Richard Linklater: BOYHOOD | IFC

Opens Friday, July 11

TICKETS

Special Sneak Previews Thu Jul 10 at 7:25 (SOLD OUT) & 8:25pm with director Richard Linklater & star Ellar Coltrane in person for a Q&A! Regular engagement starts Fri Jul 11

Filmed over 12 years with the same cast, Richard Linklater’s BOYHOOD is a groundbreaking story of growing up as seen through the eyes of a child named Mason (a breakthrough performance by Ellar Coltrane), who literally grows up on screen before our eyes. Starring Ethan Hawke and Patricia Arquette as Mason’s parents and newcomer Lorelei Linklater as his sister Samantha, BOYHOOD charts the rocky terrain of childhood like no other film has before. Snapshots of adolescence from road trips and family dinners to birthdays and graduations and all the moments in between become transcendent, set to a soundtrack spanning the years from Coldplay’s “Yellow” to Arcade Fire’s “Deep Blue.” BOYHOOD is both a nostalgic time capsule of the recent past and an ode to growing up and parenting.

Sophie Calle: Rachel, Monique | Church of the Heavenly Rest

May 9 – June 25, 2014

The Episcopal Church of the Heavenly Rest
2 East 90th Street & Fifth Avenue, New York

“Paula Cooper Gallery and Galerie Perrotin are pleased to present “Rachel, Monique,” an exhibition by Sophie Calle at the Episcopal Church of the Heavenly Rest in New York. This exhibition, a sequel to Calle’s one-person show at the Paula Cooper Gallery last October, is inspired by the loss of Calle’s mother Monique Sindler, who died in 2006.

Installed in the church’s chapel, the exhibition presents a selection of artworks, including Couldn’t Capture Death, the artist’s film of her mother’s dying, which premiered at the 2007 Venice Biennale. Accompanying the works on view is a soundtrack composed of selected excerpts from Monique’s diaries, which she kept from the early 1980s through 2000.”

“I’m walking down the street. There are people in the street. There is someone you fancy. And you turn the corner. And there she is. No two ways about it. She is the idea. You are in love. And she is the story.”

—David Lynch

David Lynch—the mastermind behind The Elephant Man, Blue Velvet, and Mulholland Drive (each of which garnered him an Oscar nomination for Best Director) and the legendary television series Twin Peaks—makes a rare public appearance at BAM.

After a career hiatus of nearly a decade, British director Jonathan Glazer—who went from commercial and music video visionary (Massive Attack, Blur, Radiohead, and Jamiroquai, to name a few) to gutsy, risk-taking auteur—returns with his most audacious movie yet. His films reveal a master of style and mood who is unafraid to go bold.

 

Jodorowsky’s Dune | Film Forum

TICKETS & SHOWTIMES

209 West Houston Street, New York, NY 10014,
between 6th Avenue and Varick (7th Avenue).

“This fascinating documentary explores the genesis of one of cinema’s greatest epics that never was: cult filmmaker Alejandro Jodorowsky’s (EL TOPO) adaptation of Frank Herbert’s sci-fi classic Dune, whose cast would have included such icons as Salvador Dali, Orson Welles and Mick Jagger. In 1975, following the runaway success of his art-house freak-outs EL TOPO and HOLY MOUNTAIN, Alejandro Jodorowsky secured the rights to Frank Herbert’s Dune – and began work on what was gearing up to be a cinematic game-changer, a sci-fi epic unlike anything the world had ever seen.

Jodorowsky enlisted an elite group of artistic mercenaries, including French comic book artist Moebius, who illustrated the storyboards; screenwriter Dan O’Bannon (DARK STAR, ALIEN); artist H.R. Giger (ALIEN); and sci-fi paperback illustrator Chris Foss. For the cast, he lined up icons ranging from Salvador Dali and Mick Jagger to Orson Welles, and even his own son, who was put through two years of gruelling martial arts training to prepare for his role. Unfortunately, the film was never made.

Director Frank Pavich tackles one of cinema’s most enthralling “what could have been” stories, weaving interviews with the charismatic Jodorowsky, his collaborators, and supporters (including DRIVE director Nicolas Winding Refn), together with animation to bring Moebius’ storyboards to life. Even though the project exists only in the imaginations of its creators, and as the hundreds of illustrations they left behind, Pavich’s documentary chooses not to dwell on failure, but rather celebrates the ways in which the creative dreams of Dune planted seeds for many other iconic films that came after it, from STAR WARS to ALIEN to countless more. This is an inspirational story about the power of the creative spirit, one that establishes Jodorowsky as a master of cinema and a true visionary of our time.” –COLIN GEDDES, TORONTO INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL

Dante Ferretti: Design and Construction for the Cinema | MoMA

September 28, 2013–February 9, 2014

Since 1969 Dante Ferretti has served as the production designer on over 50 feature films, 24 opera productions, and over a dozen television, museum, fashion, festival, and publication projects, working with the likes of fashion icon Valentino and directors Liliana Cavani and David Cronenberg, among others. His career-defining work has been done in collaboration with filmmakers Pier Paolo Pasolini, Federico Fellini, and Martin Scorsese. In Italy, North America, and Britain, he has also created designs with directors Luigi Comencini, Marco Ferreri, Elio Petri, Sergio Citti, Mario Camerini, Franco Zefferelli, Ettore Scola, Dino Risi, Marco Bellocchio, Luigi Zampa, Franco Brusati, Luciano Salce, Tim Burton, Brian DePalma, Terry Gilliam, Julie Taymor, Jean-Jacques Annaud, Martin Brest, Neil Jordan, and Anthony Minghella. He has received the Academy Award, the British BAFTA, and the Italian David Di Donatello.

Dante Ferretti: Design and Construction for the Cinema examines design practice for film through the lens of Ferretti’s work, which is distinguished by the structural role it plays in the collaborative process of cinema art. As digital technology transforms the way films are staged, replacing the real with the virtual, Ferretti’s work comes at what may be the end of a 100-year-long tradition of full-scale, studio-built environments for films. This exhibition also serves to document this transitioning of cinema practice through its selection and organization of drawings, large-scale installations, and digital projection.

The center of the exhibition is a large labyrinth of screens, set between the pillars in the Titus 1 Lobby, onto which are projected highlights from Ferretti’s film work. Sketches, drawings, and design objects will be installed throughout the three floors to further illuminate the artistic skill of one of the masters of the craft. A selection of 22 films whose overall look and feel are defined by Ferretti’s production design will be screened in Titus Theater 1.

Held in conjunction with the film exhibition Dante Ferretti: Designing for the Big Screen
