CELLULOID DREAMS  THE MOVIE SHOW -- 4/3/25

THIS WEEK'S SHOW:  Murder and retro kung fu!

While revisiting his hometown in France to attend his former boss's funeral and staying with the widow, a man finds himself responsible for a murder, which he tries to conceal with the help of the village priest, who will provide him with an alibi... for a price. The thriller/mystery/dark comedy MISIRICORDIA is on discussion this week, with its writer/director Alain Guiraudie.

From 2019:  DOLEMITE IS MY NAME tells the story of Rudy Ray Moore: comic, rap artist and one of the stars of the 1970s cinema phenomenon known as Blaxploitation, via his iconic badass pimp Dolemite. The film's costume designer Ruth E. Carter [BLACK PANTHER] speaks on the obligation to be faithful to a period, balancing studio and indie work and what it's like to fit a star.

THIS WEEK'S SHOW:  Two features from the 68th San Francisco Film Festival!

When a Korean-American adoptee is informed his birth mother is terminally ill, the teenager's idyllic life is disrupted and he must decide whether to preserve his American identity or uncover his vague past. Thomas Percy Kim talks with us about his feature directorial debut ISLE CHILD.

THE TALLEST DWARF is filmmaker Julie Wyman's quest to find her place within the little people (LP) community after hearing she has inherited "partial dwarfism." She joins forces with a group of dwarf artists to create art in the form of films, poetry and dance to challenge and address the rise of height-altering pharmaceuticals. Joining us is director Julie Wyman.

CELLULOID DREAMS  THE MOVIE SHOW -- 4/24/25

THIS WEEK'S SHOW:  California stories (mostly).

Muriel and her husband Lee (newly returned from the Korean War) are beginning a new life in San Diego, which is upended by the arrival of Lee's charismatic younger brother, Julius. Lee is keen for the three of them to build a new life together, but Julius leaves for Las Vegas instead, where he meets Henry, a male co-worker. While the two men begin a secret romantic relationship, Muriel embarks on a secret life of her own. The film is ON SWIFT HORSES and we're joined by director Daniel Minahan.

80-year-old African American chaplain Betty Clark and white Jewish physician Jessica Zitter are on-staff at an Oakland, CA hospital's Palliative Care Unit-- professions that rarely intersect. THE CHAPLAIN AND THE DOCTOR documents their work as they endeavor to bring curiosity, connection and compassion to a broken medical culture-- and one that recognizes the diverse backgrounds of their patients. Jessica Zitter is also the film's director, and we sit down with both women ahead of its screening at the 68th San Francisco International Film Festival.
