SUMMARY:Monk In Pieces
DESCRIPTION:Meredith Monk – composer\, performer\, and interdisciplinary artist – is one of the great artistic pioneers of our time\, yet her profound cultural influence is largely unrecognized. With Monk’s music at its center\, and featuring interviews with Björk and David Byrne\, Monk in Piecesis a mosaic that mirrors the structure of Monk’s own work\, and illuminates her wildly original vocabulary of sound and imagery.  \n\n\n\nAs a female artist in the male-dominated downtown arts scene of the 1960s and ‘70s\, Monk had to fight for recognition and resources. Early reviews in The New York Timeswere vicious and sexist: “A disgrace to the name of dancing\,” wrote Clive Barnes\, and “so earnestly strange in a talented little-girl way\,” wrote John Rockwell. Yet as her celebrated contemporary\, Philip Glass\, says\, “she\, among all of us\, was – and still is – the uniquely gifted one.” In the film’s final chapters\, Monk faces mortality. We see her warily entrust her masterpiece\, ATLAS\, to director Yuval Sharon and singer Joanna Lynn-Jacobs for a new production at the Los Angeles Philharmonic.  \n\n\n\nFor 60 years\, Monk has directed and performed in all of her music theater works; now she must learn to let go. What will happen to such singular work after she is gone? \n\n\n\nFilm Runtime: 94 Minutes \n\n\n\nMPA Rating: NR

SUMMARY:Going Santa Fe
DESCRIPTION:Going Santa Fe is a work-in-progress personal documentary that reveals the hidden queer history of Santa Fe in the 1960s and earlier. Through the lens of family\, memory\, and resistance\, the story begins with the director’s mother leaving her cultured East Coast life to be with Claude James\, owner of the legendary Canyon Road bar Claude’s of Santa Fe. Told through personal histories\, archival footage\, and firsthand accounts from local community members\, the film illuminates the cultural and political landscape of the time\, and Santa Fe’s role as a haven for artists\, lesbians and gay men\, and anyone who challenged societal norms. As history continues to repeat itself—with renewed political repression and efforts to erase LGBTQ+ lives—the film revisits the Lavender Scare and other silenced chapters that echo urgently today. \n\n\n\nReception 5:30pm-6:30pm\, film followed by Q&A/discussion 6:30-8pm

SUMMARY:HEY VIKTOR!
DESCRIPTION:It’s been 25 years since all eyes were on the Cree kid from Edmonton who made it big with a starring role in the indie hit Smoke Signals. Now grown up\, former child actor Cody Lightning is deep in the bottle and down on his luck\, basking in past glories via faded VHS tapes and endlessly rewriting zombie-priest scripts with creative partner Kate (Hannah Cheesman). When his friends stage an intervention\, Cody seizes the moment — and camera crew — to take one last shot at producing Smoke Signals 2. With backing from a psycho investor and in hot pursuit of Adam Beach’s wig to tie the film together\, Lightning’s deliriously dysfunctional set becomes a mess of unresolved tension and self-destruction\, leading to a long-overdue reckoning with the community that raised him.  \n\n\n\n\n“ Reminiscent of Alexandre Rockwell’s In the Soup\, Hey\, Viktor! is an alternately hilarious and brutally honest dive into the trenches of D.I.Y. film-making. ” – Den of Cinema  \n\n\n\n“ [B]oth a brilliant commentary on the aftermath of child stardom\, and a surreal yet insightful comedy that dips into pitch-perfect dramatic moments. Lightning turns in a masterclass performance of buffoonery and absurdism strained through the filter of his real life. ” – Santa Fe Reporter

SUMMARY:Boys Go To Jupiter
DESCRIPTION:Set in the liminal period between Christmas and New Year’s\, the story follows the adventures of Billy 5000 (Jack Corbett)\, a teenage gig worker with a rise-and-grind mindset whose quest to make $5\,000 is derailed by the appearance of a gelatinous little dude from outer space. Using the power of lo-fi musical numbers and deadpan comedy\, Billy must save Donut and his family from the evil schemes of the Dolphin Groves Juice Company. The voice cast — which also includes Julio Torres\, Sarah Sherman\, Joe Pera\, Cole Escola and Elsie Fisher — is a who’s who of weirdo comedy all-stars\, adding to the charmingly strange vibe.

SUMMARY:A Photographic Memory
DESCRIPTION:Thirty years after her mother’s death\, photographer Rachel Elizabeth Seed discovers her mother’s work — more than 50 hours of interviews with the greatest photographers of the 20th Century\, including Henri Cartier-Bresson\, Lisette Model\, Gordon Parks\, Cecil Beaton\, William Albert Allard\, Brian Lanker\, Cornell Capa\, Bruce Davidson and Eliot Porter. When Rachel threads in the audio reels and presses play\, she hears her mother’s voice for the first time since she was a baby.  \n\n\n\nSheila Turner-Seed\, a daring\, world-traveling journalist ahead of her time\, died suddenly of a brain aneurysm when Rachel was just 18 months old. Moved to uncover more of what she left behind\, Rachel sets out to revisit her mom’s subjects\, family and friends\, revisiting the photographers she interviewed decades before. As new truths emerge\, Rachel builds an unlikely relationship with her mother through the audio recordings\, photographs\, and films her mother made during her brief life\, crafting an imagined conversation through the cinematic medium. As she discovers the shocking secrets which may have led to her mother’s untimely death\, Rachel’s ability to forge her own path hinges on how these revelations affect her own life.  \n\n\n\nThe film draws from footage of Rachel’s visits to the photographers her mother interviewed\, Sheila’s award-winning audio-visual work\, Super 8 family films\, still photography\, audio letters and journals\, weaving together personal and photohistorical media to tell a universal story — about facing mortality and loss\, the construction of memory and the restoration of a legacy. Along this path\, Rachel explores the question of whether it is possible to get to know someone through the things they leave behind. \n\n\n\nFilm Runtime: 85 Minutes \n\n\n\nMPA Rating: NR

SUMMARY:HEARTS OF DARKNESS: A FILMMAKER'S APOCALYPSE
DESCRIPTION:In the late 1970s\, celebrated director Francis Ford Coppola (The Godfather\, The Conversation) and his cast\, crew\, and family ventured into the dense jungles of the Philippines to begin work on what would eventually become his masterpiece\, Apocalypse Now. But the journey from page to screen soon spiraled into a hellish\, life-threatening nightmare that echoed the film’s narrative. Plagued with adversity\, one of the most influential films ever made had one of the most notorious shoots in cinema history that few survived unscathed. \n\n\n\nMeticulously documented at the time by Eleanor Coppola (Paris Can Wait)\, Fax Bahr (In Living Color)\, and George Hickenlooper (Dogtown) revisited the footage in 1991 and filmed new interviews with the cast and crew\, resulting in Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker’s Apocalypse\, a groundbreaking and intimate portrait of what went into making one of the best films ever made. Hearts of Darkness is the ultimate feature-length documentary\, capturing the explosive events that led to Apocalypse Now becoming a worldwide classic film and a constant favorite with film critics. \n\n\n\n“An engulfing\, brilliantly crafted documentary about the disaster-strewn production of Coppola’s Apocalypse Now…Much of the credit should go to Eleanor Coppola\, Francis’s wife\, who shot sixty hours of behind-the-scenes footage on location in the Philippines\, caught her husband’s haywire visionary mood swings on audiotape\, and [joins] the ranks of the interviewees [which also include George Lucas\, Martin Sheen\, Dennis Hopper\, et al.]…Bahr and Hickenlooper present the extraordinary spectacle of a filmmaker at the peak of his clout\, banking everything on his ability to pull inspiration out of the fire\, and getting scorched.”– Michael Sragow\, The New Yorker \n\n\n\nAbout The Restoration \n\n\n\n“In 1976\, Eleanor Coppola shot behind-the-scenes footage of Apocalypse Now on 16mm. For the first time\, we decided to return to all original sources and scan elements in 4K for this new release. What everyone has seen over the last 30 years has been three to four generations removed from the source elements. Additionally\, we utilized the 2019 4K restoration of Apocalypse Now for this release\, incorporating those elements into the documentary. For any clips pulled from Apocalypse Now and used in the documentary\, we maintained the original aspect ratio of 2.40 instead of letterboxing it in a 4×3 frame. Lastly\, we remastered the soundtrack and created a new 5.1 mix. The film was restored at American Zoetrope and graded at Roundabout Entertainment in Burbank\, California. The director\, Fax Bahr\, approved the grade.” – James T. Mockoski\, Film Archivist/Restoration Supervisor for American Zoetrope

SUMMARY:APOCALYPSE NOW: FINAL CUT
DESCRIPTION:Francis Ford Coppola’s Apocalypse Now over 40 years old\, presents a new\, never-before-seen restored version of the film. The new film Apocalypse Now Final Cut\, has been remastered in 4K Ultra HD. \n\n\n\nAmerican Captain Benjamin Willard (Martin Sheen) is assigned to track down and kill Colonel Kurtz (Marlon Brando)\, who has reportedly massacred hundreds of innocent people and set up his own fiefdom in the jungle. Willard and his crew encounter strange sights and people on their surreal journey into the heart of darkness. \n\n\n\n“Francis Coppola’s long-awaited film starts with what proves to be a nightmare: a stand of pale green palm trees\, ominous air-beating chops\, the fleeting blurs of attack helicopters\, a sudden rush of flame engulfing the trees as\, in magically perfect rhythm\, Jim Morrison’s high\, thin voice croons\, ‘This is the end…’ Then the dreamer of this recurring vision appears mingled with his own demonic images\, in a Saigon hotel room during the Vietnam war\, drunk\, stunned\, virtually deranged—an American captain named Benjamin Willard (Martin Sheen). Soon afterwards\, his superiors send him upriver to Cambodia on a secret mission to find and kill a Green Beret colonel\, Walter Kurtz (Marlon Brando)\, who is rumoured to be running amok there with a private army of Montagnard tribesmen and renegade Americans.” – Sight and Sound \n\n\n\nFilm Runtime: 183 Minutes \n\n\n\nMPA Rating: R

SUMMARY:Belle De Jour
DESCRIPTION:Continuing CCA’s monthly presentation of Luis Buñuel Classics! \n\n\n\nCatherine Deneuve’s porcelain perfection hides a cracked interior in one of the actress’s most iconic roles: Séverine\, a Paris housewife who begins secretly spending her after­noon hours working in a bordello. This surreal and erotic late-sixties daydream from provocateur for the ages Luis Buñuel is an examination of desire and fetishistic pleasure (its characters’ and its viewers’)\, as well as a gently absurdist take on contemporary social mores and class divisions. Fantasy and reality commingle in this burst of cinematic transgression\, which was one of Buñuel’s biggest hits. \n\n\n\nFilm Runtime: 100 Minutes \n\n\n\nMPA Rating: R

SUMMARY:350 Santa Fe Climate Film Series: The Letter
DESCRIPTION:350 Santa Fe resumes its climate film series at the Center for Contemporary Arts Santa Fe with The Letter: A Message for the Earth. In this time in which U.S. climate policy is going backwards\, attempting to bring back some imagined golden age of indiscriminate consumption of fossil fuels\, the moral case for climate justice remains as meaningful as ever. The late Pope Francis made the preservation of our climate one of his leading issues with his Laudato Si’ encyclical. Following the film\, an interfaith panel of religious leaders have been invited to discuss the significance of the encyclical beyond the Catholic community\, and its potential for a broader movement based around the moral case for curbing greenhouse gas emissions. \n\n\n\nThis in-person event is a great opportunity to learn\, discuss\, and connect with like-minded individuals. Don’t miss out on this chance to be informed and inspired! \n\n\n\nDoors open at 6pm\, film at 6:30 \n\n\n\nFollowed by interfaith panel and discussion \n\n\n\nFree-will offering\, donations encouraged

SUMMARY:Jaws
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Jaws with CCA!  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA History of Jaws \n\n\n\nAcademy Award-winner Steven Spielberg was only twenty-six years old when he directed Jaws\, a movie that changed the way audiences experienced movies by setting the standard for edge-of-your-seat suspense. Jaws\, which was based on a novel by Peter Benchley\, was a massive box office success. The film helped coin the term “summer blockbuster”\, a term still culturally relevant today.  \n\n\n\nJaws is one of the highest-grossing movies of all time\, and was released to over 400 screens\, which was an exceptionally wide release for a major studio picture at the time. It was marketed with a blanket advertising approach rather than a slow rollout\, which attributed to its opening success. With over 75 million Americans flocking to theaters and the extraordinary success of Jaws\, filmmakers and studios began to see the summer months as prime time for releasing major films. \n\n\n\nJaws won three Academy Awards: Best Film Editing\, Best Original Dramatic Score\, and Best Sound. Plus\, in addition to the Oscar\, John Williams’ score for the film won a Grammy\, BAFTA Award for Best Film Music\, and a Golden Globe Award. In 2001\, the Library of Congress selected Jaws for preservation in the United States National Film Registry \n\n\n\nDirected by Academy Award® winner Steven Spielberg\, Jaws set the standard for edge-of-your-seat suspense\, quickly becoming a cultural phenomenon and forever changing the movie industry 50 years ago on June 20\, 1975.  \n\n\n\nWhen the seaside community of Amity finds itself under attack by a dangerous great white shark\, the town’s chief of police (Roy Scheider)\, a young marine biologist (Richard Dreyfuss) and a grizzled shark hunter (Robert Shaw) embark on a desperate quest to destroy the beast before it strikes again. Featuring an unforgettable score that evokes pure terror\, five decades later\, Universal Pictures’ Jaws remains one of the most influential and gripping adventures in motion picture history. \n\n\n\nFilm Runtime: 124 Minutes \n\n\n\nMPA Rating: PG-13

SUMMARY:Collective Monologue
DESCRIPTION:Intimate and fragmented moments unfold in a community of zoos and animal rescue centers across Argentina. As histories of these institutions are uncovered\, dedicated workers commit both day and night to caring for the remaining enclosed animals\, fostering a mutual bond that transcends imagined boundaries between human and animal. \n\n\n\n“Beyond its fascinating portrayal of interspecies care\, Collective Monologue features remarkable 16mm footage of the resident creatures — and some amazing surveillance camera glimpses of nocturnal anteaters — as well as archival detours\, which reveal a parallel inquiry into questions of labour\, gender\, and colonial conquest over the natural world. With a form that is intricate and precise\, while pleasingly fragmented and open in construction\, Rinland’s hypnotic approach invites questions about how we not only look at animals\, but also share the world with them.” – Andrea Picard TIFF \n\n\n\n“A patient and expansive work\, organically weaving commentary on labor with rich observations about the dynamics between animals and carers.”— Cici Peng\, Nicolas Pedrero-Setzer\, Variety \n\n\n\nFilm Runtime: 104 Minutes \n\n\n\nMPA Rating: NR

SUMMARY:High School
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the CCA’s year-long Frederick Wiseman Retrospective\, where we will showcase twelve of Wiseman’s rarely seen masterworks. Enjoy a Sunday matinee each month from October 2024 through September 2025. Each unique film will be screened just once on our massive Cinema Theater screen. \n\n\n\nEach film in CCA’s Frederick Wiseman Retrospective has recently been meticulously restored using original 16mm film negatives and sound elements\, and has previously never been available in digital format. This monumental five-year long restoration project\, overseen and approved by Wiseman himself\, is a collaboration between Zipporah Films\, the Library of Congress\, DuArt Labs and Goldcrest Post Production. \n\n\n\nMerchandise Alert: Grab your Limited Edition Wiseman Retrospective t-shirts in the cinema lobby\, available while supplies last! \n\n\n\nHIGH SCHOOL (1968) was filmed at a large urban high school in Philadelphia. The film documents how the school system exists not only to pass on “facts” but also transmits social values from one generation to another. HIGH SCHOOL presents a series of formal and informal encounters between teachers\, students\, parents\, and administrators through which the ideology and values of the school emerge. \n\n\n\nTotal runtime: 75 mins \n\n\n\n“HIGH SCHOOL\, a wicked\, brilliant documentary about life in a lower-middle-class secondary school.” –Richard Schickel\, Life \n\n\n\n“HIGH SCHOOL shows no stretching of minds. It does show the overwhelming dreariness of administrators and teachers who confuse teaching with discipline. The school somehow takes warm\, breathing teen-agers and tries to turn them into 40-year old mental eunuchs… No wonder the kids turn off\, stare out windows\, become surly\, try to escape… The most frightening thing about ‘HIGH SCHOOL’ is that it captures the battlefield so clearly; the film is too true.” –Peter Janssen\, Newsweek \n\n\n\n“The high school is the very heart of America\, and Wiseman has captured its strength and rhythm perfectly.” –Edgar Z. Friedenberg\, The New York Review of Books
