The Hireling in 35mm
The powerful film version of the novel by L.P. Hartley (The Go-Between, 1971) shared the Palme d’Or at the 1973 Cannes Film Festival. Sarah Miles (who won the Cannes Special Jury Prize for her performance) plays Lady Franklin, an emotionally fragile young widow in post-WWI England, where an unexpected bond with her hired driver (a movingly restrained Robert Shaw) leads to misunderstanding and heartbreak.

The Year of the Cannibals (I cannibali) in 4K
Known internationally for her divisive, erotic wartime drama The Night Porter (1974), Italian filmmaker Liliana Cavani got her start in biographical television dramas with films about Saint Francis of Assisi and the astronomer Galileo. Her memorable theatrical feature debut is loosely based on Sophocles’s Antigone, a play in which the titular heroine attempts to bury her brother despite laws forbidding it. Set in a totalitarian Milan, The Year of the Cannibals opens on streets strewn with the corpses of rebels, their “dead bodies serv[ing] as an example to prevent more death.” Grieving her brother, whose body lies in front of a bar, Cavani’s modern-day Antigone (Britt Ekland) seeks help to defy the burial ban, finding an ally in a foreigner (Pierre Clémenti). Featuring a score by the incomparable Ennio Morricone and with editing by Sergio Leone regular Nino Baragli, this shocking, no-holds-barred political satire is primed for rediscovery in its newly restored 4K edition.
Programmed and note by K.J. Relth-Miller.

An Evening of Short Films from Asian American Filmmakers
The Academy is celebrating Asian American, Native American, and Pacific Islander Heritage month with this selection of short films featuring Asian American filmmakers and stories. The evening includes two animated films, Ishu Patel’s Oscar-nominated Bead Game (1977), and Soar (2014), from filmmaker Alyce Tzue. Arthur Dong’s Oscar-nominated documentary short, Sewing Woman (1982), tells the life story of the filmmaker’s mother, while Sean Wang (Dìdi) was nominated for his documentary Nai Nai & Wài Pó (2023), depicting the close friendship of his elderly grandmothers. Jon M. Chu (Wicked, 2024) won a DGA Student Film Award for his musical short Gwai Lo: The Little Foreigner (2002). Filmmaker Andrew Ahn (Fire Island, 2022) made his short film Dol (First Birthday, 2011) partly as a way of coming out to his parents. Masami Kawai’s Nami (2015) depicts a day in the life of a grieving widow in her journey across Los Angeles. In Amrita Singh’s Winning in America (2021), a teenage girl faces the challenges of a spelling bee and her coach father.
