The restaurant Max’s Kansas City was the most frequented place of the day in
New York City for the culturati, celebrities, and the glitterati that surrounded them,
with everyone from Dali, Duchamp, and Tennessee Williams, to Jim Morrison
dropping in. So in October of 1967, at the finale of the “Summer of Love”, with
Vietnam on the minds of even the most jaded Warhol “superstars” a group was
filmed on location at the restaurant, nick-named appropriately “The Mad Hatter”.
Highlighted by a rambling monologue by Viva, the “Jane Fonda of Alternative
Cinema”, it is a time capsule document of the period and the phenomena of
sexploitation amidst puritan Americana.
22 SAT 8:30pm: Cannes Palme d’Or 2006:
The Wind That Shakes The Barley (Ken Loach/UK/2006)
With Cillian Murphy, Padriac Delaney, Liam Cunningham
One of the United Kingdom’s best and fiercely independent realist filmmakers,
Ken Loach, who has relentlessly and continuously brought the plights of the
contemporary working English, Scottish, and Irish to our attention, brings us
a mesmerizing account of one of the pivotal roots to their story, and finally wins
the Cannes Film Festival’s main prize, the Palm d’Or, in doing so. Ireland 1920:
workers from field and country unite to form volunteer guerilla armies to face
the ruthless “Black and Tan” squads that are being shipped from Britain to block
Ireland’s bid for independence. But despite the apparent victory, civil war erupts
and families who fought side by side, find themselves pitted against one another
as sworn enemies, putting their loyalties to the ultimate test.
WINNER: Palm d’Or Cannes Film Festival

European Film Awards Best Cinematography

The original gay cowboy movie was one of the first Warhol attempts at a
commercial distribution, running for months in art houses in Los Angeles and
San Francisco. Lonesome Cowboys was the beginning of a new direction,
helmed by Paul Morrissey, who had been the manager of the Warhol “empire”
and “factory”. Originally conceived as a western version of Romeo and Juliet
(“Ramona and Julian”), it was filmed on location in Arizona, where the locals
were shocked and confused by the notorious filmmakers and cast.

more than 50,000 Cubans took to the sea in a motley array of rafts and
