If there had never been a cinema he would undoubtedly have been a clown of genius, but the cinema has allowed him to raise the comedy of circus and music hall to the highest aesthetic level. Chaplin needed the medium of the cinema to free comedy completely from the limits of space and time imposed by the stage or the circus arena. […] [The] best Chaplin films can be seen over and over again with no loss of pleasure – indeed the very opposite is the case. It is doubtless a fact that the satisfaction derived from certain gags is inexhaustible, so deep does it lie, but it is furthermore supremely true that comic form and aesthetic value owe nothing to surprise. The latter is exhausted the first time around and is replaced by a much more subtle pleasure, namely the delight of anticipating and recognizing perfection.” –André Bazin, WHAT IS CINEMA<br /><br />A WOMAN (1915, 20 min, 16mm)<br />EASY STREET (1917, 19 min, 16mm)<br />THE CURE (1917, 26 min, 16mm)<br />PAY DAY (1922, 22 min, 35mm)<br /><br />Total running time: ca. 90 min.<br /><br /><a href="https://ticketing.us.veezi.com/sessions/?siteToken=bsrxtagjxmgh2qy0b6p646xdcr"><strong>CLICK HERE TO BUY TICKETS NOW!</strong></a></p> Tuesday, August 04 https://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/film_screenings/calendar?view=list&month=08&year=2026#showing-61696 <p>The first great success of renowned Swiss filmmaker Alain Tanner, THE SALAMANDER also represents one of his many collaborations with John Berger: between 1966-76 the pair made four films together (including Tanner’s most famous, the 1976 feature, JONAH WHO WILL BE 25 IN THE YEAR 2000). THE SALAMANDER begins with a succession of enigmatic images: a man is shown cleaning his gun; the gun goes off; furtively, a woman’s face appears. From this mysterious opening, Tanner and Berger build a metaphorical scenario: two men, a journalist and a writer, are determined to discover the truth about this woman. Each uses his own weapons: documentary research in one case, boundless imagination in the other. But gradually, both courses of action prove futile. The beauty of the film lies in its capacity to develop a theme without ever belaboring its message: that reality outruns all efforts to grasp it. As played by Bulle Ogier, Rosemonde remains a definitive incarnation of post-1968 freedom.<br /><br /><a href="https://ticketing.us.veezi.com/sessions/?siteToken=bsrxtagjxmgh2qy0b6p646xdcr"><strong>CLICK HERE TO BUY TICKETS NOW!</strong></a> </p> Tuesday, August 04 https://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/film_screenings/calendar?view=list&month=08&year=2026#showing-61594 <p>CITY LIGHTS, the most cherished film by Charlie Chaplin, is also his ultimate Little Tramp chronicle.

The film, boldly using mostly still photographs, is based on Berger’s book of the same name, which was both a work of fiction and a history of French Peasant experience, as told by John “the story teller”, as if in the peasant’s own voices. All of this was given brilliant visual expression in the film through a series of beautifully edited sequences, each constructed from vivid and moving photographs of peasants and their lives, in black and white and color, by Berger’s friend and long-time collaborator, the Swiss photographer Jean Mohr.<br /><br /><br />Michael Dibb<br />OMNIBUS: PARTING SHOTS FROM ANIMALS<br />1980, 50 min, 16mm-to-DCP<br />PARTING SHOTS FROM ANIMALS was inspired by essays by John Berger and developed in collaboration with Chris Rawlence. Shot entirely in the UK, it consists of a diverse series of arresting “films within a film”, each presented as if made about humanity from the perspective of the animals whose lives we may appear to celebrate, but continue to exploit and to destroy. While Berger doesn’t appear in the film and wasn’t directly involved in its making, he narrates to great effect the text he co-wrote to accompany the film’s provocative opening sequence.<br /><br />Total running time: ca. 105 min.<br /><br /><a href="https://ticketing.us.veezi.com/sessions/?siteToken=bsrxtagjxmgh2qy0b6p646xdcr"><strong>CLICK HERE TO BUY TICKETS NOW!</strong></a> </p> Wednesday, August 05 https://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/film_screenings/calendar?view=list&month=08&year=2026#showing-61591 <p>One of the most celebrated and beloved of all silent films, THE GOLD RUSH features Chaplin’s most distinctive alter-ego, the little tramp, as he wins fortune and love in the Yukon.

In Hausa and French with English subtitles.<br />“Jimi flies back to his native village after a long absence and convinces his friends to become cowboys. Renamed Black Cooper, John Kelly, Breaker, Billy Walter, and Queen Christine, they steal horses, terrorize sheepherders, and brawl in the neighborhood saloon to the horror of the locals. Drawing maximum effects from an economy of means, Alassane’s brilliant comedy intertwines central modernization plots in West Africa and Europe after the war (a traveler’s return, the youth problem, the arrival of new technology) with the outlaw gang and frontier-town-under-attack narratives that were mainstays of the western genre. By stripping these stories of their conventional moral weight, he opens his film, ‘the first African western,’ to the widest scope of possible interpretations.” –Jamie Berthe & Sam Di Iorio<br /><br />Kevin Jerome Everson<br />TEN FIVE IN THE GRASS<br />2011, 32 min, Super-8mm-to-digital. Screening courtesy the artist and Picture Palace Pictures.<br />“The black western richly provokes the mythology of the American West and the idea of film genre as a historiographic Imagineering by tacitly revealing how the narrative form has covertly borne a racial and cultural ideal. The genre’s classical themes of nation-building, the civilizing of savage lands, utopianism, and the discreteness of good and evil become refabulated as Everson draws attention to absences, disavowals, and the difference of a culture other than pale riders. Everson’s TEN FIVE IN THE GRASS examines the craft of the black cowboy. The film illustrates Everson’s interest in everyday intellect by observing the rituals of the grooming of horses, riding, and roping. The piece is set in a practice space in Natchez, Mississippi run by Fred Mayberry, a rancher and professional rodeo calf roper.” –Michael B.

Somewhere in the Brazilian hinterlands of the 1940s, ranch hand Manoel becomes an outlaw after killing his swindling boss. He pledges allegiance to Sebastião, a self-styled holy man who preaches revolt against rich landowners even as he perpetrates unspeakable acts of violent zealotry against the innocent. While the landowners hire a mercenary to take out Sebastião, Manoel and his wife Rosa join cangaceiros Corisco and Dadá, only to find themselves once more in league with evil, deluded forces. Steeped in history, myth, religion, and politics, and suffused with the feverish intensity of the blistering desert, BLACK GOD, WHITE DEVIL is one of the Cinema Novo movement’s most uncompromising statements on current social issues as well as the universal problem of mindless fanaticism.<br /><br /><a href="https://ticketing.us.veezi.com/sessions/?siteToken=bsrxtagjxmgh2qy0b6p646xdcr"><strong>CLICK HERE TO BUY TICKETS NOW!</strong></a> </p> Saturday, August 08 https://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/film_screenings/calendar?view=list&month=08&year=2026#showing-61780 <p>“One of the few Spaghetti Westerns starring – and possibly the only one directed by – a woman (Wertmüller worked under the pseudonym ‘Nathan Wich’ after replacing Cristofani), the film is inspired by the notorious American outlaw Belle Starr, played by Elsa Martinelli.

The opening night event features an exceedingly rare screening of Mikio Naruse’s LITTLE PEACH, described by Chris Fujiwara as both “a masterpiece of Naruse’s elliptical and unemphatic fifties style” and “one of the harshest of Naruse’s female melodramas.” Known for her iconic roles as the little sister or the enduring daughter, Kagawa here lends her tenderness to the beleaguered adult role of wife to a would-be novelist in perpetual collapse. Echoing SOUND OF THE MOUNTAIN in the many walks and talks with the great Sō Yamamura as paternal figure, with its buoyant bike rides and painful vision of marriage as social fate, the film also gestures at a spiritual afterlife for Ozu’s LATE SPRING.<br /><br />Following this opening night event, “Kyoko Kagawa Rarities” continues at Asia Society through Sunday, August 16, with screenings of FAREWELL TO THE HIGHLAND STATION (Nobuo Nakagawa, 1951), TOKYO RENDEZVOUS (Chihiro Ikeda, 2008), FIVE SISTERS (Seiji Hisamatsu, 1954), and SHOZO, A CAT AND TWO WOMEN (Shiro Toyoda, 1956), featuring imported archival prints and newly translated subtitles.<br /><br />“Kyōko Kagawa Rarities” is programmed by Joseph Eusebio and Akinaru Rokkaku and is a co-presentation of Asia Society, Anthology Film Archives, and The Japan Foundation, New York.<br /><br />For more info about the Asia Society screenings visit:<br /><a href="https://asiasociety.org/new-york/kyoko-kagawa-rarities">https://asiasociety.org/new-york/kyoko-kagawa-rarities</a><br /><br />Special thanks to Hiroyuki Kojima (Japan Foundation, New York), Inney Prakash (Asia Society), and Shion Komatsu (Toho).<br /><br /><a href="https://ticketing.us.veezi.com/sessions/?siteToken=bsrxtagjxmgh2qy0b6p646xdcr"><strong>CLICK HERE TO BUY TICKETS NOW!</strong></a> </p> Thursday, August 13 https://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/film_screenings/calendar?view=list&month=08&year=2026#showing-61677 <p>A highly personal look at Rosario Suárez, the former prima ballerina of the Ballet Nacional de Cuba, an expressive dancer with a dazzling technique and a singular interpretive style.<br /><br /><a href="https://ticketing.us.veezi.com/sessions/?siteToken=bsrxtagjxmgh2qy0b6p646xdcr"><strong>CLICK HERE TO BUY TICKETS NOW!</strong></a> </p> Thursday, August 13 https://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/film_screenings/calendar?view=list&month=08&year=2026#showing-61837 <p>A highly personal look at Rosario Suárez, the former prima ballerina of the Ballet Nacional de Cuba, an expressive dancer with a dazzling technique and a singular interpretive style.<br /><br /><strong>Followed by a Q&A with protagonist Rosario Suárez!</strong><br /><br /><a href="https://ticketing.us.veezi.com/sessions/?siteToken=bsrxtagjxmgh2qy0b6p646xdcr"><strong>CLICK HERE TO BUY TICKETS NOW!</strong></a> </p> Friday, August 14 https://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/film_screenings/calendar?view=list&month=08&year=2026#showing-61777 <p>Glauber Rocha’s sophomore feature is a scorched-earth allegory about the blind followers of dead-end ideologies. Somewhere in the Brazilian hinterlands of the 1940s, ranch hand Manoel becomes an outlaw after killing his swindling boss. He pledges allegiance to Sebastião, a self-styled holy man who preaches revolt against rich landowners even as he perpetrates unspeakable acts of violent zealotry against the innocent. While the landowners hire a mercenary to take out Sebastião, Manoel and his wife Rosa join cangaceiros Corisco and Dadá, only to find themselves once more in league with evil, deluded forces. Steeped in history, myth, religion, and politics, and suffused with the feverish intensity of the blistering desert, BLACK GOD, WHITE DEVIL is one of the Cinema Novo movement’s most uncompromising statements on current social issues as well as the universal problem of mindless fanaticism.<br /><br /><a href="https://ticketing.us.veezi.com/sessions/?siteToken=bsrxtagjxmgh2qy0b6p646xdcr"><strong>CLICK HERE TO BUY TICKETS NOW!</strong></a> </p> Friday, August 14 https://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/film_screenings/calendar?view=list&month=08&year=2026#showing-61679 <p>Daniel Chile<br />THE LAST GAME / EL ÚLTIMO JUEGO<br />2026, 24 min, DCP.

Mixing Miklós Jancsó imagery and a Sergio Leone narrative, this ballad-like saga opens with the image of a lone horseman on the empty plain, riding past a rude gallows. THE WIND IS WHISTLING UNDER THEIR FEET concerns the vengeful return of a legendary betyár (outlaw), briefly a hero to the local herdsmen who oppose the state building a canal across their grazing land. Although Szomjas works from ethnographic records and archival material, it is hardly surprising that this violent, primitivist film would be more popular with Hungarian audiences than critics. Replete with young guns, crooked sheriffs, tavern brawlers, and hard-bitten plug-uglies, this widescreen film is strikingly shot by Elémer Ragályi (cinematographer for most of Gyula Gazdag’s films) – a feast of loamy, autumnal colors.” –J.

The very choice of the Western and of satirical comedy was in itself already a step in opposition to the official presentation of the Western as ‘a fallen and damaging genre’. In a typical main street of a small town in the far West, a fight takes place between the handsome hero, Joe, and an ugly scoundrel. Joe is an agent for a company that produces the soft drink ‘Kolaloka’ and is trying to enforce the prohibition of alcohol. [SODA POP JOE’s] charm, bravura and humor ensured it 4.5 million viewers and the film is still regularly shown on Czech and Slovak TV stations.” –ROTTERDAM FILM FESTIVAL<br /><br /><a href="https://ticketing.us.veezi.com/sessions/?siteToken=bsrxtagjxmgh2qy0b6p646xdcr"><strong>CLICK HERE TO BUY TICKETS NOW!</strong></a> </p> Sunday, August 16 https://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/film_screenings/calendar?view=list&month=08&year=2026#showing-61687 <p>In this tongue-in-cheek comedy, East German Stasi officer Fritz travels to Cuba with orders to thwart a suspected CIA operation against Fidel Castro.

Although he killed in self-defense, rumors in town circulated during his absence speculating that the victim was killed in cold blood. Sáyago wants to rebuild the life he was denied with his old lover, Mariana Sampedro, but Trueba’s sons have sworn to avenge the murder of their father. This classic Mexican neo-western was the first realized screenplay of Nobel Prize winner Gabriel García Márquez and legendary Mexican novelist Carlos Fuentes. Under the direction of Arturo Ripstein, TIME TO DIE represents one of the earliest examples of New Mexican Cinema and one of the most accomplished Mexican films from the 1960s.<br /><br /><a href="https://ticketing.us.veezi.com/sessions/?siteToken=bsrxtagjxmgh2qy0b6p646xdcr"><strong>CLICK HERE TO BUY TICKETS NOW!</strong></a> </p> Sunday, August 16
