A WORD FROM OUR PRESS & MARKETING MANAGER 5/11/2022

Hey there, Cinemaheads! At Ragtag Film Society, the rhythms of our year are very cyclical. Post-True/False we slow down a bit and set our sights on CoMo Famous, The Boone Dawdle, and even the next iteration of the Fest. But the cinema never stops, and in this little break from all-out T/F we still have creative nonfiction on […]

A WORD FROM OUR PROGRAMMER 5/4/2022

Greetings Cinema friends, I rarely throw around the term perfect. As a fairly long-winded individual with a predisposition for tangents, I try (and often fail) to opt for direct language—brevity and accuracy can be a little elusive for me. So as I start this letter, I’ll try to be as clear about Céline Sciamma’s Petite Maman as the […]

A WORD FROM OUR PROGRAMMER 4/20/22

Greetings Cinema friends, Tomorrow evening we don our best wolf pelts and head full-gonzo into battle with Robert Eggers’ The Northman. As with The Witch and The Lighthouse before it, Eggers’ meticulous attention to historically-accurate details is only bested by the filmmaker’s respect for the beliefs, fears, and superstitions of the culture portrayed—in short, Robert Eggers makes folklore flesh.  While […]

Experiences abound, Cinema friends, With white gloves donned, reels at the ready, and coconuts in suspiciously short supply, we welcome you to experience an exceedingly silly spectacle. Thursday through Sunday, we dine well here in Camelot as Monty Python and the Holy Grail screens in all its glory on 35mm. Moving roughly 997 years from Camelot, on Friday night we look […]

A WORD FROM OUR PROGRAMMER 4/6/22

Greetings Cinema friends, Conceived nearly six years ago by two people named Daniel (Kwan and Scheinert) through a headache-inducing diagram of over a dozen color-coded storylines, scribbled notes, and dirty doodles: a maelstrom of ideas formed a film aptly named Everything Everywhere All At Once. What begins with Evelyn Wang, a harried laundromat owner facing an […]

A WORD FROM OUR PROGRAMMER 3/30/22

Greetings Cinema friends, With the Oscars streaming telecast in the rearview and the discourse surrounding it simmering in near-exclusively online spaces, let’s go offline and focus on physical space—shall we? At the Cinema now and through next Thursday, we’re highlighting the real reason for all the hubbub: the films. Drive my Car, the Best International Feature […]

The Oscars are here, Cinema friends, With ballots at the Box Office and a staggering slate of Academy-nominated showtimes on the calendar, this is your friendly reminder to prepare for Sunday’s Big Movie Awards Show.
