    “The Last Black Man in San Francisco is a poetic “The Last Black Man in San Francisco is a poetic and picturesque ode to the title city, to friendship and to the universal urge to find a place to call home.” – Peter Howell, Toronto Star . Jimmie Fails dreams of reclaiming the Victorian home his grandfather built in the heart of San Francisco. Joined on his quest by his best friend Mont, Jimmie searches for belonging in a rapidly changing city that seems to have left them behind. A wistful odyssey populated by skaters, squatters, street preachers, playwrights, and other locals on the margins, THE LAST BLACK MAN IN SAN FRANCISCO is a poignant and sweeping story of hometowns and how they’re made – and kept alive – by the people who love them. . THE LAST BLACK MAN IN SAN FRANCISCO screens Monday at 6:00 & 8:30 as part of our (Some of) The Best of 2019 series.

    "A grand, warmhearted testament to her lifetime of "A grand, warmhearted testament to her lifetime of creative connections, her art of self-transformation, and her relentless transformation of the art of cinema itself.” – Richard Brody, New Yorker . VARDA BY AGNÈS • Thursday 1/23 at 6:30 • The final film from legendary filmmaker Agnès Varda begins as a masterclass held by the director discussing her life and career. Soon the camera breaks out of the lecture hall and we follow Varda as she revisits the settings and subjects of some of her greatest films. As impishly delightful and endlessly curious as Varda herself, VARDA BY AGNÈS stands as a wonderful, self-made tribute to this remarkable director who sadly passed away in 2019. Consider this an appetizer for the VARDA RARITIES series we have coming up on January 31. . . . #VardaByAgnès #AgnèsVarda #CineTamaris #JanusFilms

    “Almodóvar shows us that, even after nearly two “Almodóvar shows us that, even after nearly two dozen features over several decades, he can still hold an audience in his hand – and surprise it.” – Moira Macdonald, Seattle Time . The latest from the great Spanish director Pedro Almodóvar, PAIN AND GLORY follows a renowned filmmaker (Banderas) in decline – both physically and professionally – who confronts his past and, ultimately, rediscovers his ability to create. A remarkable work of meta-fiction/autobiography, PAIN AND GLORY echoes the soul-searching work of Federico Fellini in its unflinching exploration of the filmmaker’s own psychology. . PAIN AND GLORY screens Thursday at 4:00 & 9:00 as part of our (Some of) The Best of 2019 series.
