Edging against neorealism but devoid of its sentimentalism, Buñuel zeroes in on the brutalities of life lived in poverty without any undercurrent of redemption. In 1951, Octavio Paz wrote of the film, “The world of LOS OLVIDADOS is peopled by orphans, by loners who seek communion…the quest for the ‘other,’ for our likeness, equals, is the other side of the search for the mother. Or the acceptance of her definitive absence, that knowledge that we are alone.” LOS OLVIDADOS was among Barbara Loden’s favorite films.<br /><br /><a href="https://ticketing.us.veezi.com/sessions/?siteToken=bsrxtagjxmgh2qy0b6p646xdcr"><strong>CLICK HERE TO BUY TICKETS NOW!</strong></a></p> Sunday, August 02 https://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/film_screenings/calendar?view=list&month=08&year=2026#showing-61659 <p>“Marcel Duchamp’s ANÉMIC CINÉMA has fascinated audiences ever since it was first screened 100 years ago. The film alternates between rotoreliefs (spinning discs that create an illusion of three-dimensional space) and naughty French puns (which Man Ray called ‘delicious pornographic anagrams’). Duchamp himself released a spiritual successor to ANÉMIC CINÉMA in 1947 called DISCS, which incorporates numerous elements that aren’t present in the original film, including color, music, and live action re-creations of Duchamp paintings, such as ‘Nude Descending a Staircase, No. 2’ (1912). Around the same time, someone released a mysterious version of ANÉMIC CINÉMA that includes added footage of a young woman and a sequence from a canonical narrative film of the 1920s. (Duchamp claims that he had nothing to do with this version of the film – but can we trust him?) And in recent decades, ANÉMIC CINÉMA has inspired countless experimental films, including works by Peggy Ahwesh, Gustav Deutsch, and Siegfried Fruhauf.

The film, boldly using mostly still photographs, is based on Berger’s book of the same name, which was both a work of fiction and a history of French Peasant experience, as told by John “the story teller”, as if in the peasant’s own voices. All of this was given brilliant visual expression in the film through a series of beautifully edited sequences, each constructed from vivid and moving photographs of peasants and their lives, in black and white and color, by Berger’s friend and long-time collaborator, the Swiss photographer Jean Mohr.<br /><br /><br />Michael Dibb<br />OMNIBUS: PARTING SHOTS FROM ANIMALS<br />1980, 50 min, 16mm-to-DCP<br />PARTING SHOTS FROM ANIMALS was inspired by essays by John Berger and developed in collaboration with Chris Rawlence.

While Berger doesn’t appear in the film and wasn’t directly involved in its making, he narrates to great effect the text he co-wrote to accompany the film’s provocative opening sequence.<br /><br />Total running time: ca. 105 min.<br /><br /><a href="https://ticketing.us.veezi.com/sessions/?siteToken=bsrxtagjxmgh2qy0b6p646xdcr"><strong>CLICK HERE TO BUY TICKETS NOW!</strong></a> </p> Sunday, August 02 https://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/film_screenings/calendar?view=list&month=08&year=2026#showing-61701 <p>Prolific artist, philosopher, writer, storyteller and “radical humanist” John Berger is the focus of this vivid four-part cinematic portrait. In 1973, he moved from urban London to the tiny Alpine village of Quincy. THE SEASONS IN QUINCY examines different aspects of Berger’s life in this remote village in the Alps. In four seasonal chapters, the film combines ideas and motifs from his work with the texture and history of his mountain home. In Colin MacCabe’s “Ways of Listening”, Tilda Swinton, a longtime friend and collaborator, joins Berger for a frank and revealing conversation; in “Spring”, directed by Christopher Roth, Berger’s seminal writing on animals is illuminated by local farming practice and set alongside other philosophical approaches to animal consciousness; Bartek Dziadosz and Colin MacCabe’s “A Song for Politics” finds Berger joined by writers Ben Lerner and Akshi Singh, along with MacCabe and Roth, for a lively political discussion of our present moment and its relationship to the past; and finally, in Tilda Swinton’s “Harvest”, Berger’s son and Swinton’s children join their parents for a visually rich journey to Quincy from the Scottish highlands, seeing the countryside anew.<br /><br /><a href="https://ticketing.us.veezi.com/sessions/?siteToken=bsrxtagjxmgh2qy0b6p646xdcr"><strong>CLICK HERE TO BUY TICKETS NOW!</strong></a> </p> Monday, August 03 https://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/film_screenings/calendar?view=list&month=08&year=2026#showing-61663 <p>Charles Atlas & Merce Cunningham<br />WALKAROUND TIME<br />1973, 48 min, 16mm-to-DCP<br />WALKAROUND TIME marks Charles Atlas’s first visual documentation of a Merce Cunningham dance. Its set consists of seven large translucent inflatables screen-printed with images taken from Marcel Duchamp’s “The Bride Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors, Even” (1915-1923), commonly referred to as “The Large Glass”. Artist Jasper Johns, who had been Cunningham’s artistic adviser since 1966, proposed the set idea to Cage, Cunningham, and Duchamp during an after-dinner conversation.<br /><br />“Though the choreography, music and decor were each independently conceived, they shared a common thematic purpose: an homage to the work of Marcel Duchamp. Cunningham has translated Duchamp’s concern with transparency in terms of a dance which explores the possibilities of lateral movement across a proscenium space. Cunningham’s ready-made is the ‘laissez-faire’ movement during the ‘entr’acte’, and when he changes costume on stage it is a nod to the famous nude.” –Charles Atlas<br /><br />Shigeko Kubota & Nam June Paik<br />MERCE BY MERCE BY PAIK PART TWO: MERCE AND MARCEL<br />1978, 13 min, video<br />In MERCE AND MARCEL, Nam June Paik and Shigeko Kubota create a densely textured, transcultural collage that pays tribute to the eponymous artists by addressing the relationship of art and life. Paik and Kubota link art to the movements and gestures of the everyday: “Is this dance?” reads the text over an aerial view of taxis moving through the streets of New York, and the image of a baby’s tottering first steps. A rare interview with Duchamp by Russell Connor is re-edited by Paik in a rapid, stutter-step progression. In a witty temporal layering that Paik terms a “dance of time,” an interview with Cunningham, also by Connor, is intercut and superimposed with the earlier interview of Duchamp: “Time reversible – Time irreversible.”<br /><br />Total running time: ca. 65 min.<br /><br /><a href="https://ticketing.us.veezi.com/sessions/?siteToken=bsrxtagjxmgh2qy0b6p646xdcr"><strong>CLICK HERE TO BUY TICKETS NOW!</strong></a> </p> Monday, August 03 https://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/film_screenings/calendar?view=list&month=08&year=2026#showing-61665 <p>[JEU D’ÉCHEC AVEC MARCEL DUCHAMP]<br /><br />“Filmed in 1963 the program offers an in-depth dialogue between Duchamp and filmmaker Jean-Marie Drot over a game of chess and a tour of Duchamp’s first one man show at the Pasadena Art Museum in 1963. Duchamp details his life and work only five years before his death in a discussion of his time in the United States after fleeing France in 1915. The discussion touches on his view of the country in social and political terms as well as its impact on his own work, intermingled with visual contemplations on the progression of his artwork from painting to photographs throughout his career.” –ACMI<br /><br /><a href="https://ticketing.us.veezi.com/sessions/?siteToken=bsrxtagjxmgh2qy0b6p646xdcr"><strong>CLICK HERE TO BUY TICKETS NOW!</strong></a> </p> Monday, August 03 https://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/film_screenings/calendar?view=list&month=08&year=2026#showing-61693 <p>“Set at the twilight of the century, WALK THE WALK follows a family of three that splits apart, each member trying to find their own way in post-historical Europe. Abel (Jacques Martial), an athlete, travels to Eastern Europe, encountering the ruins of the Soviet project; the microbiologist Nellie (Laure Duthilleul) remains in southern France, undertaking an inward voyage; their teenage daughter Raye (Betsabée Haas) journeys eastward from Marseille after a potential exposure to HIV. It is well known that Kramer’s DOC’S KINGDOM (1988) and ROUTE ONE/USA (1989) drew inspiration from John Berger and Jean Mohr’s book ‘A Fortunate Man’. However, WALK THE WALK may be the Kramer film closest to the style and concerns of Berger’s writing of the period – particularly ‘To the Wedding’, his 1995 novel about a split family traveling across post-Cold War Europe and grappling with the daughter’s HIV diagnosis. Kramer sent a series of letters to Berger in the early 1990s in the lead up to WALK THE WALK. In one of these letters (from 1994), Kramer wrote of the film: ‘abel is NOT me. You are not me. Yet…borderlines of consciousness and character blurr’ [sic].” –Benjamin Crais<br /><br /><strong>The screening on Fri, July 31 will be introduced by film critic and curator Benjamin Crais.</strong><br /><br /><a href="https://ticketing.us.veezi.com/sessions/?siteToken=bsrxtagjxmgh2qy0b6p646xdcr"><strong>CLICK HERE TO BUY TICKETS NOW!</strong></a> </p> Monday, August 03 https://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/film_screenings/calendar?view=list&month=08&year=2026#showing-61593 <p>“It is stupid to treat Charlie as a clown of genius. If there had never been a cinema he would undoubtedly have been a clown of genius, but the cinema has allowed him to raise the comedy of circus and music hall to the highest aesthetic level. Chaplin needed the medium of the cinema to free comedy completely from the limits of space and time imposed by the stage or the circus arena. […] [The] best Chaplin films can be seen over and over again with no loss of pleasure – indeed the very opposite is the case. It is doubtless a fact that the satisfaction derived from certain gags is inexhaustible, so deep does it lie, but it is furthermore supremely true that comic form and aesthetic value owe nothing to surprise. The latter is exhausted the first time around and is replaced by a much more subtle pleasure, namely the delight of anticipating and recognizing perfection.” –André Bazin, WHAT IS CINEMA<br /><br />A WOMAN (1915, 20 min, 16mm)<br />EASY STREET (1917, 19 min, 16mm)<br />THE CURE (1917, 26 min, 16mm)<br />PAY DAY (1922, 22 min, 35mm)<br /><br />Total running time: ca. 90 min.<br /><br /><a href="https://ticketing.us.veezi.com/sessions/?siteToken=bsrxtagjxmgh2qy0b6p646xdcr"><strong>CLICK HERE TO BUY TICKETS NOW!</strong></a></p> Tuesday, August 04 https://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/film_screenings/calendar?view=list&month=08&year=2026#showing-61696 <p>The first great success of renowned Swiss filmmaker Alain Tanner, THE SALAMANDER also represents one of his many collaborations with John Berger: between 1966-76 the pair made four films together (including Tanner’s most famous, the 1976 feature, JONAH WHO WILL BE 25 IN THE YEAR 2000). THE SALAMANDER begins with a succession of enigmatic images: a man is shown cleaning his gun; the gun goes off; furtively, a woman’s face appears. From this mysterious opening, Tanner and Berger build a metaphorical scenario: two men, a journalist and a writer, are determined to discover the truth about this woman. Each uses his own weapons: documentary research in one case, boundless imagination in the other. But gradually, both courses of action prove futile. The beauty of the film lies in its capacity to develop a theme without ever belaboring its message: that reality outruns all efforts to grasp it. As played by Bulle Ogier, Rosemonde remains a definitive incarnation of post-1968 freedom.<br /><br /><a href="https://ticketing.us.veezi.com/sessions/?siteToken=bsrxtagjxmgh2qy0b6p646xdcr"><strong>CLICK HERE TO BUY TICKETS NOW!</strong></a> </p> Tuesday, August 04 https://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/film_screenings/calendar?view=list&month=08&year=2026#showing-61594 <p>CITY LIGHTS, the most cherished film by Charlie Chaplin, is also his ultimate Little Tramp chronicle.

Screening courtesy the artist and Picture Palace Pictures.<br />“The black western richly provokes the mythology of the American West and the idea of film genre as a historiographic Imagineering by tacitly revealing how the narrative form has covertly borne a racial and cultural ideal. The genre’s classical themes of nation-building, the civilizing of savage lands, utopianism, and the discreteness of good and evil become refabulated as Everson draws attention to absences, disavowals, and the difference of a culture other than pale riders. Everson’s TEN FIVE IN THE GRASS examines the craft of the black cowboy. The film illustrates Everson’s interest in everyday intellect by observing the rituals of the grooming of horses, riding, and roping. The piece is set in a practice space in Natchez, Mississippi run by Fred Mayberry, a rancher and professional rodeo calf roper.” –Michael B.

The very choice of the Western and of satirical comedy was in itself already a step in opposition to the official presentation of the Western as ‘a fallen and damaging genre’. In a typical main street of a small town in the far West, a fight takes place between the handsome hero, Joe, and an ugly scoundrel. Joe is an agent for a company that produces the soft drink ‘Kolaloka’ and is trying to enforce the prohibition of alcohol. [SODA POP JOE’s] charm, bravura and humor ensured it 4.5 million viewers and the film is still regularly shown on Czech and Slovak TV stations.” –ROTTERDAM FILM FESTIVAL<br /><br /><a href="https://ticketing.us.veezi.com/sessions/?siteToken=bsrxtagjxmgh2qy0b6p646xdcr"><strong>CLICK HERE TO BUY TICKETS NOW!</strong></a> </p> Monday, August 10 https://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/film_screenings/calendar?view=list&month=08&year=2026#showing-61770 <p>Juan Sáyago returns to his hometown after serving 18 years in prison for the murder of Raúl Trueba. Although he killed in self-defense, rumors in town circulated during his absence speculating that the victim was killed in cold blood. Sáyago wants to rebuild the life he was denied with his old lover, Mariana Sampedro, but Trueba’s sons have sworn to avenge the murder of their father. This classic Mexican neo-western was the first realized screenplay of Nobel Prize winner Gabriel García Márquez and legendary Mexican novelist Carlos Fuentes. Under the direction of Arturo Ripstein, TIME TO DIE represents one of the earliest examples of New Mexican Cinema and one of the most accomplished Mexican films from the 1960s.<br /><br /><a href="https://ticketing.us.veezi.com/sessions/?siteToken=bsrxtagjxmgh2qy0b6p646xdcr"><strong>CLICK HERE TO BUY TICKETS NOW!</strong></a> </p> Tuesday, August 11 https://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/film_screenings/calendar?view=list&month=08&year=2026#showing-61767 <p>“Millie Perkins stars as an unnamed woman who hires two men – an ex-bounty hunter (Warren Oates) and his sidekick (Will Hitchins) – to take her through the desert on a mysterious revenge mission.

Written by Carole Eastman (FIVE EASY PIECES) and unofficially financed by Roger Corman, this film is less a revisionist Western and more a surreal, unsettling narrative set in the American West.

The opening night event features an exceedingly rare screening of Mikio Naruse’s LITTLE PEACH, described by Chris Fujiwara as both “a masterpiece of Naruse’s elliptical and unemphatic fifties style” and “one of the harshest of Naruse’s female melodramas.” Known for her iconic roles as the little sister or the enduring daughter, Kagawa here lends her tenderness to the beleaguered adult role of wife to a would-be novelist in perpetual collapse. Echoing SOUND OF THE MOUNTAIN in the many walks and talks with the great Sō Yamamura as paternal figure, with its buoyant bike rides and painful vision of marriage as social fate, the film also gestures at a spiritual afterlife for Ozu’s LATE SPRING.<br /><br />Following this opening night event, “Kyoko Kagawa Rarities” continues at Asia Society through Sunday, August 16, with screenings of FAREWELL TO THE HIGHLAND STATION (Nobuo Nakagawa, 1951), TOKYO RENDEZVOUS (Chihiro Ikeda, 2008), FIVE SISTERS (Seiji Hisamatsu, 1954), and SHOZO, A CAT AND TWO WOMEN (Shiro Toyoda, 1956), featuring imported archival prints and newly translated subtitles.<br /><br />“Kyōko Kagawa Rarities” is programmed by Joseph Eusebio and Akinaru Rokkaku and is a co-presentation of Asia Society, Anthology Film Archives, and The Japan Foundation, New York.<br /><br />For more info about the Asia Society screenings visit:<br /><a href="https://asiasociety.org/new-york/kyoko-kagawa-rarities">https://asiasociety.org/new-york/kyoko-kagawa-rarities</a><br /><br />Special thanks to Hiroyuki Kojima (Japan Foundation, New York), Inney Prakash (Asia Society), and Shion Komatsu (Toho).<br /><br /><a href="https://ticketing.us.veezi.com/sessions/?siteToken=bsrxtagjxmgh2qy0b6p646xdcr"><strong>CLICK HERE TO BUY TICKETS NOW!</strong></a> </p> Thursday, August 13 https://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/film_screenings/calendar?view=list&month=08&year=2026#showing-61677 <p>A highly personal look at Rosario Suárez, the former prima ballerina of the Ballet Nacional de Cuba, an expressive dancer with a dazzling technique and a singular interpretive style.<br /><br /><a href="https://ticketing.us.veezi.com/sessions/?siteToken=bsrxtagjxmgh2qy0b6p646xdcr"><strong>CLICK HERE TO BUY TICKETS NOW!</strong></a> </p> Thursday, August 13 https://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/film_screenings/calendar?view=list&month=08&year=2026#showing-61837 <p>A highly personal look at Rosario Suárez, the former prima ballerina of the Ballet Nacional de Cuba, an expressive dancer with a dazzling technique and a singular interpretive style.<br /><br /><strong>Followed by a Q&A with protagonist Rosario Suárez!</strong><br /><br /><a href="https://ticketing.us.veezi.com/sessions/?siteToken=bsrxtagjxmgh2qy0b6p646xdcr"><strong>CLICK HERE TO BUY TICKETS NOW!</strong></a> </p> Friday, August 14 https://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/film_screenings/calendar?view=list&month=08&year=2026#showing-61777 <p>Glauber Rocha’s sophomore feature is a scorched-earth allegory about the blind followers of dead-end ideologies.
