30 years after vanishing at sea, the eponymous fishing vessel mysteriously reappears in the harbor of a seaside village. The astonished local citizens see its return as a sign, convinced the luck of their economically devastated community may turn, if only the ship sails again. Joining the crew are Nick (George MacKay), desperate to provide for his young family, and Liam (Callum Turner), a mysterious drifter eager to escape his past. When they return from their voyage, nothing is as they remember it. Shooting in supersaturated color on a 16mm Bolex and constructing all the sound in post, Mark Jenkin’s hallucinatory time-travel mystery further solidifies him as one of the most singular artists working in film today.

Take One

Monday, June 22 at 9:15: Introduction by programmer KJ Shepherd

In this mind-bending ‘docufantasy’ from legendary Boys in the Sand and Bijou filmmaker Wakefield Poole, a group of real gay men are interviewed about their lives and then have the opportunity to live out their deepest sexual fantasies before the camera. As the film gradually becomes more about the making of itself, multiple layers of fantasy and reality begin to fold in on themselves. From the sweetly romantic to the bizarrely kinky, Take One is a love letter to both San Francisco’s gay community at the height of the liberation era and to the magic of cinema itself and a hidden gem of queer cinema. 2K restoration courtesy of Muscle Distribution.

Hairspray

Thursday, June 25 at 6:30: Q&A with John Waters and special guests after the screening

John Waters and The Criterion Collection present a new 4K restoration of Hairspray sourced from the original 1988 35mm camera negative and the original stereo 35mm magnetic soundtrack.

After decades of pushing the boundaries of bad taste with his underground provocations, John Waters found surprising mainstream success with this infectiously irreverent rock-and-soul comedy. It’s 1962, and the only things bigger than the bouffant hairdos are the popular dance crazes sweeping the nation. When Baltimore teen Tracy Turnblad (Ricki Lake) shoots to stardom on a local TV dance party, her radical self-confidence and support for racial integration launch a movement that takes the city by storm. Costarring the inimitable Divine in a fiercely funny double role, Hairspray finds Waters marrying his wildly subversive sensibility with a newfound bubblegum sweetness for what may be his most irresistible film.

“Hairspray? How did I ever make such a joyous movie about how ugly racism really is? Criterion cements this film’s reputation as the big girls’ happy shriek of political victory, without once preaching to the audience.” — John Waters

New 4K Restoration! 30th Anniversary!

One of the great indie debuts of the 90s, Harron’s curiously moving portrait of the notorious Valerie Solanas (a note-perfect Lili Taylor) captures the outsider feminist revolutionary infamous for her S.C.U.M. Manifesto (an acronym for The Society for Cutting Up Men) and her attempted assasination of the king of Pop Art. With Jared Harris, Martha Plimpton, Michael Imperioli and, as Candy Darling, Stephen Dorff.

 Grand Jury Prize, Sundance; Un Certain Regard Award, Cannes

“If you want to know what the Warhol scene was all about, this is even better than the documentaries.”- Jonathan Rosenbaum, The Chicago Reader

“Scrappy, vibrant, unexpectedly touching…This film’s extraordinary centerpiece is Lili Taylor, giving a great, funny, furiously alive performance.” – The New York Times

She’s the He (Open Captioning)

In an effort to impress their classmates, bumbling high school seniors Ethan (Misha Osherovich) and Alex (Nico Carney) pose as transgender women. Their plan works, but when Ethan realizes she isn’t pretending, the pair must confront their changing friendship, coming-ofage, and coming out. From trans writer/director Siobhan McCarthy and starring a talented young trans and non-binary cast, SHE’S THE HE takes the raunchy teen sex comedy to funny, sweet, and unexpected new places.

“It sounds like a ferocious right wing fever dream, but the result is a meaningful comedy-drama about identity, and the confusion of burgeoning youth.” – Variety

“A refreshing, authentic comedy that’s talking to trans and cis kids alike in a language they’ll immediately recognize as their own.” – AV Club
