of cinema’s greatest creations. Propelled by astounding visual effects and rapid fire dialogue, *Shin Godzilla* is equal parts pulse-pounding action film and venomous political satire, worthy of the franchise’s towering history.

Pretty Woman

**Screenwriters**: Alice Maio Mackay,  Benjamin Pahl Robinson

**Producers**: Alice Maio Mackay, Louise Weard

Vidiots is excited to welcome prolific young filmmaker **Alice Maio Mackay** and editor **Vera Drew** to the microcinema for a special screening of *The Serpent&#8217;s Skin* &#8211; the Gothic trans horror fantasy of your teen dreams!

Twentysomething Anna (Alexandra McVicker, *October Crow*) finally leaves her small, transphobic hometown for good and quickly begins dating goth tattoo artist Gen (Avalon Fast, *Castration Movie*) after the two discover they share supernatural powers. But before Anna can call up the U-Haul, Gen inadvertently summons a demon through the sick neck tattoo she gives sensitive guitarist Danny (Jordan Dulieu). As Danny — or whatever’s inside of him — begins feeding off their friends, it’s up to Anna and Gen to figure out how to use their powers to save everyone before it’s too late.

The sixth-and-latest feature by 21-year-old filmmaking force of nature Alice Maio Mackay (*Carnage for Christmas*),* The Serpent&#8217;s Skin* like a trans take on *The Craft* or the YA horror paperback you wished you had in high school. Returning to the same premise as her early short *The Serpent’s Nest* (2021) and working with a group of trans film luminaries — including producer Louise Weard (*Castration Movie*), editor Vera Drew (*The People’s Joker*), and colorist Jessica Dunn Rovinelli (*So Pretty*), all remarkable filmmakers in their own right — *The Serpent’s Skin* sees the full blossoming of the bold neo-Araki aesthetic that has made Mackay one of the most exciting voices in this current wave of independent trans cinema.

The Serpent’s Skin

**Screenwriters**: René Laloux,  Jean-Patrick Manchette,  Moebius

**Producers**: Jacques Dercourt,  Roland Gritti

Directed by visionary science-fiction animator René Laloux (*Fantastic Planet*) and designed by the legendary Jean Giraud (a.k.a. Mœbius) *The Time Masters *is a visually fantastic foray into existentialist space adventure. After his parents are killed on the dangerous planet Perdide, young Piel (voiced by Frédéric Legros) survives by maintaining radio contact with Jaffar (Jean Valmont), a pilot transporting the exiled Prince Matton (Yves-Marie Maurin) and Princess Belle (Monique Thierry) from their former kingdom. Jaffar seeks the help of Silbad (Michel Elias), a cheerful old-timer who knows how to circumvent Perdide’s hazards, including brain-devouring insects and watery graves. Along the way, Jaffar and company encounter a pair of impish homunculi stowaways, identity-less angels controlled by an amorphous hive mind, and the Masters of Time, mysterious beings who can bend reality and perhaps reveal to the heroes their secret origins and destinies.

Time Masters

A Depression era-set Southern Gothic thriller, *The Night of the Hunter* tells an adult story through the eyes of children. Actor-turned-director Charles Laughton described it as a “fairy tale of the Big Bad Wolf’s pursuit of the Little Pigs.” Robert Mitchum stars as the wolf in preacher’s clothing pursuing the two children of a widow (Shelley Winter) who know about a stash of ill-gotten loot. A dream-like work thanks in part to the unique cinematography by Stanley Cortez, it turns feverishly on dualities — heaven and hell, good versus evil, the sacred and profane — while paying homage to the silent era with Lillian Gish also starring.—*Theater Manager Lauren Brown*

Director: Charles Laughton. Screenwriters: James Agee, Charles Laughton. With: Robert Mitchum, Shelley Winters, Lillian Gish.

The Night of the Hunter

### **ABOUT THE FILM:**

*In Georgian with English subtitles.*

One of the great films from Georgia—and the Soviet Union as a whole—was featured at the 1975 London Film Festival (nearly a decade after it was made), where Brian Baxter noted: “Quite surely a masterpiece and one of the most strikingly original and beautiful films ever made. It is shot in the deepest blacks and almost blinding whites, tightly compressing its complex tale of love, hate, and revenge. The screenplay is taken from [two poems by Vaza Psavela] . . . Abuladze has managed to convey the ‘epic’ quality of the piece by superb use of the harsh landscapes and the integration of the characters within the surroundings.”

FORMAT: DCP

COUNTRY: Soviet Union

As the body count creeps up, Miami detective John Saxon tries to keep ahead of the curve in this carnage-packed slasher gem from the maestro of macabre.
