Join us for a Q&A with writer/editor/director Gints Zilbalodis & co-writer/producer Matīss Kaža as they discuss their animated fantasy adventure Flow. An animated film in which animals actually act like animals and flood waters fill a wondrous, almost otherworldly landscape, Flow charts a new course for feature animation with its innovative style and exceptional command of storytelling. Through action, a gorgeous score, and an immersive soundscape, filmmaker Gints Zilbalodis and writer/producer Matīss Kaža create a haunting, gorgeously-realized human-less world where animal friendship and camaraderie are the only way for any creature to see another day. Nominated for both the Best International Feature and Best Animated Feature Oscars and an ACE Eddie Award, Flow announces the arrival of exciting new talents in the world of animation whose emotionally-driven, visually dazzling approach to the art form promises to continue to move it forward.

Join us for a Q&A with editor Jay Rabinowitz, ACE, as he discusses his work on 2000 psychological drama Requiem for a Dream. Darren Aronofsky’s second film, Requiem for a Dream, is a hellish work of drama about a group of individuals whose lives are torn apart by their drug addictions. While drug addiction films are a dime a dozen, what distinguishes Requiem from all of the other films of its kind is its complete commitment to assaulting all of the senses in an effort to bring the audience as close as possible to its characters’ broken minds and lives. Grounded by Ellen Burstyn, Jared Leto, and Jennifer Connolly’s heartbreaking performances, Requiem is also one of the best-edited films of all time, providing a showcase for Jay Rabinowitz’s experimental, shocking work that provides the film with much of its haunting power.

Join us for a Q&A with writer/director Jack Hill, as he discusses his 1974 action film Foxy Brown. After teaming up for the acclaimed Coffy, filmmaker Jack Hill and star Pam Grier reunited for the wildly entertaining Foxy Brown. Proving once again that Pam Grier is a force of nature onscreen, this film about a woman who goes out for revenge against the drug dealers who killed her boyfriend is a subversive feminist statement under the guise of a standard blaxploitation film. A major influence on countless subsequent films including Quentin Tarantino’s Jackie Brown (which also starred Pam Grier), this wonderful original holds up beautifully as a glorious ode to female power.

Join us for a Q&A with director/co-writer Lee Unkrich, ACE, writer Michael Arndt, producer Darla K. Anderson, supervising animator Bobby Podesta, and head of story Jason Katz, as they discuss their 2010 animated film Toy Story 3. Handling life's changes and finding emotional closure are themes that most wouldn't associate with a film about anthropomorphic toys, but that's exactly what Toy Story 3 is. With two previous installments that were instant classics and the curse of second sequels usually being disappointments, this film had a lot going against it. But, the minute Toy Story 3 hit screens, it entered the pantheon of great films due to the obvious care, intelligence, and love poured into its creation. Filled with hilarious one-liners and new characters as well as a real emotional punch and typically strong vocal performances from its talented cast and expertly edited Ken Schretzmann, ACE, Toy Story 3 is another high point from Pixar and is one of three animated features in history to be honored with an Oscar nomination for Best Picture (it won Oscars for Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song).

Join us a Q&A with director/executive producer Brian Kirk and editor Luke Dunkley as they discuss their work on the 2024 British spy thriller television series The Day of the Jackal. An unrivaled and highly elusive lone assassin, The Jackal (Eddie Redmayne), makes his living carrying out hits for the highest fee. But following his latest kill, he meets his match in a tenacious British intelligence officer (Lashana Lynch) who starts to track down the Jackal in a thrilling cat-and-mouse chase across Europe, leaving destruction in its wake.

Join us a Q&A with VFX Supervisor Richard Edlund, ASC, as he discuss his work on the 1981 action-adventure Raiders of the Lost Ark. A masterclass in filmmaking, Raiders of the Lost Ark is one of cinema’s most oft-imitated but never equalled pieces of brilliance. From Lawrence Kasdan’s whip-smart (pun intended) screenplay to Spielberg’s typically confident direction to Richard Edlund and co’s Oscar-winning visual effects to Michael Kahn, ACE's expert editing to John William’s rousing score to Harrison Ford’s career-defining performance, everything about this film is instantly-iconic. While Raiders may be an homage to films and serials of days gone by, it remixes these older works through a new lens with cutting-edge technology and manages to thrill no matter how many times it's viewed.

Based on Dennis Tafoya’s book Dope Thief, the series follows long-time Philly friends and delinquents who pose as DEA agents to rob an unknown house in the countryside, only to have their small-time grift become a life-and-death enterprise, as they unwittingly reveal and unravel the biggest hidden narcotics corridor on the Eastern Seaboard.

In season four of Only Murders in the Building, Charles, Oliver & Mabel wrestle with the shocking events at the end of season three surrounding Charles’ stunt double & friend Sazz Pataki. Questioning whether Sazz or Charles was the intended victim, our trio’s investigation leads them all the way to Los Angeles where a Hollywood studio is readying a film about the Only Murders podcast. As our amateur sleuths race back to New York, they embark on an even more epic journey — traversing their building’s courtyard to delve into the twisted lives of the Arconia’s West Tower residents.

Join us for a Q&A with director/co-writer/producer George Miller as he discusses his 2015 post-apocalyptic action film Mad Max: Fury Road. At Picturehouse 441, we've never repeated ourselves, but we felt that if there ever was an occasion to do so, this would be the one, especially on the exact 10th anniversary of its release. With Mad Max: Fury Road, gonzo filmmaker George Miller returned to the series with which he made his name and created an instantly-iconic, action masterpiece. A visually maximalist, narratively minimalist post-apocalyptic adrenaline rush of pure cinema, the fourth entry in this legendary franchise is a fever dream of insane action sequences, expertly cut by editor Margaret Sixel, ACE, who won the Oscar for her work. A deeply pleasurable assault on the senses that was deservingly hailed as a landmark in action cinema, Mad Max: Fury Road is the result of a filmmaker and his team who adventured to the cliff of madness and lived to give audiences a glimpse of what was over the edge.

Join us for a Q&A with director Hwang Dong-hyuk & editor Nam Na-young as they discuss their work on Season 2 of the South Korean dystopian thriller series Squid Game. Three years after winning Squid Game, Player 456 remains determined to find the people behind the game and put an end to their vicious sport. Using this fortune to fund his search, Gi-hun starts with the most obvious of places: look for the man in a sharp suit playing ddakji in the subway. But when his efforts finally yield results, the path toward taking down the organization proves to be deadlier than he imagined: to end the game, he needs to re-enter it. Director Hwang Dong-hyuk, who made history at the 74th Primetime Emmys® becoming the first Asian to win Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series, once again helms the series as director, writer, and producer. Lee Jung-jae, Lee Byung-hun, Wi Ha-jun, and Gong Yoo reprise their roles from Season 1 with an impeccable list of new cast members including Yim Si-wan, Kang Ha-neul, Park Gyu-young, Lee Jin-uk, Park Sung-hoon, Yang Dong-geun, Kang Ae-sim, Lee David, Choi Seung-hyun, Roh Jae-won, Jo Yu-ri, and Won Ji-an rounding out the ensemble of colorful characters in the new season.
