THE WOLF HOUR
Alistair Banks Griffin (US indie Thriller)
Friday & Saturday, December 13 & 14 @ 3:30 pm
Held Over - 2 Additional Screenings!
[TRAILER]
Written and directed by Isidore Newman School alum Alistair Banks Griffin and also starring NOCCA alum Kelvin Harrison Jr. (Luce, Waves). June (Naomi Watts) was once a known counter-culture figure, but that was a decade ago. She now lives alone in her South Bronx apartment, having all but cut herself off from the outside world. It's the notorious "Summer of Sam" and June only has to look out of her window to see the violence escalating with the brutal summer heat. The city is on a knife's edge, a pressure-cooker about to explode into the incendiary 1977 New York blackout riots. A "slow burning nightmare" also starring Emory Cohen, Jennifer Ehle, Jeremy Bobb and Brennan Brown.

WINTER FLIES (VSECHNO BUDE)
Olmo Omerzu (Czech coming of age comedy)
Friday through Thursday, December 13 through 19 @ 5:15 pm daily
[TRAILER]
This Czech submission for Oscar consideration follows FAMILY FILM, director Olmo Omerzu’s edgily funny family-disaster film, with a bittersweet comic road movie about two boys who attempt to swagger into manhood only to reveal just how much of the child remains behind their laughably tough-talking facades. Fifteen-year-old skinhead Mára (Tomas Mrvik) and chubby twelve-year-old BB-gun toting Heduš (Jan Frantisek Uher) set out across the barren winter landscape in a stolen Audi, adding a rescued dog and pretty blonde hitchhiker Brána (Eliska Křenková of FAMILY FILM) to the entourage. Naïve schemes for sexual conquest of their savvy guest passenger remain smutty adolescent dreams, and the adventure comes to a halt in a rural police station, where dirty tricks will cut both ways. Police interrogate 14-year-old Mára at the station after he is caught behind the wheel far across country from where he lives. He and somewhat eccentric Heduš had set out for the frozen landscape down south to seek adventure, but the mischievous breeziness with which Mára gives his story, and his concealment of the details of the trip, gradually strip his statement of credibility…. With uncommon directorial playfulness, Olmo Omerzu leads his central pair of young nonprofessional actors through the expanding narrative, in which a variety of detours arise with the same elegant spontaneity as they later disappear. A road movie about the flies that occasionally buzz around even in winter, telling a story of boyhood friendship and the irrepressible desire to experience something, even if you don’t exactly know what. Winner of 4 Lion Awards (Czech Academy Awards). This incredibly funny and moving comedy featuring brilliant performances by it's two young leads Jan Frantisek Uher and Tomas Mrvik won the Best Director Award at the Karlovy Vary Int, Film Festival.
Zeitgeist is proud to host the film's U.S. Theatrical Premiere.

IN FABRIC
Peter Strickland (UK indie horror thriller)
Friday through Thursday, December 13 through 19 @ 8:45 pm nightly - Held Over!
[TRAILER]
A lonely woman (Marianne Jean-Baptiste), recently separated from her husband, visits a bewitching London department store in search of a dress that will transform her life. She’s fitted with a perfectly flattering, artery-red gown—which, in time, will come to unleash a malevolent curse and unstoppable evil, threatening everyone who comes into its path.
From acclaimed horror director Peter Strickland (the singular auteur behind the sumptuous sadomasochistic romance The Duke of Burgundy and the auditory gaillo-homage Berberian Sound Studio) comes a truly nightmarish film, at turns frightening, seductive, and darkly humorous. Channeling voyeuristic fantasies of high fashion and bloodshed, In Fabric is Strickland’s most twisted and brilliantly original vision yet.

RECORDER: THE MARION STOKES PROJECT
Matt Wolf (US socio-political documentary)
[TRAILER]
For over 30 years, Marion Stokes obsessively and privately recorded American television news twenty-four hours a day. A civil rights-era radical who became fabulously wealthy and reclusive later in life, her obsession started with the Iranian Hostage Crisis in 1979—at the dawn of the twenty-four hour news cycle. It ended on December 14, 2012 as the Sandy Hook massacre played on television while Marion passed away. In between, Marion filled 70,000 VHS tapes, capturing revolutions, wars, triumphs, catastrophes, bloopers, talk shows and commercials that show us how television shaped the world of today and in the process tell us who we were. A mystery in the form of a time capsule, Recorder delves into the strange life of a woman for whom home taping was a form of activism to protect the truth (the public didn’t know it, but the networks had been disposing their archives for decades into the trashcan of history) and though her visionary and maddening project nearly tore her family apart, her extraordinary legacy is as priceless as her story is remarkable.

KINETTA
Yorgos Lanthomos (Greek New Wave drama, 1995)
[TRAILER]
The first feature (1995) from celebrated international auteur Yorgos Lanthimos, never before released in the US takes place in a desolate Greek resort town where three tenuously connected people are motivated by mysterious impulses. A plain-clothes cop pursues triple passions for cars, tape recorders, and Russian women; a lonely, lovesick clerk works as a part-time photographer; and a hotel maid aspires to be an actress through unconventional methods. This darkly comic and insinuatingly hypnotic film comprises the extraordinary solo directorial debut from Lanthimos, whose first three narrative features (Kinetta, Dogtooth, Alps) defined the Greek New Wave before he shifted to English-language films, including Academy Award nominees The Lobster and The Favourite.

MIDNIGHT FAMILY
Luke Lorentzen (Mexican doc)

Easily the most acclaimed and anticipated documentary of the year. In Mexico City's wealthiest neighborhoods, the Ochoa family runs a for-profit ambulance, competing with other unlicensed EMTs for patients in need of urgent care.

Arguably the most exhilarating documentary to come out of Sundance this year, Midnight Family follows the Ochoa family—the gruff but compassionate Fer and his two underage sons, Juan and Josué—at intensely close range on these Sisyphean missions of mercy.

THREE CHRISTS
John Avnet (US indie drama)
[TRAILER]
In 1959, psychiatrist Dr. Alan Stone (Richard Gere) arrives at a mental hospital in Ypsilanti, Michigan armed with the radical belief that schizophrenic patients should be treated not with confinement and electroshock therapy but with empathy and understanding. As his first study, he takes on the particularly challenging case of three men—Joseph (Peter Dinklage), Leon (Walton Goggins), and Clyde (Bradley Whitford)—each of whom believes they are Jesus Christ. Hoping that by getting them together in the same room to confront their delusions he can break through to them, Dr. Stone begins a risky, unprecedented experiment that will push the boundaries of psychiatric medicine and leave everyone involved—including Dr. Stone himself—profoundly changed. Based on a remarkable true story, Three Christs is a fascinating and moving look at one man's journey into the deepest mysteries of the human mind.

JOSEPH BEUYS: POSTERS AND PRINTS
on permanent loan and exhibition in the
BEUYS + BEYOND Gallery
(which connects Zeitgeist Theatre and the Lounge)
Joseph Beuys (12 May 1921 – 23 January 1986) was a German Fluxus, happening and performance artist as well as a painter, sculptor, medallist, installation artist, graphic artist,art theorist and pedagogue. His extensive work is grounded in concepts of humanism, anthroposophy and the “zeitgeist”. It culminates in his "extended definition of art" and the idea of social sculpture as a gesamtkunstwerk, for which he claimed a creative, participatory role in shaping society and politics. His career was characterized by open public debates on a very wide range of subjects including political, environmental, social and long term cultural trends. He is widely regarded as one of the most influential artists of the second half of the 20th century.
