Zanzibar Films At Cinefamily | 611 N. Fairfax Ave.
In Paris 1968, a loose cohort of young artists, emboldened by the political turmoil of the era and equipped with a windfall of funds from arts patron Sylvina Boissonnas, united to produce a run of films independent of any prior tradition, including that of the preceding generation of rebels known as the French New Wave. Later dubbed the Zanzibar group, these fresh-faced filmmakers, which included future master Philippe Garrel and prolific technician Jackie Raynal, as well as such relative unknowns as Etienne O’Leary, Serge Bard and Patrick Deval, worked in a...

Each weekend we highlight the best repertory programming that New York City has to offer, and it’s about to get even better. Opening on February 19th at 7 Ludlow Street on the Lower East Side is Metrograph, the city’s newest indie movie theater. Sporting two screens, they’ve announced their first slate, which includes retrospectives for Fassbinder, Wiseman, Eustache, and more, special programs such as an ode to the moviegoing experience, and new independent features that we’ve admired on the festival circuit (including Afternoon, Office 3D, and Measure of a Man).

I believe many of us have high hopes for Tsangari, a Greek filmmaker who rose to prominence producing Yorgos Lanthimos's Dogtooth and Alps and directing Attenburg, which was far superior to Lanthimos's Greek films, and similarly in this nouveau Greek cinema style of blending art cinema with conceptual art. I wondered, as many no doubt did, at Chevalier's absence from Cannes (whose competition included Lanthimos's leap to English production, The Lobster) and Venice, which had previously supported this new, provocative Greek cinema. Was the film too daring for these wary red carpet competitions? The answer is no; in fact, Chevalier is a far more approachable film—slyly so—than Attenberg,...
