Our annual program of international arthouse epics—each one towering in ambition and rich in human insights—returns this September. Join us for a venerated wuxia classic, phantasmagorical space odysseys, Palme d’Or and Golden Lion winners, a war-torn tour de force by one of the medium’s greatest visual poets, and one of the most critically acclaimed releases of 2023. This series contains sweeping, sensory-rich masterworks by Laura Citarella, Lav Diaz, Aleksei German, King Hu, Zacharias Kunuk, Terrence Malick, Andrei Tarkovsky, and Luchino Visconti to lose yourself in during the waning days of summer.
