    THINGS TO COME (1936) screens with Georges Méliè THINGS TO COME (1936) screens with Georges Méliès' A TRIP TO THE MOON on Friday, January 24 as part of our series, Things to Come: The Birth of Sci-Fi Cinema. Learn more at brattlefilm.org/things-to-come (link in profile). . A landmark collaboration between writer H. G. Wells, producer Alexander Korda, and designer and director William Cameron Menzies, THINGS TO COME is a science fiction film like no other, a prescient political work that predicts a century of turmoil and progress. Skipping through time, THINGS TO COME bears witness to world war, disease, dictatorship, and, finally, utopia. Conceived, written, and overseen by Wells himself as an adaptation of his own work, this megabudget production, the most ambitious ever from Korda’s London Films, is a triumph of imagination and technical audacity. – Janus Films

    VARDA BY AGNÈS • Thursday at 6:30 • The final VARDA BY AGNÈS • Thursday 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

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. .

    “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. .

Set among the cane fields of rural Louisiana, BURNING CANE follows a deeply religious woman struggling to reconcile her faith with the love she has for her troubled, self-destructive son, while also witnessing her dejected pastor’s decline.
