What the Hell Happened to Blood, Sweat, & Tears?
2023-05-15 18:30 - 20:30 (America/New_York)
Join us for a special Meet the Filmmaker event, with a talkback featuring Karen Vock (Crew Neck Productions) about their work on the film.
In 1970, Blood, Sweat and Tears was one of the biggest bands in the world. They had exploded on the scene with both daring and promise, selling millions of records, winning multiple Grammy Awards including Album of the Year (beating out The Beatles’ Abbey Road) and headlining the legendary Woodstock festival. In demand for concert and TV appearances, BS&T was a darling of the mainstream and rock press, icon of the counterculture and inspiration for a generation of horn-based bands. Their future was limitless. And then it all went wrong. Created with the full cooperation of Blood, Sweat and Tears, this feature documentary will overflow with great music, international political intrigue, compelling human moments, humor and fresh insight into this strange never-before-told story of a tangle with the Nixon administration, a controversial tour behind the Iron Curtain that put them in the crossfire of a polarized America and a lost tour documentary that might just explain it all.

Sometimes Aunt Martha Does Dreadful Things
2023-06-02 23:59
Celebrate Pride Month in the freakiest way possible, with this overlooked, chapter of early queer cinema!
Dropping somewhere between PINK FLAMINGOS, BLOOD FEAST, and an episode of THE BRADY BUNCH on acid, SOMETIMES AUNT MARTHA DOES DREADFUL THINGS is a histrionic psychodrama that could only have originated in the alternate dimension known as Florida. After robbing a bank in Baltimore, Paul (aka Aunt Martha) and his partner Stanley hide out in the Miami suburbs. But it’s only a matter of time before Paul’s paranoia forces him to embark on a demented killing spree. Hardly progressive, even for its era, the film is a remarkable curio as it was a production destined for the regional drive-in movie circuit and marketed as a crime drama. What must audiences have thought as they watched two men (one dressed as a woman, to avoid being recognized in public) spend 90 minutes arguing like an “old married couple” and sharing a single twin bed when there was a whole house up for grabs!?! The American Genre Film Archive is thrilled to present one of the most unforgettable exploitation movies of all time—preserved from the only 35mm theatrical print in existence.

Getting it Back: The Story of Cymande

Special Juneteenth Event
Join us for live music by John Lee Wyatt at Eden Bar from 6:30-9:30PM, courtesy of Performing Arts Matter!

They’re the greatest band you’ve never heard of…
The British group Cymande are unsung heroes whose message of peace, love and funk sailed beyond Britain’s shores and helped shape music for five decades. Long after they stopped playing, the music played on, so they returned to play some more.
In the racially turbulent UK of the early 70s, a group of black musicians came together in South London with a common love of rhythms and a message of peace. Cymande – with the dove as their symbol – combined jazz, funk, soul and Caribbean grooves to form a unique sound. Despite success in the USA they faced indifference in their native Britain, becoming disillusioned and disbanding. But the music lived on, as new generations of artists imbibed and reworked their pioneering sounds in fresh ways. From Soul II Soul to De La Soul, MC Solaar to The Fugees, the Dove had spread Cymande‘s message far and wide, prompting their return after forty years. This is their story.

Robot Monster (in 3-D)
2023-07-07 23:59 - 2023-07-08 02:00
It’s the end of the Hu-Man race as we know it! Alien visitor Ro-Man (regular gorilla impersonator George Barrows, wearing a hairy ape suit and a deep-sea diving helmet), wipes out most of the Earth’s population with his “awesome calcinator death ray.” There are six survivors who have taken a neutralizing serum: a scientist, a professor, the professor’s wife, and their three children. Ro-Man receives instructions from the leader of his planet, “The Great One” (also played by Barrows), on how to kill the survivors, but love gets in the way when Ro-Man falls for the professor’s comely eldest daughter. With echoes of King Kong, Ro-Man’s lustful desire makes him want to be Hu-Man too, and this will lead to his downfall. Made for a budget around $20,000, this cheapie camp classic just gets more ludicrous – and fun – with every sequence. Part of the first wave of 3-D releases in early 1953, Robot Monster’s excellent stereoscopic effects have been lovingly restored by 3-D Film Archive in honor of the movie’s 70th anniversary.

American Naval officer Pinkerton is stationed in Japan and decides to wed the teenage geisha Cio-Cio San, called Butterfly. Unbeknownst to the young bride, this officer is looking merely for a marriage of convenience. She falls promptly and swiftly in love, even converting to Christianity in order to be a better wife. Yet, storm clouds gather on the horizon: at the wedding, an uninvited guest curses the couple.
Pinkerton leaves, and Cio-Cio San is left alone to bear his child. Suzuki, Cio-Cio San’s maid, insists that the officer will never return, but Butterfly will not believe it. Her faith is seemingly justified one day when Pinkerton’s ship indeed sails into the harbour.
However, Pinkerton has brought an American wife with him, and Butterfly is expected to give up her child. She agrees to do so, but only if he comes in person to see her. He arrives to find that she has committed ritual suicide with her father’s knife.
The most loved aria from this opera is ‘Un bel di vedremo,’ sung by Butterfly as she pines for Pinkerton’s return.

“If we weep from emotion on hearing it, it’s nothing to be ashamed of.” That is what Richard Wagner said about Vincenzo Bellini’s most famous opera, which he considered the most perfect example of a musical tragedy. And rightly so, because in Norma Italian Romanticism reached its pinnacle.
This production, by award-winning American stage director Kevin Newbury, stresses the ritual aspects of the drama. Norma is a classical heroine, passionate and revengeful, and her dilemma provides the starting point for the most successful work by the last and greatest composer of bel canto. Though the first performance was a failure, Norma went on to become an established favorite. It first came to the Liceu in 1847, not long after its official opening, and was, in fact, the third opera to be staged there.

Brand New 4K Restoration!
Headed home after a wild night at a Los Angeles club, young lovers Jordan White (James Duval) and Amy Blue (Rose McGowan) pick up a dangerously handsome drifter named Xavier Red (Johnathon Schaech). Jordan doesn’t see a problem with offering Xavier a quick ride, but his acid-tongued girlfriend thinks he’s a creep. When Xavier inadvertently kills a convenience store clerk, they are forced to go on the run, traversing a bizarre and ultra-violent America. Somehow, every random thug, drive-thru operator, and neo-Nazi they encounter seem to recognize Amy as a past fling or alter ego, adding to the already explosive sexual tension brimming among the renegade trio.
Restored in 4K with scenes edited for its theatrical release in 1995, this version reflects the director’s cut. Special thanks to Gregg Araki and Strand Releasing.
