    Instagram post 18097522042065131 Opens Friday! 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. Visit brattlefilm.org for showtimes & tickets (link in profile). . . . #RayAndLiz #RichardBillingham #EllaSmith #JustinSalinger #PatrickRomer #DeirdreKelly #TonyWay #SamGittins #JoshuaMillardLloyd #ThatcherEra #BirminghamUK #photography #WestMidlands #SaatchiGallery #TurnerPrize #RaysALaugh #memoir #nicknacks #jigsawpuzzles #fineart #fineartphotography #contemporaryart #artphotography #contemporaryartphotography #Britain #TIFF #TorontoInternationalFilmFestival #TIFF2018

    Instagram post 18069056500142115 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.

    Instagram post 17917998961327201 Special Advance Screening Tonight at 7:00 • THE GOLDFINCH • This screening is free and open to the public. Passes are not required. A limited number of seats will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. General public will be admitted after press, VIP’s, and invited guests, approximately 15 minutes before showtime. . We’re excited to offer this special advance screening of the bigscreen adaptation of Donna Tartt’s sensational novel. Theodore “Theo” Decker (Elgort) was 13 years old when his mother was killed in a bombing at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The tragedy changes the course of his life, sending him on a stirring odyssey of grief and guilt, reinvention and redemption, and even love. Through it all, he holds on to one tangible piece of hope from that terrible day…a painting of a tiny bird chained to its perch: The Goldfinch. . . . . #TheGoldfinch #DonnaTartt #JohnCrowley #AnselElgort #OakesFegley #NicoleKidman #AshleighCummings #SarahPaulson #FinnWolfhard #AneurinBarnard #LukeWilson #JeffreyWright #DenisOHare
