At a high-end Budapest department store, sales clerks Alfred (Stewart) and Klara (Sullavan) are both falling for their anonymous pen pals while struggling to work together.

POSSESSION
(1981, 35mm, 124m) dir Andrzej Zulawski w/Isabelle Adjani, Sam Neil, Margit Carstensen.

These screenings are presented in partnership with the Cult Film Collective. FRI/SAT 7:00 9:30 SUN 3:00 5:30
I KNOW WHERE I’M GOING!
(1945, DCP, 91m) dir Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger w/Wendy Hiller, Roger Livesay, George Carney. Middle-class Joan Webster (Hiller) is a determined social climber.

With live piano accompaniment by Katie Condon. FRI/SAT 7:00 SUN…

CLAUDINE
(1974, DCP, 92m) dir John Berry w/Diahann Caroll, James Earl Jones, Lawrence Hilton-Jacob. This heart-and-soul comedy follows Harlem natives Claudine (Carol) and Rupert (“Roop”) (Jones) as their fledgling romance is imperiled by her six kids and the welfare officer who badgers them constantly. One of the little-seen gems of the 1970s. FRI/SAT 7:00 9:00 SUN 3:00 5:00 7:00 MON/TUE 7:00

LADY TERMINATOR
(1989, 35mm, 82m) dir H. Tjut Djalil w/Barbara Anne Constable, Christopher J. Hart, Claudia Angelique Rademaker. This wildly violent Indonesian exploitation flick is the black-magic story of the lustful Queen of the South Sea, who overtakes the body of a female anthropology student. With mashup scenes liberally stolen from James Cameron’s The Terminator, it must be seen to be believed. These screenings are presented in partnership with the Cult Film Collective. FRI/SAT 7:00 8:45 SUN 3:00 4:45 6:30 MON/TUE 7:00

HARVEY
(1950, 35mm, 104m) dir Henry Koster w/James Stewart, Josephine Hull, Charles Drake. Elwood P. Dowd’s (Stewart) best friend is an invisible six-foot-tall rabbit. Elwood’s family thinks he’s insane, and a comedy of errors ensues. Based on Mary Chase’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play, Harvey brought Stewart an Oscar nomination and gave Hull—reprising her Broadway role—a Best Supporting Actress win. FRI/SAT 7:00 9:00 SUN 3:00 5:00

GINGER SNAPS
(2000, DCP, 108m) dir John Fawcett w/Emily Perkins, Katharine Isabelle, Kris Lemche. Ginger (Isabelle) and her sister Brigitte (Perkins) are goth outcasts, and best friends, in suburbia. When a werewolf bites Ginger, things begin changing. This coming-of-age tale works both as a gory horror flick and as an allegory about the complications of adolescence. Read more at Perisphere.

JENNIFER’S BODY
(2009, DCP, 102m) dir Karyn Kusama w/Megan Fox, Amanda Seyfried, Adam Brody. When a city band comes to a small-town bar in Devil’s Kettle, Jennifer (Fox) and Needy (Seyfried) go see them. Unfortunately, the band is made up of creeps who try to sacrifice Jennifer. Initially written off as a poor follow-up film for Juno screenwriter Diablo Cody, Jennifer has since become a kind of cult classic. Read more at Perisphere. FRI 9:15 SAT 7:00 SUN 5:15
