Silent Movie Double Feature! MÉNILMONTANT and THE LAST COMMAND accompanied by Jeff Rapsis at the Cinematheque!
by Genevieve Schwartz 07 Mar '24

07 Mar '24

FYI: Silent films MÉNILMONTANT and THE LAST COMMAND accompanied by Jeff Rapsis show Friday, 3/15 at the Cleveland Institute of Art Cinematheque, 11610 Euclid Ave. Tickets are $15; $12 for CIA/CSU I.D. holders, Cinematheque members, and those age 25 & under. Please spread the word! Friday, March 15, at 7:00 pm Film Classics in 35mm! Silent Movie Double Feature! Live Accompaniment by Jeff Rapsis! MÉNILMONTANT France, 1926, Dimitri Kirsanoff THE LAST COMMAND USA, 1928, Josef von Sternberg Jeff Rapsis, our favorite New Hampshire-based silent-film accompanist, returns to the Cinematheque to improvise digital synthesizer scores for two mute masterpieces-one by a talented Russian émigré in 1920s Paris, the other about Russian émigrés in 1920s Hollywood. (We've shown neither movie before.) Ménilmontant is an impressionistic, visually sophisticated film poem (without intertitles) about two poor French sisters who are victimized by the same man. Legendary film critic Pauline Kael called it "one of the least known masterpieces of the screen" and regarded it as her all-time favorite movie. Restored DCP. 46 min. Josef von Sternberg's powerful The Last Command stars the great Emil Jannings (The Last Laugh, The Blue Angel) as a Czarist Russian army general exiled in Los Angeles, where he has been reduced to working as a bit player in movies. He lands a part as an extra in a Russian Revolution drama directed by a fellow countryman who was once his enemy (William Powell). Evelyn Brent co-stars. "The first Sternberg masterpiece...The sheer sophistication of Sternberg's visuals makes nearly all current releases look old-fashioned." -Time Out Film Guide. 35mm. 88 min. Special admission $15; members, CIA/CSU I.D. holders, age 25 & under $12; no passes. www.jeffrapsis.com See our film schedule for details. https://www.cia.edu/cinematheque/film-schedule/2024/03/mnilmontant-the-last… As a reminder, filmgoers can park for free in Lot 73 and in the Institute's annex lot, and should enter CIA via nearby Entrance C.

Cleveland Public Theatre's Popular New Play Series Test Flight Starts Tomorrow!
by Kim Furganson 06 Mar '24

06 Mar '24

Cleveland Public Theatre presents TEST FLIGHT 2024<https://www.cptonline.org/performances/seasons/2023-2024/category/series/te…> March 7 – March 30, 2024 Featuring four workshop productions by Northeast Ohio artists as part of CPT’s New Play Development Program. Many of the Test Flight productions go on to have full productions at CPT and other theatres across the country. WEEK 1: March 7 – 9 <https://www.cptonline.org/performances/seasons/2023-2024/test-flight-week-1…> Eyes of the Bridge Written by Jeanne Madison Directed by Michael Oatman What happens when Black love collides with White lust at the turn of the 20th century in the old south? Forty years later, when Luda Mae gets a mysterious summons, she sees a chance for the reckoning. Will she act? Or will the Jim Crow status quo prevail? WEEK 2: March 14 – 16 <https://www.cptonline.org/performances/seasons/2023-2024/test-flight-week-2…> Temptation of Adam Written by Samantha Cocco Directed by Mike Frye The onset of World War 3 forces a select few to move underground into top-secret missile silos. In one such bunker we find Adam, a nuclear scientist given a grave responsibility; his loyal friend Danny, grappling with his family's health; and Marie, the strong-willed object of Adam's affection. While Danny and Marie worry about the survival of their loved ones and the world, Adam's trepidation lies with whether his budding relationship with Marie would survive above ground. Temptation of Adam examines the toll that isolation takes on our lives and relationships and what we might do when desperate for love and human connection. WEEK 3: March 21-23 <https://www.cptonline.org/performances/seasons/2023-2024/test-flight-week-3…> How to Live in a House on Fire Written and Directed by Kari Barclay It’s 2020 in Berkeley, California, and wildfires are raging. As a gay couple prepares to evacuate, they decide what from the 50 years of their relationship to take with them and what to leave behind. Their preparations take them back to the night they met in a queer commune in Berkeley in radical 1970, when other fires raged through the community, and they dared to dream of a better future. WEEK 4: March 28 - 30<https://www.cptonline.org/performances/seasons/2023-2024/test-flight-week-4…> Tales of a Fat Man Written by Tyree J. Franklin Directed by Roy Tyrone James II As you can guess, the play follows the journey of a larger man's past, present, and future of navigating this world in the body he's had since childhood. It's a sort of coming-of-age retelling of the good, bad, & ugly tendencies of society. There's also a new age Greek style chorus that accompanies and sometimes antagonizes the 'Fat Man' on his journey to Self-love.  EVERY TICKET is “Choose What You Pay<https://www.cptonline.org/box-office/>” starting at $1 and can be purchased at https://www.cptonline.org/or through the CPT Box Office at 216.631.2727 ext. 501. Every Thursday is a Covid-conscious performance where masks are required, and every Friday is Free Bev (as in free beverage) Friday.
