KELLYREICHARDT’SFEATUREFILMS (IN THE ORDER I WANT YOU TO WATCH THEM) by Sage MEEK’S CUTOFF( 2010) ☐ White settlers get lost on their journey west through the Oregon desert, where they capture a Native American man and desperately hope he will lead them to water. Meek’s was my first Reichardt experience, and it continues to inform the way I watch movies. WENDY AND LUCY( 2008) ☐ After her car breaks down, Wendy is stranded with her dog, Lucy. A heartrending journey into Reichardt’s interest in characters who don’t have a “safety net,” this film always gets me thinking on where we find ourselves when we’re in motion and yet stuck at the same time. OLD JOY( 2006) ☐ Focusing on the friendship of two men who go on a hiking trip to an Oregon hot spring, Old Joy marks Reichardt’s first full display of what would become her signature style. FIRST COW( 2019) ☐ Friendship and Oregon go together for Reichardt like quiet and landscapes. Mastery of her craft is beautifully apparent in her return to the 1800s west. RIVER OF GRASS( 1994) ☐ There’s no denying the specialness of this debut feature, which takes place in Reichardt’s home state of Florida and follows two lonely people on the run for a crime they didn’t commit. The film showcases Reichardt’s humor and playfulness in ways that make me want to know her. NIGHT MOVES( 2013) ☐ Three environmental activists plot to blow up a dam, and the fallout is more than they’re prepared for. A striking example of Reichardt’s description of her films as “glimpses of people passing through.” CERTAIN WOMEN( 2016) ☐ Based on short stories by Maile Meloy and set in Montana, Certain Women is arguably Reichardt’s best film to date. After not being able to get one of the sound clips quiet enough to suit her liking, according to an interviewer, “Reichardt looked despondent. In a signal of forfeit, she sighed, shrugged and said, ‘Maybe the world is just too loud.’” .

Fuller was a victim of a workplace accident, and his ongoing medical issues have led him to hire Laura to see if she can reopen his case. He’s stubborn and won’t listen to Laura’s advice – though he seems to heed it when the same counsel comes from a male colleague. Thinking he has no other option, Fuller decides to take a security guard hostage in order to get his demands met. Laura must act as intermediary and exchange herself for the hostage, trying to convince Fuller to give himself up.

amherstcinema FEB - APR 28 Amity St. Amherst, MA 01002 • www.amherstcinema.org • 413.253.2547 2020 See something different! In addition to the special events in this newsletter, Amherst Cinema shows current-release film on four screens every day. Visit amherstcinema.org and join our weekly e-newsletter for the latest offerings. films of Kelly Reichardt In anticipation of the March 2020 opening of her new movie, FIRST COW, Amherst Cinema is pleased to present four films from the back catalog of director Kelly Reichardt. Reichardt's dramas are small-scale symphonies; alchemical transmogrifications of the ordinary into gripping cinematic experiences. Often collaborating with the same creatives across multiple pictures, such as actor Michelle Williams and writer Jonathan Raymond, Reichardt's films turn the WENDY AND LUCY lens on those in some way at the margins of American communities. Be it a woman living out of her car in WENDY AND LUCY, a group of lost 1840s pioneers in MEEK'S CUTOFF, a reclusive ranch hand in CERTAIN WOMEN, or a hand-to-mouth ex-hippie in OLD JOY, Reichardt's characters, regardless of life circumstances, are deeply and richly human. There may be no other living filmmaker who so fully realizes Roger Ebert's assertion that "movies are the most powerful empathy machine in all the arts." All of which is to say nothing of her films' painterly cinematography, naturalistic and immersive sound design, and Reichardt's knack of scouting the perfect space for every scene, often in the wilds of the Pacific Northwest. Reichardt and her work have been honored at the Cannes Film Festival, the Venice Film Festival, the BFI MEEK'S CUTOFF London Film Festival, the Film Independent Spirit Awards, and more.

Night Moves Instrueret Og Skrevet Af Kelly Reichardt
ANGEL FILMS PRÆSENTERER Night Moves Instrueret og skrevet af Kelly Reichardt 112 minutter Kontakt:(Peter(Sølvsten(Thomsen,([email protected]( 1 Night Moves Dansk synopsis: En spændingsfyldt fortælling om de tre passionerede miljøaktivister, Josh (Jesse Eisenberg), Dena (Dakota Fanning) og Harmon (Peter Sarsgaard), der sammen planlægger en bombeaktion mod en dæmning. Aktionen lykkes, men ikke uden uforudsete konsekvenser – konsekvenser som skal vise sig at blive skæbnesvanger for de tre aktivister. Josh, Dena og Harmon vender tilbage til deres hverdag i forsøget på at holde lav profil, men begynder hurtigt at mærke det psykiske pres af deres store hemmelighed. Efterhånden som paranoia og mistillid kryber ind i de sammensvornes hoveder, begynder idealismens skyggesider at vise sig. Gennem Kelly Reichardts særegne stil og atmosfære, stiller NIGHT MOVES skarpt på spørgsmålet om, hvorvidt terrorhandlinger kan retfærdiggøres, så længe bevæggrunden herfor er sympatisk, eller om al terror leder til umoralsk fanatisme? Kontakt:(Peter(Sølvsten(Thomsen,([email protected]( 2 NIGHT MOVES ABOUT THE STORY Kelly Reichardt’s suspense thriller NIGHT MOVES follows three passionate environmentalists whose homegrown plot to Blow up a controversial dam unravels into a journey of douBt, paranoia and unintended consequences.

When her car breaks down in Oregon, however, the thin fabric of her financial situation comes apart, and she confronts a series of increasingly dire economic decisions, with far-ranging repercussions for herself and her dog. Wendy and Lucy addresses issues of sympathy and generosity at the edges of American life, revealing the limits and depths of people's duty to each other in tough times. E-MAIL TO THE PRODUCER Neil, how are you today? I enjoyed reading "Wendy and Lucy" and thought I'd send off some random-ish thoughts. Read when you have some time. I like films that show affection (at least some) for all their characters. I imagine that if Kelly delivers this one in her quiet style, she'll be adding powerful dramatic irony to the sadness, alienation and loss that permeate the story. The script could be read simply as a story illustration of that iconic American sound, the train whistle. The soundtrack of mourning. The siren of passing hope in the night that better things wait somewhere, anywhere that is not here, another place we could just maybe start again.

The Films of Kelly Reichardt’
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MUSEUM OF THE MOVING IMAGE PRESENTS ‘THE FILMS OF KELLY REICHARDT’ Weekend film series, April 1–3, 2011, opens with an evening of conversation with Kelly Reichardt and screening of rare short Kelly Reichardt’s films are among the most richly textured and keenly observant works in contemporary cinema. To coincide with the release of her latest film, Meek’s Cutoff , Museum of the Moving Image will present “Adrift in America: The Films of Kelly Reichardt” from April 1 though 3, 2011. The weekend retrospective opens with an evening with Reichardt featuring a rare showing of her short film Ode (1999) followed by a conversation with Chief Curator David Schwartz accompanied by clips from all her feature films, including select scenes from Meek’s Cutoff . The series continues with screenings of her 1994 feature debut River of Grass ; Old Joy , which brought her widespread acclaim in 2006; and Wendy and Lucy (2008), a devastating portrayal of alienation and poverty in America, starring Michelle Williams. Meek’s Cutoff , Reichardt’s highly anticipated new film, opens theatrically on April 8 at Film Forum and Lincoln Plaza, released by Oscilloscope Laboratories. “Reichardt delves deeply into landscapes, human and natural, finding poetry through a precise, distilled approach that is rooted in realism,” stated David Schwartz. “She often evokes popular movie genres, including the road movie, the buddy film, and the Western, only to subvert them. She focuses on rootless characters who live on the margins—the exact opposite of the conventional American movie hero.” SCHEDULE FOR ‘ADRIFT IN AMERICA: THE FILMS OF KELLY REICHARDT (APRIL 1–3) Films are included with Museum admission unless otherwise noted and take place at the Museum.

Kelly Reichardt LE CENTRE POMPIDOU En Devienne Une Représentante Majeure, Avec Old Joy Et Surtout Wendy Et Lucy
L’ADRC près avoir travaillé avec Hal Hartley et Todd Haynes, Kelly AReichardt réalise en 1994 River of Grass, qui l’inscrit d’emblée présente sur la scène indépendante américaine. Il faudra quelques années, en partenariat avec durant lesquelles elle commence à enseigner, et la découverte de l’Oregon, son territoire de cinéma, pour que Kelly Reichardt LE CENTRE POMPIDOU en devienne une représentante majeure, avec Old Joy et surtout Wendy et Lucy. Interrogeant toujours les constructions de la société américaine au présent, dans le thriller écologique Night Moves, comme dans les portraits croisés de Certaines femmes, Kelly Reichardt remonte également à leurs origines avec deux westerns, La Dernière piste et son nouveau fi lm First Cow, qui font un autre récit de la conquête de l’Ouest, du capitalisme et de l’individualisme naissants, depuis leurs marges. Judith Revault d’Allonnes Cette rétrospective est proposée en régions par l’ADRC, aux côtés des distributeurs, en partenariat avec le Centre Pompidou à l’occasion de l’événement Kelly Reichardt, l’Amérique retraversée du 14 au 24 octobre 2021, en présence de la cinéaste, dans le cadre du Festival d’Automne à Paris.

[Music fades out.] 00:00:12 Music Transition “Huddle Formation” from the album Thunder, Lightning, Strike by The Go! Team. A fast, upbeat, peppy song. Music plays as Jesse speaks, then fades out. 00:00:20 Jesse Host Coming to you from my home office, in Los Angeles, California—it’s Thorn Bullseye. I’m Jesse Thorn. Kelly Reichardt has been a filmmaker for more than two decades. When she’s not directing and writing movies, she is a teacher at Bard College. Her films are quiet. She usually shoots them in Oregon and films on location, typically on shoe-string budget. And odds are, if you’ve seen a movie that she’s made, you care really deeply about her work. She’s that kind of director. Maybe you loved Wendy and Lucy or Old Joy or Meek’s Cutoff—a western told from the perspective of the female settlers on the Oregon Trail. In it, the actors don’t talk much. The camera just kind of takes in the landscape, which is—of course—beautiful. Her work often brings out the human nature of her characters in a surprising and beautiful way. There’s a meditative quality to watching her films. She’s got a new movie. It’s called First Cow. Like Meek’s Cutoff, it’s also set in the American West, around the 1820s.
