Mermaid Legend (1984) – I wasn’t as impressed as others have been about Ikeda’s revenge film about a woman tracking down the killers of her husband. It does have some interesting moment though.

Rosetta (1999) – Either one loves the perched-over-the-shoulder cinema of the Dardennes brothers, or they don’t. I love most of them. “Rosetta”, one of their first international hits, plays on Monday March 3rd
Working Girls (1986) – Filmmaker Lizzie Borden’s ultra-low budget film about sex workers in New York City is a blazing time capsule of the city and the underground DIY film style.
Screens on Monday March 10th
Belmont (2018) – From the website description: “Multiple award-winning Uruguayan director, Frederico Veiroj, returns to the international festival circuit with his fourth feature, BELMONTE. Belmonte is a middle-aged painter who creates unsettling and often confusing works of art that seem to speak to a growing melancholy and increasingly blurred lines between reality and dark fantasy. When he discovers his ex-wife becomes pregnant with another man’s child and is met with growing resistance over the custody of their daughter, Celeste, Belmonte retreats further into a world of foreboding unknown.”
Screens on Tuesday March 11th

Screens on Saturday March 8th
Please Baby Please (2022) – Amanda Kramer’s reverse 50’s drama/comedy is avant-garde, funny, pointed, queer, and bizarre. Should be a great time on the big screen.
