North American Premiere
Mysticism and femininity circle a young woman’s desire to reclaim her history. She asks when she will fall in love, and the answer is elusive: she will have to wait until her world expands.
Occupation of the Inner Life is a meditation on painting, the passage of time, and human relationships. Palestinian painter and filmmaker Rosalind Nashashibi blurs the boundaries between the artist’s gaze and the subject’s perspective. A constellation of symbols trace a story of subjugation, displacement, and resistance within the natural world. The man depicted in a wedding-day watercolour is now elderly, displaced and alone in a London suburb. Here, occupation extends beyond physical violence and despair; it enters the inner life, leaving an entire people suspended between memory, loss, and longing.

American Doctor
One of the most powerful documentaries of the year, this puts us smack in the open wound that is Gaza, filtered through the eyes of three American surgeons (of Palestinian, Jewish and Zoroastrian backgrounds) compelled to do their utmost to alleviate harm.
The History of Concrete
After attending a workshop on pitching saccharine Hallmark movies, John Wilson tries to apply all the same best practices to his documentary about concrete. Frequently absurd and endlessly entertaining detours, asides, and digressions ensue.
La Bola Negra
A big, old-school historical melodrama gets a thrillingly modern, queer makeover from Spanish duo Javier Calvo and Javier Ambrossi, who artfully juggle three gay protagonists across stories set in 1932, 1937, and 2017. Winner: Best Director, Cannes. Screening on 35mm.
A. Rimbaud
Patrick Wang (The Bread Factory) presents the life of French poet Arthur Rimbaud in this staggeringly adventurous and deeply considered movie, a three-hour, one-man show quite unlike anything we have seen before. "Poetic, audacious and singular."
The 39 Steps
In our new film studies series, FRAMEWORK, film scholar Michael van den Bos explores the work of Alfred Hitchcock, across four monochrome masterworks. This week: The 39 Steps (1935), a witty and fast-moving spy thriller from Hitchcock's English period.
