Accessibility is the name of the game when it comes to widening our cinematic consciousness. So when traveling short film compendium Queer Futures brings award-winning watches straight to our local film society’s screen, it’s like no-duh you should be snatching up a ticket. From fat queer liberation photographer Shoog McDaniel’s aquatic atmosphere piece “How to Carry Water” to trans health care talking-head doc “The Script,” nonbinary sister act exploration of ballroom “MnM” to romantic time-traveling tale-spinner “The Callers” – all these short flicks feature queer stories onscreen that’ll have you rooted to your seat. – James ScottSun., July 14 -

Eve's Bayou (1997)
Presented by Hyperreal Film Club: No one can say that Eve’s Bayou was a failure when it was released – after all, it was the most successful independent film of 1997 – but as the decades go on it’s only become clearer how astounding writer/ director Kasi Lemmons’ debut feature is. Her autobiographically influenced story of hideous family secrets, Hoodoo, and unreliable memories simmers and seethes in the sweltering Louisiana summer, as Eve (voiced by Tamara Tunie) looks back at her 11-year-old self (Jurnee Smollett) and the summer that led to the death of her philandering father, Louis – searingly portrayed in all his swaggering arrogance by Samuel L. Jackson. – Richard Whittaker Read a full review of Eve's Bayou.Sun., July 14, 7pm -

Saturday Night Fever (1977)
So you think it’s just John Travolta in that white suit throwing wild shapes on the dance floor? Think again. Misguided double bills with Grease only lead to confused audiences, because this is as perfect a slice of New York sleaze as anything Abel Ferrara pulled out of the sewer. Adapting Nik Cohn’s 1976 New Yorker article “Tribal Rites of the New Saturday Night,” director John Badham took a dive into the testosterone-fueled lives of twentysomethings in lateSeventies Brooklyn – all desperate to get laid, get in a fight, get noticed, get out. The Grammy-winning soundtrack may have made the Bee Gees the biggest band in the world, but Tony Manero (a deservedly Oscar-nominated Travolta) is more like a Bruce Springsteen antihero. – Richard Whittaker Read a full review of Saturday Night Fever.Sun., July 14, 6:30pm -

Spirited Away (2001)
The movie that turned anime master – and notorious curmudgeon and martinet – Hayao Miyazaki from a revered artist in Japan to the most famous animator globally since Walt Disney. His story of a young girl who must enter a fantastical world after her parents are turned into pigs has spawned a thousand collectibles but never lost its narrative and thematic power. Come for the cute, weird creatures. Stay for a vicious dissection of runaway Western style consumerism’s impact on Japanese culture. – Richard Whittaker Read a full review of Spirited Away.Sun., July 14, 1:30pm
