OPERA
Sun-Mon, Oct 29-30

OPERA

Straight from a surprise screening at this year’s sold-out edition of 12 Hours of Terror, we offer additional screenings of Dario Argento’s brilliantly deranged and ultra-stylized giallo. New 4K Restoration
AMERICAN GRAFFITI
Sat-Mon, Nov 4-6

AMERICAN GRAFFITI

Spend the night cruising around small town Northern California with a group of teenagers as they revel in their youth, great music and the fleeting freedom of summer. Like THE EXORCIST, this seeming massive omission from our 1973 series is rectified with a brand-new 50th Anniversary 4K Restoration.
FAREWELL MY CONCUBINE
Tue-Wed, Nov 21-22

FAREWELL MY CONCUBINE

Liberated from a certain imprisoned producer who cut over 10% of the film for its U.S. release, this visually resplendent, exquisitely-shot epic returns to U.S. theaters newly restored and fully intact. Don’t miss the repertory hit of 2023. New 4K Restoration
EMITAÏ
Mon, Nov 20 at 3:20pm

EMITAÏ

During World War II, French forces and their lackeys comb the countryside, conscripting young men and attempting to seize rice for their soldiers, a crop used by villagers for funeral rites rather than food. With unflinching realism, Sembène explores the strains that colonialism places upon cultural traditions and, in the process, discovers a people’s hidden reserves of rebellion and dignity.
XALA
Tue, Nov 21 at 2:30pm

XALA

In Dakar, a French delegation is shown the door and local government officials claim autonomy — but is some light embezzlement and a backdoor deal with the French to blame for El Hadji’s newfound impotence on the night he’s to be wed to a third bride? Sembène’s satire of an inept patriarchy lopes along to the breezy sounds of the wedding band until truth exacts its retribution.
CEDDO
Wed, Nov 22 at 2:30pm

CEDDO

Banned in Senegal upon its original release, CEDDO is an ambitious, multilayered historical epic that explores the combustible interstices between a pre-colonial village’s Muslim majority and its outsiders, followers of an Indigenous religion who act upon the suspicion that they’re being targeted for religious conversion.
THE LAST WALTZ
Mon, Nov 20 at 5:20pm, 8:00pm

THE LAST WALTZ

Established here as a perennial kickoff to the week of Thanksgiving, we present Martin Scorsese’s masterful 1978 concert film — an all-star affair, seven-camera set-up capturing The Band’s final gig and Bill Graham’s incredibly satisfying prelude to Thanksgiving dinner.
THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH
Thu-Sun, Nov 23-26 at 2:30pm

THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH

While vacationing in Morocco, a doctor (James Stewart) and his wife (Doris Day) become embroiled in an assassination plot that takes them all the way from Marrakech to London to expose the conspirators and save their son. New 4K Restoration
VICTIMS OF SIN
Sat-Sun, Dec 2-3

VICTIMS OF SIN

Violeta, a cabaret performer, adopts the abandoned child of Rita and Rodolfo, her murderous pimp. Motherhood forces Violeta to give up her career, but the kindhearted club owner Santiago saves her from a life of poverty and prostitution — until Rodolfo, freed from prison, seeks to reclaim his son. New 4K Restoration
