A follow-up to its award-winning Pioneers of AfricanAmerican Cinema, this collection was produced for Kino Lorber by Bret Wood and curated by
historian Shelley Stamp. The series presents a vast array of new 2K restorations, focusing primarily on women directors of the silentera American cinema. As was frequently the case, women directors remained uncredited or were co-credited as director, even though for all intents and purposes, they were the de-facto directors and primary creative forces of the film. When: Daily through July 26th, times vary please see www.bam.org for schedule Where: Fort Greene/ BAM Rose Cinemas (30 Lafayette Avenue)
THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE Tobe Hooper’s The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is one of a handful of films that punctuate the very life-blood of cinematic history. Intensely brutal with very little reprieve or consideration for the audience, it came out of a rift of a sociocultural framework, bursting onscreen with the evisceration of the family structure, youth culture, and cultural fragility in a post-Vietnam United States. Like Night of the Living Dead did five years earlier, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre reveals the unraveling framework of society and places the possibility of horror/death to occur anywhere; not in the Gothic castle nor in the fields of Vietnam but, more terrifyingly, in our surrounding neighborhoods. The film also reveals one of the first final girls (Sally) in the American slasher genre. When: Friday & Saturday, July 20th & 21st, 11:45 p.m.
