The Films of Philippe Garrel April 5 - April 27
At a time when the auteurs of the French New Wave were basking in international success, the young Philippe Garrel emerged with a singular, anarchistic vision that pushed the limits of an already-groundbreaking movement. As the civil unrest in France sparked by the events of May ’68 reverberated around the globe, Garrel and a coterie of filmmakers known as the Zanzibar group began dismantling the structure and language of the cinema that preceded them. Throughout the 1970s, while involved in a tumultuous relationship with German model and chanteuse Nico, Garrel made some of the most daring and visionary cinema in all of Europe. Often incorporating aspects of his personal life and casting members of his own family in his narratives, Garrel pioneered a singular style of filmmaking with hints of Robert Bresson, Jacques Rivette and Andy Warhol, and an aesthetic dominated by minimalism and existential ennui.

Marie pour mémoire
Philippe Garrel, France, 1967, 74 min., French w/ English subtitles
Garrel’s first full-length feature is, Kent Jones writes, “an explicitly political work about innocence thwarted by parental and state control that trades in the iconography of the Holy Trinity” and was an international success, winning first prize at the Festival of Young Cinema in Hyères. 3

Le révélateur
In this beguiling, hypnotic, completely silent work, a couple (Bernadette Lafont and Laurent Terzieff) and their child cross a wasted landscape, keeping just ahead of an unexplained, pursuing threat. Preceded by:
Les enfants désaccordés
Philippe Garrel, France, 1964, 15 min.
The story of two runaways –“the out-of-tune children”– and Garrel’s earliest surviving film, shot at age 16. Saturday, April 7 at 6pm
The Inner Scar
Philippe Garrel, France, 1972, 35mm, 60 min.
“Features Pierre Clementi (nude) and the Andy Warhol superstar Nico (dressed in a loose robe), and a few others, including Philippe Garrel. Clementi speaks French; Nico sometimes complains in English and sometimes declaims in German verse, and sometimes sings for musical background on the soundtrack. There are no subtitles.” — The New York Times, 1972.
J’entends plus la guitare
Completed in the aftermath of Nico’s sudden death in 1988, J’entends plus la guitare is Garrel’s tribute to the relationship that so profoundly marked him and his art. Johanna ter Steege is the stand-in for Nico; Benoît Régent is the Garrel substitute; and we see them through happiness/dependence, heroin-fueled breakdowns, and the building of independent lives. Followed by a conversation with Filmmaker/ Editor Yann Dedet and Julien Suaudeau, Bryn Mawr College Thursday, April 26 at 7pm
Les baisers de secours
Philippe Garrel, France, 1989, 35mm, 90 min., French w/ English subtitles
A family movie in the purest sense, Garrel here plays a filmmaker who, in putting together his latest film, comes into conflict with his wife after he refuses to cast her in a retelling of their own love story, starring himself. Starring Garrel’s wife, Brigitte Sy and their young child Louis Garrel, and Garrel’s father Maurice.

The Virgin’s Bed
Elemental, mysterious, and nearly overpowering in its widescreen imagery and moving camera, Le Lit de la vierge (“The Virgin’s Bed”) stars friends/collaborators Pierre Clementi and Zouzou as Christ and Mary. Saturday, April 14 at 7pm
Le berceau de cristal
Philippe Garrel, France, 1976, 35mm, 70 min.
A score by Ash Ra Tempel provides atmosphere to this sometimes dreamy, sometimes ominously silent trancelike transmission featuring Dominique Sanda, Anita Pallenberg and Frédéric Pardo, whose canvases are meditatively presented in whole or in part for observation.
Regular Lovers
May ’68 and after — the moment of collective uprising, the comedown of returning to a world fundamentally unchanged — is an event absolutely central to Garrel’s worldview. Garrel felt compelled to portray the period as it was by someone who was there, and correct the historical record for future generations. The film combines youthful romance with adult rue, and introduced Garrel anew to the United States. Preceded by:

The Films of Joaquim Pedro de Andrade May 12 - May 25
In collaboration with Kino Lorber, Lightbox presents a retrospective of the work of Joaquim Pedro de Andrade, one of the most important figures in the Cinema Novo movement that transformed Brazilian film in the 1960s and ’70s. Hailing from a culturally prominent family in Rio de Janeiro, Andrade grew up in close contact with some of the country’s greatest artists, writers, and scholars. Abandoning his university education to pursue filmmaking, he would soon join in the formally and politically audacious Cinema Novo. Andrade’s films combined a sophisticated, modernist approach with an uncompromisingly critical, often outrageous, and uniquely Brazilian sensibility that makes his work every bit as vital today as it was when he made it.
Saturday, May 12 at 6pm
Garrincha: Hero of the Jungle Joaquim Pedro de Andrade, Brazil, 1963, 35mm, 60 min., b&w, Portuguese w/ English subtitles
Andrade’s feature debut is a documentary portrait of a celebrated soccer player. Moving in strange ways, with broken rhythms, the film is divided into roughly three sections: a celebration of soccer itself, a directcinema style look at Garrincha’s daily life and his celebrity; and a study of the player’s performance in Brazil’s back-to-back World Cup final wins.

Saturday, May 12 at 8pm
Macunaíma
Joaquim Pedro de Andrade, Brazil, 1969, 35mm, 95 min., Portuguese w/ English subtitles
Widely considered one of the most influential works of Cinema Novo, Macunaíma is a hilariously biting adaptation of Mario de Andrade’s eponymous novel, itself a canonical text of early Brazilian modernism. It tells the story of “a hero without a character,” the son of a native Indian who is born black, spends the first six years of his life without uttering a word (due to “laziness”), and turns white before venturing into the capitalist jungle of São Paulo.

The Priest and the Girl
Conjugal Warfare
Shot in a small village in the province of Minas Gerais, Andrade’s first full-fledged feature film calls to mind Robert Bresson in its formal austerity, severe black-and-white cinematography, and religious milieu. The film’s protagonist is a young priest who arrives in the village to replace his dying predecessor. He befriends the young and beautiful Mariana, only to discover that she’s enmeshed in an incestuous relationship with one of the town’s most prominent residents.
Conjugal Warfare is widely considered to be a critique of pornochanchadas, a genre of sexploitation films produced in Brazil. Here, Andrade adapts sixteen short stories by writer Dalton Trevisan, a chronicler of working class stories set in Curitiba, into a three-part film focused on a seductive lawyer, an elderly couple in an abusive relationship, and a young man with perverse sexual tastes.
Friday, May 18 at 7pm
The Conspirators
Joaquim Pedro de Andrade, Brazil, 1982, 35mm, 106 min., Portuguese w/ English subtitles
Based on the poem “Romanceiro da Inconfidência” (1953) by Cecilia Meireles, The Conspirators tells the story of the uprising known as the “Inconfidência Mineira,” Brazil’s first attempt at independence from Portugal. Filmed at the height of Brazil’s military dictatorship, The Conspirators traces Tiradentes’ rise and fall, drawing veiled but clear connections between the country’s past and present.
A bemused, sexy, and positively ecstatic take on the life, work, and ideas of author Oswald de Andrade. The Brazilwood Man gives us a double Oswald: a man and a cross-dressed woman appear together on screen, simultaneously playing the writer. In the end, the female Oswald, inspired by the manifesto’s call for a revolutionary cannibalistic matriarchy, eats her male counterpart – just as Macunaíma, back in the jungle after his loss-filled journey, is devoured by a pond nymph.

Kids of the Black Hole June 15 - June 23
Teen rebellion has always been a favorite topic of movies, from James Dean in Rebel Without a Cause to the hippie delinquents in Riot on the Sunset Strip. By the late 1970s, with the counterculture baby-boomer generation moving comfortably into adulthood, a new crop of angry youngsters was taking the stage. Fueled by punk rock and heavy metal, these kids emerged from their subterranean, black light poster-covered bedrooms to cause real damage. These wayward youth succumbed to the paranoia and depression of Cold War-era America led by Ronald Reagan. The five films in this series offer a glimpse of every parent’s nightmare – pure anarchy with none of the sentimental charm of John Hughes or the hopefulness of John Cusack comedies. Watch your back because “a kid who tells on another kid is a dead kid.” Friday, June 15 at 7pm
Out of the Blue
counterview to the affluent yuppie culture of 1980s America.
Dennis Hopper, Canada, 1980, 35mm, 93 min.
More than a decade after helming the iconic Easy Rider, Dennis Hopper took on the next wave of youth rebellion in his film Out of the Blue. The story follows 15-year old Cebe as she attempts to navigate the world between her alcoholic, ex-con father and her heroinaddicted mother. Cebe’s only heroes are Elvis Presley and Johnny Rotten and her only escape is through their music. The downward spiral of this shattered family is captured by Hopper’s direction in wide-eyed, gut-wrenching detail until the final, disturbing conclusion. Saturday, June 16 at 7pm
Times Square
Allan Moyle, US, 1980, 35mm, 110 min.
A drama from the era before the “Disneyfication” of New York City’s Times Square, when the neighborhood was an infamous red light district with sex and drugs lurking around every corner. Saturday, June 23 at 5pm
Suburbia
Penelope Spheeris, US, 1983, 35mm, 94 min.
Following her gritty exposé of the L.A. punk scene, The Decline of Western Civilization, Penelope Spheeris created a fictionalized account of young, wayward punk rockers dubbed “The Rejected,” kids who serve as a

Featuring a cast of non-actors, including Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea, Suburbia is a disturbing portrait of reckless kids forging a community of cast offs. Saturday, June 23 at 8pm DOUBLE FEATURE!
Over the Edge
Jonathan Kalplan, US, 1979, 95 min.
Fed up with the boredom and isolation of their sterile suburban wasteland, Carl, Richie (Matt Dillon) and their friends embark on a lawless rampage that involves drugs, guns, vandalism and burglary. Unlike other teen rebellion films of this era where teens were often portrayed by adult actors, Over the Edge features a cast of real-life teens, giving the gritty story an added level of veracity. With a soundtrack that features The Ramones, Cheap Trick and Van Halen, Over the Edge has obtained cult status. Followed by:
River’s Edge
Tim Hunter, US, 1986, 35mm, 98 min.
Tim Hunter, writer of Over the Edge, depicts another group of troubled teenagers flirting with disaster, this time involving the murder of one of their own by another acquaintance. Starring Crispin Glover, Keanu Reeves and Ione Skye, River’s Edge is among the darkest visions of adolescence committed to celluloid.

Louis Bluver’s Arthouse Revisited
Selected Classics of World Cinema and Independent Film as they were meant to be seen, on the Big Screen
Lightbox One Year Celebration
Saturday, April 21 at 7pm Join us as we celebrate our first year as Lightbox Film Center. Following the screening of famed Italian director Bernardo Bertolucci’s stunning second feature Before the Revolution, guests are invited to celebrate this milestone with food, drinks, and music in our Galleria.
Before the Revolution
Bernardo Bertolucci, Italy, 1964, 35mm, 115 min., b/w, Italian w/ English subtitles
Bernardo Bertolucci’s stunning second feature, made when he was 22, is one of the great works of postwar Italian cinema. As young student Fabrizio is forced to weigh his commitment to political change against his own bourgeois upbringing, his world is turned upside down by the mysterious death of a friend that coincides with a visit from his aunt. By foregrounding the Marxist rhetoric of Fabrizio’s teacher Cesare, the film presages the growing protest movements that emerged in the latter part of the 1960s. With music by Ennio Morricone, Before the Revolution has long been unavailable in the United States and will be presented on 35mm thanks to the Istituto Luce Cinecittà, Rome. $15 General Admission, $10 Students & Seniors, $5 Lightbox Members & IHP Residents

Time Regained
Raul Ruiz, France, 1999, 163 min., French w/ English subtitles
Time Regained is Raúl Ruiz’s ambitious literary adaptation which distills all of Marcel Proust’s inconic “In Search of Lost Time” into a single epic feature. The film opens in 1922, as Proust is on his deathbed pouring through old photographs that summon the events of his life. Gradually, we watch as his own experiences merge with his fictional creations. The result is a montage of moving snapshots and feverish dreams that makes the film the ultimate experience in literary cinema.

King of Hearts
Philippe de Broca, France/Italy, 1966, 102 min.
During World War I, Scottish soldier Private Plumpick is sent on a mission to a village in the French countryside to disarm a bomb set by the retreating German army. Plumpick encounters a strange town occupied by the former residents of the local psychiatric hospital who escaped after the villagers deserted.
King of Hearts has become a worldwide cult favorite and stands out as one of de Broca’s most memorable films. Fifty years after its original release, this satirical look at the absurdities of war is presented in a gorgeous new 4K restoration for modern audiences to discover.

Thursday, May 24 at 7pm
The Illinois Parables Deborah Stratman, US, 2016, 60 min.
An experimental documentary comprised of regional vignettes about faith, force, technology and exodus. Eleven parables relay histories of settlement, removal, technological breakthrough, violence, messianism and resistance, all occurring somewhere in the state of Illinois. The state is a convenient structural ruse, allowing its histories to become allegories that explore how we’re shaped by conviction and ideology. Preceded by:

Goin’ Nowhere with George Kuchar While the small town of El Reno, Oklahoma may be obscure to many, it was a place that George Kuchar returned to again and again. Though many associate the legendary filmmaker with NYC or with San Francisco, Kuchar’s unique brand of malaise and restlessness was a perfect 11
fit for the American Midwest. The four works in this screening, each made in a different decade, show how he spent his time in El Reno: documenting the weather, shooting the breeze with locals or, most often, taking in the scene from the ambience and comfort of his motel room at the El Reno Inn. George plumbs the loneliness, horniness and wonder of experiencing this alien terrain, embracing the sights, sounds and stenches of what many on the coasts might consider flyover country.

Thirty years after his death, Joseph Beuys still feels like a visionary and is widely considered one of the most influential artists of his generation. Using previously untapped visual and audio sources, director Andreas Veiel has created a one-of-a-kind chronicle: Beuys is not a portrait in the traditional sense, but an intimate and in-depth look at a human being, his art and ideas, and the way they have impacted the world.

Donna Haraway: Story Telling for Earthly Survival Fabrizio Terranova, Belgium, 2017, 81 min.
Feminist thinker and historian of science Donna Haraway is best known as the author of two revolutionary works: the essay “The Cyborg Manifesto” and the book “Primate Visions.” Donna Haraway: Story Telling for Earthly Survival features a series of discussions on subjects including capitalism and the anthropocene, science fiction writing as philosophical text, kinship relations, the roles of storytelling and Catholicism in her upbringing, humans and dogs, the suppression of women’s writing, the surprisingly fascinating history of orthodontic aesthetics, and the need for new post-colonial and post-patriarchal narratives.

The Crime of Monsieur Lange
Jean Renoir, France, 1936, 86 min., b&w, French w/ English subtitles
Politics, Murder, Romance - Jean Renoir’s The Crime of Monsieur Lange displays the director’s deft ability to balance intrigue and wit all while maintaining his fluid storytelling ability. After Amedée Lange’s maliciously charming boss Batala (Jules Berry) is presumed dead following his flight from debt collectors, Lange, with the assistance of his lover Valentine (Florelle), helps organize a community of workers into a cooperative publishing house for his hit Western serial “Arizona Jim.” Saturday, June 2 at 7pm
The Rules of the Game
Jean Renoir, France, 1939, 106 min., b&w, French w/ English subtitles
This film series is presented in conjunction with the Barnes Foundation’s Renoir: Father and Son/Painting and Cinema, a major exhibition examining the artistic exchange between the renowned impressionist painter, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and his son, celebrated filmmaker Jean Renoir—on view at the Barnes May 6 through September 3, 2018. www.barnesfoundation.org/whats-on/ renoir-father-son
13
The Rules of the Game by Jean Renoir is a scathing critique of corrupt French society cloaked in a comedy of manners in which a weekend at a marquis’ country château lays bare some ugly truths about a group of haut bourgeois acquaintances. The film has had a tumultuous history: it was subjected to cuts after the violent response of the premiere audience in 1939, and the original negative was destroyed during World War II; it wasn’t reconstructed until 1959. That version, which has stunned viewers for decades, is presented here. Friday, June 29 at 7pm
Elena and her Men
Jean Renoir, France, 1956, 95 min., French w/ English subtitles
Set amid the military maneuvers and Quatorze Juillet carnivals of turn-of-the-century France, Jean Renoir’s delirious romantic comedy Elena and her Men stars a radiant Ingrid Bergman as a beautiful, but impoverished Polish princess who drives men of all stations to fits of desperate love. When Elena elicits the fascination of a famous general, she finds herself at the center of romantic machinations and political scheming, with the hearts of several men— as well as the future of France—in her hands.
