    Area Premiere! MORONI FOR PRESIDENT is now showing Area Premiere! MORONI FOR PRESIDENT is now showing in our Virtual Screening Room: brattlefilm.org/moronimoroni (link in profile) This acclaimed documentary offers an eye-opening and humorous look at a political race that runs surprisingly parallel to the current political landscape of the U.S. The Navajo Nation is the largest Native American reservation in the United States. Every four years, the Navajo tribe elects its president, whom many consider the most powerful Native American in the country. The film centers on Moroni Benally, an underdog, intellectual candidate with radical ideas, whose homespun campaign originated out of his frustration with the lack of progress in the reservation where he grew up. The witty academic embarks on a grueling, lonely campaign, discovering soon enough that political theory does not necessarily prepare you for the daily dirt of political campaigning. #MoroniForPresident #SailaHuusko#JasperRischen #MoroniBenally#ZachariahGeorge #AlrayNelson#NativeAmerican #NavajoNation#indigenous #community #politics#tribalelections #tribalpolitics#politicalcampaign #LGBTQ#underdog #candidate

    A prizewinner at the 1998 Cannes Film Festival, TH A prizewinner at the 1998 Cannes Film Festival, THE HOLE is set in Taipei slightly in the future – just prior to the dawn of the 21st century. The vaguely sci-fi story follows two residents of a quickly crumbling building who refuse to leave their homes in spite of a bizarre virus that has forced the evacuation of the area. As rain pours down relentlessly, a single man is stuck with an unfinished plumbing job and a hole in his floor. This results in a very odd relationship with the woman who lives in the apartment below. Combining deadpan humor with an austere view of loneliness and several unexpected musical numbers, Tsai Ming-liang crafted one of the most original films of the 1990s – and one that seems oddly appropriate for today’s circumstances. New Reissue! Director's Cut! Tsai Ming-liang's THE HOLE is now showing in our Virtual Screening Room.
