    • Sunday, July 15 5:30 pm

    Natalia Almada (Mexico, 2011). Almada, whose last film, El general, was a favorite at Sundance, follows an impassive watchman who minds the ever-expanding graveyard in the notoriously narco-friendly city of Cualican, Sinaloa. “An unsettlingly quiet, even lyrical film about a world made and unmade by violence" (A.O. Scott, NY Times). (72 mins)

    • Sunday, July 8 5:15 pm

    Mojtaba Mirtahmasb, Jafar Panahi (Iran, 2011). Renowned Iranian director Panahi shares his day-to-day life in this documentary, shot clandestinely in his Tehran apartment by his close friend Mirtahmasb after he was banned from filmmaking for supporting the opposition party in Iran's 2009 presidential election. “A masterpiece in a form that does not yet exist” (NY Times). (75 mins)

  • Gerhard Richter Painting

    • Saturday, July 7 6:30 pm

    Corinna Belz (Germany, 2011). Gerhard Richter Painting offers an insider's view into one of the world's greatest living painters.

  • Weekend

    • Friday, July 6 9:05 pm

    Jean-Luc Godard (France, 1967) New 35mm Print! A surreally funny and deeply disturbing expression of social oblivion that ended the first phase of Godard's career. “(Godard's) best film, and his most inventive. It is almost pure movie” (Roger Ebert). (105 mins)
