Bamcinématek Presents Sneak Previews from IFC Films BAMcinématek goes Home for the Holidays— a seven-film series of not-so-festive auteurist Christmases, Dec 15—20 Opens with a new DCP remaster of Joe Dante’s Gremlins; all other features in 35mm The Wall Street Journal is the title sponsor of BAM Rose Cinemas and BAMcinématek. Brooklyn, NY/Nov 30, 2012—BAMcinématek closes its calendar year with Home for the Holidays (Dec 15—20), a seven-film series of not-so-festive auteurist Christmas fare through the lenses of Minnelli, Huston, Kubrick, Waters, Dante, avant-garde master Jerome Hill, and a guy named Theodore. The series opens with Joe Dante’s Gremlins (1984—Dec 15) in a DCP remaster; unfortunately, all extant 35mm prints at the Warner Bros. archive were eaten by Gremlins shortly after their projection booth rampage. In Dante’s inspired It’s a Wonderful Life-parody-cum-monster movie, chaos gleefully reigns over Christmas in the little town of Kingston Falls. When Billy Peltzer breaks the rules in caring for his furry pet mogwai Gizmo (voiced by mysophobic comedian-turned- game show host Howie Mandel), he adds insult to injury for his grinchy girlfriend, played by Phoebe Cates (“you say you hate Christmas and people treat you like a leper”). Gremlins is chock-full of cameos including Steven Spielberg, Robby the Robot, Chuck Jones, and Red Skelton. In Vincente Minnelli’s beloved Meet Me in St. Louis (1944—Dec 16), the mounting tension in the Smith family culminates with tiny terror Margaret O’Brien decapitating her father’s snowman stand-in on the front lawn, but Judy Garland manages to calm her beastly little sister with her debut of the now-holiday standard “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.” Also screening is the yuletide horror gem Silent Night Bloody Night (1974—Dec 18), in which a young Massachusettsan—who might as well be named Tagg Romney—inherits a mansion that was once an institution for the criminally insane and tries to sell it to the town, which is populated by a bevy of Warhol Factory regulars (including cult icon Mary Woronov, Candy Darling, Ondine, and Jack Smith) who are all the while being hunted by a deranged killer. “I hate you, I hate this house, and I hate Christmas!” says Divine as Dawn Davenport in Female Trouble (1974—Dec 18)—John Waters’ self-proclaimed favorite of his films and follow-up to Pink Flamingos—who wants nothing more for Christmas than a pair of cha- cha heels. The series closes with two final films: John Huston’s The Dead (1987—Dec 19), in which he takes on Joyce’s modernist short story featuring daughter Anjelica and a screenplay adaptation by son Tony, and Stanley Kubrick’s Eyes Wide Shut (1999—Dec 20), which was touted as the Christmas movie of 1999, though it was released during the summer—talk about Christmas in July! Kubrick’s swan song screens with experimental auteur and Anthology Film Archives founder Jerome Hill’s haunting mini-masterpiece Merry Christmas, in which painted spectres of Mary and Joseph on a donkey get turned away from the Algonquin Hotel. Moving from the perverse to the sublime and back again, this series is sure to make for one schizoid holiday season. Please note that BAMcinématek will be on hiatus from December 21 through February 7. For press information, please contact: Gabriele Caroti at 718.724.8024 / [email protected] Lisa Thomas at 718.724.8023 / [email protected] Home for the Holidays Schedule Sat, Dec 15 6:50, 9:15pm: Gremlins Sun, Dec 16 2, 4:30, 6:50, 9:15pm: Meet Me in St. Louis Tue, Dec 18 4:30, 9:15pm: Female Trouble 6:50pm: Silent Night, Bloody Night Wed, Dec 19 4:30, 6:50, 9:15pm: The Dead Thu, Dec 20 4:30, 8pm: Eyes Wide Shut + Merry Christmas Film Descriptions The Dead (1987) 83min Directed by John Huston. With With Anjelica Huston, Donal McCann, Dan O'Herlihy, Donal Donnelly, Helena Carroll. John Huston directed his long-gestating final film, a lyrical adaptation of James Joyce’s seemingly unfilmable short masterpiece, from a wheelchair while he was on death’s door. Adapted by his son Tony and co-starring his daughter Anjelica, The Dead takes place in turn-of-the-century Dublin at Christmastime. The affluent Gabriel and Gretta Conroy see their comfortable bourgeois marriage take an unsuspecting turn when Gretta reveals a haunting love from her youth. Wed, Dec 19 at 4:30, 6:50, 9:15pm Eyes Wide Shut (1999) 165min Directed by Stanley Kubrick. With Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman, Sydney Pollack, Todd Field, Marie Richardson. For his final masterpiece, Kubrick created a daydream of Manhattan on a UK soundstage and cast a real- life super couple from mainstream cinema, enhancing the unreality of this film, which plays like one long, sinister erotic fantasy. A physician (Cruise) wanders the streets of New York following confessions from his wife (Kidman), which leads to a series of ethereal sexual provocations. Thu, Dec 20 at 4:30, 8pm **With Merry Christmas (1967-1969). Directed by Jerome Hill. Female Trouble (1974) 89min Directed by John Waters. With Divine, David Lochary, Mary Vivian Pearce, Mink Stole, Edith Massey. “I hate you, I hate this house and I hate Christmas!” All that Dawn Davenport (Divine) wants for Christmas is a pair of cha-cha heels. When Santa fails to deliver, she embarks on a path of felony and depravity that ultimately leads to an electrifying demise. Never funnier, Waters still revels in trash, but embraces narrative coherence as never before, and with a dazzling performance by his plus-size diva Divine, crafts a moving piece of melodrama about American society’s sordid underbelly. Tue, Dec 18 at 4:30, 9:15pm Gremlins (1984) 106min New DCP remaster! Directed by Joe Dante. With Zach Galligan, Hoyt Axton, Frances Lee McCain, Phoebe Cates, Polly Holliday. Of course it’s a Christmas movie! Do you even have to ask? Dante’s inspired pairing of It’s a Wonderful Life and monster movie is a hilarious ride, as Galligan receives a cuddly new pet, ignores the instruction manual, and sees chaos erupt in his small town as a result. Sat, Dec 15 at 6:50, 9:15pm Meet Me in St. Louis (1944) 113min Directed by Vincente Minnelli. With Judy Garland, Margaret O'Brien, Mary Astor, Lucille Bremer, Leon Ames. This beloved musical follows the middle-class Smith family in anticipation of the arrival of the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair. Garland debuts standards like “The Trolley Song” and “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas,” while director Minnelli’s ravishing mise-en-scène evokes an era gone by, including one of his most spellbinding set pieces: the fantastical Halloween sequence as seen through the eyes of young Margaret O’Brien. Sun, Dec 16 at 2, 4:30, 6:50, 9:15pm Silent Night, Bloody Night (1973) 88min Directed by Theodore Gershuny. With Patrick O'Neal, James Patterson, Mary Woronov, John Carradine. Horror film vet Mary Woronov (who appeared on BAMcinématek’s screens earlier this year in Night of the Comet) narrates this holiday frightfest. A young man inherits a spooky mansion that was once the mental asylum where his grandfather mysteriously set himself on fire—after everyone else in the family had gone crazy or died. What self-respecting spooky mansion in a horror film isn’t a former mental home? When he tries to sell the house to the town and level it, things go badly. Tue, Dec 18 at 6:50pm About BAMcinématek The four-screen BAM Rose Cinemas (BRC) opened in 1998 to offer Brooklyn audiences alternative and independent films that might not play in the borough otherwise, making BAM the only performing arts center in the country with two mainstage theaters and a multiplex cinema. In July 1999, beginning with a series celebrating the work of Spike Lee, BAMcinématek was born as Brooklyn’s only daily, year-round repertory film program.

BAMcinématek has not only presented major retrospectives by major filmmakers such as Michelangelo Antonioni, Manoel de Oliveira, Shohei Imamura, Vincente Minnelli (winning a National Film Critics’ Circle Award prize for the retrospective) Kaneto Shindo, Luchino Visconti, , but it has also introduced New York audiences to contemporary artists such as Pedro Costa and Apichatpong Weerasethakul. In addition, BAMcinématek programmed the first US retrospectives of directors Arnaud Desplechin, Nicolas Winding Refn, Hong Sang-soo, and, most recently, Andrzej Zulawski. From 2006 to 2008, BAMcinématek partnered with the Sundance Institute and in June 2009 launched BAMcinemaFest, a 16-day festival of new independent films and repertory favorites with 15 NY feature film premieres; the fourth annual BAMcinemaFest, with over 20 NY premieres and one North American premiere, ran from June 20—July 1, 2012.

  • The Role of Irish-Language Film in Irish National Cinema Heather
    Finding a Voice: The Role of Irish-Language Film in Irish National Cinema Heather Macdougall A Thesis in the PhD Humanities Program Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Concordia University Montreal, Quebec, Canada August 2012 © Heather Macdougall, 2012 ABSTRACT Finding a Voice: The Role of Irish-Language Film in Irish National Cinema Heather Macdougall, Ph.D. Concordia University, 2012 This dissertation investigates the history of film production in the minority language of Irish Gaelic. The objective is to determine what this history reveals about the changing roles of both the national language and national cinema in Ireland. The study of Irish- language film provides an illustrative and significant example of the participation of a minority perspective within a small national cinema. It is also illustrates the potential role of cinema in language maintenance and revitalization. Research is focused on policies and practices of filmmaking, with additional consideration given to film distribution, exhibition, and reception. Furthermore, films are analysed based on the strategies used by filmmakers to integrate the traditional Irish language with the modern medium of film, as well as their motivations for doing so. Research methods included archival work, textual analysis, personal interviews, and review of scholarly, popular, and trade publications. Case studies are offered on three movements in Irish-language film. First, the Irish- language organization Gael Linn produced documentaries in the 1950s and 1960s that promoted a strongly nationalist version of Irish history while also exacerbating the view of Irish as a “private discourse” of nationalism. Second, independent filmmaker Bob Quinn operated in the Irish-speaking area of Connemara in the 1970s; his fiction films from that era situated the regional affiliations of the language within the national context.

  • Bamcinématek Presents Joe Dante at the Movies, 18 Days of 40 Genre-Busting Films, Aug 5—24
    BAMcinématek presents Joe Dante at the Movies, 18 days of 40 genre-busting films, Aug 5—24 “One of the undisputed masters of modern genre cinema.” —Tom Huddleston, Time Out London Dante to appear in person at select screenings Aug 5—Aug 7 The Wall Street Journal is the title sponsor for BAMcinématek and BAM Rose Cinemas. Jul 18, 2016/Brooklyn, NY—From Friday, August 5, through Wednesday, August 24, BAMcinématek presents Joe Dante at the Movies, a sprawling collection of Dante’s essential film and television work along with offbeat favorites hand-picked by the director. Additionally, Dante will appear in person at the August 5 screening of Gremlins (1984), August 6 screening of Matinee (1990), and the August 7 free screening of rarely seen The Movie Orgy (1968). Original and unapologetically entertaining, the films of Joe Dante both celebrate and skewer American culture. Dante got his start working for Roger Corman, and an appreciation for unpretentious, low-budget ingenuity runs throughout his films. The series kicks off with the essential box-office sensation Gremlins (1984—Aug 5, 8 & 20), with Zach Galligan and Phoebe Cates. Billy (Galligan) finds out the hard way what happens when you feed a Mogwai after midnight and mini terrors take over his all-American town. Continuing the necessary viewing is the “uninhibited and uproarious monster bash,” (Michael Sragow, New Yorker) Gremlins 2: The New Batch (1990—Aug 6 & 20). Dante’s sequel to his commercial hit plays like a spoof of the original, with occasional bursts of horror and celebrity cameos. In The Howling (1981), a news anchor finds herself the target of a shape-shifting serial killer in Dante’s take on the werewolf genre.

Starting around 30 years ago, during the same time in the 1980’s that queer theory became a prominent academic discipline, queer cinema seems to encompass all films that deal with gay and lesbian themes, or ‘LGBT’ to use a recent term. As these themes focus mainly on the sexuality of the characters and their struggles in a ‘straight’ world because of it, there appears to be a major centring around desires, be it sexual or something else. If a desire is not desirable in heteronormative society, ‘queer’ is the right word for it. This thesis’ main focus is this notion of queer desires. By focusing on this aspect of the queer, I will show just how these desires can shape queer cinema and provide a unique framework for the analysis of the modern queer film.

  • Monday 25 July 2016, London. Ahead of Kirk Douglas' 100Th Birthday This
    Monday 25 July 2016, London. Ahead of Kirk Douglas’ 100th birthday this December, BFI Southbank pay tribute to this major Hollywood star with a season of 20 of his greatest films, running from 1 September – 4 October 2016. Over the course of his sixty year career, Douglas became known for playing iconic action heroes, and worked with the some of the greatest Hollywood directors of the 1940s and 1950s including Billy Wilder, Howard Hawks, Vincente Minnelli and Stanley Kubrick. Films being screened during the season will include musical drama Young Man with a Horn (Michael Curtiz, 1949) alongside Lauren Bacall and Doris Day, Stanley Kubrick’s epic Spartacus (1960), Champion (Mark Robson, 1949) for which he received the first of three Oscar® nominations for Best Actor, and the sci- fi family favourite 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (Richard Fleischer, 1954). The season will kick off with a special discussion event Kirk Douglas: The Movies, The Muscles, The Dimple; this event will see a panel of film scholars examine Douglas’ performances and star persona, and explore his particular brand of Hollywood masculinity. Also included in the season will be a screening of Seven Days in May (John Frankenheimer, 1964) which Douglas starred in opposite Ava Gardner; the screening will be introduced by English Heritage who will unveil a new blue plaque in honour of Ava Gardner at her former Knightsbridge home later this year. Born Issur Danielovich into a poor immigrant family in New York State, Kirk Douglas began his path to acting success on a special scholarship at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York City, where he met Betty Joan Perske (later to become better known as Lauren Bacall), who would play an important role in helping to launch his film career.

  • John Waters (Writer/Director)
    John Waters (Writer/Director) Born in Baltimore, MD in 1946, John Waters was drawn to movies at an early age, particularly exploitation movies with lurid ad campaigns. He subscribed to Variety at the age of twelve, absorbing the magazine's factual information and its lexicon of insider lingo. This early education would prove useful as the future director began his career giving puppet shows for children's birthday parties. As a teen-ager, Waters began making 8-mm underground movies influenced by the likes of Jean-Luc Godard, Walt Disney, Andy Warhol, Russ Meyer, Ingmar Bergman, and Herschell Gordon Lewis. Using Baltimore, which he fondly dubbed the "Hairdo Capitol of the World," as the setting for all his films, Waters assembled a cast of ensemble players, mostly native Baltimoreans and friends of long standing: Divine, David Lochary, Mary Vivian Pearce, Mink Stole and Edith Massey. Waters also established lasting relationships with key production people, such as production designer Vincent Peranio, costume designer Van Smith, and casting director Pat Moran, helping to give his films that trademark Waters "look." Waters made his first film, an 8-mm short, Hag in a Black Leather Jacket in 1964, starring Mary Vivian Pearce. Waters followed with Roman Candles in 1966, the first of his films to star Divine and Mink Stole. In 1967, he made his first 16-mm film with Eat Your Makeup, the story of a deranged governess and her lover who kidnap fashion models and force them to model themselves to death. Mondo Trasho, Waters' first feature length film, was completed in 1969 despite the fact that the production ground to a halt when the director and two actors were arrested for "participating in a misdemeanor, to wit: indecent exposure." In 1970, Waters completed what he described as his first "celluloid atrocity," Multiple Maniacs.
