CELLULOID DREAMS THE MOVIE SHOW -- 6/26/25

THIS WEEK'S SHOW: From Frameline to the world!

A closeted undercover cop, assigned to arrest men cruising in shopping mall bathrooms, grapples with messy, conflicted feelings when he falls in love with a married man he's assigned to entrap. PLAINCLOTHES is an intense, deeply atmospheric drama that explores the grey zones of authority, identity and the cost of living a secret life. We sit down with its writer/ director Carmen Emmi.

HEIGHTENED SCRUTINY follows the courtroom battles of civil rights lawyer Chase Strangio as he fights to overturn Tennessee's ban on gender-affirming care for transgender youth while simultaneously confronting the media narratives influencing public perception of trans rights. Zooming in to discuss the film (just days ahead of the case's verdict) are director Sam Feder (DISCLOSURE) & producer Amy Scholder.

CELLULOID DREAMS THE MOVIE SHOW  --  7/3/25

THIS WEEK'S SHOW:  Tackling an incredible musical challenge.

From 2012:  BLADE RUNNER is not only one of the seminal films of science fiction cinema, but considered one of the best of all time. Its synthesizer score by Vangelis is also held in high regard, but, due to certain circumstances, there has never been an official, proper soundtrack available.

To address this, producer/composer Edgar Rothermich was commissioned to recreate the score (for which no written transcriptions exist) as faithfully as possible to mark the film's 30th year in 2012. The result: BLADE RUNNER 30TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION: MUSIC FROM THE MOTION PICTURE. Let's revisit our chat with Edgar Rothermich!

Then, "Screen Scene" movie reviews including ﻿﻿JURASSIC WORLD REBIRTH; 40 ACRES; ﻿F1: THE MOVIE; M3GAN 2.0; EVERYTHING'S GOING TO BE GREAT; ﻿MY MOM JAYNE [HBO Max]; ﻿ENIGMA [HBO Max]; ﻿DARK CITY [4K][Arrow Video]; ﻿SWORDFISH [4K][Arrow Video]; ﻿﻿LETHAL WEAPON [4K] [Warner Home Entertainment] and ﻿EEPHUS [Music Box Films].

CELLULOID DREAMS THE MOVIE SHOW --  7/10/25

THIS WEEK'S SHOW:  Two triple-threat debuts!

DON'T LET'S GO TO THE DOGS TONIGHT adapts Alexandra Fuller's memoir about her youth in Rhodesia, South Africa (now Zimbabwe) amidst the waning Bush War and the country's division following an election that shifted the balance of power forever.  We sit down with actor/writer/director Embeth Davidtz (MATILDA; SCHINDLER'S LIST) on her first time behind the camera, chronicling the shifting racial power dynamics in a country through the eyes of a child: eight-year-old Bobo.

A young small-town liberal arts junior professor learns to live through a past trauma with help from her best friend, her neighbor... and her cat. SORRY, BABY is a hilarious and heartbreaking tale of quietly powerful triumph, of seizing back your footing after the ground is yanked from under you, and zooming in to chat about it is actor/writer/first time director Eva Victor (BOYS GO TO JUPITER; BILLIONS).

Then, "Screen Scene" movie reviews including ﻿﻿﻿THE OLD GUARD 2; ﻿﻿DEAR MS.: A REVOLUTION IN PRINT; ﻿KILL THE JOCKEY; ﻿SOVEREIGN [also On Demand 7/11]; ﻿PUSH [Shudder]; ﻿BARRY LYNDON [4K][Criterion Collection]; ﻿YOU CAN COUNT ON ME [4K][Criterion Collection] and ALL WE IMAGINE AS LIGHT [Criterion Collection].
