"This first, magnificent, outpouring of the sporadic genius of cinema’s equivalent to JD Salinger, Terrence Malick, still seems terrifically modern…. BADLANDS is as psychologically precise as it is splendidly visually observant. But it also exudes a timeless, mythical and tragic quality which is all the more remarkable for the languorous ease with which its story unfolds.” —Wally Hammond, #TimeOut
This Sat-Sun, Jun 25-26 at 12:15pm, Terrence Malick’s 1973 BADLANDS with Martin Sheen and Sissy Spacek (tickets at link in bio, or bit.ly/Belcourt-BADLANDS).
"An indispensable watch…Banua-Simon’s approach showcases a singular storytelling voice.” — @carlosfilm @thewrap
"A necessary corrective to the perception of Hawaiian identity that diagnoses the problem of representation in pop culture through the filmmaker’s own deeply personal lens." —Eric Kohn @indiewire
This coming Wed-Thu, 8pm in a limited engagement, @anthonybanuasimon’s CANE FIRE (ticket link in bio, or bit.ly/CANE-FIRE).
“New York Times Critic’s Pick: REFLECTION is interested in the impact of casual violence on everyday life, right from its opening tableau…. The situation seems all the more charged if you know that REFLECTION, written, directed, photographed and edited by Valentyn Vasyanovych, is a Ukrainian film. It would be a bracing, haunting work even if it weren’t so timely.” — #BenKenigsberg @nytimes
REFLECTION screens this Sun, Jun 19 + Tue, Jun 21 (link in bio, bit.ly/Belcourt-REFLECTION). For all screenings, a portion of ticket sales will be donated to the Ukraine Crisis Fund administered by Americares.

Just announced — and on sale! Queer Qlassics* in July! (Tickets at link in bio, or bit.ly/Queer-Qlassics-2022)
Our inaugural Queer Qlassics series, long ago in 2019, focused on primary-source documents of the history of the LGBTQ community. For this, our second installment, we have focused on transformational narratives — the process of coming to know oneself, the resolve to live on one’s own terms in a hostile environment, taking the pressures of the world and emerging a diamond, and the ways that something once rejected can become something treasured (and vice versa).

"A kaleidoscopic fantasy warped through the lens of a 1970s sci-fi Western, AFTER BLUE is a synthetic siren song for the freaks of the future and the past.” — @theyjude @indiewire

(Ticket link in bio, or bit.ly/AFTER-BLUE)
