    Instagram post 18078621034113746 Now Showing! Somewhere at the intersection of Terence Davies and Ken Loach, acclaimed British photographer Richard Billingham takes a leap from still photography and video installation to the big screen with startling results. RAY & LIZ (premiering Sept 13–16) is his lyrically gritty evocation of growing up in council housing on the outskirts of Birmingham – and the margins of society – during the Thatcher era. It was one of our favorites of last year’s Toronto International Film Festival and we’re excited to have the opportunity to share it with Boston audiences.

    Instagram post 18097985287036605 New 50th Anniversary Restoration! PUTNEY SWOPE screens Wed 9/18 at 8:30 for Art House Theater Day, with special recorded intro from director Robert Downey, Sr! An unforgettable late-’60s counterculture masterpiece, Robert Downey Sr.’s PUTNEY SWOPE remains a vital provocation on race, pop culture and America. Putney Swope, the only African-American exec at his ad firm, is unexpectedly elected its president and turns the industry on its ear through a series of outrageous, taboo-busting TV commercials (strewn throughout the film like comedic landmines.) As Swope becomes the Generalissimo of Madison Avenue, Downey takes no prisoners and skewers the entire political spectrum.
