We're only making up 200 of the "Kickstarter Exclusive posters" -- and 160 or so are already going out to backers who pledged for a poster. So: If you are among the people that win a poster, you are gonna be so stoked. SO STOKED.

Yep, they're showing it at the Mann's IMAX theater too, was hoping it would be an actual film print instead of a DCP but hey, beggars can't be choosers.

Who likes watching movies at baseball stadiums? The Dodgers just announced their Movies in the Park lineup. Last year they showed Sandlot at Chavez Ravine, this year, they're showing Field of Dreams, A League of Their Own and The Natural. WIsh they'd show Major League or Beer League, but they're probably going for something a little more G/PG rated. Oh well.

Sorry for quoting myself, but went to this last night, Jimmy Page and his gaggle of leech lawyers issued a cease & desist so cinespia weren't able to screen the Jimmy Page scored Lucifer Rising. Such horseshit. They showed it with the regular soundtrack, and added Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome to the bill, but still. What the gently caress. gently caress you Jimmy Page.

Ebertfest has started in Champaign-Urbana (Roger Ebert was born and raised in Urbana, IL) and headlining is a documentary about his life that he died in the middle of filming.

What is Ebertfest?

quote:

Founded in 1999 by the late Roger Ebert, University of Illinois Journalism graduate and Pulitzer Prize-winning film critic, Roger Ebert’s Film Festival (Ebertfest) celebrates films that haven’t received the recognition they deserved during their original runs. The festival gives these films and their filmmakers a well-deserved second look.

Ebertfest takes place in Urbana-Champaign each April. Chaz Ebert, Roger’s beloved wife, business partner and fellow film-lover, is the festival host.

While Roger passed away in April 2013, his influence on the Festival continues. True to Roger’s vision, the twelve films screened during the five day event represent a cross-section of important cinematic works overlooked by audiences, critics and/or distributors. Some films come from lists of possible films that Roger drew up over the first 15 years of the festival. Chaz Ebert and Festival Director Nate Kohn select additional films based on Roger’s established criteria for an Ebertfest film. Both Chaz and Nate worked closely with Roger for fifteen years on programming the festival.

The Festival brings together the films’ producers, writers, actors and directors to help showcase their work. A filmmaker or scholar introduces the films, and screenings are followed by an in depth on-stage Q&A discussion among filmmakers, critics and the audience.

Ebertfest is a special event of the College of Media at the University of Illinois, and the festival, in conjunction with the College, hosts a number of on-campus academic panel discussions each year that feature filmmaker guests, scholars and students.

All the festival films screen in the 1,500-seat Virginia Theatre, a restored 1920s movie palace with state-of-the-art 35/70mm and digital projection. A portion of the Festival’s income goes toward on-going renovations at the theatre.
Celebrities show up, tickets are really really hard to get, and it seems to get bigger and more popular every year, but if you ever do find yourself in the area you owe it to yourself to try and check out at least one movie during its run if you can. Its pretty unique.

Here's the schedule of films:

Lots of retrospectives going on in NYC this year.

Film Forum is doing an Alec Guinness 100th birthday celebration that starts in June. When we get closer I'll post a schedule.

The Film Society of Lincoln Center is doing a Rainer Fassbinder retro split into two parts. Part one starts 5/16. Here's a link: http://www.filmlinc.com/films/series/fassbinder-romantic-anarchist-part-1 and here's the schedule:

Ali: Fear Eats the Soul
Rainer Werner Fassbinder | 1974 | 93 mins
This wry, tender romance/social commentary about the unlikely love between a Moroccan immigrant and an older German widow remains one of the director’s most popular films.
Sunday, May 25 9:00pm
Saturday, May 31 3:00pm 7:20pm


The American Soldier
Rainer Werner Fassbinder | 1970 | 80 mins
An early example of Fassbinder’s pessimistic vision and his fierce, ravishing visual style, The American Soldier is a baroque homage to Hollywood cinema—film noir and gangster movies in particular.
Sunday, May 18 3:00pm 9:00pm

Beware of a Holy Whore
Rainer Werner Fassbinder | 1970 | 104 mins
A film’s cast and crew undergo a series of skirmishes, psychosexual charades, and nonplussed power trips in what may or may not be an accurate representation of Fassbinder’s behind-the-scenes methods.
Screening with Cuba Libre (Albert Serra, 18m).
Saturday, May 24 6:30pm
Monday, May 26 8:20pm


The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant
Rainer Werner Fassbinder | 1972 | 124 mins
High camp and claustrophobia abound in this chamber psychodrama about the cruel cat-and-mouse games between a fashion designer, her model, and a faithful, longtime love slave.
Friday, May 23 4:00pm
Sunday, May 25 2:30pm


Bremen Freedom
Rainer Werner Fassbinder | 1972 | 87 mins
This dark-as-pitch comedy about a widow who over 15 years killed as many people using butter laced with arsenic is one of Fassbinder’s more ambitious stage-to-television experiments.
Thursday, May 22 2:45pm 7:00pm

Effi Briest
Rainer Werner Fassbinder | 1974 | 141 mins
This take on Theodor Fontane’s tale of the rise and fall of a cosseted young 19th-century Candide whose “prison” is a manor on the Baltic Sea is among Fassbinder’s most visually ravishing.
Monday, May 26 5:30pm
Sunday, June 01 8:00pm


Gods of the Plague
Rainer Werner Fassbinder | 1970 | 91 mins
Fassbinder’s interest in teasing out the subtexts of American genre films is on display in this stylized noir exercise focused on the not-so-latent homoerotic tensions at the very heart of the gangster movie.
Friday, May 16 1:00pm 5:00pm
Saturday, May 17 7:00pm


Katzelmacher
Rainer Werner Fassbinder | 1969 | 88 mins
Fassbinder’s second feature depicts the intolerance of a circle of financially and sexually frustrated friends when an immigrant laborer moves to their Munich neighborhood.
Wednesday, May 21 5:00pm 9:00pm

Love Is Colder Than Death
Rainer Werner Fassbinder | 1969 | 88 mins
For his feature debut, Fassbinder fashioned an acerbic, unorthodox crime drama featuring a love triangle between a Munich pimp, a mysterious crook, and a prostitute.
Screening with The Bridegroom, the Comedienne and the Pimp (Jean-Marie Straub, 23m).
Friday, May 16 7:00pm
Saturday, May 17 4:30pm
Monday, May 19 4:00pm

Martha
Rainer Werner Fassbinder | 1974 | 116 mins
A beautiful virgin loses her father on a trip to Rome and falls into the arms of an older stranger. His sadism and her masochism set the stage for a claws-out satire of bourgeois marriage.
Friday, May 23 6:30pm
Sunday, June 01 1:00pm


The Merchant of Four Seasons
Rainer Werner Fassbinder | 1971 | 88 mins
New restoration!
In one of Fassbinder’s pivotal works and greatest achievements, an ineffectual ex-policeman newly home from the war continues to disappoint his bourgeois family by becoming a lowly fruit peddler.
Friday, May 16 3:00pm 9:20pm
Saturday, May 17 2:30pm
Sunday, May 18 4:45pm
Monday, May 19 6:30pm
Tuesday, May 20 8:30pm
Friday, May 23 9:00pm


The Niklashausen Journey
Rainer Werner Fassbinder | 1970 | 90 mins
A shepherd turns to preaching when he is visited by the Mother of God, but while his support increases, he is filled with a dissatisfaction that can be absolved only by embracing his own destruction.
Monday, May 19 8:30pm
Saturday, May 24 2:00pm

Nora Helmer
Rainer Werner Fassbinder | 1974 | 101 mins
Fassbinder’s idiosyncratic take on Ibsen’s A Doll’s House plays out as a blistering psychodrama visually refracted through latticework, curtains, prismatic glasses, and multi-paneled mirrors.
Thursday, May 22 4:45pm 9:00pm

Pioneers in Ingolstadt
Rainer Werner Fassbinder | 1971 | 83 mins
Conflict arises between a group of soldiers building a bridge in a provincial town whose motto, “Where there is no war, we’ll have to make one,” plays out in ways both trivial and profoundly dangerous.
Tuesday, May 20 6:30pm
Friday, May 23 2:00pm


Whity
Rainer Werner Fassbinder | 1971 | 95 mins
Never distributed theatrically but long an influential cult classic, Fassbinder’s seventh feature is a hothouse gothic melodrama shot in widescreen on Sergio Leone’s spaghetti Western sets in Spain.
Saturday, May 24 4:30pm 9:00pm

Why Does Herr R. Run Amok?
Rainer Werner Fassbinder | 1970 | 88 mins
Harrowing and bleakly comic in equal measure, Fassbinder’s story of explosive rage focuses on a man with a perfect middle-class existence… until he beats his family to death with a candlestick.
Saturday, May 17 9:00pm
Sunday, May 18 1:00pm


World on a Wire
Rainer Werner Fassbinder | 1973 | 212 mins
A film many years ahead of its time, this recently rediscovered labyrinth is a paranoid, boundlessly inventive take on the future with dashes of Stanley Kubrick, Kurt Vonnegut, and Philip K. Dick.
Sunday, May 25 5:00pm
Monday, May 26 1:30pm


FASSBINDER AND HIS FRIENDS

All That Heaven Allows
Douglas Sirk | 1955 | 89 mins

Gone with the Wind - July 27 at 2:00 PM (reserved seating only)
The Philadelphia Story - July 31 at 7:30 PM

Saturday Morning Cartoons - August 2 at 10:00 AM

Young Frankenstein/Blazing Saddles double feature - August 3 at 2:00 PM
Double Indemnity - August 14 at 7:30 PM
Mary Poppins - August 17 at 2:00 PM
The Women (1939) - August 21 at 7:30 PM

(All 2:00 PM shows are Sundays and all 7:30 PM shows are Thursdays unless noted)

Advance tickets go on sale on Friday, May 9th. All films are $8 for a standard adult ticket (if purchased before May 31), $12 each after or purchased same-day. Exceptions are the Blazing Saddles/Young Frankenstein double feature, which is $15 advance, $20 day-of and the morning cartoons are $5 a ticket. Gone with the Wind is reserved seating only and tickets range from $10 to $20 depending on the seat (just like roadshows used to be).

All films proceeded with a classic cartoon and a live pipe organ performance. The theatre has a massive Wurlitzer pipe organ from the 1920s installed and have shown some silent films with live scores.

For those unfamiliar with Atlanta's Fox Theatre, it's an old time movie palace (finished in 1929) more often used for stage performances. They have a gigantic screen and state-of-the-art 35mm film and 4K digital projection. I would recommend using the MARTA rail or bus system since parking is a nightmare (and only $5 round trip compared to $10-20 for parking).

For those unfamiliar with Atlanta's Fox Theatre, it's an old time movie palace (finished in 1929) more often used for stage performances. They have a gigantic screen and state-of-the-art 35mm film and 4K digital projection. I would recommend using the MARTA rail or bus system since parking is a nightmare (and only $5 round trip compared to $10-20 for parking).

The Fox is trolling me by showing Raiders of the Lost Ark last year and skipping to Last Crusade this year. I'd kill to see Temple of Doom in a theater.

They probably had to pick one or the other, not to mention going with more family-friendly films. They chose wisely - Temple of Doom is the worst film in the series.

ToD's my favorite because it's the scariest. The other Indy movies bore me if I'm going to be honest.

Gone with the Wind at the Fox should be cool. I'm gonna check that out for sure.

Fixed that for you.

Tomorrow Cinefamily is airing Werner Hertzogs "Nosforatu". He'll also be there in person. Afterwards they're showing "Death Spa". I wish I could make it to either showing.

At worst, Crystal Skull is just mediocre. Temple of Doom has that nasty eighties vibe of being fueled by booze and cocaine. It's not a bad movie, but I'll revisit the last before I want to sit through it again.

Temple of Doom is also by far the most racist (and that's including the random native assassins/alien worshipers in Crystal Skull).

Dance of Reality is showing in NYC at the Sunshine and they keep movies there for a while generally if people are still going (Rust and Bone was there for like five months). Of what's showing there now/soon Palo Alto is the next getting bumped and then I think Only Lovers Left Alive. I don't think The Grand Seduction will be there very long so there's space for it to hang around a while longer, would bet on it running about two or two and a half months from when it started.
