      <title>2012-02-11 THE PRUITT-IGOE MYTH: AN URBAN HISTORY</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Detailing the birth, life and death of America's first major urban housing project in St. Louis, Chad Freidrichs' The Pruitt-Igoe Myth counters certain untruths that arose from the widely publicized detonation of the Pruitt-Igoe project, which the political right used to support a blanket dismissal of similar future projects, and a visual tool to criticize government programs of the 1970s in favour of Reagan-era welfare cuts. Editing is gloriously musical at times, cut in perfect tempo to Benjamin Balcom's resonantly moody score.]]></description>

      <title>2012-02-18 William Greaves&#39; STILL A BROTHER: INSIDE THE NEGRO MIDDLE CLASS - 16mm Print!</title>
      <description><![CDATA[African-American documentarian William Greaves explores the conflicts of the Black middle class against the backdrop of the political revolution of the 1960s. Narrated by legendary writer/director/activist Ossie Davis, this was the first Black-produced doc to ever receive an Emmy nation, and speaks with Dr. Percy Julian, Julian Bond, and St. Clair Drake, among others. An important, rarely screened work by one of the greats.]]></description>

      <title>2012-02-25 BLACK RODEO</title>
      <description><![CDATA[“Nobody ever told you there were Black Cowboys.” This Wattstax-like documentary covers the first ever all-Black rodeo in Harlem, New York, 1971, where confused but curious spectators look on as brothers bust bronco, rope cattle, ride bulls, and wrestle steers – among them Muhammed Ali, who rides a horse down 125th Street. Narrated by Spaghetti Western veteran Woody Strode, who discusses the forgotten history of the Black Cowboy, and featuring music by Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, B.B. King, Lee Dorsey and more!]]></description>

      <title>2012-03-03 Trash Palace Presents: PRETTY POISON - 16mm Print!</title>
      <description><![CDATA[In Noel Black’s feature debut, Anthony Perkins continues the typecast set in motion by Psycho, playing a recently-released mental patient. He soon spies local schoolgirl Sue-Ann (Tuesday Weld) and decides to woo her by pretending to be a CIA operative in need of her help. Sue-Ann is the perfect lip-smacking sex kitten, beautiful, bubbly and seemingly dumb; it’s not until the halfway point that we realize Sue-Ann is sociopathic herself, and sees her new CIA gig as a means of getting away with matricide...]]></description>

      <title>2012-03-10 MORRIS COUNTY - with director Matthew Garrett + live set by David Kristian &amp; Marie Davidson!</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Equal parts drama, horror, true-crime anthology, this grim life-cycle piece presents three tales of alienation and woe in suburbia. Starring indie regular Pamela Stewart (100 Proof, Amateur) and TV mainstay Albie Selznick (24, Suddenly Susan) alongside stunning newcomers Alice Cannon and Darcy Miller, this triptych of suburban decay will leave you questioning just how well you know your neighbors, recalling the work of fellow New York indie director Douglas Buck (Cutting Moments). Plays with Garrett’s short film BEATING HEARTS.]]></description>

      <title>2012-03-17 Roy Scheider Weekend: SORCERER - 16mm Print!</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Featuring a trance-like score by Tangerine Dream and a visceral, astonishing performance by Roy Scheider, William (The Exorcist) Friedkin's reinterpretation of Clouzot’s 1953 masterpiece Wages of Fear is perhaps the best remake of all time and among Friedkin’s most daring works.  Three sequences alone – a chaotic car crash in Boston, the unloading of charred bodies, and the explosives laden trucks crossing a rickety storm-blown bridge – render Sorcerer an undisputable classic.]]></description>

      <title>2012-03-31 UBU ROI - Theatre of the absurd!</title>
      <description><![CDATA[This surreal and visually arresting oddity by Jean-Christophe Averty is a film version of Alfred Jarry's play Ubu Roi, a pioneering work in the theatre of the absurd. Ubu Roi is a Shakespearean pastiche, filled with scatological humor and farce, taking stabs at literature, politics, and the ruling classes. An unpredictable, disorientating, whacked-out dada classic, where often three, four, six different mini-scenes will unfold onscreen at once.  ]]></description>
