When ICE Melts is about the heroic resistance to Operation Metro Surge by the people of Minnesota.

This feature-length documentary includes interviews with organizers and community leaders involved in the resistance to ICE in the Twin Cities and firsthand footage of the resistance in the streets and the January 23 mass strike, showing the enormous power of the working class.

When ICE Melts examines how ordinary people organized across neighborhoods, workplaces, unions, and communities to resist repression and build collective power. It draws out strategic lessons from those experiences, including the decisive role of the January 23 mass strike in defeating ICE.

Designed for community organizations, unions, classrooms, and activists, When ICE Melts explores what it takes to build the relationships, democratic structures, and solidarity necessary to confront rising authoritarianism. Rather than simply documenting a historic moment, the film serves as a resource for people in other cities who are preparing to organize, strengthen their communities, and join a growing movement for collective action against authoritarianism.

APAture is an annual, month-long multidisciplinary arts festival that showcases emerging Asian American and Pacific Islander artists to an audience of nearly 1,000 in venues throughout San Francisco. It draws diverse attendees from across the Bay Area, offering critical platforms for Asian American and Pacific Islander art that uplifts those communities and, in today’s political environment, contributes necessary voices to arts & culture. The receptions are free, while all other showcases are affordably priced.

APAture is in its 27th year of supporting emerging artists from across the Bay Area! From October 17th to December 12th, we’ll be presenting three showcases in Visual, Literary, and Film arts.

This year’s theme is GENERATION. At this pivotal moment for APAture, we turn our focus toward what we inherit, what we cultivate, and what we pass on. GENERATION asks us to seed growth for the future health of our communities while honoring the artistic lineages that have brought us to this moment. As we consider what the next generation of artists will hold and shape, we also recognize our role in tending the conditions that allow them to thrive. With the health of our communities in mind, we celebrate creative inheritance as an active, collective practice—one that bridges past, present, and future through art. We invite artists to reflect on GENERATION in all its meanings: a place of ancestry, mentorship, responsibility, and renewal.

Co-presented by Center for Asian American Media and Hawaiʻi Chamber of Commerce of Northern California. Sponsored by New Moon Massage.

MUST END OCTOBER 27!

Presented by FiliKula

Amid stifling heat and pervasive drought, Isabel (Jorrybell Agoto), a 17-year-old Ilokana from the rural north, works at a posh country club outside Manila, lining up golf balls for powerful men to drive into the verdant horizon. New to the job, she wanders the immaculate grounds sampling its luxuries as members, including an industrialist and his expatriate niece, the club president and his pampered wife, and a slew of Chinese tourists, engage in a complex dance with the club’s doting and subservient staff. But something is rotting beneath the pristine fairways of the elite resort, as Isabel discovers when she tries to return a mislaid golf club to its patriarchal director, Dr. Palanca (Teroy Guzman). The deeper she journeys into its most exclusive corners, the closer she gets to the violent truths of the club, her native Philippines, and her own past..

“A masterwork…with Filipiñana, Manuel opens new vistas in the future of the cinema.” – The New Yorker

“An invigorating dose of arch formalism in a sea of mainstream sincerity, this is the kind of movie that asks for the viewer’s attention…the angle of a golf club can evoke suspense, a piece of fruit on the ground can feel like a tragedy, and a casual glance can take your breath away.” – Vulture

With Live Drag by Mary Vice!

WELCOME TO THE WITCHING HOUR.

After transferring to a Los Angeles high school, Sarah (Robin Tunney) finds that her telekinetic gift appeals to a group of three wannabe witches, who happen to be seeking a fourth member for their rituals. Bonnie (Neve Campbell), Rochelle (Rachel True) and Nancy (Fairuza Balk), like Sarah herself, all have troubled backgrounds, which combined with their nascent powers lead to dangerous consequences. When a minor spell causes a fellow student to lose her hair, the girls grow power-mad.

Happy Hour at Dalva at 8pm!

Follows filmmaker Eleanor Coppola's behind-the-scenes documentation of her daughter Sofia Coppola directing the 2006 film Marie Antoinette, capturing the craftsmanship and challenges of being a young female director.

Polarizing upon its release, Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette is now, 20 years later, widely embraced as a 21st-century cinematic cornerstone and a distilled expression of its director’s recurring themes of celebrity, wealth, and isolation. For the first time, Coppola’s dynamic craftsmanship in creating her personal vision for the brief life of the 18th-century queen (Kirsten Dunst) in the years leading up to the French Revolution is on full display in this diary shot by her mother, filmmaker Eleanor Coppola, on the film’s set in Versailles in 2005.

From almost 80 hours of video, Eleanor began to assemble the footage during the pandemic lockdown, and Sofia helped finish editing it after Eleanor’s death in 2024. Narrated by Diane Lane, reciting Eleanor’s journals from the time, this is a rare behind-the-scenes glimpse that is both process-oriented and touchingly personal

“Making Marie Antoinette is considerably more than meets the eye... [It is] a circular and tenderly meta-textual film unto itself — one about two generations of women paying tribute to each other across space and time, seeding each other with the strength required to be seen in a world that would sooner flatten them into the wallpaper." - David Ehrlich, IndieWire

Sophia Coppola's newly remastered Marie Antoinette screens at the Roxie on Friday, October 23 & Wednesday, October 28.

Marking its 10th anniversary, Jonás Cuarón’s DESIERTO is a tense border thriller with the stripped-down intensity of survival horror. When a group of migrants crossing the U.S.-Mexico border is hunted through the desert by an armed vigilante, the journey becomes a brutal fight for survival. Starring Gael García Bernal and Jeffrey Dean Morgan.

Audience members can also add a $5 or $10 donation to La Raza Centro Legal when purchasing tickets, supporting their work with immigrant communities in the Bay Area.

The third feature film from Oscar-winning writer-director Sofia Coppola (Lost in Translation, 2003) transposes her fascination with the inner lives of young women to 18th century Versailles with this semi-biographical story of Marie Antoinette, Queen of France from 1774 to 1793. Inspired by her favorite period dramas and biopics, including Ken Russell’s Lisztomania (1975) and Milos Forman’s Amadeus (1984), Coppola gained extraordinary access to shoot at the Palace at Versailles, and her attention to production design and costuming details cushion her characters in lavish, insulated surroundings—and garnered the film’s costume designer Milena Canonero her third Oscar win.

Punctuated with anachronistic postpunk and new wave music, Coppola’s refreshing take on a centuries-old history brings the woes of the past into... sharp comparison with present-day concerns of girls, teens, and young women for a deeply felt and beautifully rendered cinematic achievement.

Eleanor Coppola’s Making Marie Antoinette screens at the Roxie on Saturday, October 24, Wednesday, October 28, & Thursday, October 29.

Marie Antoinette was restored in 4K by Sony Pictures Entertainment in collaboration with American Zoetrope.

In secret conversations on the rooftops of Tel Aviv at night, the systems behind Israel’s calculated mass killing of Palestinian civilians in Gaza are revealed by the people who designed and operated them.

Directors Note:

We made this film out of a sense of obligation to use our position as Israeli filmmakers and journalists to examine the systems behind the mass killing of Palestinian civilians for which our country is responsible. While filming members of Israel’s military on rooftops at night in Tel Aviv over the past three years, we found ourselves asking the very questions that were asked by our grandparents’ generation and throughout the 20th century: how does one group of people allow the total dehumanisation of another?

What do the inner workings of such a system look like? Many of the revelations in the film were published almost immediately as we learned of them, in the months following the October 7th attacks, by The Guardian (one of NAZA’s producers), in collaboration with reporting partners +972 Magazine and Local Call. The film lets us explore something deeper than we could in our investigative journalism alone: not only the words being said but also those that are not said, the silence. It is up to all of us to break that silence.

This screening will take place at NEW PEOPLE CINEMA, located at 1746 Post Street in Japantown.

Followed by a post-screening Q&A with Co-Director Eric Daniel Metzgar

THE GREAT EXPERIMENT is an epic poem in documentary form—a mirror held to an American nation at war with its own reflection, asking not who is right, but whether the experiment itself can survive.

Filmed in striking black and white across the US over four consequential years, from 2017 to 2021, the film considers the results of what George Washington once called "our last great experiment" in democracy.

The approach is spatial and observational—less interested in the ideological binary of left and right than in the vast, complicated country that exists at the intersection of many kinds of American experience.

Much as Robert Frank traveled the U.S. in the mid-1950s—bearing witness yet refusing to editorialize in his seminal photographic anthology of America—the film weaves these lives together not to resolve their contradictions, but to hold them in the same frame long enough for something surprising to emerge.

One of the great international art-house sensations of the 1960s, Hiroshi Teshigahara’s WOMAN IN THE DUNES remains a hypnotic, unsettling vision of desire, captivity, and endless labor. Eiji Okada stars as an amateur entomologist who misses his bus home after a day collecting insects in a remote stretch of dunes and is persuaded to spend the night with a young widow, played by Kyoko Kishida, who lives at the bottom of a vast sand pit.

By morning, escape is no longer so simple. Forced into the relentless work of shoveling back the encroaching sand, the two become locked in an increasingly intimate struggle over freedom, obligation, survival, and desire. Sensual, surreal, and nightmarishly repetitive, WOMAN IN THE DUNES transforms everyday labor into something elemental and inescapable.

How to describe Nobuhiko Obayashi’s indescribable 1977 movie Hausu? As a psychedelic ghost tale? A stream-of-consciousness bedtime story? An episode of Scooby-Doo as directed by Mario Bava? Any of the above will do for this hallucinatory head trip about a schoolgirl who travels with six classmates to her ailing aunt’s creaky country home and comes face-to-face with evil spirits, a demonic house cat, a bloodthirsty piano, and other ghoulish visions, all realized by Obayashi via mattes, animation, and collage effects.

Equally absurd and nightmarish, Hausu might have been beamed to Earth from some other planet. Never before available on home video in the United States, it’s one of the most exciting cult discoveries in years.

This screening is part of our Beautiful Nightmares series

In 1994 a group of filmmakers head out into the woods of Burkittsville, MD in search of the folk legend of the Blair Witch never to be seen again. Years later, their footage is recovered and within the circumstances of their disappearance. A worldwide phenomenon upon its original release and ushering in an era of found footage films, THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT blurred the line between what is reality and fiction with a brilliant cinema verite style that had audiences questioning it to the final shocking frame.

Recorded introduction by Executive Producer Meryl Streep

A group of young journalists deemed “foreign agents” flee Moscow on a moment’s notice when Putin shuts down all independent media, part of a historic exodus of Russians opposed to the war. In her riveting follow-up to MY UNDESIRABLE FRIENDS: PART I — LAST AIR IN MOSCOW, which swept critics’ awards last year, Julia Loktev tracks these courageous, sharply funny women (and a few men) across a dozen countries, to Istanbul, Tbilisi, Prague, Vienna, Amsterdam, New York… Over four years, they struggle to find a sense of place in exile as they report the truth to Russians on their country’s war crimes, even as they face death threats and are declared Extremists and Terrorists. They keep working for the uncertain future of a country they may not return to for decades, while figuring out what family, friendship, love and home mean when you can’t go home. (You can watch EXILE without seeing LAST AIR IN MOSCOW).

“An Essential Chronicle of Reporters Under Fire… this epic study of persecution and resistance…" --The Hollywood Reporter

GRIPPING FROM START TO FINISH.”
– Sam Adams, Slate

CRITIC’S PICK. “Gripping... Expect to find yourself riveted... Grand in scale but entirely intimate in scope, what she’s achieved here is a landmark work that will go down as one of the boldest documentary achievements of the 21st century.”
– Ryan Lattanzio, IndieWire

“A riveting and vital portrait of media courage under fire. It’s as must-see as they get.”
– Nick Schager, Daily Beast

CRITIC’S PICK. “Essential. Riveting.”
– Alissa Wilkinson, The New York Times

“Monumental... It’s great cinema.”
– Bilge Ebiri, New York Magazine/Vulture

“The follow-up to 2024’s LAST AIR IN MOSCOW proves every bit as compelling, if more intimate... EXILE deepens the viewer’s connection to Loktev’s journalists while introducing engaging new subjects... Funny, resilient, and vibrant, Loktev’s subjects have lost their home but not their defiant spirit.”
– Tim Grierson, Screen

“RIVETING. A globetrotting journey that proves harrowing in unexpected ways over an engrossing five chapters... Loktev and co-editor Michael Taylor have crafted a conversational epic that imbues each twist and turn with enormous stakes... Speaking truth to power with the online tools at their disposal, this murderer’s row consists of lively, awkward, driven, beautiful, lovestruck, and above-all complicated people, all caught in impossible personal and professional deadlocks and weighed down by immigrant uncertainty.”
– Siddhant Adlakha, Variety

“STAGGERING. GRIPPING. [A] massive monument to journalism, competing in length and ambition with legendary feats of nonfiction like SHOAH and the UP series... a celebration of truth in an endless fight against deception.”
– Jacob Oller, AV Club

“An essential chronicle of reporters under fire... Loktev, who shot the entire 12-hour doc herself, turns each reporter into the character of a real-life series unfolding before our eyes as the years go by and the war inevitably drags on... [she] creates an intimacy that goes beyond the international crises and political upheavals to focus on the human costs of an unending conflict.”
– Jordan Mintzer, The Hollywood Reporter

“CHILLING. The film’s final chapter has the charge of an espionage thriller.”
– Marshall Shaffer, Slant

“BRILLIANT. Keeping us on the edge of our seats for 6 hours. A moving tribute to the necessity of resistance.”
– Boris Bastide, Le Monde

The crew of the commercial towing ship Nostromo is heading home with 20 million tons of mineral ore when a mysterious transmission pulls them off course. What begins as another job quickly becomes a fight for survival after an unknown organism makes its way aboard. Ridley Scott’s landmark sci-fi horror turns deep space into a grim industrial workplace, where contracts, corporate orders, and an expendable crew prove nearly as threatening as the creature stalking the corridors.

At its center is Sigourney Weaver’s Ripley, a worker who keeps following procedure long after everyone around her has stopped listening.

Dance Thrill Fest VI is the 6th iteration of an annual dance film festival curated by REYES Dance featuring short dance film works by bay area artists exploring themes of horror, thrill, comedy and everything in between. This year’s festival features works by Ale Preciado; Amit Patel and Ishika Seth; Clarissa Dyas; Cauveri Suresh; Ja’Moon Jones; Jess Bozzo; Kevin Lopez; Kirsten Millan; Fuchsia; Lily Gee; Megan Lowe; and Yayoi Kambara. Churro Nomi will be hosting, treats will be passed out to enjoy during the screening and audience members are encouraged to come dressed in their halloween costume.

This movie feels like it was dreamed into existence. When a girl named Sayuri is reunited with her family after years in an orphanage, she's plagued with phantasmagorical visions involving a fanged demon, wild monsters, and murder by snakes. And it only gets weirder from there. Directed by Noriaki Yuasa (the co-creator of the GAMERA series) and adapted from the work of manga pioneer Kazuo Umezu, THE SNAKE GIRL AND THE SILVER-HAIRED WITCH is a stylish, theremin-fueled gothic nightmare that's easily the most traumatizing movie ever aimed at a kids audience. Salvador Dali would be proud.

Adapted from Barry Gifford’s novel, David Lynch’s Palme d’Or-winning Wild at Heart sends Sailor and Lula—Nicolas Cage and Laura Dern—tearing across the American South in a delirious lovers-on-the-run romance fueled by Elvis, The Wizard of Oz, sex, violence, and pure outlaw conviction.

Their escape from Lula’s violently possessive mother (Diane Ladd) leads through a landscape of hit men, roadside grotesques, heavy metal, seedy motels, and sudden bursts of nightmare. Along the way they cross paths with Harry Dean Stanton, Isabella Rossellini, and Willem Dafoe as the unforgettable Bobby Peru.

At once tender, lurid, funny, and unhinged, Wild at Heart is one of the clearest cinematic expressions of Gifford’s world: doomed lovers, dangerous drifters, criminal underworlds, and a distinctly American dream curdling at the edges.

Followed by a post-screening Q&A with director Habiba Nosheen moderated by Jenni Olson.

In a place where girls and sport rarely mix, THE GYMNASTS OF FISHERMAN COLONY is a coming-of-age documentary where joy, ambition, and quiet rebellion take root as three teenage girls carve out space for themselves, one somersault at a time.

THE GYMNASTS OF FISHERMAN COLONY is an intimate coming-of-age documentary by 3X Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Habiba Nosheen that follows three teenage girls in Pakistan, offering a rare and tender portrait of girlhood, joy, and play told through the eyes of young Pakistani girls navigating the margins of society.

At its core, THE GYMNASTS OF FISHERMAN COLONY is a story of hope and quiet defiance. Through the intimate journeys of three teenagers we witness as their passion for gymnastics begins to clash with deeply rooted expectations around what girls can and cannot do. The film follows their journey as they find themselves straddling two polar opposite worlds as they push to make space for themselves through gymnastics. The result is a lyrical and deeply human portrait of three young girls from a corner of the world we rarely see on screen.

These are girls who dare to dream.

What do the inner workings of such a system look like? Many of the revelations in the film were published almost immediately as we learned of them, in the months following the October 7th attacks, by The Guardian (one of NAZA’s producers), in collaboration with reporting partners +972 Magazine and Local Call. The film lets us explore something deeper than we could in our investigative journalism alone: not only the words being said but also those that are not said, the silence. It is up to all of us to break that silence.

From two-time Palme d’Or winner Cristian Mungiu, a Norwegian woman and her devout
Romanian husband relocate with their five children to a remote, close-knit, coastal town. Their
teenage children form a fast bond with a neighboring family as unease begins to simmer around
their rigid beliefs. When allegations of abuse emerge, they are forced to confront a system of
judgment that blurs the line between concern and prejudice.

The crew of the commercial towing ship Nostromo is heading home with 20 million tons of mineral ore when a mysterious transmission pulls them off course. What begins as another job quickly becomes a fight for survival after an unknown organism makes its way aboard. Ridley Scott’s landmark sci-fi horror turns deep space into a grim industrial workplace, where contracts, corporate orders, and an expendable crew prove nearly as threatening as the creature stalking the corridors.

At its center is Sigourney Weaver’s Ripley, a worker who keeps following procedure long after everyone around her has stopped listening.

Part of Her Work is Never Done.

This screening will take place at NEW PEOPLE CINEMA, located at 1746 Post Street in Japantown.

Arguably the chef d’oeuvre in the anime icon’s blemish-free filmography, Paprika was Kon Satoshi’s fourth and final feature before his untimely death in 2010. An absolute dazzler of unbridled imagination and bravura animation, the Venice-played picture saw Kon get back on Perfect Blue​’s warped wavelength to tell another mind-scrambling whodunnit that muddles fantasy and reality. The sci-fi story, set in a near-future world, pivots on a psychiatric breakthrough: the invention of a device that allows a therapist to enter a patient’s dream and root out trauma. When the technology is stolen—its misuse, dangerous if not deadly—Dr. Chiba Atsuko assumes her sleep-state alter ego to hunt down the malefactor across dreams. Kon’s swansong is based on a novel by Tsutsui Yasutaka (whose Girl Who Leapt Through Time was also adapted for anime) and features character design by Miyazaki collaborator Ando Masashi. Christopher Nolan’s Inception cribs much from the film.

Presented in 35mm in its original theatrical version, George Lucas’s THX 1138 imagines a sterile underground future where citizens are drugged into compliance, emotion is suppressed, and individuality itself is treated as a threat. Robert Duvall stars as THX, a worker who stops taking his state-mandated medication and begins to awaken to desire, fear, and the possibility of escape. Shot throughout the Bay Area, including San Francisco, Oakland, the still-under-construction BART tunnels, and the Caldecott Tunnel, Lucas’s stark debut turns familiar local architecture into an eerily convincing future.

Part of The Future According to Syd Mead, presented in conjunction with Syd Mead: Future Pastime, on view October 8 through December 17, 2026 at San Francisco’s Transamerica Pyramid Annex Gallery.

The third feature film from Oscar-winning writer-director Sofia Coppola (Lost in Translation, 2003) transposes her fascination with the inner lives of young women to 18th century Versailles with this semi-biographical story of Marie Antoinette, Queen of France from 1774 to 1793. Inspired by her favorite period dramas and biopics, including Ken Russell’s Lisztomania (1975) and Milos Forman’s Amadeus (1984), Coppola gained extraordinary access to shoot at the Palace at Versailles, and her attention to production design and costuming details cushion her characters in lavish, insulated surroundings—and garnered the film’s costume designer Milena Canonero her third Oscar win.

Punctuated with anachronistic postpunk and new wave music, Coppola’s refreshing take on a centuries-old history brings the woes of the past into... sharp comparison with present-day concerns of girls, teens, and young women for a deeply felt and beautifully rendered cinematic achievement.

Eleanor Coppola’s Making Marie Antoinette screens at the Roxie on Saturday, October 24, Wednesday, October 28, & Thursday, October 29.

Marie Antoinette was restored in 4K by Sony Pictures Entertainment in collaboration with American Zoetrope.

Ainara is seventeen, brilliant, and expected to choose a university degree. Instead, she makes a choice no one saw coming: she feels called to God and is considering life as a cloistered nun. Her announcement stuns her family, opens a deep rift between them, and forces each of them to question what they believe and what they want for her.

“This is a snakeskin jacket. And for me it’s a symbol of my individuality and my belief in personal freedom.”

Adapted from Barry Gifford’s novel, David Lynch’s Palme d’Or-winning Wild at Heart sends Sailor and Lula—Nicolas Cage and Laura Dern—tearing across the American South in a delirious lovers-on-the-run romance fueled by Elvis, The Wizard of Oz, sex, violence, and pure outlaw conviction.

Their escape from Lula’s violently possessive mother (Diane Ladd) leads through a landscape of hit men, roadside grotesques, heavy metal, seedy motels, and sudden bursts of nightmare. Along the way they cross paths with Harry Dean Stanton, Isabella Rossellini, and Willem Dafoe as the unforgettable Bobby Peru.

At once tender, lurid, funny, and unhinged, Wild at Heart is one of the clearest cinematic expressions of Gifford’s world: doomed lovers, dangerous drifters, criminal underworlds, and a distinctly American dream curdling at the edges.

While so many effects-driven visions of the future have faded with time, Blade Runner remains a template for imagining the neon-soaked city to come, as influential in its way as Fritz Lang’s Metropolis. Adapting Philip K. Dick’s novel into the gold standard of sci-fi noir, Ridley Scott shares much of the film’s visual legacy with “visual futurist” Syd Mead, whose design concepts helped define its unforgettable world, and with Vangelis’s atmospheric synth score.

At 5:35 p.m. on September 3, 1988. Dallas weatherman Ray "Can You Say Sunshine" Davino makes passing reference to Public Access Afterworld during a rambling monologue, right before he puts a gun to his head on live television and pulls the trigger. 

On June 12, 2009. David Sawyer and Erin Morrison, two lonely, TV-obsessed suburban teens who might be falling in love, gather in Erin's basement to watch TV's analog-to-digital transition. But in the static that follows, Erin witnesses surreal broadcasts from a pirate TV network called Public Access Afterworld, and their lives are changed forever.

Spanning decades and realities, with an unforgettable ensemble of outcasts and nerds-especially the messy but wholly relatable Bethany, who must overcome paranoia and self-doubt to transform into a hero of our times-Public Access Afterworld will have you reading through the night and rooting for its characters to survive. A mesmerizing mash-up of speculative fiction, horror, and conspiracy, it marks the arrival of a major new force in contemporary fiction by a groundbreaking filmmaker who's been compared to David Lynch and Paul Thomas Anderson.

About I Saw the TV Glow

Teenager Owen is just trying to make it through life in the suburbs when his classmate introduces him to a mysterious late-night TV show—a vision of a supernatural world beneath their own. As the two become increasingly consumed by the show, Owen’s sense of reality and identity begins to crack.

Written and directed by Jane Schoenbrun, I Saw the TV Glow is a haunting coming-of-age story about identity, isolation, fandom, and the strange power of the media that shapes us. Blending psychological horror with the hazy nostalgia of late-night television, the film explores the porous boundaries between the worlds we watch and the lives we inhabit.

Q&A with Director Augusto Zegarra, Protagonist Fernando Valencia, and Producer Paloma Iturriaga after the screening!

“The film is a love letter to a language, and to the culture woven into and defined by that language.” – Daniel Alarcón, The New Yorker

Fernando Valencia, a 29-year-old voice artist from Cusco, Peru, is an Indigenous activist, painter, and devoted single father. Known for his uncanny ability to voice multiple characters, he launched Quechua Clips—a viral project that reimagines iconic animated scenes in Quechua, the ancestral language of the Incas, also known as Runa Simi. The response was overwhelming: millions of Quechua speakers hungry for stories in their own language.

Fueled by this groundswell of support, Fernando sets his sights on an ambitious and quixotic dream—to dub Disney’s 1994 classic The Lion King into Quechua, with the help of his spirited eight-year-old son, Dylan. Armed with a homemade studio and relentless resolve, Fernando navigates countless ups and downs, facing rejection, setbacks, and self-doubt. Yet through it all, his determination never wavers, turning his personal mission into a powerful call for language justice and cultural reclamation.

Following the finale of his TV show, filmmaker John Wilson searches for a new creative outlet. After attending a workshop on how to write and sell a Hallmark movie, he attempts to apply the same formula to a documentary about concrete.

They wouldn’t take Judy Heumann’s phone calls, so she took their building. In 1977, a young disabled woman (Ruth Madeley) and a scrappy coalition of outsiders decide they’ve had enough. What begins as one impulsive act becomes the longest occupation of a federal building in American history, as hundreds spontaneously seize government offices and refuse to leave until the bureaucrat in their way (Mark Ruffalo) takes action. Bringing rebellion in all its forms to the hallowed halls, a movement’s accidental leaders struggle to find their path forward where none has ever been paved for them. Directed by Academy Award winner Siân Heder (“CODA”) and based on true events, “Being Heumann” is the revolutionary, irreverent and deeply human story of the least likely people trying to pull off the impossible and change the lives of millions.

Being Heumann also plays at the Roxie on November 12

A decade after his death, genre-defying filmmaker William Greaves has one last trick up his sleeve with what he considered the most important event he captured on film: a 1972 party he engineered with the living luminaries of the Harlem Renaissance. For four hours, this extraordinary group – many of whom had not seen each other in fifty years – reminisced, critiqued, argued, laughed and drank while wrestling with their place in a rapidly shifting cultural landscape.

Shot on 16mm film, newly restored and now directed by Greaves’ son David, this landmark film is at once a self-exploration and an inquiry into the heart of the critical mass of energy called the Harlem Renaissance. William Greaves’ intent was not only to document these artists and intellectuals as they spoke about their lives and work but also to plumb the meaning of the extraordinary creative period in which they lived to help us better understand how culture has been passed on from one generation to another and the role that the artist plays in keeping it alive.

"The film is rich with inspiring sections, from its discussion of the importance of women to the Renaissance...to moments when you feel the valiant souls of those we're watching." - John Powers, NPR

FATHERLAND centres on the relationship between the Nobel Prize-winning writer Thomas Mann (Hanns Zischler) and his daughter Erika (Sandra Hüller) - actress, writer and rally driver. In the summer of 1949, at the height of the Cold War, father and daughter embark on a challenging and emotional road trip in a black Buick taking them across a Germany in ruins - from US dominated Frankfurt to Soviet controlled Weimar. Returning home after sixteen years of exile in the US, Thomas Mann has to face not only a divided fatherland, but also a deep fracture within his own family.

With FATHERLAND, director Paweł Pawlikowski picks up where he left off with his award-winning IDA and COLD WAR, exploring – in his elliptic, distilled style - the themes of identity, family, love and guilt amid the turmoil and confusion of post-war Europe.

Part of the COLOMBIA ON FILM: bajo el velo de la ficción (under the veil of fiction) series.

Haunted by an iconic photograph from Colombia’s violent past, a man displaced from his hometown embarks on an imagined return where memory, ghosts, and cinema itself become tools to confront collective trauma.

Neither Souls nor Eyes reinterprets one of the most iconic images of Colombia's violent history: a single photograph that inaugurated a vast repertory of disturbingly violent images, painfully tattooed and stitched to the subconscious of millions of Colombians. Through imagined dialogues, Pacho breathes new life to this image as he confronts the gaze of the ghosts of his past. In his imaginary return to his hometown, the photograph transforms into a living territory, where imagination itself becomes an act of resistance and healing against the collective trauma of a country whose history of violence has been imprinted, time and again, onto a single picture.

Pacho vive lejos de su pueblo de infancia, del que se vio obligado a huir hace medio siglo. Una mañana, encuentra una vieja fotografía que lo arrastra a un viaje imaginario de regreso a su tierra natal. A través de la memoria, el grano fílmico y universos llenos de estrellas, Pacho inicia un retorno interior, en el que deambula por las calles desiertas de su pueblo. Allí, rostros del pasado emergen de las sombras para confrontarlo con la violencia que marcó su vida.

"Las almas ni los ojos” reimagina una de las primeras fotografías de la violencia moderna en Colombia, transformándola en un territorio vivo donde la imaginación se convierte en un acto de resistencia, sanación y confrontación con el trauma colectivo.

All listed screenings take place at NEW PEOPLE CINEMA, located at 1746 Post Street in Japantown.

Followed by a post-screening Q&A with Protagonist Ksenia Mironova.

A group of young journalists deemed “foreign agents” flee Moscow on a moment’s notice when Putin shuts down all independent media, part of a historic exodus of Russians opposed to the war. In her riveting follow-up to MY UNDESIRABLE FRIENDS: PART I — LAST AIR IN MOSCOW, which swept critics’ awards last year, Julia Loktev tracks these courageous, sharply funny women (and a few men) across a dozen countries, to Istanbul, Tbilisi, Prague, Vienna, Amsterdam, New York… Over four years, they struggle to find a sense of place in exile as they report the truth to Russians on their country’s war crimes, even as they face death threats and are declared Extremists and Terrorists. They keep working for the uncertain future of a country they may not return to for decades, while figuring out what family, friendship, love and home mean when you can’t go home. (You can watch EXILE without seeing LAST AIR IN MOSCOW).

Winner of the Best First Feature - 2020 Berlin Film Festival

The lead protagonist of a film disappears mid production, and his family and crew search for him before tragic news reaches them. Wajda’s first film where he received sole screenwriting credit, this deeply personal homage to his beloved actor Zbigniew Cybulski, the star of Ashes and Diamonds, is also a scathing portrait of the film industry.

The film-within-a-film mirrors the real life tragedy, with actors channeling their real life experiences into their performances. Weaving together autobiography and fiction, Wajda questions what it means to be an artist and how we mourn by creating legends as a way to interpret the past. A deeply personal homage that mirrors the tragic death of iconic actor Zbigniew Cybulski, the “Polish James Dean.”

Screenings of Andrzej Wajda’s films in the USA in 2026 are part of the ‘Wajda 100 Tour – North America’ project, organized by DI Factory with the financial support of the Polish Film Institute.

Sam Wants Her Sweater Back (15min)

Andi, recently dumped herself (but why even bring that up?), won’t stand for it! So, in Andi’s mind the world becomes a gritty, neon laced action-thriller as they infiltrate Poppy’s house party in search of The Sweater. As the night unfolds and multiple plans unravel it becomes clear Andi’s vehemence has little to do with her friend’s knitwear and all to do with hiding from her own heartbreak.

3 Hearts of Iron (13:25min)
Ariel del Sol, Costa Rica, 2026

Schuyler Bailar, Chella Man, and Cal Calamia come together through friendship and solidarity to take on an Ironman, claiming, (and fully enjoying) their place in a world of sport where trans bodies are increasingly questioned, politicized, and pushed out.

At a time when public visibility can make trans people both targets and symbols, simply showing up becomes a statement. But 3 Hearts of Iron is not a story about proving their humanity through suffering. Surrounded by a fierce and loving community, Schuyler, Chella, and Cal move through the race with joy, interdependence, determination, and extraordinary athleticism.

Together, they offer a different image of trans life in sport: not one defined by debate or exclusion, but by friendship, excellence, and belonging. In doing so, they show that trans people do more than belong in sports: they have the power to transform and expand what sports can be.

Part of our series Wild, Weird, Wicked: Films From Before the Code!

Directed by the illustrious William Wyler (The Good Fairy, The Big Country, Ben-Hur), the briskly paced Counsellor at Law is often cited as the best film to ever tackle the intricacies and pitfalls of the legal profession. George Simon (Hollywood legend John Barrymore, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde) is a successful attorney, climbing from a Jewish ghetto to elegant Art Deco offices in the Empire State Building. After allowing one of his former clients to commit perjury to win a case, George realizes he could be disbarred. Flavored with social commentary and wry humor, and featuring a luminous performance by the great Bebe Daniels as George's secretary Regina, Counsellor at Law is an exceptional example of the hard-boiled dramas that defined the Pre-Code cinema of the early 1930s.

Ainara is seventeen, brilliant, and expected to choose a university degree. Instead, she makes a choice no one saw coming: she feels called to God and is considering life as a cloistered nun. Her announcement stuns her family, opens a deep rift between them, and forces each of them to question what they believe and what they want for her.

Winner of the Golden Shell at San Sebastián and the Goya for Best Film.

Where its predecessor was a slow-burn suspenser, Cameron’s ALIENS is a bombastic, no-holds-barred exosuit fight to the finish, an express elevator to hell, goin’ down! Lone survivor Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) goes back for a rematch with the creatures who slaughtered the crew of the Nostromo, this time bringing along a squad of hard-boiled space marines whose number includes the great Bill Paxton, Jenette Goldstein, and Lance Henriksen’s mumblety-peg-playing android Bishop. Rounding out the superb supporting players are the aliens themselves, pinnacles of pre-CGI visual effects that just keep coming, and coming, and coming, and coming… while Mead’s contributions can mostly be seen in the blade-like military vessel Sulaco and the unforgettable “Power Loader” donned by Ripley for the main event grudge match.

Screening in Cameron’s preferred cut, which adds nearly 20 minutes of material not seen in the theatrical version, including glimpses of life at the ill-fated Hadley’s Hope colony and some “kickass” motion-activated turret guns.

“Hot off of the immediate successes of Blade Runner and TRON, Syd Mead was enlisted by Cameron to build out the world of ALIENS, his muscular, action-oriented second chapter to Ridley Scott’s now-iconic 1979 masterpiece. The centerpiece of Mead’s designs is the U.S.S. Sulaco, the military spaceship that transports the Colonial Marines, infusing the vessel with a functional and industrial aesthetic that enhanced the film’s gritty realism.” —Future Pastime exhibition curators William Corman and Elon Solo

Part of The Future According to Syd Mead, presented in conjunction with Syd Mead: Future Pastime, on view October 8 through December 17, 2026 at San Francisco’s Transamerica Pyramid Annex Gallery.

At its heart, A Deeper Love is a story about persistence, chosen family, and the power of queer artists to shape culture while fighting to live authentically.

"Powerful, urgent, and deeply human." - Elliot Page, The Hollywood Reporter

"This documentary arrives at a time when Trans voices need to be heard the loudest." - Attitude Magazine

Post screening Q&A with Director's and Film Subject's Janay Boulos and Abd Alkader Habak.

By turning the camera on themselves, the co-directors follow the arc of their own love story as the vehicle for a deeply moving narrative about the complexity of revolution and war. This film showcases the power of journalism through emotion and vulnerability; enduring, bearing witness, and telling one’s own story oftentimes has the most impact.

Spanning 13 years of revolution, war and exile, from besieged Aleppo to the confines of a London newsroom, Lebanese journalist Janay Boulos and Syrian activist and cameraman Abd Alkader Habak relive their war reporting and their unexpected love story, using a vast personal trove of archives.

“...Birds of War successfully immortalizes a beautiful, almost unbelievable love story that blooms in the wake of violence.” - Loud & Clear

Robert Longo’s JOHNNY MNEMONIC: IN BLACK & WHITE strips the cyberpunk thriller down to its starkest elements, turning its corporate dystopia, overloaded data networks, and street-level futurism into something even more graphic and uncanny. Keanu Reeves stars as a data courier carrying information directly in his brain, racing to deliver a dangerous payload before it kills him. Syd Mead contributed concept designs to the film, bringing his industrial, lived-in vision of the future to a world of megacorporations, obsolete technology, and information overload.

Years after killing her abusive husband in an act of self-defense, Tahereh now faces execution unless she can pay the Diya—blood money demanded by her abuser’s family. With the clock ticking and public sympathy running low, her son Mohsen is thrust into a desperate race against time to save his mother’s life, turning to outside donors in a society where victims of domestic abuse are often met with silence—or scorn.

With unprecedented access to private negotiations, legal proceedings, and intimate family moments, the filmmakers bring us deep inside a harrowing moral and legal labyrinth. We witness not only the emotional toll on Tahereh and her children, but also the chilling mechanics of a justice system shaped by patriarchal values and religious law. Gripping and deeply human, An Eye for an Eye lays bare the personal costs of systemic injustice—and the fierce resilience of a family fighting for their right to move forward.

On the last day of World War II in a small town somewhere in Poland, Polish exiles of war and the occupying Soviet forces confront the beginning of a new day and a new Poland. In this incendiary environment we find Home Army soldier Maciek Chelmicki, who has been ordered to assassinate an incoming commissar. But a mistake stalls his progress and leads him to Krystyna, a beautiful barmaid who gives him a glimpse of what his life could be.

Gorgeously photographed and brilliantly performed, Ashes and Diamonds masterfully interweaves the fate of a nation with that of one man, resulting in one of the most important Polish films of all time.

A celebration of girlhood and the complexities that come with it, Cookie Queens is a coming-of-age story about the joys, pressures, and tensions woven into one of America’s most cherished rituals: Girl Scout Cookie season.

"Nahmias maintains her delicate observational style throughout, painting both a melancholic portrait of childhood and several different corners of Americana through young perspectives..." - Tomris Laffly, RogerEbert

Ngozi Onwurah’s radically ahead-of-its-time Afrofuturist vision WELCOME II THE TERRORDOME made history as the first theatrically distributed British feature directed by a Black woman. Nevertheless, it was largely dismissed upon its release by critics unable to see the urgency in its evocation of a gritty dystopia in which Black people have been relegated to living in a slum called the Terrordome, where simmering racial tension threatens to boil over in the wake of a young boy’s death.

Over thirty years later, Onwurah’s fusion of political commentary and genre spectacle looks positively prescient, and her ability to build an entire cosmology that connects the history of slavery to present-day police brutality is nothing less than visionary.

Part of The Future According to Syd Mead, presented in conjunction with Syd Mead: Future Pastime, on view October 8 through December 17, 2026 at San Francisco’s Transamerica Pyramid Annex Gallery.

Steven Lisberger’s TRON plunges Jeff Bridges into a glowing digital universe of programs, gladiatorial games, and machine logic, creating one of the most distinctive visions of cyberspace ever put on screen. Syd Mead’s concept work helped shape the film’s sleek vehicles and futuristic environments, bringing his precision and industrial imagination to a world that felt radically new in 1982. Decades later, TRON still looks like the future as dreamed by a graphic designer with the circuitry exposed.

This screening is a fundraiser for the National Association for Civilian Oversight of Law Enforcement (NACOLE). For over thirty years, NACOLE has worked to make civilian oversight a cornerstone of every community, ensuring law enforcement and correctional institutions operate with transparency, accountability, fairness and integrity.

Following the film, experienced civilian oversight investigators will participate in a Q&A and will discuss their work and the film’s realistic portrayal of a police misconduct investigation. They’ll explore the practical and psychological challenges of conducting these investigations and the advantages of having independent civilian investigators, rather than police, investigate allegations of officer misconduct.

Following the Yellow Vest protests of Paris in 2018, internal affairs officer Stéphanie Bertrand must investigate the conduct of her fellow police officers during the demonstrations. Though striving to remain objective, Stéphanie’s position leaves her at stark odds with the rest of the police force. When she scrutinizes the near-fatal assault of a teenage protester from her hometown, Stéphanie is met with growing institutional pressure to drop the case and move on. The further her investigation develops, the more Stéphanie’s faith in the system she belongs to is tested.

From Dominik Moll, the award-winning French director of The Night of the 12th, comes his latest procedural — “a piercing slow-burn examination of police brutality” (The Hollywood Reporter) led by the “marvelous” (Screen Daily) Léa Drucker in a César-winning role for Best Actress. Timely and socially resonant, Case 137 is a tautly constructed study of institutional violence which asks charged questions about corruption and accountability in the criminal justice system.

The Griswolds have planned all year for a great summer vacation. From their suburban Chicago home, across America, to the wonders of Wally World fun park in California, every step of the way has been carefully plotted. Except a few hundred hysterical exceptions. There’s never been a family vacation like it. Except maybe yours. And that helps explain why National Lampoon’s Vacation remains so popular…and so very funny.
