MOOLAADE
Senegal/France, 2004, Ousmane Sembene
Friday, February 25, at 7:30 pm
Saturday, February 26, at 9:40 pm
Sunday, February 27, at 5:10 pm
MOOLAADE was the most acclaimed foreign film from 2004 and finished #3
on Metacritic.com's list of the best-reviewed movies of last year! (It
was topped only by the re-release of DAYS OF BEING WILD and SIDEWAYS. Go
to www.metacritic.com). Entertainment Weekly claims, "This great work
of art has the potential to change the world." With that much praise
it's hard to imagine that the film's subject is the African custom of
female genital mutilation or "female circumcision." But the father of
African cinema, Ousmane Sembene, has crafted a highly provocative,
thoughtful, and entertaining piece while approaching this delicate
subject. Set in a small village in Africa, it tells of a courageous,
pipe-smoking woman who offers sanctuary to a group of young girls who
have fled a "purification ceremony" involving genital cutting.
Cleveland premiere! Jula and French with subtitles. 35mm. 124 min.
www.newyorkerfilms.com
NOTRE MUSIQUE
Switzerland/France, 2004, Jean-Luc Godard
Friday, Feburary 25, at 9:55 pm
Saturday, February 26, 5:30 pm
Godard's elegant and allusive new esay film, acclaimed as one of his
best (along with BREATHLESS, WEEKEND, CONTEMPT), is another of 2004's
most acclaimed movies. Structured in three movements ("Hell",
"Purgatory", and "Paradise"), the movie ruminates on war, modern
civilization, and the post 9/11 world. A dizzying display of film
clips, quotations, aphorisms, puns, and provocations, it's vintage late
Godard -- passionate, cranky, cryptic, dazzling, witty, and elegaic.
The title means Our Music. "(A) great, angry and sorrowful film for our
self-exterminating age...One of Godard's most accessible works." - L.A.
Weekly. Cleveland premiere! 35mm. 80 min. www.wellspring.com
From the sublime to the ridiculous. Only at the Cinematheque!

CINEMATHEQUE DIRECTOR JOHN EWING ON AN UPCOMING EVENT AT THE CLEVELAND
MUSEUM OF ART:
On Friday night February 25 there will be a sneak preview film screening
and a late-night film-themed party at The Cleveland Museum of Art, 11150
East Boulevard. Cinematheque patrons should take note of this special event.
The sneak preview, which begins at 7:30 pm, is Laura Paglin's
shot-in-Cleveland feature film THE NIGHTOWLS OF COVENTRY, which was
shown in a rough cut (from videotape) at the 2003 Cleveland
International Film Festival. Now the film is finished, and Laura (who
lives in Cleveland Heights) has a 35mm film print, and you can be among
the first to see it. Laura and some of her actors will answer questions
after the screening.
THE NIGHTOWLS OF COVENTRY focuses on the denizens of an all-night
Cleveland Heights deli in the early 1970s. The restaurant's clientele
reflects the changing neighborhood outside it doors: elderly Jewish men
rub elbows with hippies, bikers, local activists, and the deli's
temperamental staff and owner, Marv. I saw the film in 2003 and liked it
quite a bit. It's a funny, touching, well-acted, and accessible movie
with a big heart; I think Clevelanders will embrace it, just as they
cottened to that earlier movie about another Coventry characters,
AMERICAN SPLENDOR.
Tickets to THE NIGHTOWLS OF COVENTRY are $20 ($25 at the door), and can
be purchased in advance by calling (216) 421-7350 or by logging on to
www.clevelandart.org The price also includes admission to a late-night
"Fast Forward" party that follows the movie, running from 10 pm to 1 pm
throughout the museum and called "Cirque du Cinema." Tickets to just the
party are $10, $15 at the door.
There will be a lot happening at the party - computer-animated short
films by Siggraph members, digital movies by Cleveland Institute of Art
students, live music, a DJ, dancing, a café, access to museum galleries,
including the Philips Collection special exhibition - but I want to tell
you about one facet of the party that many will probably overlook. At
10:15 pm and again at 11:30 pm, a 65-min. program of seven awesome
experimental short films will unspool in Gartner Auditorium. I
programmed these films, and I mean it when I say that they alone are
worth the price of admission.
These avant-garde shorts come from acclaimed European filmmakers. All
are 35mm and all were made during the past few years. Four of them are
in Cinemascope and one is in Cinemascope and 3-D (glasses provided)!
Here are the titles (and the show order):
L'ARRIVEE (Austria, 1988, Peter Tscherkassky) scope, sound, 3 min.
FAST FILM (Austria/Luxembourg, 2003, Virgil Widrich) 1:66, sound, 14 min.
OUTER SPACE (Austria, 1999, Peter Tscherkassky) scope, sound, 10 min.
notes on film 01 else (Austria, 2002, Norbert Pfaffenbichler) 1.33,
sound, 7 min.
DREAM WORK (Austria, 2001, Peter Tscherkassky) scope, sound, 11 min.
MARSA ABU GALAWA (Netherlands, 2004, Gerard Holthuis), 1.85, sound, 10 min.
SLIT SCAN MOVIE (Germany, 2000, Christian Hossner), 3-D scope, silent,
10 min.
The titles are not well known, but take it from me: these are
mind-blowing movies that true cinephiles will eat up! The Tscherkassky
movies comprise a trilogy and have been much shown and written about
internationally. (This is the triology's first appearance in Cleveland.)
FAST FILM, a hit at last year's Black Maria Film Festival, is a dazzling
valentine to the movies from the Oscar-nominated director of COPY SHOP.
MARSA ABU GALAWA is a hypnotic blend of undersea life and music. And,
SLIT SCAN MOVIE, is, well, in scope and 3-D!
I hope to see you at the museum on the 25th! Take note that the films
the Cinematheque is showing that night, Sembene's MOOLAADE and Godard's
NOTRE MUSIQUE, both essential must-sees, repeat later in the weekend.

the first to see it. Laura and some of her actors will answer questions
after the screening.<br>
<br>
THE NIGHTOWLS OF COVENTRY focuses on the denizens of an all-night
Cleveland Heights deli in the early 1970s. The restaurant’s clientele
reflects the changing neighborhood outside it doors: elderly Jewish men
rub elbows with hippies, bikers, local activists, and the deli’s
temperamental staff and owner, Marv. I saw the film in 2003 and liked
it quite a bit. It’s a funny, touching, well-acted, and accessible
movie with a big heart; I think Clevelanders will embrace it, just as
they cottened to that earlier movie about another Coventry characters,
AMERICAN SPLENDOR.<br>
<br>
Tickets to THE NIGHTOWLS OF COVENTRY are $20 ($25 at the door), and can
be purchased in advance by calling (216) 421-7350 or by logging on to
<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.clevelandart.org">www.clevelandart.org</a>
The price also includes admission to a
late-night “Fast Forward” party that follows the movie, running from 10
pm to 1 pm throughout the museum and called “Cirque du Cinema.” Tickets
to just the party are $10, $15 at the door.<br>
<br>
There will be a lot happening at the party – computer-animated short
films by Siggraph members, digital movies by Cleveland Institute of Art
students, live music, a DJ, dancing, a café, access to museum
galleries, including the Philips Collection special exhibition – but I
want to tell you about one facet of the party that many will probably
overlook. At 10:15 pm and again at 11:30 pm, a 65-min. program of seven
awesome experimental short films will unspool in Gartner Auditorium. I
programmed these films, and I mean it when I say that they alone are
worth the price of admission.<br>
<br>
These avant-garde shorts come from acclaimed European filmmakers. All
are 35mm and all were made during the past few years. Four of them are
in Cinemascope and one is in Cinemascope and 3-D (glasses provided)!
Here are the titles (and the show order):<br>
<br>
L'ARRIVEE (Austria, 1988, Peter Tscherkassky) scope, sound, 3 min.<br>
<br>
FAST FILM (Austria/Luxembourg, 2003, Virgil Widrich) 1:66, sound, 14
min.<br>
<br>
OUTER SPACE (Austria, 1999, Peter Tscherkassky) scope, sound, 10 min.<br>
<br>
notes on film 01 else (Austria, 2002, Norbert Pfaffenbichler) 1.33,
sound, 7 min.<br>
<br>
DREAM WORK (Austria, 2001, Peter Tscherkassky) scope, sound, 11 min.<br>
<br>
MARSA ABU GALAWA (Netherlands, 2004, Gerard Holthuis), 1.85, sound, 10
min.<br>
<br>
SLIT SCAN MOVIE (Germany, 2000, Christian Hossner), 3-D scope, silent,
10 min.<br>
<br>
The titles are not well known, but take it from me: these are
mind-blowing movies that true cinephiles will eat up! The Tscherkassky
movies comprise a trilogy and have been much shown and written about
internationally. (This is the triology's first appearance in
Cleveland.) FAST FILM, a hit at last year’s Black Maria Film Festival,
is a dazzling valentine to the movies from the Oscar-nominated director
of COPY SHOP. MARSA ABU GALAWA is a hypnotic blend of undersea life and
music. And, SLIT SCAN MOVIE, is, well, in scope and 3-D!<br>
<br>
I hope to see you at the museum on the 25th! Take note that the films
the Cinematheque is showing that night, Sembene’s MOOLAADE and Godard’s
NOTRE MUSIQUE, both essential must-sees, repeat later in the weekend.<br>
