Rootless Hungarian émigré Willie (John Lurie), his pal Eddie (Richard Edson), and visiting sixteen-year-old cousin Eva (Eszter Balint) always manage to make the least of any situation, whether aimlessly traversing the drab interiors and environs of New York City, Cleveland, or an anonymous Florida suburb. With its delicate humor and dramatic nonchalance, Jim Jarmusch&#8217;s one-of-a-kind minimalist masterpiece, _Stranger Than Paradise_, forever transformed the landscape of American independent cinema.

### **ABOUT THE FILM:**

*In French with English subtitles.*

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.

At a remote Antarctica outpost, a research team of misfits and malcontents comes under attack by a shape-shifting alien lifeform that had been trapped in the ice for 100,000 years. As the creature rages through the men, assuming one identity after another, the paranoia rises as the temperatures outside plummet. A fantastic cast, lead by the never-better Kurt Russell, amazing, now-legendary practical effects, and John Carpenter&#8217;s atmospheric direction make *The Thing* a chilling classic.

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!

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.

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.

### **ABOUT THE FILM:**

*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.

TWIN PEAKS: THE RETURN Parts 17 & 18

We&#8217;re firing up our 16mm projector for a night of the best of puberty&#8217;s pitfalls and adolescence at its most awkward with a program of long-forgotten and laughably outdated short films from the 1940s through the 1980s about humanity&#8217;s cringiest life stage with menstrucation&#8217;s finest, endearing Mormon comedy shorts, mid-century slut-shaming primers, and more! Sex ed doesn&#8217;t get any better than ***Dear Diary: A Film About Female Puberty ***(1981).  The crowd-pleasing BYU comedy short ***The Phone Call*** (1977) wants you to know that even geeky, karate and bassoon-loving Mormon fast food workers deserve love, and with a little self-confidence and a great ginger-fro, they just might get it! Plus, another sensational menstrucational treat: ***Linda&#8217;s Film on Menstruation*** (1974) complete with a menstrual game show, the mid-century mental hygiene primer ***Are You Popular? ***(1958) to gently remind you to not slut it up, and a special surprise cartoon from the **[A/V Geeks Archive](https://avgeeks.com)** that will have you rethinking everything you knew about the mouse! Arrive early to explore all the gross but necessary things that happen to the growing boy in the third edition of ***Boy To Man*** (1984). Everything screened on 16mm film.

Featuring:

***Dear Diary, a film about female puberty*** (Color, 1981, 26 min)

*The Welcome to the Dollhouse* of puberty primers! Our incredibly awkward thirteen-year-old protagonist offers a narrative alternative to the facts about female puberty. Our homely heroine encounters peer pressure from her boy-crazy friends, changing sex roles, and making out with a pillow with a smiley face, all while she waits to become a woman. A bonafide crowd pleaser and the absolute top tier of menstrucational film!
***The Phone Call*** (Color, 1977, 28 min)

30 years before *Napoleon Dynamite*, this BYU-sponsored &#8220;comedy&#8221; follows an awkward teenage boy with Art Garfunkle&#8217;s hairstylist and a penchant for karate and bassoons as he works up the courage to ask his crush for a date.  The Mormons want you to know that nice guys can finish first! An audience favorite starring Marc McClure (Jimmy Olson from the Christopher Reeves *Superman* series).

***Linda&#8217;s Film on Menstruation*** (Color, 1974, 18 min)

*&#8220;It means that blood is falling out of my uterus!&#8221;***

A goofy sex education classic with two groovy teens from the mid-seventies. Judy is a regular 15 year old girl going through what every woman goes through at some point, her first monthly visitor. Her 16 year old boyfriend hasn&#8217;t got a clue, and quite frankly she doesn&#8217;t really either. Thankfully there&#8217;s an obnoxious cartoon to explain it all to them!

Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events

‍

## Featuring a Q&A with The Emperor's New Groove director Mark Dindal, writer Dave Reynolds, and production manager Tracey Miller-Zarneke-- their first-ever appearance for this unreleased documentary! Moderated by LA Filmforum programmer and Animation Historian Sam Gurry.

‍

Barred from release due to its raw exposé of the corporate filmmaking process, *The Sweatbox* is one of the best- and least available- inside-filmmaking movies. Packed with unrivaled insights into the animation process, it documents a tumultuous big budget production through Sting’s work on a film called *The Kingdom of the Sun*. Until it wasn’t.

‍

What follows is a timeless story of ambition, adaptive ingenuity, Incan myths, ego, emotion, and flutes as directors John-Paul Davidson and Trudie Styler document Sting’s dissatisfaction watching the film’s tone and story shift dramatically amid executive doubt, uninspiring test screenings, and the unyielding deadlines dictated by Happy Meal toy production. Paralleling the intensely focused musician’s work with the tireless efforts of heroically talented animators, the film takes its title from the grueling processes of review and revision that make this chaotic milieu a thrilling viewing experience and often disillusioning look at creative collaboration.

The Dreamers

### **ABOUT THE FILM:**

*In Arabic with English subtitles.*

One of director Youssef Chahine’s most controversial works ignited a firestorm of criticism from both Islamic and Christian voices, who objected to its liberal reinterpretation of the biblical story of Joseph (here renamed Ram to skirt censorship that forbids the depiction of religious figures). Nevertheless the film proved one of Chahine’s biggest commercial triumphs at home, a passionate evocation of ancient Egypt that uses the story—in which a young dreamer (Khaled el-Nabawy) leaves behind his backwards rural home and sets off to the intellectual center of Egypt on a journey fraught with political and sexual peril—to comment on deeply personal ideas about resistance, sacrifice, and liberation.

### **ABOUT THE FILM:**

*In Mandarin with English subtitles.*

Set just prior to the start of the 21st century, this vaguely futuristic story follows two residents of a quickly crumbling building who refuse to leave their homes in spite of a virus that has forced the evacuation of the area. As rain pours down relentlessly, a single man is stuck with an unfinished plumbing job and a hole in his floor. This results in a very odd relationship with the woman who lives below him. Combining deadpan humor with an austere view of loneliness and a couple of unexpected musical numbers, Tsai Ming-Liang crafted one of the most original films of the 1990s.

THE HOLE

My Dinner with Andre / Vanya on 42nd Street

**Producer**: Sasha Waters

Featuring a conversation with filmmaker **Sasha Waters** after the August 12th screening!

If poetry had a pop icon, Mary Oliver would be it. Celebrated best-selling poet, Pulitzer Prize-winner, lover of dogs and long walks in the woods, openly queer but intensely private, Oliver was America’s unlikely contemporary mystic, stalking the ponds and forests of Cape Cod for nearly fifty years in order to open herself – and her readers – to the known and unknowable world. From a lonely childhood to literary fame, Oliver’s life was shaped by devotion to nature, paying attention, and the long journey toward learning to love and to be loved. Her poems inspire liberals and conservatives, atheists and believers, naturalists and urbanites, speaking directly to contemporary anxieties about attention, presence, and the human relationship with the natural world – issues that feel especially pressing in an era of climate crisis, digital distraction, and social fragmentation.

Featuring interviews with her close friends, including John Waters, never-before-seen personal photos, notebooks, and correspondence from her archive, and recitations of her work by Stephen Colbert, Lucy Dacus, Steve Buscemi, and Oprah Winfrey, *Mary Oliver: Saved by the Beauty of the World *considers the poet’s long lifetime of work in context, capturing the uniqueness of her world and the natural beauty that inspired her.

Soon, Graham and the FBI are entangled in a deadly cat-and-mouse game between the Tooth Fairy, Lecktor and an interfering journalist.

Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie

1926 - Silent • Live Accompaniment by Randy Woltz on the Mighty Wurlitzer • Introduction by Film Historian Randy Haberkamp • Director Ernst Lubitsch brings that famous “Lubitsch touch” to a silent comedy that's playful and surprisingly modern in how it handles romance and mischief. It’s a great reminder that silent-era comedy could be sophisticated without being stiff.

So This is Paris

1978 • This is the film that made people believe a comic-book hero could truly come alive on screen. Christopher Reeve is marvelous, making Superman noble and inspiring while also giving Clark Kent real sweetness and charm. John Williams’s score is one of the great glories of modern movie music, and hearing it in a theater is a thrill all by itself. The visual effects won a Special Achievement Academy Award, but what really lasts is the film’s heart. It has a sincerity and sense of wonder that still win people over. • Show begins with music on the Mighty Wurlitzer and an old fashioned sing-along.

Watch out for the double cross in Fritz Lang&#8217;s film noir classic *Scarlet Street *starring crime cinema&#8217;s crown prince Edward G. Robinson and the infectiously alluring Joan Bennett as the feisty femme fatale. Cashier and part-time starving artist Christopher Cross is absolutely smitten with the beautiful Kitty March. Kitty plays along, but she&#8217;s really only interested in Johnny, a two-bit crook. When Kitty and Johnny find out that art dealers are interested in Chris&#8217;s work, they con him into letting Kitty take credit for the paintings. Cross allows it because he is in love with Kitty, but his love will only let her get away with so much. A razor-sharp thriller with an abundance of artistic flourishes, plus wit and wisecracks, *Scarlet Street* is among Fritz Lang&#8217;s most entertaining masterpieces.

Vidiots is ecstatic to welcome director **Edgar Wright** for an evening of epic epicness starting with a screening of his beloved cult classic ***Scott Pilgrim vs. the World***.

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

A conversation with **Edgar Wright** will follow this screening, but the fun doesn&#8217;t end there! Join us as Wright introduces one of the wildest movies of all time, Russ Meyer&#8217;s [***Beyond the Valley of the Dolls!** *](https://vidiotsfoundation.org/movies/beyond-the-valley-of-the-dolls/)Please note, separate tickets will be required for each movie.

An Evening with Edgar Wright: Scott Pilgrim vs. the World

**Screenwriters**: Roger Ebert, Russ Meyer

**Producer**: Russ Meyer

Our evening of epic epicness continues with a special screening of Russ Meyer&#8217;s sexy psychedelic cinematic freakout *Beyond the Valley of the Dolls* introduced by **Edgar Wright**!

*This is my happening and it freaks me out!* Sex, drugs, rock n&#8217; roll, psychedelia, melodrama, camp, and just crazy crazy fun &#8211; there is no other film that gives so much! The only film penned by Roger Ebert, and the only studio film of Russ Meyer, this rock extravaganza is a one-of-a-kind spectacular of cinematic excess.  Only partially inspired by its predecessor *Valley of the Dolls, Beyond* is the Hollywood dream, nightmare, and wet-dream rolled into one, with one of the best on-screen bands (and soundtracks) in the history of film and wall-to-wall quotable dialogue and frenetic editing. An all-girl rock group finds fame, love, drugs, and drama when they move to LA, but success has its drawbacks, especially in the glittering city of the angels. A film so intensely groovy, funny, visually and sonically enthralling, you will never be the same again! Don&#8217;t miss your chance to rock out with these dolls on the big screen!

This screening is only half the fun! Join us earlier for a screening of [***Scott Pilgrim vs the World***](https://vidiotsfoundation.org/movies/scott-pilgrim-vs-the-world/) followed by a Q+A. Please note, separate tickets will be required for each movie.

1935 • Introduction by Karie Bible • Few films bring together this much classic Hollywood talent so effortlessly. Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers are at their most glamorous, Irving Berlin supplied the songs, and RKO gave it the shine and style that made its musicals so special. For anyone wanting to know what the great Hollywood musicals were like, this picture is a must-see. • Show begins with music on the Mighty Wurlitzer and an old fashioned sing-along.

Dive into this breathtaking and heartwarming adventure from the legendary Studio Ghibli, and Academy Award-winning director Hayao Miyazaki. When Sosuke, a young boy who lives on a clifftop overlooking the sea, rescues a stranded goldfish named Ponyo, he discovers more than he bargained for. Ponyo is a curious, energetic young creature who yearns to be human, but even as she causes chaos around the house, her father, a sorcerer, schemes to return Ponyo to the sea.

A View to a Kill

**Screenwriter**: Megan Griffiths

**Producers**: Lacey Leavitt,  Mischa Jakupcak,  Joy Saez

Vidiots is excited to welcome writer/director **Megan Griffiths** for a special 15th Anniversary screening of her engaging character study ***The Off Hours*** followed by a conversation with Griffiths and cast members **Amy Seimetz**, **Scoot McNairy, **and** Ross Partridge**, moderated by Vidiots Founding Member** Mark Duplass!**

You&#8217;re awake when everyone else is asleep. You&#8217;re standing still as traffic is whipping by at 70mph. Your off hours are spent trying to figure out why you&#8217;re here, whether you want to stay, and how to leave.

In *The** Off Hours*, Amy Seimetz commands the screen as Francine, a waitress whose liberation from her mundane existence is long overdue. In the restless world of the night shift at a highway diner, Francine&#8217;s life consists of casual encounters and transient friendships. What she wants is out of reach—or is it that she&#8217;s lost track of wanting anything at all? When a banker turned big-rig driver played by Ross Partridge becomes a regular, he sparks hope in Francine. As change begins to invade the quiet diner, Francine is reminded that it is never too late to become the person she was meant to be.

Writer/director Megan Griffiths draws complex characters and stays true to them, respecting their shortcomings and yearnings for connection. Lynn Shelton, Scoot McNairy, Tony Doupé, Bret Roberts and newcomers Gergana Mellin and Madeline Elizabeth round out the all-star indie cast of *The** Off Hours*.
