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!"

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.

Poster creation: Brianna Miller (@briannanus)

Mommie Dearest (1981) is a bold, campy, and unforgettable portrayal of the tumultuous relationship between iconic Hollywood actress Joan Crawford and her adopted daughter Christina. It's an essential film in queer cinema, not just for its camp value but for its exploration of the complex mother-daughter relationship and its portrayal of a woman who refuses to fit into societal molds.

Directed by Frank Perry and based on Christina Crawford's memoir, the film dives deep into the darker side of Hollywood stardom, revealing a woman's obsession with control, perfection, and the cost of fame. Faye Dunaway's performance as Joan Crawford is a masterclass in over-the-top intensity, delivering some of cinema's most memorable moments.

New 4K Restoration

Feature preceded by short film LET THE RED MOON BURN by Ralitsa Doncheva

Over the course of a single nightshift, a West London hotel clerk (U.K. counterculture icon Jordan) plays silent witness to a nocturnal constellation of guests ranging from punk rockers and scenester magicians to seemingly staid businessmen and old-world gentry. As the hours march deeper into night and the varied clientele depart the waking world, the hotel transforms into an otherworldly, liminal space swaying between the everyday and the enchanting.

Gorgeously photographed by Jon Jost (All the Vermeers in New York) with a soundtrack by Simon Jeffes of the legendary Penguin Cafe Orchestra, Nightshift is both a potent snapshot of London's early-'80s art scene (actor/poet Heathcote Williams and filmmaker Anne Rees-Mogg also star) and a bold, instantly engrossing artistic statement from director Robina Rose. A masterwork of surreal, somnambulant cinema, the film casts a resonant spell audiences won't soon forget.

Essentially unseeable for decades, Arbelos is proud to bring Nightshift to North American audiences in this rich new 4K restoration courtesy of Lightbox Film Center.

After cracking skulls and souls with the supernatural one-two punch of SUSPIRIA and INFERNO, Dario Argento went back to basics with TENEBRE-a brilliant Giallo and one of the filmmaker's most assured achievements. 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.

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.

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.

In 1920s Montana, charismatic alpha-male Phil runs a successful ranch with his mild-mannered brother George. The two coexist peaceably until the day George unexpectedly brings home a new bride: a local widow with a teenaged son. Phil, outraged by the union, which he sees as a threat, vows to do his utmost to tear the couple apart. Set to stunning natural backdrops, this family epic with its multiple twists and turns is a fascinating study in toxic masculinity, sibling cruelty and latent desire. The legendary New Zealand director, back after a twelve-year hiatus, has clearly lost none of her edge in her latest outing, a slow-burn revisionist western adapted from the novel by Thomas Savage. Featuring a rivetingly venomous performance from Benedict Cumberbatch and a disconcerting score by Johnny Greenwood. – Text written for Festival du nouveau cinéma

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.
