🍁 A FILM BY GUY MADDIN
Guy Maddin’s early masterpiece takes place in a 19th-century Alpine village where the wary residents —adult, child and animal!—must speak softly and tread lightly lest they cause an avalanche. But sexual frenzies teem in this world of repression, setting off incestuous love triangles and quadrangles with deadly consequences. Bathed in lurid, luminescent tints, Careful resembles a vintage melodrama from another planet—something that could only emerge from the singular mind of Maddin.

Featuring a remarkable ensemble — including Teresa Stratas, Lou Reed, Nick Cave, PJ Harvey, Betty Carter, Elvis Costello, Mary Margaret O’Hara, The Persuasions, William S. Burroughs, and more — the film transforms Weill’s haunting melodies and biting social commentary into a contemporary meditation on art, exile, and the human condition.

A FILM BY CHUCK SMITH
Chuck Smith revels in 1960s sounds and the spirit of counterculture with this politically pointed look back at the volatile energy of protest and creation behind the avant-garde NYC band The Fugs (say it out loud!). Even as band members Ed Sanders, Ken Weaver, and Tuli Kupferberg found that fighting the good fight eventually proved unsustainable, today they are—along with present-day commentators like Penny Arcade, Jeffrey Lewis, Lenny Kaye, and Aline and R. Crumb—just as individualistic and feisty.
