7:30 PM : The Crime is Mine

French director François Ozon (Swimming Pool; 8 Women) is at his most playful in this sparkling retro confection inspired by classic Hollywood screwball comedies of the 1930s.  In The Crime is Mine, Madeleine (Nadia Tereszkiewicz, Only the Animals), a young, penniless and untalented actress, is accused of  murdering a famous producer.  With the help of her best friend, Pauline (Rebecca Marder, A Radiant Girl), a young unemployed lawyer, Madeline decides not to argue her (actual) innocence, instead taking credit and pleading self-defense for publicity’s sake.  Notoriety and success is achieved … but what if the real killer turns up to steal back that ill-gotten fame?   Plush ’30s period trappings, rising French film stars and several welcome familiar faces adorn this wildly comedic soufflé that puts a distinctly modern and biting spin on a satire reminiscent of Chicago. Arriving to the party fashionably late is legendary Oscar-nominee Isabelle Huppert (Elle) in hilariously rare form as “Madame Odette,” a flamboyant gorgon who’s like an Edward Gorey drawing come to life. (Dir. by François Ozon, 2023, France, in French with English subtitles, 102 mins., Not Rated)

7:45 PM : Fallen Leaves

The latest melancholic comedy from Oscar-nominated Finnish master Aki Kaurismäki (The Man Without a Past, Le Havre) is an endearing romantic tale of two lost souls on the bumpy road to finding each other, told in his trademark deadpan style, and cleverly incorporating biting political commentary as well as plenty of cinematic in-jokes and droll humor. Ansa (Alma Pöysti), works in a supermarket on an exploitative zero-hours contract. Bristling against having to throw away perfectly good food at the end of the day, she is fired when caught hand-bagging an expired sandwich. Later in a karaoke bar, Ansa meets construction worker and fellow lonely soul Holappa (Jussi Vatanen), sparking an immediate connection. Their relationship blossoms during a successful movie date, albeit one with curious cinematic taste (our hangdog lovers choose Jim Jarmusch’s zombie comedy, The Dead Don’t Die).  But a subsequent series of comical mishaps seems to imply that this budding romance could be doomed… (Dir. by Aki Kaurismäki, 2023, Finland/Germany, in Finnish with English subtitles, 81 mins., Not Rated)

On a stormy night in the mountains of Greece, a pair of wayward young people abandon their newborn child. Taken in by a family of farmers, Jon grows up without knowing his father or mother. Years later, after a tragic accident, he is sent to prison, where he meets Iro, a prison officer who shows him great affection and tenderness.  The two form a connection, expressed through music, that will, by turns, haunt them and uphold them the rest of their days. Freely inspired by the story of Oedipus, writer/director Schanelec’s latest is as terrifying as myth and as gentle as a folk song. (Dir. by Angela Schanelec, 2023, Germany/Greece/France/Serbia, in Greek/German/English with English subtitles, 108 mins., Not Rated)

5:15 PM : Silver Dollar Road

A Black family in North Carolina battles decades of harassment by land developers trying to seize their waterfront property, in this searing documentary from Oscar-nominated director Raoul Peck (I Am Not Your Negro). For generations, the North Carolina waterfront property known locally as Silver Dollar Road was passed through the hands of an African American family, the Reels. Family members describe it as an idyllic spot where they could earn a living from fishing and growing their own food while isolating themselves from the violence of white supremacy.But the family’s fortunes changed in the 1970s when developers sought to drive out Black landowners and profit from the real estate. Filmmaker Raoul Peck tells the story of how the Reels battled over several decades to save their land.  Peck’s depiction of the Reels unfolds with novelistic detail, profiling the matriarch Gertrude in her nineties and her sons, Melvin Davis and Licurtis Reels.  The film’s cinematic portrayal of the land and water deeply conveys why it means more to the Reels than any developer’s offer. As their case churns through the courts, we witness how power is wielded against Black families in ways both blatant and subtle. But the Reels never give up their fight. (Dir. by Raoul Peck, 2023, USA, 100 mins, Rated PG)

In the small rural village in Malaysia where her life is structured around the strict rhythms of school and the rules of Muslim faith, this could become a problem … a terrifying problem. Soon, a panic spreads across town. A monster is rumored to be roaming the woods. Zaffan, further ostracized by her peers for her nascent otherness, is pushed to the brink. She resorts to a radical solution: to accept the woman she is becoming and to embrace the animal within… and without.  The first Malaysian film to win the Grand Prize at Cannes’ Critics’ Week, Tiger Stripes is a delightful addition to the canon of feminist, body-horror-tinged coming-of-age films. (Dir. by Amanda Nell Eu, 2023, Malaysia, in Malay with English subtitles, 95 mins., Not Rated)

3:00 PM : Boca Chica

Rising starlet Scarlet Camilo steals the show in this vibrant, coming-of-age drama about a musically-gifted young woman determined to find her voice and escape the ever-present threats of family betrayal and child prostitution on the beaches of her hometown in the Dominican Republic.

As a young girl growing up in the beachside community of Boca Chica, Dominican Republic, Desi spends her days dreaming of becoming a famous singer. She keeps her musical aspirations a secret from her family, specifically the women in her life who have raised her. Her occasional confidante is her brother, Fran, who struggles to make ends meet in New York City as a food delivery driver while pursuing his own dreams of hitting it big as a musician. Desi finds herself at a crossroads after meeting a group of Dominican teens— also aspiring singers and rappers— that lights a spark in her artistic pursuit.

10:00 AM : Joan Baez: I Am a Noise

Joan Baez: I Am a Noise is an unusually intimate psychological portrait of legendary folk singer and activist, Joan Baez. Neither a conventional biopic nor a traditional concert film, this immersive documentary moves back and forth through time as it follows Joan on her farewell tour and delves deep into her extraordinary archive, including newly-discovered home movies, diaries, artwork, therapy tapes and audio recordings. Throughout the film, Baez is remarkably revealing about her life on and off stage – from her lifelong emotional struggles to her civil rights work with MLK and a heartbreaking romance with a young Bob Dylan. A searingly honest look at a living legend, the film is a compelling and deeply personal exploration of an iconic artist and voice of a generation who has never told the full truth of her life, as she experienced it, until now.

While frantically searching for a way back to Amine, Itto unexpectedly finds emancipation and the possibility of solace in a new world order.  For her astonishing feature debut, director Sofia Alaoui deploys a hypnotic visual style to birth an imaginative sci-fi drama that explores the unsettling circumstances of a world that no longer seems recognizable.

10:15 AM : Go On, Be Brave

Go On, Be Brave begins with Andrea Lytle Peet’s life-altering ALS diagnosis in 2014 at the age of 33.The life expectancy for ALS is 2-5 years. She was told her disease was rapidly progressing and to get her affairs in order. She did. And like a true athlete, she decided to do one final race before she died. She walks across the finish line with trekking poles, her husband, David Peet. And then she waited. And waited. Until one day, she got tired of waiting to die. She decided to live. At the five year anniversary of her ALS diagnosis, Andrea sets an ambitious goal: be the first person with ALS to complete a marathon in all 50 US states. What starts out as one woman’s individual quest towards 50 marathons evolves into a story of community. It is about the quieter moments between the races where Andrea brings hope and joy to the people around her who have experienced harder and harsher versions of ALS. Go On, Be Brave is a meditation on life – of how each one of us chooses to live. (Dir. by Miriam McSpadden and Brian Beckman, 2022, United States, English, 111 min., Not Rated)

12:45 PM : The Cassandra Cat

When a mysterious traveling circus rolls into a small Czech town, its magical feline mascot unleashes mayhem and ignites outright anarchy among the town’s unruly residents. Unbeknownst to most of the locals, this cat harbors a secret power: when his tiny glasses are removed, he carries the ability to reveal people’s hidden characters, by changing their color for all the world to see — violet for liars and hypocrites, yellow for cheaters, and red for those in love. At a circus performance attended by the entire town, acrobat Diana takes off the cat’s glasses, exposing soap-opera levels of dishonesty and infidelity within the community, and capturing sensitive teacher Robert’s heart in the process, as a delirious riot ensues. Part fairy tale and part social satire, Vojtech Jasný’s The Cassandra Cat is an early entry in the Czech New Wave. Mixing wild, hallucinatory trick photography – including lush cinematography by Jaroslav Kucera (Daisies) — with dizzying musical numbers, the film revels in fantasy, surrealism and magical realism. Endearing, genuinely whimsical, yet hiding a deep social message, the film was banned after the Prague Spring in 1968, sending director Jasný into exile. This sparkling new 4K restoration by the Czech National Archive and Janus Films brings this unique classic back to the big screen!

7:00 PM : Frybread Face and Me

Director Billy Luther’s wistfully funny debut spins the tender coming-of-age tale of 11-year-old Benny. Sent from his San Diego home to live with his grandmother on the Navajo reservation in the summer of 1990, he soon bonds with his cousin Dawn, AKA “Frybread Face.” Framed as a fond remembrance narrated by the adult Benny, the film depicts an initially rocky relationship that blossoms into friendship in a drama that lives at the inviting crossroads of American pop culture and Navajo tradition. Luther’s take on the familiar arc of a city kid uncovering his true heritage — complete with amusingly prickly family dynamics — thrives on low-key warmth. Produced by the visionary Taika Waititi, this genuine charmer and its affectionate insights slyly reminds us how important kin can be in a child’s self-discovery.

1:30 PM : The Cramps and The Mutants: The Napa State Tapes

On June 13, 1978, punk rock band The Cramps played a show at Napa State, a psychiatric hospital in the small town of Napa in northern California. Opening for them were The Mutants, an eclectic septet of art-school punks from nearby San Francisco.

1:45 PM : Coronado: The New Evidence

Coronado: The New Evidence explores one of the longest-standing archaeological mysteries in the United States – the land route taken by famed explorer Francisco Vazquez de Coronado, who from 1539-1542 was attempting to find vast wealth and fame while traveling north from Mexico. Through the work of Arizona-based archaeologist Dr. Deni Seymour, it is now known where Coronado’s expedition first crossed into what would later become the continental United States.

The filmmakers have exclusive access to the Coronado archaeological site where their cameras have been rolling for three years as Dr. Seymour unearthed hundreds of Coronado artifacts including a breathtaking 15th-century “wall gun” that is the earliest firearm found in the continental United States. This discovery has dire, catastrophic far-reaching implications—not only for US history—but for the Indigenous people, the Sobaipuri, and their descendants, the Wa:k O’odham, who first encountered Coronado. The Wa:k O’odham soberly and thoughtfully share their reaction and meaning of this breakthrough discovery. Coronado was not exempt from the well-known litany of crimes committed by white Europeans against American Indigenous peoples.

Dr. Seymour also discovered evidence at the site of a Sobaipuri revolt that predates the American Revolution, making it the first successful Native American revolt in what is now the U.S.. This single battle kept White explorers out of Arizona for another 150+ years. But perhaps the biggest discovery by Seymour is that this Coronado site is the first established Spanish colony in the Southwest and the third ever established in what is now the United States.

Ukrainian war correspondent Mstyslav Chernov (who directs, shoots, and narrates) and his colleagues are the only international correspondents left in the city, witnesses to the first sighting of a “Z” on a Russian tank (a declaration of war), random shelling, the bombing of a maternity hospital, the digging of mass graves, and Russia’s eventual encirclement of the city. Their images of war crimes would soon go viral,  exposing Russia’s monstrous lies that deny their targeting of Ukrainian civilians, and earning the AP team two 2023 Pulitzer Prizes: for Public Service Journalism and Breaking News Photography.  An act of bearing witness to the horrors still occurring one year later, this breathtaking documentary is a bold and brave document of the tragedies of war and tyrannical regimes. (Dir. by Mstyslav Chernov, 2023, Ukraine, in Ukrainian/Russian/English with English subtitles, 94 mins., Not Rated)

10:00 AM : The Delinquents

A delightfully unconventional heist picture unlike any other, The Delinquents upends genre expectations with a gently comic yet deftly constructed existentialist fable. Timid bank clerk Morán (Daniel Elías), fed up with his dead-end middle-management job, decides one day to simply walk into the vault, pack a bag with enough cash to cover his salary until retirement age, and saunter out. Knowing he has been inevitably caught on security camera, Morán plans on turning himself in, but not before passing the stash along to his coworker Román (Esteban Bigliardi), now an accomplice who agrees to hold onto the money until Morán gets out of prison. From this gripping premise, Argentinean writer/director Rodrigo Moreno takes viewers on an epic, multi-faceted journey where a bank robbery is just the beginning of an endlessly surprising tale that questions, with an appealingly amusing spirt, what it means to be truly free in a world driven by money.

4:15 PM : Chasing Chasing Amy

In Sav Rodgers’ debut feature film, he explores the unexamined legacy of Kevin Smith’s cult classic, Chasing Amy. His documentary is both a tribute to the movie that saved his life as a queer kid, coming of age in Kansas, and an exploration of its mixed reviews from the LGBTQ+ community. Through candid interviews with Smith and star Joey Lauren Adams, Sav discovers their journey of making their movie was far more difficult and emotional than anyone could have possibly known. CHASING CHASING AMY is a trans coming of age love story, set against the backdrop of an indie film that solidified some careers and damaged others. (Dir. by Sav Rodgers, 2023, United States, English, 95min, Not Rated)

10:00 PM : Robot Dreams

In this beautifully bittersweet, hand-drawn ode to friendship, a dog must find new meaning when misfortune separates him from his robot buddy. In an animated alternate-reality 1980s New York City, lonely but enterprising Dog decides to build himself a companion via mail order.   In no time, Dog and his new pal Robot become inseparable, strolling around Manhattan and rollerblading in Central Park to the tunes of Earth, Wind and Fire. But one day, an unforeseen incident sees Robot rusted and abandoned in the sand.  Will the pair find their way back to each other?  Spanish filmmaker Pablo Berger’s visionary animated gem, lovingly adapted from Sara Varon’s award-winning graphic novel, uses a meticulous 2D style to capture the buzz and color of the Big Apple and its many animal inhabitants. With its charmingly deadpan comedy, no dialogue and a forthright acceptance of how life can change in a second, Robot Dreams offers a heartfelt musing on friendship, loss and the timelessness of love.

The years of exploitation and resentment have built up, and they are ready to take their money – or the land. The only thing standing between them and Tereza is this impenetrable beast of a car.

4:30 PM : Mami Wata

In the waters off the coast of West Africa swims the powerful mermaid goddess, Mami Wata. Divining her whims and wishes falls to Mama Efe (Rita Edochie), a revered intermediary for the townspeople of Iyi. But when a young boy is lost to a virus, Efe’s devoted daughter Zinwe (Uzoamaka Aniunoh) and skeptical protégé Prisca (Evelyne Ily Juhen) warn Efe about unrest among the villagers. With the sudden arrival of a mysterious rebel deserter named Jasper (Emeka Amakeze), a conflict erupts, leading to a violent clash of ideologies and a crisis of faith for the people of lyi. Director C.J. ‘Fiery’ Obasi’s potent modern fable deploys vivid monochromatic black-and-white cinematography, rich sound design, and a hypnotic score in a folk-futurist style both earthy and otherworldly. Obasis depicts a pitched battle between opportunistic militants promising technological progress and a matriarchal spiritual order living in fragile harmony with the ocean. Mami Wata transports us to a place that seems both suspended in time and perhaps running out of time, as the threats of modern life wash up on its shores.

Dr. Dawn Demps: Assistant Professor of Higher Education and Educational Leadership, Theory & Policy in the University of Arizona College of Education.

This intergenerational panel will focus on their own experiences of girlhood and play involving dolls, racial identity formation and representation at the intersection of gender and socioeconomic status, and inclusion in terms of toys—specifically dolls and histories of childhood and play through the lenses of film, education, culture and knowledge.

Black Barbie is a personal exploration that tells a richly archival, thought-provoking story that gives voice to the insights and experiences of Beulah Mae Mitchell, the aunt of the Los Angeles-based filmmaker, who spent 45 years working at Mattel. Upon Mattel’s 1980 release of Black Barbie, the film turns to the intergenerational impact the doll had. Discussing how the absence of black images in the “social mirror” left Black girls with little other than White subjects for self-reflection and self-projection, Beulah Mae Mitchell and other Black women in the film talk about their own, complex, varied experience of not seeing themselves represented, and how Black Barbie’s transformative arrival affected them personally.

4:00 PM : Tombstone

Kurt Russell and Val Kilmer head down to Tombstone in this highly entertaining western about the legendary battle to deliver justice to a small Arizona town. Russell turns in a gripping performance as U.S. Marshall Wyatt Earp and Kilmer goes for broke with a memorable performance as the dying gunslinger Doc Holliday. Things begin with Earp trying to put his violent past behind him, living happily in Tombstone, AZ with his brothers and the woman (Dana Delany) who puts his soul at ease. But a murderous gang called the Cowboys has burst onto the scene to terrorize the town, and Earp realizes he can’t keep his gun belt off any longer, as the action irrevocably hurtles toward the infamous shootout at the OK Corral. Featuring an incredible, all-star supporting cast of tough guys including Sam Elliott, Bill Paxton, Michael Rooker, Powers Boothe, Michael Biehn and Charlton Heston, and sporting lush cinematography and a stirring music score, Tombstone is an explosive, slam-bang western that recalls the classics of the genre’s golden age and simultaneously offers a revisionist commentary from a modern perspective.

1:15 PM : Foe

In the year 2065, a married midwestern couple, Hen (Saoirse Ronan, Lady Bird) and Junior (Paul Mescal, Aftersun), live in Junior’s weather-beaten ancestral farmhouse. Their relationship seems to be on ground as unsolid as the expansive, desolate landscape that surrounds them, parched and mottled by decades of climate change. One night, a stranger (Aaron Pierre, Brother) arrives at their door with a surprising proposal, offering them the chance to change their own futures and perhaps alter the course of human existence. In this superbly rendered, sensationally acted science-fiction drama, adapted from the acclaimed novel by Iain Reid, director Garth Davis (Lion) brilliantly toys with viewers’ perceptions while interrogating essential questions of our time about environmental apocalypse and the rise of artificial intelligence, building in emotional intensity to a devastating climax.

10:00 AM : Bad Press

Angel Ellis is just trying to do her job. She’s a reporter for Mvskoke Media in Okmulgee, Oklahoma, and she wants to give her readers access to all the information relevant to the Muscogee (Creek) Nation. But that’s not an easy task, given that Angel and her colleagues believe in truth and transparency and aren’t afraid to challenge the integrity of some questionable tribal officials. Fast-forward to a confusing whirlwind of an emergency session at the National Council, where the 2015 Free Press Act is repealed, Mvskoke Media’s independent editorial board is dissolved, and the newspaper is placed under the direction of the Secretary of the Nation and Commerce. Now the real fight begins. (Dir. by Rebecca Landsberry-Baker and Joe Peeler, 2023, United States, English, Mvskoke with English subtitles, 98min., Not Rated)

10:15 AM : Monster

Oscar-nominated filmmaker Hirokazu Kore-eda (Shoplifters) returns with this deeply affecting and morally complex drama told through multiple perspectives. Quiet and reserved Minato (Soya Kurokawa) — no longer a kid, but not yet an adolescent — lost his father when he was a young child and lives with his mother (Sakura Ando). When he starts behaving strangely, obsessed with the idea his brain has been switched with a pig’s, his mother suspects his teacher Hori (Eita Nagayama) is somehow responsible and calls a meeting with the school principal (Tanaka Yuko), only to face a wall of silence and stiff apologies. Someone must have put that idea in Minato’s head, but something doesn’t add up. Is Minato telling the truth, or is his professor innocent? As the story unfolds through the eyes of mother, teacher and child in a Rashomon-inspired structure, the truth gradually emerges, a truth that may change the course of all their lives. (Dir.by Hirokazu Kore-eda, 2023, Japan, in Japanese with English subtitles, 126 mins., Rated PG-13)

7:00 PM : The Eternal Memory

This heart-wrenching yet humor-filled documentary from Oscar-nominated filmmaker Maite Alberdi (The Mole Agent) follows a Chilean couple facing a challenging future together.

Eight years ago, Augusto was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, and Paulina is now his full-time caregiver. As Augusto struggles to hold onto his identity, Paulina tenderly leads him through each day with laughter and grace. The couple face this challenge head-on, adapting to the disruptions brought on by the taxing disease while relying on the tender affection and sense of humor shared between them that remains intact. A masterful love story for the ages, Alberdi’s beautiful film is ultimately a stirring exploration of memory itself, both individual and collective, echoing Augusto’s role as a journalist in recording the truth of Pinochet’s dictatorship.

12:15 PM : I Like It Here

Wise, funny, and wistful, I Like it Here is nothing less than an appreciation of life itself. As he visits and talks with his children, grandchildren, and lively friends old and new, filmmaker Ralph Arlyck approaches the subject of aging in both serious and humorous ways. Laughing and talking about the unstoppable, often irritating qualities of getting old, Arlyck and his interview subjects also find time to reflect on the reality of dying or being left alone. A running theme among the older interviewees is the lightness that has come after realizing that the rat race to be “successful” is no longer so crucial. A veteran documentarian with more than 50 years of filmmaking experience, Arlyck has a distinctly personal and uniquely essayistic style that meditates on the progression of time by contrasting older footage with new to poignant effect, as in his brilliant 2005 movie, Following Sean. Though it discusses the challenges of feeling your joints and thoughts stiffen, and the many obstacles that loom up in front of anyone who is on the last lap, I Like it Here is not about sadness or regret. Arlyck’s reckoning with the reality we all must eventually face is decidedly life-affirming. He likes it here! (Dir. by Ralph Arlyck, 2022, United States, English, 88min., Not Rated)

The party will be followed at 7:30PM by the Closing Night Film Perfect Days, the latest from legendary director Wim Wenders, which is Japan’s entry for Best International Film Oscar and winner of two awards at this year’s Cannes Film Festival!

Japan’s official Academy Award submission for Best International Feature Film!

Winner!  Best Actor (Koji Yakusho) and Prize of the Ecumenical Jury, Cannes Film Festival 2023

After several years away from the silver screen, acclaimed filmmaker Wim Wenders (Wings of Desire; Paris, Texas) returns with a poignant character study and a deeply moving, poetic reflection on finding magnificence in the everyday world around us. In Perfect Days, the incomparable Koji Yakusho (Babel) stars as the taciturn, good-natured Hirayama, who goes about his solitary hours working as a public toilet cleaner in Tokyo, while his favorite rock music from Lou Reed, Patti Smith or The Rolling Stones hums from his trusty tape player. Interacting on his rounds with a variety of city denizens whose eccentricities put his gentle nature into even more delightful relief, the middle-aged Hirayama becomes the quiet hero of his own story, doing his menial work without complaint, bemused yet often enchanted at the younger folk orbiting him, and delighted by the natural wonders poking out from the corners of the always changing cityscape. Hirayama is a creature very much of the present, devoted to a daily routine that is nearly monastic—until it is disrupted by someone from his past. Working in concert with Wenders’s documentarian eye, Koji Yakusho makes his character’s every movement magnetic.
