Darol Olu Kae, Jen Everett, Don Thomas, Jamie Robertson, and Dana Washington
NR; Shorts series; 60 minutes

Mining Memories: Black Radical Archival Practices is a series of five short films exploring the various ways filmmakers engage with Black memory and archives. Each film demonstrates the power of experimentation, utilizing archival sources that range from personal to institutional. Together, the films offer a poetic reflection on time, introspection, and politics of the world we live in.

Shoshana

Directed by Michael Winterbottom
NR; 121 minutes

“Like nearly all of [Michael] Winterbottom’s work, this film judiciously balances earnestness with more visceral concerns, and mostly hits the right notes.” — Leslie Felperin, The Hollywood Reporter

Shall We Dance?

Directed by Masayuki Suô
PG; Japanese with English Subtitles; 137 minutes

“Shall We Dance? combines the best elements of old-fashioned ‘gotta dance’ romance with the courage it takes to overcome strict behavioral boundaries, both self-imposed and societal.” —Ann Hornaday, Austin American-Statesman

The Phoenician Scheme

Directed by Wes Anderson
PG-13; 105 minutes

“Less conceptually quirky than the eccentric auteur’s recent Asteroid City, but no less profound, The Phoenician Scheme once again finds [Wes] Anderson incorporating existential matters into a seemingly satirical form.” —Peter Debruge, Variety

Hot Milk

Directed by Rebecca Lenkiewicz
NR; 93 minutes

“[Hot Milk] is a complicated soup of moods and ideas, and the film is always in danger of drifting out into a sea of ambiguity. . . But the fierce sinew of [Fiona] Shaw’s performance gives the film some shape and keeps it grounded.” —Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
