From the deep, dark recesses of the mind of Mel Brooks, we bring you YOUNG FRANKESTEIN, a monstrously funny homage to the classic horror films of the 1930s.
Gene Wilder stars as Dr. Frederick Frankenstein (“It’s pronounced Fronkensteen!”), a brilliant young scientist who inherits his grandfather’s spooky castle in Transylvania and accidentally discovers the formula to bringing the dead back to life!
With the help of his wide-eyed assistant Igor (“That’s EYE-gor!”), cheerful lab assistant Inga, and mysterious housekeeper Frau Blücher (cue the horse whinny), Dr. Frankenstein creates a scary but lovable monster played by none other than Peter Boyle. From secret passages and talking brains to musical numbers like “Puttin’ on the Ritz,” this black-and-white spoof of old monster movies is packed with iconic moments, rapid-fire wordplay, and affectionate satire.
Also starring Madaline Kahn, Marty Feldman, Teri Garr, and Cloris Leachman, YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN is a perfect afternoon treat for classic film lovers and comedy fans alike!

With a legendary performance by Sissy Spacek, the film follows a shy, isolated high school girl raised by her fanatically religious mother. When a cruel prank at prom pushes her beyond her breaking point, Carrie unleashes a terrifying telekinetic fury etched into horror history.
CARRIE explores themes of bullying and the devastating consequences of social cruelty. Whether you’re revisiting this classic or seeing it for the first time, CARRIE remains as gripping and emotionally raw as ever.

The Cotton Club Encore
Directed by Francis Ford Coppola (1984)

Introduced by James Mockoski, Restoration Supervisor at American Zoetrope
Francis Ford Coppola’s The Cotton Club Encore brings back to life the 1984 gangster saga whose release was overshadowed by the lore of a troubled production and studio interference. In this beautifully restored version, Coppola’s vision of Harlem’s legendary Cotton Club — where Duke Ellington, Cab Calloway, Lena Horne, and Bill “Bojangles” Robinson rose to fame — comes into focus: the music and stories of Black performers, once diminished, now take center stage.
In the original cut, Richard Gere’s Dixie Dwyer, a talented cornet player, and Diane Lane’s Vera Cicero, the mob boss’s mistress, embody a classic Hollywood love story; however, it is Gregory Hines’s Sandman Williams, a dazzling tap dancer, and Lonette McKee’s Lila Rose Oliver, a luminous singer, who now provide the film’s true heartbeat and soul in the Encore cut. The film, co-written by Coppola and novelists Mario Puzo (The Godfather) and William Kennedy, also stars Nicolas Cage, Laurence Fishburne (who broke through in Coppola’s Apocalypse Now just five years prior), Bob Hoskins, and James Remar.
“As often happens, I came upon an object that brought back an entire chapter of my life. In this case it was an old Sony Betamax tape that had the recording of the original final version of The Cotton Club, the film I made in 1984 and which I had blocked from my memory due to the odd circumstances that surrounded it. When I say “the original final version,” that means it was the form the film was in when I presented it to its financiers, distributors, and producers. The situation at the time was closer to “trench warfare” than any film I had worked on; the version was condemned as too long, having “too many black people,” and with “too much tap dancing.” The ownership of the film itself was the subject matter of a court case to determine who ultimately had control of it, and in addition to this confusion, there had been a murder related to a producer of the film, and the negative and film prints were constantly being jockeyed from office to secret office to avoid falling into the wrong hands. ….Clearly, a film that stumbles into its world premiere in controversy and does less than stellar box office tends to remain stuck in its place, with few of those connected to it willing to spend the time and treasure it takes to make a restoration. I didn’t know about the others, but I and my company American Zoetrope set about the daunting task to find the more than thirty minutes of lost negative, in some cases restoring it from old print material, and to restore, remix and allow this film to re-emerge in a new and worthy edition. This is The Cotton Club Encore, the film the world should have seen despite the countless court cases, murder trial proceedings, and warring producers.” – Francis Ford Coppola

High Society
Directed by Charles Walters (1956)

Introduced by George Feltenstein, Warner Bros. Discovery Library Historian, via Zoom
MGM stalwart Charles Walter turns into a sumptuous widescreen Technicolor musical Philip Barry’s hit play The Philadelphia Story, also the source material for George Cukor’s celebrated screwball comedy of 1940 starring Kathryn Hepburn, Cary Grant, and Jimmy Stewart. From “The City of Brotherly Love”, the story is transported amid Newport’s seaside elite — a backdrop rendered even more fabulous by Cedric Gibbons’ magnificent sets. Cole Porter was hired to compose an original score, and Louis Armstrong narrates in song, surrounded by his orchestra. The filming also incorporated the Newport Jazz Festival, which had been established only two years prior to production. In her final screen role before marrying the Prince of Monaco, Grace Kelly stars as Tracy Samantha Lord, an aloof yet alluring socialite caught between her stolid fiancé (John Lund), a charming jazz artist (and ex-husband) C.K. Dexter Haven (Bing Crosby), and a sharp-tongued reporter (Frank Sinatra, in the role that earned James Stewart an Oscar) who falls for the beautiful bride-to-be.

High Society has been meticulously restored and newly remastered from its original VistaVision camera negative. The audio for the film is now presented with a new Dolby Atmos audio mix, derived from archival magnetic multi-channel source masters. This extensive restoration process took place earlier this year at Warner Bros. Motion Picture Imaging and Warner Bros. Archival Mastering (for audio). The restoration was undertaken with the promotional support of The Film Foundation.

Join us for a wild ride through the forgotten corners of early 1930s animation! Before the Hays Code cleaned up Hollywood, cartoons were just as wild, surreal and outrageous as live-action films — sometimes even more so. Animation historian Jerry Beck, a professor at CalArts and author of more than15 books on classic cartoons, presents a handpicked lineup of his favorite pre-Code animated shorts, with an emphasis on the weird, the rare and the wonderful. Expect jazz-fueled antics and flapper-era flair from obscure studios you have likely never heard of. Jerry’s lively introductions will dive into the hidden history of these long-lost gems, how they reflected the Depression-era zeitgeist and the feature films they accompanied in theaters. Whether you are an animation aficionado or just grew up loving Saturday morning cartoons, this program offers a rare chance to experience these boundary-pushing classics as they were meant to be seen: on the big screen!

Created in the early 20th century by brothers Max and Dave Fleischer, Fleischer Studios was a pioneer in the art and craft of animation and were responsible for creating and animating some of the most beloved characters in American animation including Betty Boop and Koko the Clown. The studio was also renowned for its animation of two extremely popular comic-strip characters: Popeye (originally created by Elzie Segar) and Superman (originally created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster).
The artists of Fleischer Studios were not only animators, they were innovators as well. Known for their ground-breaking marriage of live action with animation, their ingenious bouncing ball cartoons, their gritty, urban and often surreal landscapes, their jazz cartoons featuring early film footage of the era’s popular artists including the very first film footage of Cab Calloway, and many inventions including Max’s rotoscope and “set-back” process, the influence of Fleischer Studios can be seen today in everything from music videos to karaoke to Japanese animé.

The Max Fleischer Cartoons Restoration Project was launched in 2021 by Max Fleischer’s granddaughter, Jane Fleischer Reid, and producer Mauricio Alvarado. Together with The Film Foundation and other partners, they have been working to restore and digitize the Fleischer Studios film library, including cartoons featuring Betty Boop, Koko the Clown, and Popeye.

Only Angels Have Wings
Directed by Howard Hawks (1939)

Introduced by Grover Crisp, Executive Vice President, Asset Restoration and Preservation at Sony Pictures Entertainment
Howard Hawks’ worldview, comedic timing, and visual craftsmanship as well as his love and understanding for aviation come together in this South American romantic adventure described by the director as inspired by characters he had met in real life. Scripted by Hawks favorite writer, Jules Furthman, the film stars Jean Arthur as a showgirl whose trip to Panama gets derailed during a stopover in the imaginary port town of Barranca. There, she falls for the head of the local, run down airmail service (Cary Grant), whose pilots routinely defy death while servicing towns amidst treacherous mountains and gusty winds. Both attracted to and repelled by his sense of danger, she decides to stay on, despite his protestations. This masterful and somehow mysterious jewel, features Oscar-nominated special effects, high-wire aerial photography, and Rita Hayworth in a small but breakout role, explores Hawks’s recurring themes of masculine codes and the strong-willed women who question them.
