Tony
“It was here, all the way out at the tip of Cape Cod—Provincetown, Massachusetts—where the pilgrims first landed, and it was where I first landed. It was 1972, and I washed into a town with a headful of orange sunshine and a few friends. Provincetown was a wonderland of tolerance with a longtime tradition of accepting artists, writers, the badly behaved, the gay, the different. It was paradise.” - Anothy Bourdain
Directed by Matt Johnson(“Blackberry” and “Nirvanna The Band The Show The Movie,”) and starring Dominic Sessa, Emilia Jones, Leo Woodall, and Antonio Banderas. “Tony” follows a young Anthony Bourdain, who is “spoiled, miserable, narcissistic, self-destructive, and thoughtless” in his early years in Provincetown, he stumbles into the chaotic world of a restaurant kitchen, embarking on a summer that will shape the course of his life and eventually lead to “Kitchen Confidential.”

Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma
After years of slapdash sequels and waning fandom, the Camp Miasma slasher franchise is handed over to an enthusiastic young director (Hannah Einbinder) for resurrection. But when she visits the original's star (Gillian Anderson), a now-reclusive actress shrouded in mystery, the two women fall into a blood-soaked world of desire, fear, and delirium.
"Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma" is director Jane Schoenbrun’s ("I Saw the TV Glow") most personal film yet—as well as perhaps their most purely enjoyable. Paying homage to disreputable genres, while imbuing its deeply interrogative nature with a sense of genuine play, Schoenbrun’s film reveals a major turning point in the career of this groundbreaking auteur.

Spectacle: Fallen Angels
Part of our ongoing series "Spectacle." Feast your eyes on the beauty of the moving image! Featuring an extravaganza of cinema’s most visually captivating experiences that are sure to engage your senses!
Lost souls reach out for human connection amid a glimmering Hong Kong in Wong Kar Wai’s hallucinatory, neon-soaked nocturne.
Originally conceived as a segment of Chungking Express only to spin off on its own woozy axis, Fallen Angels plays like the dark, moody flip side of its predecessor as it charts the subtly interlacing fates of a handful of urban loners, including a coolly detached hit man (Leon Lai Ming) looking to go straight; his business partner (Michelle Reis), who secretly yearns for him; and a mute delinquent (Takeshi Kaneshiro) who wreaks mischief by night.
Swinging between hard-boiled noir and slapstick lunacy with giddy abandon, the film is both a dizzying, dazzling city symphony and a poignant meditation on love, loss, and longing in a metropolis that never sleeps.

Staff Picks: Memories of Murder
Based on the true story of South Korea’s first serial killer, Bong Joon Ho’s "Memories of Murder" offers a unique and haunting take on the police procedural, focusing on themes of failure and existential despair rather than typical crime thriller conventions.
Set against the political backdrop of the 1980s, the film follows two detectives—a small-town investigator and a young hotshot from Seoul—as they attempt to catch a serial killer targeting women on rainy nights. As their investigation leads to dead ends, they confront the harsh realities of their limitations.
While rooted in real events, the film is more than a documentary; it explores anti-heroism and human fallibility with quirky humor and strong performances from an exceptional cast, including Song Kang-ho, Kim Roi-ha, and Kim Sang-gyeong. "Memories of Murder" solidified Bong’s reputation as one of the leading directors in contemporary South Korean cinema.

Exhibition On Screen: James McNeill Whistler
In an era of great change and great beauty emerged the character of James McNeill Whistler. Considered by some to be one of the great innovators of 19th century art, he was a contemporary of the Impressionists, much admired by Van Gogh and Manet. Boldly experimental and famously witty, Whistler disrupted the strict conventions of Victorian society in pursuit of a new cult of beauty, creating “art for art’s sake” and earning himself a place in the history of great art. He found a parallel between painting and music, and entitled many of his paintings “arrangements”, “harmonies” and “nocturnes”, emphasizing the importance of tonal harmony in his work.
Exhibition on Screen will bring these stunning works and the incredible story behind them to cinemas around the world while the exhibition is still running, bringing this truly global artist to a global audience.

Battle of the Sexes: Birth
Battle of the Sexes is a series featuring films directed by women about men and films directed by men about women. Through titles like American Psycho, La Captive, Marnie, and Birth, our speakers will interrogate how films reinforce or distort gender roles. The series is hosted by Gabrielle Marceau from In the Mood Magazine.
"Jonathan Glazer's hypnotic and disturbing Birth examines how social expectations clash with our deepest longings.
Ten years after her husband’s death, a woman is preparing to remarry when a young boy shows up in her home, claiming to be her dead husband reincarnated. Soon, she finds herself increasingly willing to believe him and to unravel her life in the process.
Jonathan Glazer uses upper-class decorum and the backdrop of a gorgeously bleak New York winter to create a suffocating examination of a woman's inner world."
Introduced by Namah. Her writing can be found in Little White Lies, Cornelia & C Magazine. The impossibility of desire keeps her up at night.

Restoration: Bay of Blood
New 4K restoration by Severin Films!
After establishing the giallo genre with "Blood and Black Lace" in 1964, Mario Bava revolutionized the horror landscape again with "A Bay of Blood". Set at a lakeside cabin, this primal scream of a film doesn’t merely hint at what’s to come, rather it bursts onto the scene as the first slasher—fully formed, and without the threadbare hallmarks of the "proto" prefix.
Following the murder of Countess Federica Donati (Isa Miranda), an heiress possessing a beautiful piece of beachfront property, members of her family and the surrounding community engage in a killing spree, each with his own secret agenda. In addition to the string of creative murders, a group of hippies arrives on the premises, engage in promiscuous sex and find themselves dying one by one in this cult classic!

Scream Queens: Possession
Scream Queens is a tribute to the underestimated women in horror. Those who screamed, ran, fought, and clawed their way into cinematic history, becoming icons in their own right!
Polish director Andrej Zulawski's 1981 'Possession' remains one of the most demented movies of all time, constantly careening from mad creature-feature horror movie to Bergman-esque marital breakdown and back again. This psychological horror drama film stars Isabelle Adjani and Sam Neill and was an international co-production between France and West Germany.
Trying to classify Possession, critics drew parallels with Roman Polanski's Repulsion and David Cronenberg's The Brood. The genre of the film is still matter of controversy. Shortly after its release, the film was banned from distribution in the United Kingdom.
