NOTES: Part of the series of von Trier re-releases, preceded with a video essay by Ari Aster meant to introduce The Idiots and Breaking the Waves. Almost too clean for its own good, all things considered.

NOTES: Opened on the BBFC card used at the time, like the prints of Carol and The Lost City of Z did. Would be a 9/10 print if not for the lines and wet marks trailing down the right side of the entire print.

Disney went as far as to remake this into a live-action feature film, which reads more like a musical on stage than anything, and fixed the definitely controversial issue of the woman being reduced to a love interest by elevating her role to the main protagonist. The crowd surprisingly loved it!

NOTES: Presented before the 4K restoration of Black Girl as part of the Ousmane Sembรจne season, with subtitles projected digitally. One missing frame, but a crisp, very polished print.

NOTES: An original release print that is half as faded as the Black Hole print. Starts off impressively, although the issues commence in the second reel which for the most part is covered in trailing lines, and some signs of damage are present from the point when Morris visits Ellen!Annabel.

NOTES: One of the Disney seasonโs Touchstone Pictures screenings, knowingly preceded with an intentionally gay Disney film, Steven Clay Hunterโs SparkShort Out. An incredibly well-preserved original release print, although the third reel is the least stable, while the closing reel features the most dust.

NOTES: Screened as part of Be Gay, Do Crime, a series that is exactly what it sounds like, presented with a pre-recorded intro by critic Xuanlin Tham. Was supposed to screen with a pre-recorded intro by another trans critic in April 2020 as part of a series tying into the would-be theatrical release Promising Young Woman, but has been kept away in the archive ever since. And it shows, because the print is sharp, thunderous and in tip-top condition despite a couple of missing frames.
