The artistic pinnacle of the classical Hollywood Western and one of the most influential American films of all time, John Ford’s sweeping VistaVision masterpiece follows embittered ex-Confederate soldier Ethan Edwards (John Wayne) on a years-long quest to find his niece Debbie (Natalie Wood), who was captured by Comanches.

Screening in a dazzling new 4K restoration, this audacious, breathlessly romantic Jean Vigo-inspired drama from French writer-director Leos Carax (Holy Motors) traces the relationship between a young painter with failing eyesight (Juliette Binoche) and a troubled street performer (Denis Lavant) living on Paris's Pont-Neuf bridge.
For their first feature in two decades, the Quay Brothers return to the work of Polish writer Bruno Schulz—the inspiration for their early stop-motion masterwork Street of Crocodiles—blending stop motion puppetry and live action in a haunting and dreamlike tale about a young man on a ghostly train ride toward a sanatorium that may exist out of time and space. All screenings of Sanatorium Under the Sign of the Hourglass will be preceded by Street of Crocodiles.
