A true San Francisco experience, THE JOY OF LIFE also includes poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti intoning his ode to the City by the Bay, ‘The Changing Light’, and features music from legendary poet-painter (and probable Golden Gate suicide) Weldon Kees.” –FRAMELINEJenni Olson in person on Fri, July 10!CLICK HERE TO BUY TICKETS NOW!

REVIVAL RUN – NEWLY RESTORED 35MM PRINT!Collection of the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture, Gift of the family of Robert L. Goodwin Sr. Preservation of BLACK CHARIOT made possible by a generous grant from the National Film Preservation Foundation. Additional funding by the Earl W. and Amanda Stafford Center for African American Media Arts (CAAMA). Special thanks to Ina Archer & Bleakley McDowell (NMAAHC); Rhea Combs; and George Schmalz (Kino Lorber).A fascinating rediscovery, BLACK CHARIOT is the sole feature film by Robert L. Goodwin, a writer, director, and actor who, in the 1960s, represented one of the very few Black artists working in the television industry. The son of writer, poet, and actress Ruby Berkley Goodwin – who was the author of the 1930s-40s syndicated column, “Hollywood in Bronze”, and appeared in numerous films, television programs, and stage plays throughout the 1940s-50s – Robert Goodwin’s career began when he wrote and produced the 1963 TV movie THE UPPER CHAMBER, a chamber drama about four men on death row that soon led to work writing scripts for television shows such as “Bonanza”, “Julia”, “The Big Valley”, “All in the Family”, and others. While gaining experience on these works-for-hire, Goodwin began marshaling his resources towards his passion project, a feature film that would be produced and financed entirely independently (the money was largely crowd-sourced from within the Black community in Los Angeles). Ultimately realized in 1971, with exterior shots filmed on 35mm and interiors on video, BLACK CHARIOT revolves around the character of Tuck – played by football-player-turned-prolific-actor Bernie Casey (BOXCAR BERTHA, CLEOPATRA JONES, THE MAN WHO FELL TO EARTH, THE GLASS SHIELD, etc) – who joins a Black-Panther-like radical group, and is forced to contend with the fallout that ensues from the betrayal of one of its members. Telling its story by means of an affecting flashback structure, and full of fascinating glimpses into the era’s radical Black politics – not to mention the urban landscapes of early-1970s Los Angeles – BLACK CHARIOT also marks the debut of iconic actress Barbara O.Jones, who would later deliver indelible performances in Haile Gerima’s CHILD OF RESISTANCE (1973) and BUSH MAMA (1979), Julie Dash’s DAUGHTERS OF THE DUST(1991), and many other films. Following its premiere in 1971 at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium, BLACK CHARIOT seems to have been screened only a handful of times, and was long feared lost until it was recently rediscovered by curator Rhea Combs. Over the past several years the film has been carefully restored by the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC), and thanks to their efforts, Anthology is able to present a week-long run – its first ever theatrical engagement on the East Coast – with all screenings on 35mm! Fri-Thurs, July 10-16 at 6:45 & 9:00 nightly. The screening on Fri, July 10 at 6:45 will be introduced by Rhea Combs, who is currently Senior Fellow in Contemporary and Global Art at the Baltimore Museum of Art.

Imagining a world without gender, SPACE IS QUITE A LOT OF THINGS takes us on a journey accompanied by jellyfish and disco uncles that explores and expands the trans imaginary.

Reflecting on the life and death of trans ancestors, Zafira Vrba Woodski cries tears made of their own Estrogen gel and Testosterone gel they were gifted after a friend’s death (I’M CONTINUOUSLY CRYING TEARS OF ESTROGEN AND TEARS OF TESTOSTERONE), and Anna Linder’s SPERMWHORE uses hand-processed experimental Super-8mm filmmaking and their own queer extended family to represent radical new visions of creating life.August Joensalo SPACE IS QUITE A LOT OF THINGS 2021, 11 min, DCPJuli Apponen CAR WASH 2018, 5 min, DCPMax Göran FILMING DAD’S ASS WHILE HE’S CHOPPING LOGS WITH HIS CHAINSAW 2018, 23 min, DCPLasse Långström CRY ALLIANCE OF OUR HATRED 2010, 6 min, DCPZafira Vrba Woodski I’M CONTINUOUSLY CRYING TEARS OF ESTROGEN AND TEARS OF TESTOSTERONE 2020, 6 min, DCPAnna Linder SPERMWHORE 2016, 12 min, DCPTotal running time: ca. 70 min.Filmmaker and SAQMI founder/artistic director Anna Linder in person on Sun, July 12!CLICK HERE TO BUY TICKETS NOW!

Though they come from radically different cultures, their bond is strengthened by a shared fascination with Lou Sullivan, a gay transgender AIDS activist whose letters and interviews become the film’s historical core. Pivoting between fantasy, fiction, and fact, DESIRE LINES blends candid interviews, archival materials, and narrative fiction as a framework for exploring the complicated and often unwritten history of transmasculine sexuality.“If I tried to make a film where the content was asking audiences to let go of binary ways of thinking, but the form was operating from within a binary, I don’t think it would be as effective.” –Jules RosskamJules Rosskam in person on Sat, July 11!CLICK HERE TO BUY TICKETS NOW!

Amid the coastal landscapes of Ecuador and Peru, the debut feature by Juan Carlos Donoso Gómez reconstructs the fragmented memories of former huaqueros – artifact hunters who participated in the illegal excavation and trade of pre-Hispanic objects. Blending documentary and fiction through dramatic reenactments and firsthand testimonies from looters, archaeologists, and counterfeiters, the film explores the tensions between ancestral knowledge, heritage crime, and the enduring wounds of colonialism. Exquisitely shot on washed-out 16mm film evocative of vintage travelogues, HUAQUERO brushes away the dirt of memory to uncover competing versions of truth while remaining deeply rooted in the local perspectives of the communities whose histories have long been excavated, sold, and erased. A meditation on territory, belonging, and memory, the film explores the fragile line between truth and fiction, authenticity, and forgery, reclaiming the contemporary Andean world as a living, contested landscape still haunted by the legacy of colonialism.CLICK HERE TO BUY TICKETS NOW!

Almost never screened in North America in this form, Stephen Chow’s original Cantonese theatrical version of SHAOLIN SOCCER arrives at the festival from Universe’s recent 2K digital remaster DCP. For years, the film has too often circulated here in compromised form: old Blu-rays, soft home-video masters, or the notorious English-dubbed Miramax version that cut the film down and sanded away part of its Hong Kong lunacy. Chow plays Sing, a broke Shaolin disciple trying to bring kung fu back to the people before poverty finishes him first. His plan: reunite his washed-up martial-arts brothers, build a soccer team, and enter a tournament where physics, dignity, and basic sportsmanship all get kicked into the upper deck. This was the film that turned Chow into a global cult hero: wire-fu, underdog sports-movie delirium, Bruce Lee worship, Zhao Wei’s tai chi baker, and transcendent lowbrow genius.CLICK HERE TO BUY TICKETS NOW!

Restored by Anthology Film Archives and The Film Foundation. Funding provided by the Hobson/Lucas Family Foundation. Special thanks to Brian Block, Cyma Rubin, and Rosemary Rogers.A delightfully demented, surreal, and subversive religious allegory set in the days of covered wagons and American pioneers, GREASER’S PALACE is, at its core, an avant-garde parody of the classic American Western. Originally pitched as “Christ coming back in a Western,” the film follows Jesse (Allan Arbus), a zoot-suited Christ figure, from his sudden arrival at a small desert outpost to his prophesied death soon thereafter. Along the way, and much to the delight and bafflement of the outpost’s eccentric population, Jesse performs a variety of miracles, among them a show-stopping boogie-woogie performance in the wooden “palace” of the brutal, de facto leader Seaweedhead Greaser.While GREASER’S only had a short theatrical run, and has rarely been shown on film since, it found an audience years later on home video, as well as prominent champions such as directors Paul Thomas Anderson and the Coen brothers. Fortunately, the original 35mm negative, long thought to be lost, was rediscovered in 2017. This rediscovery enabled Anthology to initiate the years-long process of fully restoring this independent classic, Downey’s most singular work.“Giant themes, fabulous crazy story-line, brilliant performances, camerawork, editing, music and design, hilarious comedy, unspeakably heartbreaking (but sometimes funny) violence, and transcendent emotional and spiritual richness – GREASER’S PALACE has got it all and it comes together and cooks in a way that makes it impossible to describe GREASER’S as anything less than one of the very boldest and greatest motion pictures ever made.” –Jonathan DemmeCLICK HERE TO BUY TICKETS NOW!

“Consciously self-reflexive and co-written by Hopper and REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE screenwriter Stewart Stern, THE LAST MOVIE follows a Hollywood movie crew in the midst of making a western in a remote Peruvian village. When production wraps, Hopper, as the baleful stuntman Kansas, remains, attempting to find redemption in the isolation of Peru and the arms of a former prostitute. Meanwhile, the local Indians have taken over the abandoned set and begun to stage a ritualistic re-enactment of the production – with Kansas as their sacrificial lamb. Among the most storied productions of the New Hollywood Era, Hopper was given carte blanche by Universal for his next directorial feature after the tremendous commercial success of EASY RIDER, and the writer-director-star took the money and ran – literally – staging THE LAST MOVIE in Peru at farthest remove from the Hollywood machine, with an on-screen entourage in tow that included Kris Kristofferson, Julie Adams, Stella Garcia, Peter Fonda, Dean Stockwell, Toni Basil, Russ Tamblyn, Michelle Phillips, and director Samuel Fuller. Although it won a special award at the Venice Film Festival, THE LAST MOVIE would effectively end Hopper’s career for many years – the Hollywood establishment gleefully writing him off as a self-indulgent madman. Yet the movie remains thrillingly innovative and remarkably contemporary – influenced greatly by the work of Bruce Conner and the French New Wave, as well as the Pop and Abstract artists Hopper revered.” –Jessica HundleyCLICK HERE TO BUY TICKETS NOW!

Dir. Holly Fisher

In Holly Fisher’s experimental, feminist feature, she explores ideas of the Western while visually constructing a story about gender relations. Interweaving and layering images from Ford’s MY DARLING CLEMENTINE (from a silent Super-8mm print she discovered in a NYC hardware store), she uses optical printing, postcards of Renaissance paintings of women, footage of women working in a Maine herring factory, feminist poetry, and excerpts from a pulp-Western author’s autobiography, in an attempt to, in her words, “understand how to make a structure that puts women as the subject, not the object.” She has further observed, “It’s a Western filtered through a post-feminist movement sensibility…It shows what I think is happening in my film, which is that history is relative to who is writing it and when.”Preceded by:Esther Shatavsky BEDTIME STORY 1981, 6 min, 16mm-to-35mm, silent.

Dir. Takashi Miike

Few films have detonated on the festival circuit quite like Takashi Miike’s hardcore adaptation of Hideo Yamamoto’s manga. A quarter-century on, it has lost none of its power to shock. In Tokyo’s yakuza netherworld, the masochistic enforcer Kakihara finds his path crossing that of Ichi, a crybaby psycho killer engineered for violence by forces he barely grasps. Split-cheeked, peroxide-blond, and addicted to pain, Kakihara searches for the missing boss he loved and the sadist who can finally hurt him badly enough. His quarry turns out to be Ichi, a weeping wreck of a man conditioned into a human weapon by a manipulator with his own designs. Miike stages the carnage as nightmare slapstick and tender horror by turns, and Asano gives one of the great performances of his career. A landmark of Japanese extreme cinema, and one of NYAFF’s foundational obsessions.CLICK HERE TO BUY TICKETS NOW!

Dir. Adolfas Mekas

Adolfas Mekas’s second feature film was this adaptation of a Mark Twain short story. Hatfield is a carpetbagger who marries the daughter of a prominent plantation owner in order to humiliate him. He mistreats his wife, but she stoically refuses to complain to her father. Finally, he ties her to a tree and lets bloodhounds tear off her clothes. The girl’s father dies of embarrassment, and, shortly thereafter, she gives birth to a son who grows up and heads west to avenge his mother.“The first half has the deceptively rustic humor of Twain, as a dastardly Northerner marries the daughter of a mellow Southern plantation owner. The man (played by Hurd Hatfield) mistreats the girl to get revenge on the father…even tying her up to a tree with bloodhounds ripping her clothes. All this is done with the right use of mellow silent film techniques of obvious emoting, with the balance of mock seriousness, lampoon, and sentiments sans slush. […] Mekas again shows he has a way with parody and he gets disarmingly innocent performances from his actors.” –VARIETYCLICK HERE TO BUY TICKETS NOW!

This breezy 1980s comedy may be no masterpiece, but it’s saturated with racetrack atmosphere and an appreciation for the characters that make the track their home(-away-from-home). And it also boasts a crazy array of talent in front of and behind the camera: aside from star Richard Dreyfuss, the cast features an incongruously counterculture-heavy lineup including Mary Woronov, Richard Edson, and the New York Dolls’ David Johansen (not to mention Teri Garr, Jennifer Tilly, Allen Garfield, Robbie Coltrane, Cynthia Nixon, and the Mamas and the Papas’ Michelle Phillips), while the film was cut by legendary editor Dede Allen, and scored by Giorgio Moroder! Huh?“The spirit of Damon Runyon hangs heavily over LET IT RIDE, the 1989 feature debut for celebrated commercial director Joe Pytka. Starring Richard Dreyfuss as what used to be called a horse-racing degenerate and Teri Garr as his (what else but) long-suffering wife, LET IT RIDE is jam-packed with generically colorful characters with nicknames like Cheeseburger and Vibes. Its plot, not the most original in the world, has a cab driver named Trotter (Dreyfuss) suddenly realizing that he is walking around lucky, that any horse he bets on is going to come home a winner.” –Kenneth Turan, ESPNPreceded by:Werner Herzog PRECAUTIONS AGAINST FANATICS / MASSNAHMEN GEGEN FANATIKER (1969, 11 min, 16mm-to-DCP.

Dir. Ben Rivers

Ben Rivers’s deeply unsettling yet visually and texturally exquisite film was shot during the filming of Oliver Laxe’s film, MIMOSAS, and features Laxe himself in the central role. Part documentary, part fable, it is a reimagining of Paul Bowles’s brutal short story, “A Distant Episode” (1947). Like MIMOSAS, it was filmed on 16mm, against the backdrop of the Atlas Mountains and the desert sands of the Moroccan Sahara, where Laxe is seen at work on his film. Soon though, this version of Laxe abandons his set and his crew, and begins to take on the role of Bowles’s protagonist, a professor of linguistics travelling through Morocco in the late 1940s who suffers a rapid descent into misadventure and madness. Standing in strange relation to MIMOSAS, THE SKY TREMBLES displays its own set of thematic concerns and a radically different rhythm and texture. And yet, both films share a dreamlike trajectory, a sense of parallel realities bleeding into each other, and a sometimes terrifying vision of violence as an immutable feature of the landscape.CLICK HERE TO BUY TICKETS NOW!

And do they really know the way? In another world, a mysterious young man is chosen to find the caravan.

Beautiful, bizarre and strangely addictive, the film begins as a botched hit which results in the meeting of brunette amnesiac Rita (Laura Harring – Love in the Time of Cholera) and blonde would-be Hollywood actress Betty (Naomi Watts – Birdman, 21 Grams). Taking the viewer on a memorable neo-noir trip through Hollywood’s dark underbelly, Lynch dispenses with a conventional narrative in favour of a hallucinogenic assault on the senses that will stay with you long after the credits roll. Recently voted the best film of the 21st Century in a BBC Culture poll, MULHOLLAND DRIVE is essential viewing by one of the masters of contemporary American cinema. David Lynch’s scary and seductive vision of Hollywood is a true masterpiece, weaving together a tale of love, jealousy, and revenge like no other.

In the 1970s, Pierre was one of the hottest hustlers in Paris, spending his nights with clients who kept him financially comfortable. But the glory days don’t last forever, and in 2007, where BEFORE I FORGET begins, Pierre’s life is very different. He’s in his 60s, a long-time HIV survivor who struggles with his health and deep financial instability now that his regular benefactors are gone. He finds comfort in going through the motions with young hustlers he hires, and connecting with old colleagues. But the question remains: what will become of him? The final entry in actor-screenwriter-director Jacques Nolot’s “partly autobiographical” trilogy is as unique as it is beguiling, and probably hits different depending on your own place in the gay food chain. Nolot himself saw the film as an important chance to show sides of gay life that few films show, telling Dennis Lim, “The gay community doesn’t appreciate it because it sees itself as always irresistible. I have nothing to do with the typical gay cinema. In fact I’m against it. I choose not to comfort the spectator.” Gays who do appreciate Nolot’s film include iconic director John Waters who called it “the best feel-bad gay movie ever made”, and “brave, funny, gayly incorrect, and smart as a whip,” while Ira Sachs said BEFORE I FORGET “reads like a diary entry and is just as intimate…. The film chronicles…like few films I’ve ever seen, the experience of being alone. The ending is a bravura moment of self-discovery…as defiant a metaphor of queer filmmaking as any I know.”CLICK HERE TO BUY TICKETS NOW!

Restored by Anthology Film Archives and The Film Foundation. Funding provided by the Hobson/Lucas Family Foundation. Special thanks to Brian Block, Cyma Rubin, and Rosemary Rogers.A delightfully demented, surreal, and subversive religious allegory set in the days of covered wagons and American pioneers, GREASER’S PALACE is, at its core, an avant-garde parody of the classic American Western. Originally pitched as “Christ coming back in a Western,” the film follows Jesse (Allan Arbus), a zoot-suited Christ figure, from his sudden arrival at a small desert outpost to his prophesied death soon thereafter. Along the way, and much to the delight and bafflement of the outpost’s eccentric population, Jesse performs a variety of miracles, among them a show-stopping boogie-woogie performance in the wooden “palace” of the brutal, de facto leader Seaweedhead Greaser.While GREASER’S only had a short theatrical run, and has rarely been shown on film since, it found an audience years later on home video, as well as prominent champions such as directors Paul Thomas Anderson and the Coen brothers. Fortunately, the original 35mm negative, long thought to be lost, was rediscovered in 2017. This rediscovery enabled Anthology to initiate the years-long process of fully restoring this independent classic, Downey’s most singular work.“Giant themes, fabulous crazy story-line, brilliant performances, camerawork, editing, music and design, hilarious comedy, unspeakably heartbreaking (but sometimes funny) violence, and transcendent emotional and spiritual richness – GREASER’S PALACE has got it all and it comes together and cooks in a way that makes it impossible to describe GREASER’S as anything less than one of the very boldest and greatest motion pictures ever made.” –Jonathan DemmeCLICK HERE TO BUY TICKETS NOW!

Craig BaldwinWILD GUNMAN1978, 20 min, 16mm“This film is a meditation on the Marlboro Man, a compilation of images and associations designed to deconstruct this image of masculinity and consumer addiction. Not only the Man himself, but the entire myth of the cowboy and the West are its targets. The film veers from heavily-manipulated optical printer work to straight advertising footage from commercials and B-movies. Though there is no ‘history’ (which is the basis for [Baldwin’s] subsequent films) the style that characterizes all his work is firmly in place. The combination of social satire/deconstruction and recovered film images is used as a detournement – a Situationist attack against the oppression of corporate advertising.” –Tim Maloney, SENSES OF CINEMACharles I. LevineHORSEOPERA (A WESTERN)1970, 24 min, 16mm“I have used individual shots as loops to achieve a visually harmonic form, in which a variation of particular actions is made to produce a rhythmic structure. The whole panorama of the winning of the West is at hand from horse and wagon to great railroad locomotives that charge across the plains and mountains relentlessly, always watched by the Indians. Stereotyped characters and actions are transformed and become larger than life, building blocks for a plastic mosaic. Epic conflict is in motion between good and evil…the bad guys kill, rape and plunder both the land and the people, nothing is beneath them and they will not let anyone stand in their way.

The music and the images cascade back over themselves, folding, repositioning, repeating, alive with rapture…and, again, longing.” –Laurel Reuter, NORTH DAKOTA MUSEUM OF ARTTotal running time: ca. 90 min.CLICK HERE TO BUY TICKETS NOW!

Daniel lives with his grandmother and, after a year of high school, goes to live with his mother in the south of France; a harsher environment which rapidly changes his perception of friends, work, and women.

Dir. Robert Bresson

A magnificent drama about a thief, his techniques, motives, and secret existence. The plot is modeled loosely on Dostoevsky’s CRIME AND PUNISHMENT, but the rigorous intensity of the treatment is pure Bresson, as he tells the compelling story of an insignificant man who drifts into crime and finally finds grace in a prison cell. The famous scene of the pickpocket’s magical raid on a train station ranks as one of the great tours-de-force of French cinema.CLICK HERE TO BUY TICKETS NOW!

Moustapha AlassaneAN ADVENTURER’S HOMECOMING / RETOUR D’UN AVENTURIER1966, 34 min, 16mm-to-DCP. In Hausa and French with English subtitles.“Jimi flies back to his native village after a long absence and convinces his friends to become cowboys. Renamed Black Cooper, John Kelly, Breaker, Billy Walter, and Queen Christine, they steal horses, terrorize sheepherders, and brawl in the neighborhood saloon to the horror of the locals. Drawing maximum effects from an economy of means, Alassane’s brilliant comedy intertwines central modernization plots in West Africa and Europe after the war (a traveler’s return, the youth problem, the arrival of new technology) with the outlaw gang and frontier-town-under-attack narratives that were mainstays of the western genre. By stripping these stories of their conventional moral weight, he opens his film, ‘the first African western,’ to the widest scope of possible interpretations.” –Jamie Berthe & Sam Di IorioKevin Jerome EversonTEN FIVE IN THE GRASS2011, 32 min, Super-8mm-to-digital. Screening courtesy the artist and Picture Palace Pictures.“The black western richly provokes the mythology of the American West and the idea of film genre as a historiographic Imagineering by tacitly revealing how the narrative form has covertly borne a racial and cultural ideal. The genre’s classical themes of nation-building, the civilizing of savage lands, utopianism, and the discreteness of good and evil become refabulated as Everson draws attention to absences, disavowals, and the difference of a culture other than pale riders. Everson’s TEN FIVE IN THE GRASS examines the craft of the black cowboy. The film illustrates Everson’s interest in everyday intellect by observing the rituals of the grooming of horses, riding, and roping. The piece is set in a practice space in Natchez, Mississippi run by Fred Mayberry, a rancher and professional rodeo calf roper.” –Michael B.
