SUMMARY:The Passion of Joan of Arc at Speed Cinema
DESCRIPTION:Faith on Film\nThe Passion of Joan of Arc\nDirected by Carl Th. Dreyer \nSunday\, July 19\, 3 pm\nFree\, first come\, first served \n“One of the most inspired and inspiring films ever made.”—David Parkinson\, Empire Magazine \nSpiritual rapture and institutional hypocrisy are brought to stark\, vivid life in one of the most transcendent achievements of the silent era. Chronicling the trial of Joan of Arc in the final hours leading up to her execution\, Danish master Carl Theodor Dreyer depicts her torment with startling immediacy\, employing an array of techniques—including expressionistic lighting\, interconnected sets\, and painfully intimate close-ups— to immerse viewers in her subjective experience. Anchoring Dreyer’s audacious formal experimentation is a legendary performance by Renée Falconetti\, whose haunted face channels both the agony and the ecstasy of martyrdom. Thought to have been lost to fire\, the film’s original version was miraculously found in perfect condition in 1981 in a Norwegian mental institution\, heightening the mythic status of this widely revered masterwork. \nLong available only in rare prints that necessitated live accompaniment\, The Passion of Joan of Arc returns to screens in a new restoration\, partnered with Richard Einhorn’s acclaimed score Voices of Light for the first time theatrically. 1928\, France\, DCP\, 81 minutes.

SUMMARY:Cockfighter at Speed Cinema
DESCRIPTION:Three Starring Warren Oates\nCockfighter\nDirected by Monte Hellman \nWednesday\, July 29\, 6 pm | BUY TICKETS\n$12 | $8 Speed members \n“Hellman embraces\, with visual nuance\, a world of back roads and forests\, grim motels and ramshackle arenas\, and he approaches the intricacies of the subculture … with a cool Hemingwayesque moralism.”—Richard Brody\, The New Yorker \nNew Hollywood’s abstract poet Monte Hellman (Two-Lane Blacktop) delivers a powerful tale of the pains of drifting in his 1974 classic Cockfighter. Frank (Warren Oates\, The Wild Bunch) is a chicken fighting trainer that has taken a vow of silence until he can successfully raise a champion. His pursuit of that goal will prove both the breadth of his skill and the depths of his empty life after living on obsession. An existentialist riff on The Odyssey with an extra coat of ‘70s grit\, Cockfighter bravely explores the suffering of an empty victory\, a view from the top with no bottom in sight. 1974\, U.S.\, DCP\, 83 minutes. Rated R.

SUMMARY:The Cramps and The Mutants: The Napa State Tapes at Speed Cinema
DESCRIPTION:The Cramps and The Mutants: The Napa State Tapes\nDirected by Joe Rees\, Mike Plante\, and Jason Willis \nThursday\, July 30\, 7 pm | BUY TICKETS \n$12 | $8 Speed and LPM members \n“One of the most seminal performances in the history of punk rock.”—Colby Smith\, The Aither \nOn June 13\, 1978\, the soon-to-be legendary rock band The Cramps went to play at Napa State\, a psychiatric hospital in the small town of Napa in Northern California. Opening for them was The Mutants\, an eclectic septet of art school punks from nearby San Francisco. Also in the van was seminal Bay Area art collective Target Video\, there to capture the show using one of the first video cameras available to the public\, democratizing a medium controlled by mainstream media outlets. \nWhat resulted may be the most unique punk show ever\, as the two bands played for the residents at the hospital\, a rehabilitation facility that was skimming the danger of being shut down by former California Governor Ronald Reagan.\nHere for the first time ever: the long-lost tape of The Mutants playing at Napa State and the full tape of The Cramps’ show\, both unedited and fully remastered from the original reel-to-reel videotape. In between the shows is We Were There To Be There\, a new short documentary about how the Napa State show happened and its lasting effect. 1978-2023\, U.S.\, DCP\, 72 minutes. Recommended for 16+ \nCo-presented with WFPK

SUMMARY:Mary Oliver: Saved by the Beauty of the World at Speed Cinema
DESCRIPTION:Mary Oliver: Saved by the Beauty of the World\nDirected by Sasha Waters Freyer \nFriday\, July 31\, 6 pm | BUY TICKETS \n$12 | $8 Speed and Women in Film-KY members \n“I am moved by [the film’s] soft nature that mirrors Oliver’s practice and mind\,”—Cortlyn Kelly\, RogerEbert.com \nIf poetry had a pop icon\, Mary Oliver would be it. Celebrated best-selling poet\, Pulitzer Prize-winner\, lover of dogs and long walks in the woods\, openly queer but intensely private\, Oliver was America’s unlikely contemporary mystic\, stalking the ponds and forests of Cape Cod for nearly fifty years in order to open herself – and her readers – to the known and unknowable world. From a lonely childhood to literary fame\, Oliver’s life was shaped by devotion to nature\, paying attention\, and the long journey toward learning to love and to be loved. Her poems inspire liberals and conservatives\, atheists and believers\, naturalists and urbanites\, speaking directly to contemporary anxieties about attention\, presence\, and the human relationship with the natural world – issues that feel especially pressing in an era of climate crisis\, digital distraction\, and social fragmentation. \nFeaturing interviews with her close friends\, including John Waters\, never-before-seen personal photos\, notebooks\, and correspondence from her archive\, and recitations of her work by Stephen Colbert\, Lucy Dacus\, Steve Buscemi\, and Oprah Winfrey\, Mary Oliver: Saved by the Beauty of the World considers the poet’s long lifetime of work in context\, capturing the uniqueness of her world and the natural beauty that inspired her. 2026\, U.S.\, DCP\, 91 minutes.
