Tangerine (2015) – With Sean Baker’s much anticipated Anora opening this week, a double feature paired with this earlier lauded masterpiece (filmed on an iPhone) will be screened.
Screens on Wednesday November 6th
Near Dark (1987) – One of the best vampire movies ever, Kathryn Bigelow’s film hews close to the lore and mythos while updating its themes of consumption and immortality for the neon 1980’s.
Screens on Tuesday November 12th
Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975) – A highly quotable film whose British humor doesn’t resonate with everyone. If you love this film, you really love it.
Screens on Wednesday November 13th
Pulp Fiction (1994) – A 30th anniversary screening on 35MM.
Screens on Thursday November 14th
Society (1989) – I cannot stress enough the stomach-turning, gruesome places Brian Yuzna’s film goes to.
Screens on Friday November 15th
The Dirt Bike Kid (1985) – After success with A Christmas Story, actor Peter Billingsly became a bankable child star and this weird film about a flying bike (which I watched endlessly on the early days of HBO) is the perfect example of loony 80’s kid fare.
Screens on Sunday November 17th
The Sacrifice (1985) – Andrei Tarkovsky’s final film is art house cinema of the highest order. I respected his work more than like him, but this one is meditative and should be wonderful on a big screen.
Screens on Sunday November 17th
Spacy
1300 S Polk St #160a, Dallas, TX 75224 (located inside Tyler Station). Information about the venue can be found here
Charisma (1999) – While I feel this is one of Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s weaker efforts, this eco thriller does feel like one of his more pointed efforts towards the future (and his post 2K films), mixing ambient noise and a visual slickness that would come to define his later work.
Screens on Wednesday November 6th
Murdering the Devil (1970) – The only feature by Czech filmmaker Ester Krumbachova. I’m very curious for this one.
Screens on Thursday November 7th
Silvia Prieto (1999) – Presented by the Latin American Film Festival of Dallas, this Argentinian “comedy of details” came out during that amazing year of 1999 when all movie culture seemed to be crackling.
Screens on Tuesday November 12th
Bright Future (2002) – Last month, the mini focus shined on Takeshi Kitano. Naturally, this month celebrates Kiyoshi Kurosawa, and this second film of the month is a good introduction to the filmmaker’s shaggy, mysterious narratives in the early aughts.
Screens on Wednesday November 13th
Diamonds of the Night (1964) – Jan Nemec’s compact, enthralling survival thriller about two young boys fleeing across a winterland with a small Nazi army after them is a perfect example of the Czech New Wave’s ability to fathom new depths about the Holocaust.
Screens on Thursday November 14th
Red Spirit Lake (1993) – Splatter-gore SOV effort by Charles Pinon about the ramifications of a woman’s murder. The introduction calls this a hyper-violent film akin to those of Richard Kern and other no budget provocateurs. Presented by Evan Gordon.
Screens on Saturday November 16th
We Await (1996) – A second film by Charles Pinon about a man held captive by a family of cannibals that includes religion, body immolation and lots of psychedelics. If crazed, shot on video dramatics from the mid 90’s are your thing, this double feature is for you.
Screens on Saturday November 16th
Tokyo Sonata (2008) – One of Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s best films, Tokyo Sonata strips away most of the filmmaker’s pretenses and becomes a focused film about the nuclear family and how we lie to one another to maintain the status quo. But, in Kurosawa’s own way, it’s also a very funny and poignant treatise on modern society.

Screens on Wednesday November 13th
Defending Your Life (1991) – There was no one better in the 80’s and 90’s than Albert Brooks making adult comedies that straddle the line between low and high brow. Rediscover this very funny film.

California Split (1974) – One of Robert Altman’s lesser mentioned films is also one of his very best (in a long career).

An early purveyor of the now infamous “anxiety inducing” cinema of the Safdies Brothers and Sean Baker.

Screens on Tuesday November 12th

Basquiat (1996) – One of the best films of the 1990’s. Directed by artist Julian Schnabel, the film is a who’s-who of modern-day stars, led by Jeffrey Wright’s spectacular performance as the titular artist. And it features one of the most moving endings….. ever.
