DESCRIPTION:Admission is free. No advance reservations. Your seat will be 
 assigned to you when you pick up your ticket at the box office. Seats are 
 assigned on a first come\, first served basis. The box office opens one 
 hour before the event.\n\nBritish Sounds \n\nU.K.\, 1970 \n\nWhen their 
 surprised patrons ask the theater staff in Nathan Gelgud’s book Reel 
 Politik what they plan to show in their newly liberated movie house\, 
 “the Godard-Gorin stuff” is at the top of their list. An agitprop 
 primer in Marx and Mao\, radical feminism\, and the deconstruction of 
 capitalist image production\, British Sounds was Jean-Luc Godard’s first 
 completed project with the Dziga Vertov Group\, a militant film collective 
 that included Jean-Pierre Gorin and Jean-Henri Roger\, and marked the New 
 Wave icon’s radical break from auteurist filmmaking. Overlapping 
 voiceover readings from the Communist Manifesto and other radical texts 
 illuminate and clash with an extended montage — a car assembly line\, a 
 union strategy meeting\, a nude woman at home\, student organizers — that 
 suggests\, if not a fully realized vision\, a vital new cinema struggling 
 to be born. \n\nDCP\, color\, 54 min. Directors/Screenwriters: Jean-Luc 
 Godard\, Jean-Henri Roger. \n \n\nThe Third Generation \n\nGermany\, 
 1979\n\nThe precision and elegance of Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s 
 camerawork (he also acted as cinematographer) stands in sharp contrast to 
 the shambolic activities of the would-be terrorist cadre he turns his gaze 
 on in this late ’70s satire of bourgeois revolutionaries. Contrasts bold 
 and subtle abound in this film suffused with high art cinematic allusions 
 and bathroom graffiti\, banal routines and sudden bursts of violence. 
 Ostensibly living underground while making vague plans to kidnap a 
 corporate fat cat\, these middle-class Marxists play Monopoly to unwind 
 even as their target unspools plans of his own to turn the threat of 
 terrorism into higher profits. \n\nDCP\, color\, in German with English 
 subtitles\, 110 min. Director/Screenwriter: Rainer Werner Fassbinder. With: 
 Harry Baer\, Hark Bohm\, Margit Carstensen.\n\n—Senior Public Programmer
