This film marks the slow-building shift toward a more “raceless” zombie figure, discarding the symbolically Black trappings of Haiti and voodoo.
Streets of Fire
In Walter Hill’s neo-noir cum outlaw-biker rock opera, fifties nostalgia fuels a futuristic Americana fantasy that’s all neon, chrome, fire, and steam. Screening in 70mm, August 27–Sep. 4.
Zombies of Mora Tau
While other zombie films of the era were more preoccupied with the “atomic” zombie—a manifestation of scientific overreach rather than a mystical being—Cahn’s film contains prescient imagery to which several later zombie films may trace their lineage.
Sleeping Beauty
You have two more chances to see this gorgeous 70mm print of Walt Disney’s classic 1959 fairy tale, at the time the most expensive animated film ever made. Screening September 3 and 5!
