FOUR FILMS BY SHIRLEY CLARKE

FOUR FOUR FILMS FILMS BY BY SHIRLEY CLARKE SHIRLEY CLARKE


Dancer, bride, runaway wife, radical lmmaker and pioneer -Shirley Clarke is one of the great undertold stories of American independent cinema. -- Manohla Dargis, New York Times ''I'm revolting against the conventions of movies. Who says a lm has to cost a million dollars and be safe and innocuous enough to satisfy every 12-year-old in America?'' -- Shirley Clarke Working at a time when few women were making movies, Shirley Clarke boldly revolutionized what was possible in the world of independent lm. Moving from dance to cinema, she fused together experimental, documentary and narrative lm techniques, turning her camera on junkies, poets, hustlers, gang members and jazz musicians. Always pushing boundaries while staying true to her own vision, Clarke was met with censorship and marginalization at every turn, ignored by historians and written o as a dilettante. anks to Milestone, several of her greatest lms have now been made available in brand new 35mm prints and we're very proud to present them. Please join us in celebrating the incredible Shirley Clarke. THE CONNECTION (1962, 35mm) An unapologetic look at a group of heroin addicts waiting together in a seedy apartment for their dealer to arrive with a x. THE COOL WORLD (1964, 16mm) Teenaged Hampton Clanton has big ambitions: to get a gun and take over Harlem gang e Royal Pythons. PORTRAIT OF JASON (1965, 35mm) Jason Holliday -- black, gay and a self-declared hustler -narrates, invents, confesses, makes claims and ultimately challenges the camera in this feature length conversation. e result is a mesmerizing portrait of a remarkable, charming and tortured man who is by turns hilarious and heartbreaking. Music Monday: ORNETTE: MADE IN AMERICA (1985, 35mm) Captures Ornette Coleman's evolution over three decades, from his boyhood in segregated Texas to his subsequent emergence as an American cultural pioneer and world-class icon.

Homo Arigato: WILDNESS (2012) A portrait of the Silver Platter, a historic LGBT bar on the eastside of Los Angeles that has catered to the Latin immigrant community since 1963. With a magical-realist ourish, WILDNESS captures the creativity and conict that ensue when a group of young, queer artists of color organize a weekly performance art party at the bar. What does safe space mean, and who needs it? e search for answers to these questions creates coalitions across generations.

ANIMAL HOUSE Toga Party (1978) A full on party experience, one where were going to start o with a Toga Fashion show, have a Shout dance party, and, of course, paddle each other as were initiated into the greatest fraternity on the Alamo campus.

REDNECK (1973, 35mm) Telly Savalas and Franco Nero play a pair of wisecracking screw-ups who botch a jewel robbery and take a young boy hostage. Pretty soon they're tutoring the kid on the ner points of being a complete psychopath. Savalas, never noted for his actorly restraint, is like a runaway downhill ham-train. Hard-edged, violent, idiosyncratic... not your usual Italian crime movie. BLACK CAESAR (1973, 35mm) Even today, Fred Williamson's character Tommy Gibbs stands tall as the coolest mob boss of them all. BLACK CAESAR is a classical tragedy played out on the streets of Harlem with a ridiculously brilliant score by James Brown. QUEEN BOXER (1972, 35mm) Combines all the good aspects of the hallowed tradition of old school kung fu (poor dubbing, well worn plots and familiar sets and costumes) with the ass-rocking acrobatic moves of the incredible 16-year-old former Chinese Opera performer Judy Lee. She doesn't go looking for trouble but if it nds her, she'll strike like a cobra.
