A WORD FROM OUR PROGRAMMER - 6/8/22
Greetings Cinema friends, Six months ago, on December 9, 2021, global cinema lost one of its most provocative voices.

Friends of Ragtag, Hi, it’s Arin, RFS Co-Custodian. I’m happy you’re here, engaging with and supporting our beloved arthouse.

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 […]

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.

Beginning for many with whispers of a shocking genre epic, Park Chan-wook’s Cannes Grand Prix winner Oldboy would find its way to daring cinemas (screened in Ragtag’s single screen iteration in […]

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 […]
