Recurring

Fremont

Jalali’s Sundance standout, about a newly immigrated twentysomething from Afghanistan in the San Francisco Bay Area, has an exquisitely modulated tone all its own: somewhere between deadpan comedy and offhand sorrow. Screening 9/15–9/24.

Recurring

Lost in Translation

On 9/16 and 9/30, see a special 35mm twentieth-anniversary screening of Sofia Coppola’s confident second film about an aging movie star (Bill Murray) and a newly married twenty-something (Scarlett Johansson in her breakout performance), who meet at a lofty hotel bar in Tokyo.

Janie Geiser Program 3: Double Vision

This series includes eight films made between 2013 and 2018 that investigate the photographic image. Found thrift store images and rediscovered family photographs are forensically examined, reimagined, reframed, unmoored, and re-revealed in all of their documentary truth and fiction. With Janie Geiser in person!
