United Kingdom | 2015 | Stevan Riley
Tonight we open our brand new Peter B. Lewis Theater at 11610 Euclid Avenue with the Midwest premiere of what is certain to be one of the most acclaimed, talked about, and written about films of 2015! Listen to Me Marlon is a portrait of Marlon Brando unlike any other.

United States | 1942 | Michael Curtiz
This beloved movie was the overwhelming choice for “first [regular] film that the Cinematheque should show in its new auditorium” in our recent audience poll. So tonight we’re showing it. But not just once to meet our obligation. We’re showing Casablanca twice: from 35mm film at 7:00 pm and from DCP (digital cinema package) at 9:15 pm. So you can choose which format you prefer. Or you can catch both screenings and compare the formats!...

Italy | 1945 | Roberto Rossellini
Anna Magnani and Aldo Fabrizi star in the riveting film that introduced Italian neorealism to the world. Shot on salvaged scraps of film stock at the end of WWII on actual locations with many nonprofessional actors, this gritty drama focuses on the heroic work of Resistance fighters who undermined fascism during the Nazi Occupation of Rome and Italy. Federico Fellini co-wrote the screenplay.

This Is 4K! New 4K Digital Restoration! The Apu Trilogy, Part 1
India | 1955 | Satyajit Ray
The late, great Indian filmmaker Satyajit Ray (1921-1992) is one of the undisputed masters of world cinema; he won a special lifetime achievement Oscar in 1992 shortly before his death. Ray began his career with his signature achievement, the “Apu Trilogy,” a three-part chronicle of the early life of a Bengali village boy, Apu, from a poor family. (We watch him grow from childhood to young adulthood.) The three films always rank high on lists...

France, Germany, Norway, Sweden | 2014 | Roy Andersson
Winner of the Golden Lion for Best Film at the 2014 Venice Int’l Film Festival, this mordantly funny comedy from Sweden’s Roy Andersson concludes a trilogy begun with Songs from the Second Floor (2000) and You, the Living (2007). Like those previous masterpieces, Pigeon consists of a series of painterly, fixed-camera tableaux (37 to be exact) in which pasty-faced everymen enact the absurdist, deadpan slapstick of being human. We see salesmen sell, lovers neck, people...

France, United Kingdom | 1979 | Roman Polanski
Nominated for six Academy Awards (including Best Picture) and winner of three, Roman Polanski’s film version of Thomas Hardy’s Tess of the d’Urbervilles is one of his most beautiful and delicate works. 17-year-old Nastassja Kinski plays a peasant girl in late 19th-century England who finds herself victimized by her “cousin” and later trapped by Victorian social conventions.

France, Germany, Italy | 1994 | Patrice Chéreau

United Kingdom | 1951 | Michael Powell, Emeric Pressburger
To say that Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger’s film adaptation of Jacques Offenbach’s operetta is their most colorful, lavish, and over-the-top film is saying a lot; this was the team that previously made Black Narcissus, The Red Shoes, and A Matter of Life and Death (aka Stairway to Heaven)! Moira Shearer of The Red Shoes also stars in this bold, sensuous, and sometimes bonkers fusion of music, dance, and cinema that tells three fantastical stories...
