Satyajit Ray Restored (Continuing Until October 21 At The Aero)
Sometimes I miss happenings in this sprawl of a city of ours, or well, in this case come in a week late, but we're now coming up on the core of the American Cinematheque's brilliant retrospective on arguably the more important Indian director in cinematic history.
Coming up the Aero is hosting a triple feature of Ray's seminal Apu Trilogy, and many double and single screenings, including The Adventures Of Goopy and Bagha & The Elephant God, plus Teen Kanya. All films are playing in new 35mm prints.
A Tribute To Karen Black (September 27 - October 4 At The New Beverly)
Last month we lost the always fascinating Karen Black, and starting this month, the New Bev is running a tribute for her, featuring Five Easy Pieces, Nashville and Cisco Pike, amongst a few others.
The United States Of Horror (October 1 - 31 at The Cinefamily)
Every year Cinefamily celebrates Halloween all month long with a horror movie every day and this year they're focusing on American films from state to state. Personal favorites include Carnival Of Souls (Kansas) and Martin (Pennsylvania). The selection is rather astounding so I'll let that do most of the talking. The majority of screenings will be in 35mm or 16mm.
