DEMONS (Lamberto Bava, Italy, 1985, English, 88 minutes)
Welcome to the most life-enriching Italian terror-party of 1985. Produced by Dario Argento (SUSPIRIA) and directed by Lamberto Bava, DEMONS follows a panorama of punks, preppies, and ne'er-do-wells as they get trapped in a movie theater and possessed by gut-shredding Satanic demonoids. Featuring songs by Mötley Crüe and Billy Idol, gloopy effects, and the iconic Geretta Geretta in a lead role, this is the most fun you'll ever have in a movie theater while watching a movie about beasties on the loose in a movie theater.

DEMONS II (Lamberto Bava, Italy, 1986, English, 92 minutes)
DEMONS 2 finds producer Dario Argento (SUSPIRIA) and director Lamberto Bava re-teaming to deliver the most essential Italian terror-party of 1986. A high-rise apartment building full of families, fitness buffs, and party animals watch a movie-within-a-movie on TV that's also a sequel to DEMONS. But before long, the evil escapes and turns the real world into a living hell. DEMONS 2 is a joyful, meta-enhanced goreblast that mutilates logic and delivers exactly what we want: outrageous goop, a rad post-punk soundtrack, and a demon dog with a demon puppet living inside of it. To quote the movie's original tagline: "Let's party!"

A collective of Palestinian and Israeli activist/filmmakers chronicle the Israeli military's incremental expulsion of the West Bank community of Masafer Yatta - home to 20 ancient Palestinian villages - in this tightly focused, urgent documentary. Over a period of five years (2019–23), Masafer Yatta resident and Palestinian journalist Basel Adra shoots video of home, school, water well, and road demolitions (legalized by the area's conversion to an IDF training zone) and their consequent protests by displaced residents. Israeli journalist Yuval Abraham - free to move about while Adra's movements are constricted - takes this nonviolent fight to a wider platform. The two form a complicated friendship and hopeful partnership in their efforts to resist a government-sanctioned mass eviction.

Investigating the murder of the young Hanzel (Yul Servo), shot dead one winter night on West Side Ave, police detective Juan Mijares (Joel Torres) plumbs the depths of the Filipino youth gangs of Jersey city who trade in shabu – crystal meth. Talking to the boy's mother, remarried to an American, to his grandfather, an ex-soldier as well as to his American-born girlfriend, bigger questions emerge: what dark history has pushed so many Filipinos to migrate this wintry land? Why are these the conditions of their children? What past does this detective emerge from?

Shot at the freezing turn of the millennium by a young and fearless Lav Diaz (Norte, The End of History), Batang West Side is a timeless epic about Filipino immigration over generations. Diaz's sole film shot in the United States, and the longest film to be made by a Southeast Asia director at the time, Diaz does not shy away from the power of cumulative answers, revealed intricately over the course of the kind epic runtime and Dostoyevskian themes that would become hallmarks in the oeuvre of the Filipino master.

DESERT OF NAMIBIA follows mercurial 21-year-old Kana (Yuumi Kawai), a hair-removal technician at a salon in Tokyo, who bristles against the beauty expectations placed on women her age. Her erratic mood and default to self-destruct impacts all of her relationships, as moments of levity erupt into violence and optimism simmers to despair. The award-winning Kawai embodies Kana with an emotional intensity and clear-eyed precision that evokes Gena Rowlands in Cassavettes' A WOMAN UNDER THE INFLUENCE, while Yamanaka's sophomore work sculpts a subtle intimacy reminiscent of Pialat's À NOS AMOURS and masterfully conveys the chaos and disarray of a young woman at odds with the world as much as with herself.

The story follows a famous horror novelist who, while promoting his latest book in Rome, finds himself at odds with a black-gloved lunatic on a mutilation spree. With stylized comic book visuals, a killer synth score from members of Goblin, and a pre-SCREAM, meta-enhanced exploration of violence, there's no reason to think about anything except how amazing it feels to be smitten with this movie.

Director Johan Grimonprez captures the moment when African politics and American jazz collided in this magnificent essay film, a riveting historical rollercoaster that illuminates the political machinations behind the 1961 assassination of Congo's leader Patrice Lumumba. Richly illustrated by eyewitness accounts, official government memos, testimonies from mercenaries and CIA operatives, speeches from Lumumba himself, and a veritable canon of jazz icons, Soundtrack to a Coup d'Etat interrogates colonial history to tell an urgent and timely story of precedent that resonates more than ever in today's geopolitical climate.

This debut nonfiction feature examines scientists and citizen scientists who conduct surveys of frogs, which serve as an indica- tor species; study sea stars threatened by disease; track bats whose populations have been decimated by white-nose syndrome; and collect data on insects declining at unprecedented rates. Set primarily at night, the film weaves together observational and lyrical sequences, texts written by authors including W.S. Merwin and Adam Nicolson, and an otherworldly soundscape. JUST ABOVE THE SURFACE OF THE EARTH is a visceral, sensory meditation on what it means to live in a broken world.

Dario Argento changed the course of horror history with movies like DEEP RED and SUSPIRIA. But his greatest achievement was deciding to pit Jennifer Connelly (LABYRINTH), Donald Pleasence (HALLOWEEN), and a cute monkey against a horde of killer insects. With a little bit of CARRIE, a touch of Nancy Drew, and a whole lot of black-gloved giallo mayhem, PHENOMENA is Argento's finest entry in the coked-out, anything-goes sweepstakes of 1980s horror. From the shocking violence to the songs by Iron Maiden, this movie was made to be watched by a theater full of appreciative maniacs.

The teasingly entwined ambiguities of love and death continue to fascinate Alain Guiraudie (Stranger by the Lake, NYFF51), who returns with a sharp, sinister, yet slyly funny thriller. Set in an autumnal, woodsy village in his native region of Occitanie, his latest follows the meandering exploits of Jérémie (Félix Kysyl), an out-of-work baker who has drifted back to his hometown after the death of his beloved former boss, a bakery owner. Staying long after the funeral, the seemingly benign Jérémie begins to casually insinuate himself into his mentor's family, including his kind-hearted widow (Catherine Frot) and venomously angry son (Jean-Baptiste Durand), while making an increasingly surprising-and ultimately beneficial-friendship with an oddly cheerful local priest (Jacques Develay). In Guiraudie's quietly carnal world, violence and eroticism explode with little anticipation, and criminal behavior can seem like a natural extension of physical desire. The French director is at the top of his game in Misericordia, again upending all genre expectations.

Beau Travail (1999) is a masterpiece of the unspoken, a queer film in both form and content, interrogating power dynamics, desire, and male solitude. At once a visual poem and an inner tragedy, it invites us to feel rather than to understand, reminding us that queerness is not always expressed in words, but often through the body.

Claire Denis composes a true symphony of bodies, glances, and silences, where every movement seems charged with restrained intimacy. The homoeroticism is palpable, flowing through sidelong looks and ritualized gestures. It's a hypnotic and sensual work, loosely inspired by Herman Melville's Billy Budd, that explores buried tensions, coded masculinity, and unspoken longing.
