SUMMARY:Dont Look Back at Speed Cinema
DESCRIPTION:Dont Look Back\nDirected by D. A. Pennebaker \nThursday\, April 2\, 6 pm | BUY TICKETS \n$12 | $8 Speed and LPM members \n“Both a great concert movie and an amazing documentary of the mid-60s cutting edge pop culture.”—Michael Wilmington\, Chicago Tribune \nBob Dylan is captured on-screen as he never would be again in this groundbreaking film from D. A. Pennebaker. The legendary documentarian finds Dylan in England during his 1965 tour\, which would be his last as an acoustic artist.

Recommended for 15+ \nCo-presented with WFPK. Bob Dylan will appear in concert Monday\, April 6 at the Louisville Palace.

SUMMARY:Days and Nights in the Forest sat Speed Cinema
DESCRIPTION:Days and Nights in the Forest\nDirected by Satyajit Ray \nSaturday\, April 3\, 6 pm | BUY TICKETS \n$12 | $8 Speed members \n“Packed with cultural references and sly satire\, this is also a hugely entertaining comic romp.”—David Parkinson\, Empire Magazine \nAdapted from Sunil Gangopadhyay’s celebrated 1968 novel\, Days and Nights in the Forest is one of director Satyajit Ray’s greatest achievements\, a modern search for connection that conjures the timeless resonance of a folktale. \nDesperate to flee Calcutta’s rat race\, four friends—Ashim (Soumitra Chatterjee)\, Sanjoy (Subhendu Chatterjee)\, Hari (Samit Bhanja)\, and Shekhar (Rabi Ghosh)—drive to Palamu\, one of India’s rural “tribal lands\,” where they bribe a watchman into letting them stay at a sylvan guesthouse. Despite vowing to get away from it all\, the crew soon mixes with the locals\, including a woodland family: the soulful yet mischievous Aparna (Sharmila Tagore) takes to the overconfident Ashim\, while her widowed sister-in-law Jaya (Kaberi Bose) grows closer to the bookish Sanjoy. At the same time\, Hari\, fresh off a break-up\, woos a Santal girl named Duli (Simi Garewal); and Shekhar\, despite his own penchant for gambling\, tries to rein in his companions’ boozy hedonism. \nFilled with some of Ray’s most indelible characterizations and lavish images (shot by longtime cinematographer Soumendu Roy)\, Days and Nights in the Forest touches on masculine vulnerabilities and Indian class divisions with the graceful complexity of a master at his peak. 1970\, India\, 4K DCP\, in Bengali with English subtitles\, 116 minutes. Recommended for 14+. \nThese screenings will include a theatres-only pre-recorded introduction from director Wes Anderson. \nRestored in 4K in 2025 by The Film Foundation’s World Cinema Project and Film Heritage Foundation in collaboration with Janus Films – The Criterion Collection at L’Immagine Ritrovata laboratory\, from the original camera and sound negatives provided by Purnima Dutta and the magnetic track preserved by BFI National Archive. Funding provided by the Golden Globe Foundation. Special thanks to Wes Anderson and Sandip Ray.

SUMMARY:Serpent’s Path (1998) and Chime (2024) at Speed Cinema
DESCRIPTION:Serpent’s Path (1998) and Chime (2024)\nDirected by Kiyoshi Kurosawa \nFriday\, April 3\, 6 pm | BUY TICKETS \n$12 | $8 Speed members \nA masterclass in escalating dread and shocking violence\, Chime reaffirms Kiyoshi Kurosawa as one of modern horror’s most innovative and unpredictable visionaries. During a class\, culinary instructor Matsuoka (Mutsuo Yoshioka) witnesses the suicide of a young student (Seiichi Kohinata)\, driven to insanity by what he claims is a chiming sound that controls his mind. Soon\, Matsuoka begins hearing it\, too\, and descends into a mental abyss that warps his perception of reality and gives vent to his darkest impulses. Expertly blending psychological portraiture and hallucinatory mystery\, Kurosawa offers a chilling depiction of madness that interrogates the very stability of our everyday existence\, with the director’s patented creeping tracking shots and complex sound design fashioning an immersively terrifying and unnerving cinematic experience. 2024\, Japan\, DCP\, in Japanese with English subtitles\, 45 minutes. \nStraight off Cure (1997)\, his international breakthrough\, Kiyoshi Kurosawa directed two low-budget films using the same basic premise and the same lead actor (Sho Aikawa) to completely different ends. The experiment first resulted in Serpent’s Path (1998\, later remade in 2024)\, a dark gangland thriller with philosophical overtones. Obsessed with avenging his young daughter’s murder\, yakuza subordinate Miyashita (Teruyuki Kagawa) recruits Nijima (Aikawa)\, a brilliant yet strangely detached math teacher\, to help carry out a scheme to kidnap and torture the man allegedly responsible. But the plan goes awry when their target\, Otsuki (Yurei Yanagi)\, fingers another mobster as the mastermind behind Miyashita’s tragedy. As the two partners ascend the yakuza chain of command in search of the true culprit\, Miyashita and Nijima follow the cold\, calculating logic of revenge\, descending into a moral abyss from which they may never surface. Featuring Kurosawa’s patented long takes and his claustrophobic arrangement of space\, Serpent’s Path is one of the legendary director’s most chilling investigations into the endless cycle of violence and the evil that lodges in every heart. 1998\, Japan\, DCP\, in Japanese with English subtitles\, 85 minutes. Recommended for 17+.  Total running time: 130 minutes.

SUMMARY:Water and Power at Speed Cinema
DESCRIPTION:Lamplightings \nWater and Power\nDirected by Pat O’Neill \nSunday\, April 26\, 1 pm \nFree\, first come\, first served \n“The continuous shifts and surprises that lie at the heart of the film’s form make a kind of grand metaphor for the never-ending change that underlies nature\, civilization and the multiple symbiotic interchanges between them.”—Fred Camper\, Chicago Reader \nIts title comes from the Los Angeles water district. Much of the film was shot in the Owens Valley and in an old office building in downtown LA and is metaphorically about the exchange of energy between two places. It is also about water\, in all of its states\, and about cyclical motion: the planets\, the tides\, the implied rotation of the camera on its axis\, and the repetitive actions of the performers. There are also quotations from older movies and their soundtracks: at times their landscapes become continuous with those of the present. Human habitation in this wilderness is tenuous and risky. 1989\, U.S.\, 35mm\, 54 minutes. Recommended for 16+

SUMMARY:Steal This Story\, Please! at Speed Cinema
DESCRIPTION:Steal This Story\, Please!\nDirected by Carl Deal and Tia Lessin \nSunday\, April 26\, 3 pm | BUY TICKETS \n“Goodman’s story offers a compelling reminder that smart\, honest\, and accurate reporting is a duty\, not business.”—Pat Mullen\, POV Magazine \nUndeterred by armed soldiers\, evasive politicians\, and riot police\, journalist Amy Goodman has reported some of the most consequential stories of our time. Steal This Story\, Please! is a gripping portrait of the trailblazer whose unwavering commitment to truth-telling spans three decades of turbulent history. From the frontlines of global conflicts to the organized chaos of her daily news show Democracy Now!\, Goodman broadcasts stories and voices routinely silenced by commercial media. \nOscar-nominated filmmakers Carl Deal and Tia Lessin (Trouble the Water\, The Janes) take us behind the scenes with the warm\, wisecracking granddaughter of an Orthodox rabbi—raised in a tradition of asking hard questions—as she navigates a news landscape reshaped by technology\, corporate consolidation\, and political assaults on the press—and on truth itself. \nUrgent\, provocative and unexpectedly funny\, Steal This Story\, Please! is both a call to action and a celebration of resistance\, posing the question: what happens to democracy when the press surrenders to power? 2025\, U.S.\, DCP\, 98 minutes. Recommended for 16+.

SUMMARY:WTO/99 at Speed Cinema
DESCRIPTION:WTO/99\nDirected by Ian Bell \nSunday\, May 3\, 1 pm | BUY TICKETS \n$12 | $8 Speed members \n“Watching WTO/99 is like peering into a portal to the future.”—Alissa Wilkinson\, New York Times \nFrom November 30 to December 3 1999\, tens of thousands of people occupied the streets of downtown Seattle to make known their concerns about the existence of the World Trade Organization and its impacts on the environment\, human rights\, and labor in the largest protests against economic globalization the U.S. has ever seen. \nThe protests brought together people from divergent sections of society—anarchists\, environmentalists\, labor unions\, consumer protection advocates\, pro-democracy groups\, and even religious organizations. These protestors gathered in direct action hoping to dissuade world leadership from continued support of the WTO and strived to focus the public’s attention to the kind of future the WTO would bring forth. \nBuilding from a thousand-hour archive\, which includes more than 400 hours of never-before-seen footage\, WTO/99 reanimates the ideological conflicts that drew thousands to the streets of Seattle in hopes for a better future. The film is an immersive visual artifact of a week that brought 40\,000 people together to warn of environmental collapse\, the vanishing middle class\, and what the full inclusion of China in the World Trade Organization would mean for our collective future. The protesters—seen as a rabble-rousing nuisance at the time\, yet appearing prophetic today—were met with extreme violence by a militarized police force\, an all-too-fitting way to usher in a new century; one that is now defined by the U.S. failure to address climate change and increasing state aggression. 2025\, U.S.\, DCP\, 100 minutes. Recommended for 15+

SUMMARY:Hello Dankness at Speed Cinema
DESCRIPTION:Hello Dankness\nDirected by Soda Jerk \nSunday\, May 3\, 3:30 pm | BUY TICKETS \n$12 | $8 Speed members \n“Hello Dankness belongs to a venerable underground-film tradition of treating refracted entertainment as a mirror for society.”—Ben Kenigsberg\, New York Times \nHello Dankness is a political fable that bears witness to the psychotropic spectacle of American politics from 2016 to 2021\, and the mythologies and lore that took root around it. Taking form as a suburban stoner musical\, the film follows a neighborhood through these years as consensus reality disintegrates into conspiracy and other contagions. What unfolds is a rogue retelling of history in which hotdogs debate the culture wars\, trashcans preach QAnon\, zombies rally for revolution\, and real events are refashioned as Broadway bangers from Cats\, Les Miserables\, Annie\, and The Phantom of the Opera. \nThere are songs and dancing\, moments of menace and melancholy\, shitposting and deep sincerity. Created with Soda Jerk’s signature methodology\, Hello Dankness is entirely composed of sampled media. Utilizing extensive rotoscoping and digital VFX\, the feature length narrative has been grafted together from almost one thousand film\, television and audio sources. \nBegun in 2016 and labored on throughout the Covid-19 pandemic\, Hello Dankness is a record of the time\, written from the time. The Hollywood Reporter announced Hello Dankness as ”the most original and bizarrely elevating movie of the 2023 Berlin International Film Festival.” \nThe cast of characters include Tom Hanks\, Annette Bening\, Bruce Dern\, Ice Cube\, Wayne and Garth\, Maya and Ana\, Rue and Jules\, Seth Rogen and Reyn Doi. American politicians play themselves\, with Jesse Eisenberg in the role of Mark Zuckerberg\, and The Phantom of the Opera as Vladimir Putin. 2022\, Australia\, DCP\, 70 minutes. Recommended for 16+.
