CHELSEA LATE NIGHTS A CLOCKWORK ORANGE (Stanley Kubrick, 1971, 136min, United Kingdom, R) Friday, 2/20 @ 10PM Saturday, 2/21 @ 10PM Sunday, 2/22 @ 10:30AM Staff Pick: Shelli Stanley Kubrick’s A Clockwork Orange is his most misanthropic film, depicting a future in which nearly everyone is contemptible except for Alex, a charismatic delinquent whose love of “ultra-violence” and Beethoven marks a stark reversal from the guarded optimism of 2001: A Space Odyssey. After Alex is imprisoned, he submits to an experimental behavioral therapy that conditions him to feel physical pain at the thought of violence, raising troubling questions—shared by novelist Anthony Burgess—about the moral cost of eliminating free will. Decades later, the film’s anxieties about government mind control feel less immediate in an era dominated by corporate influence over thought and behavior, leaving Kubrick’s striking production design and wide-angle compositions as its most enduring pleasures. The film also functions as a dark meditation on spectatorship, using scenes of forced viewing, classical music, and projected violence to blur ethical critique with mischievous provocation, resulting in a work that is visually meticulous but thematically unresolved.

*ADMISSION IS FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC / / FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED / / RESERVE SEATS ONLINE* AFTERSUN (dir. Charlotte Wells, 2022) Monday, February 23 – Chelsea Theater, 7:30 pm Featuring an introduction by Professor Rick Warner, UNC Film Studies. Set during a modest holiday at a Turkish resort in the early 2000s, Aftersun approaches coming of age obliquely, through memory and retrospection. Stunningly shot on 35mm film, which is contrasted with mini DV home movie video footage, the plot follows young Sophie (Frankie Corio) and her father Calum (Paul Mescal). But it is the adult Sophie’s somber attempt to reconstruct this formative trip that gives the story its emotional charge. Coming of age here is not marked by clear lessons or dramatic turning points, but by the gradual, dawning recognition of a parent’s fragility—and of the limits of childhood understanding.

CHELSEA LATE NIGHTS ALL THAT JAZZ (Bob Fosse, 1979, 123min, United States, R, Twentieth Century Fox) Friday, 4/17 @ 10PM Saturday, 4/18 @ 10PM Sunday, 4/19 @ 10:30AM Staff Pick: Sophia Juggling an exhausting work schedule and a broken home life while mounting an ambitious production for his ex-wife and editing his newest film, Joe Gideon--an unapologetic pill-popping, chain-smoking philanderer, movie director, and Broadway choreographer--is flirting with cardiac arrest. And, more and more, pestered by desirous wannabes, desperate starlets, panic-struck producers, lovelorn lovers, and a neglected daughter, Gideon wrestles with the concept of death and mortality. His ex-wife, his girlfriend, and his daughter attempt to bring him back from the brink, but it's too late for his exhausted body and stress-ravaged heart. Now the drugs don't work, and as an eventful life filled with amphetamines, alcohol, and sex flashes before his eyes, Gideon converses with eerie Angelique. Scenes from his past life start to encroach on the present as he becomes increasingly aware of his own mortality. After all, Joe deserves to meet his doom. Isn't death the final curtain everyone must face?

Look and Learn: Selections from Cosmic Rays Film Festival 2018-2022 RT: 73 minutes Featuring an introduction by program curator, John Winn! As we get ready for the 2026 Cosmic Rays Film Festival, we present Look and Learn, a selection of films screened at the Cosmic Rays Film Festival from 2018-2022. Look and Learn investigates the nature of vision and visuality, featuring work that makes innovative use of found footage, archival documents, scientific imaging, new media, drones, and celluloid. These films ask us to consider how the visual world is historically, technologically, and sensorially structured. Curated by John Winn. Films in Program: LOOK AND LEARN Janie Geiser RT: 11:15 LOOK AND LEARN excavates the visual vocabulary we use to operate and construct our daily world. Look and Learn investigates a range of material image forms: elementary school books, visual instructions (furniture assembly diagrams, how-to manuals, safety instructions, maps) and photographs—with a focus on 1950’s era school class photographs, images from photography manuals, and others. Another Horizon Stephanie Barber RT: 9:00 When I was twenty, I lived in Richard and his wife Mary’s apartment, the site of their voodoo spiritual temple in New Orleans. Of course, as priests and priestesses, Richard and Mary spoke often of death, transcendence, ethics and health. Our days were slow and filled with philosophical rumination. Richard, a brilliant old man schooling a young wandering wonderer. Are You Tired Of Forever? Caitlin Craggs RT: 6:06 A surreal montage of selfdom in a lensed world. We start in transit and end in the boudoir. Tea and light snacks will be served. The Glass Note Mary Helena Clark RT: 9:00 In The Glass Note, a collage of sound, image, and text explore cinema’s inherent ventriloquism. Across surface and form, the video reflects on voice, embodiment, and fetish through the commingling of sound and image. Sky Room Marianna Milhorat RT: 5:55 Someone is missing. Plants grow, but at what cost? Technology threatens and seduces as humans attempt to solve a mystery through telepathy and mirrors. Stainless steel and broken glass strewn about an intergalactic discotheque. Commissioned by the Chicago Film Archives and made in collaboration with sound artist Brian Kirkbride, with footage and sound from the archive chopped, manipulated and arpeggiated into a fertile mix of anthem and narrative. The Air of the Earth in Your Lungs Ross Meckfessel RT: 11:00 Drones and GoPros survey the land while users roam digital forests, oceans, and lakes. Those clouds look compressed. That tree looks pixelated. A landscape film for the 21st century. Please Step Out of Frame Karissa Hahn RT: 4:10 from your desk(top) mistrust the manufactured image distrust the assembled picture give no credence to the massed account discredit the aggregate narrative defame the corporate chronicle denigrate the collective annals doubt the constructed copy – consider the clone. accept the dismantled vision exalt the forged now brain subscribe to the ditto fuel the doodad delusion nourish the gizmo nightmare incite the idiot box prophecy inflame the dingbat phantasm a film burn becoming pixels as band-aid a manufactured reinforcement in the empire of computer and you feeding machine-vision the partition of screen khôra Caroline Key RT: 7:45 An incursion into Medicine, specifically gynecology, exposing problem origins and fraught desires. Void Vision Alexander Stewart RT: 7:30 In Void Vision the real and the simulated are equally constructions; a space where doubles, twins, duplicates, re-creations, and copies blend into one another. Void Vision combines a science-fiction sensibility with the aesthetic of early CG animation experiments. Rotating arrangements of lasers and duplicated women fade in and out onscreen, appearing as both photographed scenes and CG-modeled recreations. The audio track, incorporating text from Philip K. Dick’s VALIS, features an improvised electronic score and a voice espousing theories about the mind and the universe. Void Vision presents a consideration and re-consideration of reality; a cold fever-dream of paranoia and reification.

Gifted with the rare power to perceive these illusions for what they truly are, she chooses to enter the monster’s dreams, determined to uncover the truth that lies hidden within. In a wild and brutal era people have discovered that the secret to eternal life is to no longer dream! People not dreaming is like candles that do not burn, they can exist forever! Those who secretly continue to dream are known as “Deliriants”. They bring pain to reality and chaos to history. They send time into spasms. Starring Jackson Yee and Shu Qi with an entrancing score by M83, Bi Gan's RESURRECTION, his most ambitious and visually sumptuous film yet, burns through the silver screen and beckons us through a portal into dreams. You won’t regret stepping through it! KAILI DREAMSCAPE: THE WORLD OF BI GAN Have you ever had a dream so real it feels like a memory? Maybe as time passes an object, person, or place opens a door to a dream remembered. Suddenly that feeling or sensual experience is connected to waking life, and that dream is tossed in amongst memories, mixed together like a pile of chaotic puzzle pieces your mind tries to fit together sensibly. If you live life long enough in one place, around the same people, your mind can recreate a dreamscape out of those familiarities. The doors that blur memory and dream, time and space, mark the thresholds filmmaker and poet, Bi Gan, is unafraid to cross. For Bi Gan, that syrupy, uncanny dreamscape in his mind, hinging on familiarity, is a remembrance of Kaili, Guizhou, China, his birthplace. His major feature films are all set and filmed in Kaili.
