“The comedy of the year.” —@awardswatch
BABES now playing at the Belcourt — directed by #PamelaAdlon and starring #IlanaGlazer and #MichelleButeau (tickets at link in bio, or bit.ly/Belcourt-BABES).
@neonrated @pamelaadlon @michellebuteau @ilana
“I’m as mad as hell, and I’m not going to take this anymore!”
Sidney Lumet’s 1976’s NETWORK, a hard-hitting takedown of news media that proves the rule that great satire remains relevant long after the specific circumstances have changed. See it Wed, May 22 at 5:25pm + 8pm. And at the 8pm screening, comedian, podcaster, writer and musician Chris Crofton @thecroftonshow introduces (link in bio, or bit.ly/Weekend-Classics-NETWORK).
The Belcourt Theatre’s Education and Engagement Program announces the second installment of “I See Me: A Film Seminar for Black Teen Boys,” co-presented with Vanderbilt University’s Scholar Identity Model Community Outreach Initiative. The week-long seminar will be held June 17-21, from 10 a.m. till 2 p.m. each day. “I See Me” is for African American boys age 13-17 and will spotlight high quality films about the Black male experience. Each session will include a film screening and guided discussion or activity. The seminar is free and lunch/refreshments are provided, but students must apply to be selected. Seminar applications are now online at belcourt.org/i-see-me.
This Mon, May 20 at 8pm, THE WORLD GREATEST SINNER for #MusicCityMondays — in a new 4K restoration — and introduced by artist and Belcourt staffer Cody Lee Hardin @codysuckscartoons. (Tickets at link in bio, or bit.ly/WORLDS-GREATEST-SINNER)
Insurance salesman Clarence Hilliard (Timothy Carey) falls under the influence of the devil (James Farley), quits his job and becomes an offbeat evangelist, preaching that every man is eternal and calling himself “the God Hilliard.” His cult-like following explodes as he spreads his philosophy through hip-swiveling rock ‘n’ roll. Soon he grows wealthy, seduces women of all ages and runs for president. But, when those closest to Hilliard desert him, he must face himself––and the actual God.

Just announced! Our 1999 Series throughout June! See it all at link in bio, or belcourt.org/1999 — and tickets now on sale (including Full Passes and Five Packs)!
Y2K was breathing down our collective necks, but theaters were brimming with a veritable treasure trove of work by old masters and exciting new voices. We’re celebrating that moment 25 years on with a series of 25 films (culled from a list of over 150 deserving candidates) that encapsulate the unique spirit and zeitgeist of the time, from the multiplex to the arthouse. We invite you all to take a trip with us down memory lane as the Belcourt parties like it’s 1999.
{Programmer’s note: There’s no shortage of films that really should be included here. We could easily fill two more 25-film series from the leftovers. It was that good of a year. Other factors such as rights issues, print condition and lack of availability played into some of our more glaring omissions, of which there are plenty. Additionally, some films released in 1999 had their festival premieres in 1998. Likewise, others had their festival premieres in 1999 and opened in 2000. We’ve taken license as we’ve seen fit.}
Opens Thu, May 16 — #JaneSchoenbrun’s I SAW THE TV GLOW (tickets at link in bio, or bit.ly/TV-GLOW. (At Thu’s 7:25pm screening and Fri’s 7:30pm screening, @nashvillescene film critic Jason Shawhan introduces.)
Described in the @seattletimes: “A personal, poetic and profound work…. It’s not just one of the most original American films of recent memory, but the best of the year.”

Another Science on Screen offering! This Wed, May 15 at 7pm, #DavidCronenberg’s 1983 VIDEODROME! (Tickets at link in bio, or bit.ly/Belcourt-VIDEODROME)
With a post-screening discussion presented by Carmine Grimaldi, a filmmaker, historian and teacher at Vanderbilt University — on the topic,”Videodrome is Real” — a brief journey through the bizarre and wild history of the psychiatrists, artists and utopian dreamers who tried to transform the mind with early videotape.
Science on Screen® is an initiative of the Coolidge Corner Theatre, with major support from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.
This Mon-Tue, May 13-14, CATCHING FIRE: THE STORY OF ANITA PALLENBERG — with an introduction from musical artist and DJ Amy Darling at Mon’s 8pm screening. (Tickets at link in bio, or bit.ly/ANITA-PALLENBERG)
A bittersweet tale of adventure and misadventure — from Barbarella to the Swiss Alps, and the Lower East Side of New York, Anita Pallenberg was a woman ahead of her time. This intimate documentary reveals the story of a fierce rock ‘n’ roller, actress, muse and mother who rose to prominence in the 1960s and 1970s.

Thank you, @ethanhawke, for visiting the Belcourt again and so generously sharing your time and thoughtful insights with our audiences. And supporting the work of art house theaters like the Belcourt and the audiences that support us. (FYI...Ethan last came to the Belcourt with his film BLAZE.)
And come see WILDCAT at the Belcourt — with Maya Hawke starring as the celebrated Southern Gothic writer Flannery O’Connor and Laura Linney as her mother — performances called “exquisite” by @hollywoodreporter. (Showtimes and tickets at link in bio, or bit.ly/Belcourt-WILDCAT)
