Special Engagement! Restored New 35mm Print! The Red Shoes 4:15, 7:00 PM (1948) dir Michael Powell & Emeric Pressburger, w/Moira Shearer, Marius Goring, Anton Walbrook [133 min] Beautiful, young ballerina Victoria (Shearer) is poised to become a superstar thanks to the repressive tutelage of her teacher Lermontov (Wallbrook). However, she falls in love with the charming composer of The Red Shoes ballet, based on Hans Christian Andersen’s tale of shoes that dance the wearer to death, and must choose between her love for him and her devotion to her teacher and her art. This indelible classic has been painstakingly restored to the original brilliance of Jack Cardiff’s legendary original Technicolor photography by UCLA’s Robert Gitt and his team.

Special Screening! In Tribute to Corey Haim! THE LOST BOYS 10:00 PM Discount student tickets available at the door w/valid school ID. Brattle Member passes can be used for this screening. (1986) dir Joel Schumacker, w/Corey Haim, Corey Feldman, Jason Patric, Jami Gertz, Kiefer Sutherland [97 min] We were saddened this week by the tragic death of one of our childhood cinematic companions, Corey Haim. Haim established himself as a pop culture icon in the late 80s with roles in Lucas, Silver Bullet, License To Drive, and, of course, the vampire classic THE LOST BOYS. As a tribute to Haim, we’re interrupting our regular programming to present a 35mm screening of his most iconic screen role – as Sam Emerson, a kid who moves into a small California town with his family and winds up confronting a group of vampires that plague the area. Just to up the 80s ante, THE LOST BOYS also features Kiefer Sutherland in his creep-tastic, pre-24 years and Corey Feldman as Sam’s wisecracking, vampire-hunting compadre. “S one day only find a trailer find/upload a trailer

Special Event! CineMental: Graphic Sexual Horror 9:45 PM Tickets: $10; No passes or discounts. No one under 18 admitted. (2009) Written, directed, edited, and produced by Anna Lorentzon and Barbara Bell. Insex.com, the brainchild of ex-Carnegie Mellon professor and artist, Brent Scott, began broadcasting torture imagery in 1997, long before the recent upsurge in mainstream depictions of so-called "torture-porn." In 2005, as the Bush administration increased its own market share in real torture, the government used the Patriot Act to block Insex.com's ability to process credit cards, thus forcing Insex to close its doors. Graphic Sexual Horror chronicles the rise and fall of this subculture phenomenon, wowing crowds at Slamdance, Hot Docs, and FantasiaFest Montreal in 2009. The documentary becomes an inquiry into consent and government intervention, asking hard questions about the role of money and personal responsibility. CineMental is a series that explores the fringes of queer film, video and groundbr one day only find a trailer find/upload a trailer
