In the late 1970's, when there was nothing like the indie film scene that we now take for granted, the film NORTHERN LIGHTS surprised the cinema world by winning the coveted Camera d'Or Award at the 1979 Cannes Film Festival. NORTHERN LIGHTS has the feel of an old black and white photograph discovered in an attic. The bitter-sweet story of young lovers caught up in a political struggle waged by farmers against the grain trade, the banks and the railroads, NORTHERN LIGHTS brings back a forgotten era of American history and evokes the austere beauty of the Northern Plains. Called “The greatest movie you will never see," this rare and remarkable film has been lovingly revived by a team lead by IndieCollect for a gorgeous 4K restoration, and is now being brought back to North American arthouses by Kino Lorber. In support of this re-release, we are very happy to welcome co-director Rob Nilsson for a discussion about this landmark film.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that Jane Austen has inspired some of our favorite movies.

There are the faithful adaptations: Oscar-nominated PRIDE & PREJUDICE, Oscar-winning SENSE & SENSIBILITY.

You also have more fanciful adaptations like the EMMA-inspired CLUELESS. And then you have the Jane Austen "adjacent" films like THE JANE AUSTEN BOOK CLUB, the hilarious AUSTENLAND, and a personal favorite - COLD COMFORT FARM.

Laura Piani's JANE AUSTEN WRECKED MY LIFE is squarely in this last category. And it is a most welcome addition to the club. A beguiling Camille Rutherford stars as a desperately single Parisian bookseller, who feels that she has lost her chance at love. But when she is invited to participate in a writer's retreat in England, she finds herself tossed into an Austen-esque situation, juggling the affection of two suitors, and trying to find a way to stay true to herself.

A hit at the Toronto International Film Festival, JANE AUSTEN WRECKED MY LIFE is now opening in theatres across the US.

MOST PEOPLE DIE ON SUNDAYS may be the quirkiest film you see this year ...or any year.

Directed and starring Iair Said, and asking the big question: when “ordinary people’’-- not extraordinary people-- die? What happens to those of us who stay here on earth without them?

Funny, outrageous, surprising and utterly unique, MOST PEOPLE DIE ON SUNDAYS, has a deadpan tone that recalls the early films of Jim Jarmusch.

We follow the protagonist David as he returns home to Argentina to attend the funeral of his uncle. This is a story about how people go through a "mourning moment" as they try to survive, with a pain that will transform their lives forever.

As an actor, Said has a sad sack quality of classic screen comics like Buster Keaton and Jacques Tati. And the rest of the cast plays off of Said perfectly. A sensation when it premiered in the Acid Section at Cannes, MOST PEOPLE DIE ON SUNDAYS is a comic gem that is truly worth searching out.

Join us for a conversation with filmmaker Iair Said, on INSIDE THE ARTHOUSE, starting now…
