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:Days and Nights in the Forest sat Speed Cinema
DESCRIPTION:Days and Nights in the Forest\nDirected by Satyajit Ray \nSunday\, April 4\, 3 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:Chungking Express at Speed Cinema
DESCRIPTION:Deeper Viewing/Urban Intimacies \nChungking Express\nDirected by Wong Kar Wai \nWednesday\, April 8\, 6 pm | BUY TICKETS \n$12 | $8 Speed members | Free for UofL students\, faculty\, and staff \nThe whiplash\, double-pronged Chungking Express is one of the defining works of nineties cinema and the film that made Hong Kong filmmaker Wong Kar Wai an instant icon. \nTwo heartsick Hong Kong cops (Takeshi Kaneshiro and Tony Leung)\, both jilted by ex-lovers\, cross paths at the Midnight Express take-out restaurant stand\, where the ethereal pixie waitress Faye (Faye Wong) works. \nAnything goes in Wong’s gloriously shot and utterly unexpected charmer\, which cemented the sex appeal of its gorgeous stars and forever turned canned pineapple and the Mamas and the Papas’ “California Dreamin’” into tokens of romantic longing. 1994\, Hong Kong\, 4K DCP\, in Cantonese with English subtitles\, 102 minutes. Recommended for 16+. \nCo-presented with the Department of English\, UofL and featuring a post-screening discussion led by Assistant Professors Laura Tscherry and Savannah Trent\, with special guest Zikai Pang (Indiana University)\, an expert on urban spaces in contemporary Chinese cinema. \nUrban Intimacies is a four-part screening and conversation series presented by Tscherry and Trent. The series brings together films about urban encounters and their consequences\, to trace how representation of the city and its inhabitants have changed over time and cultural contexts\, an examines how these encounters can contribute to our understanding of the complex interplay of race\, class\, sexuality\, and space in homemaking and kinmaking.

SUMMARY:Opening day for "vanessa german: ...do you remember when you were the sky?"
DESCRIPTION:April 10 – June 28\, 2026\nChellgren Gallery \nThis spring\, artist vanessa german returns to the Speed Art Museum to present the inaugural exhibition of the Sam Gilliam Visiting Artist Program (SGVAP). This presentation of new work marks the culmination of german’s social- and community-based project in Louisville\, which has unfolded over months of research\, public discussion\, and collaboration with local communities.  \nFor her participation in the SGVAP\, german began with research and community engagement across Louisville\, including meetings with local historians at the Portland Museum\, studio visits with University of Louisville sculpture students\, and time spent in spiritual meditation at the Ohio River. These experiences informed a three-day performance series\, Future Histories of Emancipation\, in October 2025\, centered on the history of the Colored Girls Dormitory at the Louisville Industrial School of Reform (now known as Gottschalk Hall on the campus of the University of Louisville\, minutes from the Museum). This site\, largely erased from public memory\, was once home to fifteen girls\, six of whom escaped in 1913. Through re-imagining their stories\, german illuminates a legacy of resistance\, self-determination\, and courage—connecting past and present in profound and spiritual ways.  \n…do you remember when you were the sky? highlights german’s signature assemblage sculptural practice. Combining a vast range of materials—from rope\, mineral crystals\, skateboards\, hand-sewn quilts\, and doll parts to cowrie shells sourced during her nationwide travels—the sculptures in this exhibition become active embodiments of young girls in motion. The exhibition presents a phantasmagorical scene that invokes both dreams and nightmares: figures leap\, some fall\, and others soar\, forming a living installation that binds local history to new imaginative terrains. These works call us to examine the immediacy of our own lives\, as well as the radical acts toward freedom we too may choose to participate in. Artworks generated in collaboration with community members during german’s October performances have been integrated into this new body of work\, making Louisville residents themselves co-creators of this unique exhibition.  \nLike Sam Gilliam\, german pushes the boundaries of materials\, storytelling\, and form. Her Louisville project extends the mission of the Sam Gilliam Visiting Artist Program: to bring nationally celebrated artists to Louisville\, spark meaningful public participation\, and create site-responsive artworks.  \nThis exhibition is organized by Diallo Simon-Ponte\, Sam Gilliam Assistant Curator of Artist Programs. Additional support is provided by Taleah Gipson\, Curatorial Administrative Assistant\, Tyler Blackwell\, Curator of Contemporary Art\, and Adia Elam\, Sam Gilliam Visiting Artist Program Intern.   \nSupport for the Sam Gilliam Visiting Artist Program is provided by The Sam Gilliam Foundation.
