Screamplay
An aspiring screenwriter comes to Hollywood to make it in the movies... only to wind up as janitor of a fleabag apartment run by a greasy ex-boxer (George Kuchar). When the writer channels frustrations with his kooky neighbors into fodder for a new screenplay, the vivid murders he imagines start to happen for real, and the line between fiction and fantasy begins to smear. A singularly charming tribute to Old Hollywood and a marvel of low-budget, high-concept filmmaking.
Killer Condom | Staff Picks
In the seedy underbelly of midtown Manhattan, the male patrons of the Hotel Quickie are getting their genitals bitten off by a carnivorous condom. Ace detective Luigi Mackeroni, assigned to the case, is skeptical–until he finds himself maimed by one of the man-eating prophylactics. As an army of ravenous rubbers besieges the Big Apple, Mackeroni must find a way to contracept the escalating emasculation epidemic.
We Can’t Go Home Again
Made with his students in upstate New York, Nicholas Ray's experimental masterpiece embodies the director’s practice of filmmaking as a communal way of life, featuring Ray variously as mentor, friend, and index to his students' stories of love, rebellion, and lost innocence. Reconstructed and restored from its 1973 release, the film's unique, almost anthropological approach to multiple-image storytelling, records the history, progress, manners, and mores of everyday life at a critical moment in 1970s America.

In a Lonely Place | 35mm print!
When a washed-up screenwriter with a hair-trigger temper (Humphrey Bogart) becomes prime suspect in a Tinseltown murder, his only alibi is a seductive neighbor (Gloria Grahame) with her own troubled past. Nicholas Ray's emotionally charged thriller is a turbulent mix of suspense-wracked noir and devastating melodrama. An uncompromising tale of two people desperate to love in spite of their demons, one of the greatest films of the 1950s and a benchmark in the career of the legendary Hollywood auteur.
Minamata Mandala

A deeply humanizing portrait of the survivors, care providers, researchers, and their supporters, and a comprehensive chronicle of one of the worst environmental tragedies in human history.
