When the amazing King Kong was unleashed onto moviegoers 80 years ago there truly was no cinematic event that matched its grand scale and unbridled imagination. This thrilling tale of a band of intrepid filmmakers, and a young actress Fay( Wray), who discover a giant ape on a remote island, then bring him back to New York with disastrous results is awe-inspiring, but what sets King Kong apart and helps it achieve its all-time classic status is a simple story wrought with complicated themes and emotions, much of which is embodied in the vivid performance of Fay Wray, the hypnotic beauty that steals Kong’s heart. FAY WRAY AND ROBERT RISKIN: A HOLLYWOOD MEMOIR is a Hollywood love story, a Hollywood memoir, a dual biography of two of Hollywood’s most famous figures, whose golden lives were lived at the center of Hollywood’s golden age, written by their daughter, an acclaimed writer and producer. Fay Wray and Robert Riskin lived large lives, finding each other after establishing their artistic selves and after each had had many romantic attachments—Wray, an eleven-year-long difficult marriage and a fraught affair with , and Riskin, a series of romances with, among others, Carole Lombard, Glenda Farrell, and Loretta Young. Here are Wray’s and Riskin’s lives, their work, their fairy-tale marriage that ended so tragically. Here are their dual, quintessential American lives, ultimately and blissfully intertwined. "How would you like to star opposite the tallest, darkest leading man in Hollywood?" Enticed by these words, brunette leading lady Fay Wray dyed her hair blonde and accepted the role of Ann Darrow in King Kong -- and stayed with the project even after learning that her "leading man" was a 50-foot ape.

THE HITCH-HIKER Starring Edmund O'Brien Monday, April 8 at 7:30 pm | Members $11 | Public $16 With music by Moontide

Beyond its obvious cultural significance as the only classic film noir directed by a woman (actress-turned-pioneering filmmaker Ida Lupino), The Hitch-Hiker is perhaps better remembered as simply one of the most nightmarish motion pictures of the 1950s. Inspired by the true-life murder spree of Billy Cook, The Hitch-Hiker is the tension-laden saga of two men on a camping trip (Edmond O'Brien and Frank Lovejoy) who are held captive by a homicidal drifter (William Talman). He forces them, at gunpoint, to embark on a grim joyride across the Mexican desert. Renegade filmmaking at its finest, The Hitch-Hiker was independently produced, which allowed Lupino and ex-husband/producer Collier Young to work from a treatment by blacklisted writer Daniel Mainwaring (Invasion of the Body Snatchers), and tackle an incident that was too brutal for the major studios to even consider. (USA, 1953, 71 Mins., NR, English & Spanish | Dir. Ida Lupino) Brand new restoration of movie-star-turned-pioneering filmmaker Ida Lupino's chilling film noir classic about two men on a camping trip who are held captive by a homicidal drifter.

SKY ROOM TALK BLACKFACE: Dominant Culture Representation of the Other Wednesday, April 10 at 7:30 pm | Members $11 | Public $16 With Professor Bill Jennings

A descendant of the institution of slavery, blackface was once widely accepted, even celebrated as mainstream, and still lingers today, a vivid reminder of racism. Blackface co-opted black identity for mockery in minstrel shows and propaganda, limiting the rights of African-Americans to self-representation, even in showbiz. Through close analysis of film excerpts from Hollywood movies, including D.W. Griffith’sBirth of a Nation (1915), Professor Bill Jennings' lively and eye-opening presentation will contextualize such depictions, and examine how the dominant culture in the attempts to define the racial characteristics of the other. It was then with great irony that blackface moved into the mainstream by way of , a civil-rights activist. His subversion led to the inclusion of black performers onscreen, who would also have to don blackface. Blackface has since left its stain on society, developing different modes of humiliation for Asian Americans, Native Americans, and Latinx, excluding none. Jennings will also list varied examples of how these othered definitions contribute to maintaining social and economic power today. Although many want to think of blackface as something gone and better forgotten, recent events have again revealed that it is an inescapable piece of America's tangled racial politics. For those looking to be informed on what blackface is, and why blackface is, we are joined by Professor Bill Jennings for a lively and eye-opening Blackface 101, tracing this bizarre American institution from its origins to the present day, where blackface is not just disgraced politicians but newly coined 'blackfishing,' as exemplified by Rachel Dolezal, the Kardashians, and your fave popstars like Ariana Grande. 12 Anything But Silent with Electronic Score by Coupler

Yasujiro Ozu’s (Hijosen no onna) DRAGNET GIRL Thursday, April 11 at 7:30 pm | Members $11 | Public $16

This accomplished and psychologically complex gangster tale pivots on the growing attraction between Joji, a hardened career criminal, and Kazuko, the sweet-natured older sister of a newly initiated hoodlum—a relationship that provokes the jealousy of Joji’s otherwise patient moll, Tokiko, who is determined to win Joji back no matter the cost. With effortlessly cool performances and visual inventiveness, Dragnet Girl is a masterpiece from Yasujirō Ozu. Although Ozu's reputation as one of the greatest filmmakers in history is mostly based on his quiet dramas about Japanese family life like his legendary 1953 Story (rated third in the most recent British Film Institute poll of the greatest films of all time), a number of his early classics were stylish crime thrillers like the brilliant Dragnet Girl. (Japan, 1933, 100 mins, NR, Silent with English Intertitles | Dir.Yasujiro Ozu) Coupler is less a band than a creative organization. Founded in 2011 by Lambchop veteran Ryan Norris, its core is Norris along with Rodrigo Avendaño and Rollum Haas, though its membership has at points swelled to as many as eight. At its root, the project is an exercise in mutual cooperation of creative individuals and is an exploration of the intersections of man and machine, live and recorded, composed and improvised, stasis and flux. Their latest release, Gifts from the Ebb Tide, sits at the center of severalrecords that were gestating concurrently and shares DNA with each of them: HeCTA’s The Diet, Lambchop’s FLOTUS and Coupler’s Blue Room Sessions. A mesmerizing new electronic music score by Coupler highlights this rare screening of Yasujirō Ozu's stylish thriller about a gangster whose search for redemption with the inadvertent help of an innocent shop girl provokes the jealousy of his longtime girlfriend.

THE RED KIMONA Tuesday, April 16 at 7:30 pm | $11 Members | $16 Public

New digital restoration! The Red Kimona was the result of an extraordinary collaboration between three important women: Adela Rogers St. John, (who wrote the story) and Dorothy Davenport Reid, who co-directed and produced. While St. John and Arzner became better known over the years, it is the unjustly neglected Reid who brought THE RED KIMONA to the screen. Writer, producer, director, and actress Davenport Reid made a splash in the 1920s with a string of socially conscious, taboo- shattering exposés, including this ripped-from-the-headlines shocker about a woman forced into a life of prostitution. Davenport herself said: “I believe it takes a woman to believe in a woman’s motives, and every story intended for the screen should have a woman working on it at some stage to convince the audience of women.” The Red Kimona is based on the infamous true story of Gabrielle Darley, who was tricked into a life of prostitution and put on trial for the murder of her pimp/lover. Gabrielle (Priscilla Bonner) is a young woman who’s swept off her feet by a handsome stranger, who abandons her in New Orleans's red-light district. After she sees him buying an engagement ring for another woman, she shoots him. When the story of her trial becomes infamous, Gabrielle finds herself befriended by a rich socialite with motives of her own. Davenport Reid directed or produced several films into the early thirties, after which she became a successful writer and production assistant working in Hollywood through the fifties.(USA, 1925, 77 Mins, NR, Silent with English Intertitles | Dir. Walter Lang & Dorothy Davenport Reid) From pioneering filmmaker Dorothy Davenport Reid, a ripped-from-the-headlines shocker about a woman forced into a life of prostitution whose trial for killing her pimp became a tabloid sensation. 13 JOHN CARDASIS PHOTO EXHIBIT Sunday, April 14, 12:30 - 4:30 pm| Free

Before the arrival of Miami Vice and MTV Spring Break, South Beach was home to the largest cluster of Jewish retirees in the country. Drawn by the small apartments, low cost of living, sunny weather, and thriving cultural life, they came by the thousands seeking refuge from the Northeast's brutal winters. By the 1970s, these former New Yorkers had turned from seasonal visitors to year-round residents, making Miami Beach home to a population that was primarily over 70 and overwhelmingly Jewish. The Last Resort revisits iconic Miami Beach of the 1970’s through the ambitious and captivating work of Andy Sweet and Gary Monroe, two young photographers who captured this aging population for a decade, even as Miami transformed around them. (USA, 2018, 70 Mins., NR, English | Kareem Tabsch & Dennis Scholl). An uncannily revealing portrait of American photographers Andy Sweet and Gary Monroe and the vibrant community of Jewish retirees they obsessively focused their camera's lens on in the sunburned paradise of 1970s Miami Beach.

WOMAN AT WAR Monday, April 22 at 7:30 pm Members $7 | Public $12

Halla (Halldóra Geirharðsdóttir) has just learned she's been approved to adopt a child from a war-torn area in Ukraine, a long- time dream of hers. The only hitch is that she's an eco-terrorist. The proliferation of heavy industry, urged on by unscrupulous politicians, has been ruining Iceland's rugged landscape, and she's taken action. Halla soon becomes the scourge of the aluminum industry and is determined to see things through, but she can't help wondering: would it be more fulfilling to save hypothetical future lives or the life of the daughter she has yet to meet? Benedikt Erlingsson's second feature drills deep into the inevitable dilemmas plaguing almost everyone committed to the greater good. The political satire here is precise and rich. It's evident in the sleazy way the powers that be stoop to demonize Halla. At the same time, there's a puckish, postmodernist sense of humor percolating through the film. A tiny band follows Halla everywhere she goes, reminding us that the revolution should be hopeful, not just gloom and doom. And it should come with cool music. (Iceland, 2019, 101 Mins., NR, Icelandic, Spanish, English, Ukrainian | Dir. Benedikt Erlingsson) A stylish political satire about a woman who risks everything to protect her home in the highlands of Iceland by waging a one woman war on the local aluminum industry that has been disfiguring her country. 16 REEFER MADNESS: DISPELLING THE MYTH Wednesday, April 24 at 7:30 pm | $11 Members | $16 Public With discussion and reception with Al Smith & friends

By combining great musical entertainment with testimonials from those most powerfully affected by the use of medical marijuana and information from industry leaders, Al Smith & friends created and exciting and meaningful documentary on the issue of marijuana. The film includes several speakers, including Leo Bridgewater, an Army Specialist who served multiple tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, who struggled with PTSD after his honorable discharge. Since then, Bridgewater discovered the power of cannabis and became one of the most prominent activists and entrepreneurs in the tri-state area and beyond. Today, his titles include the Co-founder of the New Jersey Cannabis Commission, and the National Director for Veterans Outreach with the group Minorities for Medical Marijuana. Also included is Rani Soto. Soto’s own battle with cancer left him prescribed opioid-based pain medication and a doctor’s advisory to not consume cannabis. After three months of using his prescribed medicine, and one particularly jarring experience where he lost track of the day, Soto turned to cannabis. Today, cancer-free, he is immersed in the cannabis movement with events like the Cutting Room and serving as the Co-founder of the New Jersey chapter of the networking community CannaGather, as well as Co-founder and COO of the New Jersey-based cannabis accelerator LeafLaunch. Join us for stories, engaging discussion, and more! Produced by Cindy Campbell. Al Smith & Friends' new documentary dispels the myth on medical marijuana and sheds lights on its burgeoning market. The global market for medical marijuana will surpass $31 billion in just 3 years. As more states legalize marijuana for both medical and recreational use, the cannabis industry is mobilizing to serve growing markets. However, very little is being done to creatively engage and entertain people interested in cannabis-related products. Join Al Smith & Friends to discover what little we know.

SKY ROOM TALK Broadsword Calling Danny Boy: WHERE EAGLES DARE Thursday, May 2 at 7:30 pm | Members $11 | Public $16 Author Geoff Dyer in person

Geoff Dyer’s earlier book on film, Zona, was about Andrei Tarkovsky’s Stalker, so it was perhaps inevitable that he should next devote his unique critical and stylistic energies to Brian G. Hutton’s Where Eagles Dare. A thrilling Alpine adventure starring a magnificent, bleary-eyed Richard Burton and a dynamically lethargic Clint Eastwood, Where Eagles Dare is the apex of 1960s World War II movies, by turns enjoyable and preposterous. Where Eagles Dare centers upon a daring rescue and even more daring escape. Disguised as Nazi officers, commandos Burton and Eastwood, along with six other courageous souls parachute behind enemy lines. Their mission: to rescue an American general, held captive in a supposedly impenetrable Alpine castle. Broadsword Calling Danny Boy is Dyer’s hilarious tribute to a film he has loved since childhood: it’s a scene-by-scene analysis— taking us from its snowy, Teutonic opening credits to its vertigo-inducing climax. With a lively mix of clips from Where Eagles Dare, entertaining anecdotes, and humorous analysis, Dyer takes us on a delightful journey through this beloved movie. Join acclaimed author Geoff Dyer for a funny and engaging multi-media exploration of the 1960s World War II movie Where Eagles Dare, a film he has loved since childhood, and the subject of his new book, "Broadsword Calling Danny Boy." 19 Live Music in the Cafe BOBBY ROZARIO AND RUDRA Featuring Premik Russell Tubbs Wednesday, May 1 at 7:30 pm | Members $11| Public $16
