DAYS OF BEING WILD
Thu Feb 5 at 7:30pm

�A rapturous film about cool men, hot women and the thousand and one nights and cigarettes they share.��Manohla Dargis, The New York Times

Few films evoke the bittersweet path from romanticism to heartbreak as seamlessly as Wong Kar-wai�s vibrant second feature. A Young Friends of Film screening introduced by journalist and screenwriter Jamie Wolfe and followed by a party with an open bar and hors d�oeuvres in the Furman Gallery.

Oscar Micheaux and Black Pre-War Cinema
Feb 6 � 19

�A prolific and inventive movie director� His work� offers a fascinating window into black America in the years between World War I and the beginning of the civil rights movement � a world of class division, color consciousness, striving and heartbreak that seems at once remarkably vivid and lost in time.� � A.O. Scott, The New York Times

�Micheaux and his peers created a vital body of work out of technical limitations and social restrictions. If you haven�t seen these early examples of black filmmaking, you need to get down to Lincoln Center stat!� - Time Out New York

�One of the earliest and most prolific African-American auteurs, but far more momentous were both the dignified, stereotype-refuting doctrine of his oeuvre and the frustrating truth that many of his race films are lost and barely remembered today. Lincoln Center�s �Faded Glory� retrospective impressively wrangles 35 rediscoveries and restorations from this revolutionary and his neglected contemporaries.� � Aaron Hillis, The Village Voice

Before his stint on the television series �Amos �n Andy,� Spencer Williams was a prolific actor, writer, composer, producer and director. His debut feature, the miracle play THE BLOOD OF JESUS, screens on opening night in a brand-new 35mm print, followed by a reception in the Furman Gallery. On Saturday bass singer Kevin Maynor and noted silent film pianist Donald Sosin accompany Oscar Micheaux's masterful BODY AND SOUL, featuring Paul Robeson�s screen debut in the dual roles of a hard-drinking thief and his twin brother, a hard-working inventor. On Sunday catch legendary jazz clarinetist Sidney Bechet, playing with Christopher Columbus and His Swing Band, in MOON OVER HARLEM directed by the poet laureate of the era�s low-budget indies - Edgar G. Ulmer. View the complete schedule:
