SUMMARY:Roxie Theater: Millennium Actress
DESCRIPTION:“A piece of cinematic art. It’s modern day Japanese animation at its best.”Kevin Williams\, Chicago Tribune \nBased loosely on the life and work of Ozu muse Hara Setsuko\, Satoshi Kon’s stunning sophomore feature is a kaleidoscopic\, time-skipping portrait of a reclusive actor looking back on her career. The clever meta-movie follows a two-man documentary crew as they set about interviewing Fujiwara Chiyoko\, a former studio star who withdrew from public life after retiring decades earlier. Her story transports the pair through a century of Japanese cinema and history\, as past and present\, memories and movie roles\, start to blur. Kon co-wrote the script with Perfect Blue screenwriter Murai Sadayuki; as in that film\, the boundaries between inner and outer realities are erased—albeit here in a more fanciful\, less maniacal manner! Musician Hirasawa Susumu\, long admired by Kon\, wrote the electronic score. The film garnered much acclaim and shared (with Miyazaki’s Spirited Away) the prestigious Japan Media Arts prize for animation. \nMILLENNIUM ACTRESS also plays on Monday\, April 10 with PERFECT BLUE . See both for $17 or either for $14. Details here.

SUMMARY:Roxie Theater: Thelonious Monk: Rewind & Play
DESCRIPTION:In December 1969\, legendary jazz pianist and composer Thelonious Monk ended his European concert tour with a performance at the Salle Pleyel in Paris. Before the show\, he was invited to appear on a French television program to perform and answer questions in an intimate setting. Using newly discovered footage from this recording\, director Alain Gomis (FÉLICITÉ) reveals the disconnect between Monk and his interviewer\, Henri Renaud\, whose unwittingly trivializing approach conveys the casual racism and exploitation prevalent in the music industry at large. A fascinating behind-the-scenes documentary with extraordinary rarely-seen performances\, REWIND & PLAY offers a unique opportunity to see Monk in a way that very few people did.

SUMMARY:Roxie Theater: Good Morning (35mm)
DESCRIPTION:Ozu’s hilarious Technicolor reworking of his silent I Was Born\, But . . . \, Good Morning (Ohayô) is the story of two young boys in suburban Tokyo who take a vow of silence after their parents refuse to buy them a television set. Shot from the perspective of the petulant brothers\, Good Morning is an enchantingly satirical portrait of family life that gives rise to gags about romance\, gossip\, and the consumerism of modern Japan.

SUMMARY:The Marsh: Brian Copeland – Grandma and Me

Through laughter and tears\, he compares and contrasts trials of single parenting in the 1970s and the dawn of the 21st century as he tries to answer the question…What does it truly mean to be a father?\nAbout the Performer & Creative Team \nBrian Copeland (performer/writer) has been in show business since he first stepped on the comedy stage at the tender age of 18. Soon he was headlining clubs and concerts across the country and opening for such artists as Smokey Robinson\, The Temptations\, Ringo Starr\, and the Queen of soul Aretha Franklin\, in venues from The Universal Amphitheater to Constitution Hall in Washington DC. Soon\, Copeland branched off into television\, appearing on comedy programs on NBC\, A&E and MTV. He spent five years as co-host of San Francisco FOX affiliate KTVU breakfast program Mornings on 2 and two years hosting San Francisco ABC affiliate KGO’s Emmy Award winning afternoon talker 7Live. \nIn 1995\, ABC affiliate KGO Radio premiered “The Brian Copeland Show”.  \nIt’s unique mix of talk and entertainment soon made it the most listened to program in its time slot. Copeland branched out into theater in 2004 with his first solo play\, NOT A GENUINE BLACK MAN. This critically acclaimed exploration of race and identity created an audience pleasing blend of laughter\, tears and sociology that led to the show becoming the longest running solo play in San Francisco theatrical history. Successful runs in Los Angeles and Off Broadway and a bestselling book adaptation followed. GENUINE has been performed in over 30 cities across America. The play is currently in development with Rob Reiner’s Castlerock Entertainment for television. \nCopeland’s other theatrical work includes THE WAITING PERIOD\, a solo play about his lifelong struggle with depression and the Christmas play THE JEWELRY BOX\, THE SCION\, and THE GREAT AMERICAN SH*T SHOW with Charlie Varon. \nHe has also appeared in the films THE BUCKET LIST and the Marvel’s VENOM: LET THERE BE CARNAGE. \nDavid Ford (director) has been collaborating on new and unusual theater for three decades and has been associated with The Marsh for most of that time. The San Francisco press has variously called him the solo performer maven\, the monologue maestro\, the dean of solo performance\, and the solo performers’ best friend; a week rarely goes by when residents of the Bay Area can not enjoy one of his productions. Recent work includes Echo Brown’s long-running Black Girls Are Not For Hipsters\, Charlie Varon’s extraordinary collaboration with cellist Joan Jeanrenaud Second Time Around (the latest in Charlie and David’s twenty-five year partnership)\, Geoff Hoyle’s Lear’s Shadow and Geezer\, all of Brian Copeland’s solo shows including the longest running solo show in the Bay Area\, Not A Genuine Black Man. Other work of note includes\, with storyteller-holy-man Ron Jones and Michael Rice\, a mentally disabled performer\, Say Ray. He also worked with Bill Talen on the original creation of Reverend Billy\, the Obie award-winning theater/political action piece. \nDavid’s work has been seen regionally at the Public Theatre\, Second Stage\, St. Clement’s\, Dixon Place\, One Dream Theatre and Theatre for the New City (NY)\, Highways (LA) and Woolly Mammoth (Washington DC).

SUMMARY:Roxie Theater: Nam June Paik: Moon is the Oldest TV
DESCRIPTION:Meet director Amanda Kim for Q&A after the Thursday\, April 6\, 8:30pm show with introduction and post-screening Q&A moderation by Executive Producer Steve Jang!  \n“The George Washington of Video Art” … “Cultural Terrorist” … “Citizen Zero of the Electronic Superhighway” … But who really was Nam June Paik\, pillar of the American avant-garde in the 20th century and arguably the most famous Korean artist in modern history? Director Amanda Kim tells\, for the first time\, the story of Paik’s meteoric rise in the New York art scene and his Nostradamus-like visions of a future in which “everybody will have his own TV channel.” Thanks to social media\, Paik’s future is now our present\, and NAM JUNE PAIK: MOON IS THE OLDEST TV shows us how we got here. \n“Amanda Kim’s feature doc is as sprightly as the man whose life she follows…There’s a great deal of charm and humor to Paik’s work\, and to this film\, but it’s anchored by his perceptiveness and ability to contemplate weighty themes”.  – Fionnuala Halligan\, Screen

It’s for any adult who has struggled with the seemingly insurmountable climb back to life after losing everything they thought they were and ever wanted.” \nAbout the Performer & Creative Team\nKathryn Keats began developing The Hummingbird as a multicast show at Berkeley Repertory’s The Ground Floor and discovered director David Ford while listening to him being interviewed on KPFA in her car driving home one day. She immediately called The Marsh to work with Ford and The Hummingbird became a solo beat Musical under Ford’s tutelage and direction. It won best solo musical at Marshstream International Fest 2020.\nBefore going into hiding Keats spent her life in theater and showbiz. She is happy to be back writing plays and doing music.\nShe is a Drama Critics Circle Award recipient and is a member of Actors Equity and Sag/Aftra. She is grateful to her family for their love and is ever grateful to Judge Leo Dorado for his ongoing support.  \nDavid Ford has been collaborating on new and unusual theater for three decades and has been associated with The Marsh for most of that time. The San Francisco press has variously called him the solo performer maven\, the monologue maestro\, and the dean of solo performance. Recent work includes Echo Brown’s long-running “Black Girls Are Not For Hipsters\,” “Charlie Varon’s extraordinary collaboration with cellist Joan Jeanrenaud\, “Second Time Around\,” Geoff Hoyle’s “Lear’s Shadow and Geezer\,” and all of Brian Copeland’s solo shows\, including the longest-running solo show in the Bay Area\, “Not A Genuine Black Man.” \nKevin Gerzevitz is a professional musician\, composer and teacher based in the San Francisco Bay Area. He frequently performs as jazz organist with B3B4 Organ Jazz Quartet and as a pianist and bandleader with The KG Trio. In his hometown of Ann Arbor\, Michigan\, Gerzevitz attended the University of Michigan School of Music\, focusing on piano performance\, jazz studies\, improvisation\, and composition\, while majoring in Music Theory and German. Upon earning his BMA in 1990\, he relocated to the SF Bay Area where he works as a freelance pianist\, composer and teacher. He attended Mills College from 2003 to 2005 to innovate his approach to teaching music\, earning certifications in Levels I\, II\, and III as an Orff Schulwerk instructor. Since 2008\, he has worked as the Music & Movement Specialist at Pacific Primary Orange Sun School in San Francisco. Gerzevitz has scored several independent films and has produced music for advertising\, web\, multimedia and theater. \nMichael Manring is a true visionary and an inimitable stylist who is considered by many to be the world’s leading solo bassist. He has also played with Michael Hedges\, Suzanne Ciani\, Henry Kaiser and John Gorka. Hailed by many as the world’s leading solo bassist\, Michael Manring has been pushing back the boundaries of what’s possible on the bass guitar for over two decades. While his technical skill and innovations always make an impression\, it’s his ability to communicate on a profound emotional level that most touches listeners. \nAram Avagyan is a composer\, arranger and pianist with a style that ranges from contemporary pop to soul and R&B to music for film\, has been composing original works since the age of 11 in his homeland of Armenia. He attended the renowned Armenian Jazz College and four years later was invited to attend the Armenia State Musical Theatre. Additional accolades for Aram include being awarded the coveted Anoush Award in Los Angeles\, California for the Best Song of the Year\, having numerous international artists perform his songs and having famed singer Lianna attended the International Music Contest in Bulgaria performing Aram’s song “Ari Ari” which won the Grand Prix Title.

DESCRIPTION:Tickets: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-17th-annual-cubacaribe-festival-of-dance-music-reuniongathering-tickets-485647533847\nA mixed program with performances by: Alafia Dance Ensemble\, Los Lupeños de San José\, Agua Doce Dance\, Cuicacalli\, Embodiment Project\, La Unión Matancera\, Batey Tambó\nSeven local and visiting dance companies will create original choreography rooted in the Caribbean and its Diaspora based on the curatorial vision. Gathering is either a noun or a verb\, something we do or is done. After the last few years in a global pandemic\, we recognize the importance of physically coming together. The isolation and reuniting after has taken many forms. We will reflect on our individual and shared experiences and resilience. Dance\, music and art proved more important than ever; they enabled a way to communally gather\, to be a part of something larger than ourselves and to share\, a way to express emotional struggles and joys and serves as freedom for individuals\, cultures and communities. This is true now and has been true throughout history.

SUMMARY:Z Space: Word for Word present: Home by George Saunders
DESCRIPTION:April 5-29 at Z Below \nThe story of Mikey\, a war veteran returning to a home that is increasingly cruel and absurd—and his quest for understanding and compassion. George Saunders’ subtle yet absurdist humor brings a unique slant to otherwise dark topics. \nOf “Home”\, George Saunders says\, “If you send four hundred thousand people into a shitstorm\, don’t expect everybody to come back smelling like roses. Some of them are going to come back damaged. To show ourselves to be an honorable culture\, we have to step up and deal with them with all the generosity and love we can summon\, or shame on us.”  \nWord for Word has a long history of adapting Saunders’ work\, going back to 2017 when they performed a staged reading of a section from his novel  Lincoln in the Bardo at both the Jewish Community Center of San Francisco and Shakespeare & Co. in Paris. Saunders both attended and performed in both readings. Duly impressed by their signature style of using the entire text of a work in realizing a dramatic adaptation of a piece\, he has graciously lent his permission for Word for Word to use his work in subsequent productions\, and has often participated in post-show conversations. Most recently his short story “Victory Lap” was given a full production treatment in Word for Word’s 25th Anniversary Show (2018).

SUMMARY:Roxie Theater: Return to Seoul
DESCRIPTION:In Davy Chou’s dazzling second narrative feature\, a mercurial 25-year-old — born in South Korea and raised in France by adoptive parents — returns to her motherland in search of answers. \nBorn in South Korea and raised in France by adoptive parents\, Frédérique Benoît\, a.k.a. Freddie (Ji-min Park)\, is an arrogant\, mercurial\, and unyielding 25-year-old in search of answers. Unfamiliar with her native language or the intricacies of Korean culture\, she spontaneously travels “home” — there’s no place like it — after being rerouted by a typhoon. There\, she befriends a hotel employee named Tena (Guka Han)\, who sets her on the path to finding her biological parents and unearthing her origin story. While her mother remains a mystery\, Freddie successfully confronts her eager father (Kwang-rok Oh). But much is lost in translation and her impetuous journey leaves her already heavy baggage packed with more questions than answers. As Thomas Wolfe once wrote\, “You can’t go home again\,” and it’s not long before Freddie — still recognizable\, though with her foundations fully transformed and wanderlust as her North Star — is back in her motherland constructing another house of cards.

This is the second year returning to an in-person event and in keeping with the Sisters’ core values of promoting public health\, harm reduction and safety\, CDC guidelines for outdoor events will be followed. All attendees are encouraged to be fully vaccinated. Masks are recommended when around others whose vaccination status is unknown.\nThe day will begin at 10:00 a.m. with Children’s Easter featuring a special appearance by the Easter bunny\, an Easter egg hunt\, story time\, and other family friendly activities. At the conclusion of Children’s Easter\, the community should be advised that the show becomes more adult oriented as the day progresses. While nudity and profanity are prohibited\, some parents may find the content objectionable for children under 16 years of age.\nAt noon\, San Francisco trans activist\, performer\, and RuPaul’s Drag Race star Honey Mahogany will take the Main Stage to host a variety show full of fierce performers\, surprise guests and sister miracles. This year’s lineup features San Francisco favorites Connie Champagne\, Kitten on the Keys\, Polesexual\, Baloney\, The Cockettes featuring Steven Satyricon\, Trixxie Carr\, Alex U Inn and The Mommaz Boyz\, and a Drag Revue starring Linda Summers\, Christina Ashton\, Nikita Vega\, Theresa Giudcoochie & Tony OMFG! Throughout the day the audience will take center stage as they show off their Easter spirit competing in the colorful Easter Bonnet contest. And of course\, Easter in Dolores Park would not be complete without the world-famous Foxy Mary and Hunky Jesus Contests.\nThe contests are open to all! Potential contestants are asked to arrive wearing their Easter bonnet\, Foxy Mary or Hunky Jesus looks and line up backstage when the contest is announced from the main stage. There will be an initial screening process to determine which contestant(s) are most divinely fabulous and invited to move on to the stage.\nSisters’ Easter – “Peep Show” is produced by the San Francisco Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence\, Inc. in conjunction with event partners San Francisco Recreation and Parks\, Love Dolores\, JK Sound\, and Recology. Peep show would not be possible without the support of our amazing allies\, platinum sponsor GILEAD\, and sponsors Tito’s Vodka\, Junipero Gin\, Cointreau\, and Falcon | NakedSword.\nAbout the Sisters\nThe Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence is a leading-edge Order of queer and trans nuns who believe all people have a right to express their unique joy and beauty. Since their first appearance in San Francisco on Easter Sunday\, 1979\, the Sisters have devoted themselves to community service\, ministry\, and outreach to those on the edges and to promoting human rights\, respect for diversity\, and spiritual enlightenment.

SUMMARY:Roxie Theater: Salt of This Sea
DESCRIPTION:The Arab Film and Media Institute presents the 3rd Annual Arab Women in the Arts Showcase \nSoraya\, born in Brooklyn in a working class community of Palestinian refugees\, discovers that her grandfather’s savings were frozen in a bank account in Jaffa when he was exiled in 1948. Stubborn\, passionate and determined to reclaim what is hers\, she fulfills her life-long dream of “returning” to Palestine. Slowly she is taken apart by the reality around her and is forced to confront her own internal anger. She meets Emad\, a young Palestinian whose ambition\, contrary to hers\, is to leave forever. Tired of the constraints that dictate their lives\, they know in order to be free\, they must take things into their own hands\, even if it’s illegal. \nAbout the filmmaker: Palestinian filmmaker Annemarie Jacir has been working in independent film since 1994 and has written\, directed and produced a number of short films including A post Oslo history (1998)\, The satellite shooters (2001) and Like twenty impossibles (2003). She works as a freelance editor and cinematographer and also teaches. Salt of this Sea is her first feature film\, then she directed When I saw you. Wajib is her third feature film. \nAbout AFMI:  The Arab Film and Media Institute is the first organization of its kind outside the Arab world\, a unique ecosystem to find\, nurture and develop Arab film and media projects. It was rebranded from the Arab Film Festival in 2017 to fulfill its broader mandate to empower local Arab talent to tell their communities’ stories in their own voices. Through film\, education\, mentorship\, and new media\, AFMI’s mission is to enhance public understanding of Arab culture and provide insight into the beauty\, complexity and diversity intrinsic to the Arab world.

SUMMARY:Z Space: Word for Word present: Home by George Saunders
DESCRIPTION:April 5-29 at Z Below \nThe story of Mikey\, a war veteran returning to a home that is increasingly cruel and absurd—and his quest for understanding and compassion. George Saunders’ subtle yet absurdist humor brings a unique slant to otherwise dark topics. \nOf “Home”\, George Saunders says\, “If you send four hundred thousand people into a shitstorm\, don’t expect everybody to come back smelling like roses. Some of them are going to come back damaged. To show ourselves to be an honorable culture\, we have to step up and deal with them with all the generosity and love we can summon\, or shame on us.”  \nWord for Word has a long history of adapting Saunders’ work\, going back to 2017 when they performed a staged reading of a section from his novel  Lincoln in the Bardo at both the Jewish Community Center of San Francisco and Shakespeare & Co. in Paris. Saunders both attended and performed in both readings. Duly impressed by their signature style of using the entire text of a work in realizing a dramatic adaptation of a piece\, he has graciously lent his permission for Word for Word to use his work in subsequent productions\, and has often participated in post-show conversations. Most recently his short story “Victory Lap” was given a full production treatment in Word for Word’s 25th Anniversary Show (2018).

SUMMARY:Roxie Theater: Nam June Paik: Moon is the Oldest TV
DESCRIPTION:Meet director Amanda Kim for Q&A after the Thursday\, April 6\, 8:30pm show with introduction and post-screening Q&A moderation by Executive Producer Steve Jang!  \n“The George Washington of Video Art” … “Cultural Terrorist” … “Citizen Zero of the Electronic Superhighway” … But who really was Nam June Paik\, pillar of the American avant-garde in the 20th century and arguably the most famous Korean artist in modern history? Director Amanda Kim tells\, for the first time\, the story of Paik’s meteoric rise in the New York art scene and his Nostradamus-like visions of a future in which “everybody will have his own TV channel.” Thanks to social media\, Paik’s future is now our present\, and NAM JUNE PAIK: MOON IS THE OLDEST TV shows us how we got here. \n“Amanda Kim’s feature doc is as sprightly as the man whose life she follows…There’s a great deal of charm and humor to Paik’s work\, and to this film\, but it’s anchored by his perceptiveness and ability to contemplate weighty themes”.  – Fionnuala Halligan\, Screen

Gathering is either a noun or a verb\, something we do or is done. After the last few years in a global pandemic\, we recognize the importance of physically coming together. The isolation and reuniting after has taken many forms. We will reflect on our individual and shared experiences and resilience. Dance\, music and art proved more important than ever; they enabled a way to communally gather\, to be a part of something larger than ourselves and to share\, a way to express emotional struggles and joys and serves as freedom for individuals\, cultures and communities. This is true now and has been true throughout history.

Shot from the perspective of the petulant brothers\, Good Morning is an enchantingly satirical portrait of family life that gives rise to gags about romance\, gossip\, and the consumerism of modern Japan.

SUMMARY:Roxie Theater: Enys Men
DESCRIPTION:A Pre-recorded Q&A with BAFTA-winning director Mark Jenkin\nimmediately follows the film. \n“The writer-director’s use of colour 16mm\, his (now-famous) 1970s Bolex clockwork camera\, and post-production sound anoint Enys Men as the Kernowek equivalent of such classic English folk horrors as The Wicker Man.” ~ Tara Brady\, Irish Times \n“Are its cultish mysteries for everyone? Undoubtedly not. But if there’s a place in your heart for dark\, folky mind-benders that plug into the cosmic energy of remote\, oceanic terrain\, you should take a trip across Jenkin’s freaky landscape asap.” ~ Philip De Semlyen\, Time Out \nA wildlife volunteer on an uninhabited island off the British coast descends into a terrifying madness that challenges her grip on reality and pushes her into a living nightmare. Evoking the feeling of discovering a reel of never-before-seen celluloid unspooling in a haunted movie palace\, this provocative and masterful vision of horror asserts Mark Jenkin as one of the U.K.’s most exciting and singular filmmakers.

SUMMARY:Roxie Theater: Millennium Actress
DESCRIPTION:“A piece of cinematic art. It’s modern day Japanese animation at its best.”Kevin Williams\, Chicago Tribune \nBased loosely on the life and work of Ozu muse Hara Setsuko\, Satoshi Kon’s stunning sophomore feature is a kaleidoscopic\, time-skipping portrait of a reclusive actor looking back on her career. The clever meta-movie follows a two-man documentary crew as they set about interviewing Fujiwara Chiyoko\, a former studio star who withdrew from public life after retiring decades earlier. Her story transports the pair through a century of Japanese cinema and history\, as past and present\, memories and movie roles\, start to blur. Kon co-wrote the script with Perfect Blue screenwriter Murai Sadayuki; as in that film\, the boundaries between inner and outer realities are erased—albeit here in a more fanciful\, less maniacal manner! Musician Hirasawa Susumu\, long admired by Kon\, wrote the electronic score. The film garnered much acclaim and shared (with Miyazaki’s Spirited Away) the prestigious Japan Media Arts prize for animation. \nMILLENNIUM ACTRESS also plays on Monday\, April 10 with PERFECT BLUE . See both for $17 or either for $14. Details here.
