Two very different films which played to sellout crowds last weekend will return for encores: the delightfully manic, one-of-a-kind Hundreds of Beavers<\/em><\/strong> (profiled in this week’s NY Times<\/em><\/a>) and the ebullient documentary on the New Orleans music scene, Up From the Streets<\/em><\/strong>.\u00a0\u00a0
You’ll have one more chance to research your Oscar night ballots with our screenings of Best International Feature nominees The Teachers’ Lounge<\/em><\/strong> (Germany) and Io Capitano<\/em><\/strong> (Italy). Our two previous winners on the schedule include the more-powerful-than-ever Navalny<\/em><\/strong> (2023 Best Documentary) also encoring from last weekend’s near-full house, and Akira Kurosawa’s Rashomon<\/em><\/strong>, the 1952 winner for Best Foreign Film. Max Alvarez and I will be on hand to discuss that endlessly-debatable classic on Oscar afternoon.\u00a0
Returning\u00a0this weekend is one of our most exuberant recent crowd-pleasers, Francois Ozon’s The Crime Is Mine<\/em><\/strong>. We’re also presenting on Sunday Joan Micklin Silver’s\u00a0Crossing Delancey<\/em><\/strong>, hosted by its screenwriter Susan Sandler and indie filmmaker Jenny Slate. That screening is completely sold out, but we’ll be doing another one in the coming weeks.\u00a0\u00a0
And next weekend, direct from the recent NY Jewish Film Festival, a new documentary on another beloved actor:\u00a0Remembering Gene Wilder<\/em>.\u00a0\u00a0
