007 AT 50: THE COMPLETE JAMES BOND RETROSPECTIVE!
Fri, June 8 - Sun, June 24

The name’s Bond - James Bond! Author Ian Fleming’s Agent 007 has been thrilling moviegoers for half a century, ever since Albert “Cubby” Broccoli and Harry Saltzman’s Eon Productions first brought the character to the big screen in 1962. Join us for a retrospective of Bond films at both the Aero and Egyptian Theatres.


CRUELLY, MADLY, DEEPLY: THE FILMS OF RAINER WERNER FASSBINDER
Thu, May 31 - Thu, June 14

Between 1969 and his death at age 37 in 1982, brilliant enfant terrible German director Rainer Werner Fassbinder made 30 films and numerous television productions, including the fifteen-hour mini-series BERLIN ALEXANDERPLATZ. Even as he averaged 2 to 3 films per year, his work maintained a meticulous, rigorous style, marked by stunning shot composition, laser-precision blocking and deep characterization ranging from bitterly crystal clear to hypnotically allusive. Fassbinder returned to the same themes and fixations again and again, like pushing on a bruise: money, sex, pride and cruelty. Join us for a retrospective of his work.


RAJ KAPOOR: THE GOLDEN AGE OF INDIAN CINEMA
Thu, May 24 - Mon, December 31

Actor, director and mogul Raj Kapoor (1924 - 1988) was one of the giants of Indian cinema and is synonymous with the rise of the monolith known as Bollywood. Largely unknown in North America - except of course to millions of fans of South Asian descent - Kapoor is revered not only in India but throughout the former Soviet empire, the Middle East and beyond for the films he made during the Golden Age of Indian cinema. Join us at the American Cinematheque for monthly screenings of the Bollywood films of Raj Kapoor. Kicking off the series in May is AWAARA (THE VAGABOND) at the Egyptian.
