When Max Klein (Jeff Bridges) survives a plane crash that kills many others, his last-minute epiphanies bring him a sense of invulnerability, leading to radical behavior. Instead of contacting his wife (Isabella Rossellini) after the crash, he sets off on a trip to see his old girlfriend, eats foods he was allergic to previously, and is strangely unafraid to fly again. Can a psychologist (John Turturro) and a fellow guilt-ridden survivor (Rosie Perez) help bring him down to earth?

Grace (Rosie Perez) is a motivated career woman, married to the co-host (Diego Serrano) of a show she produces on television. When she finds out that she’s pregnant, she is surprised, apprehensive and immediately shoved into the spotlight when her boss, Joan, (Patti LuPone) uses Grace’s pregnancy to draw in viewers. Grace must struggle to be the ideal wife and mother, all the while maintaining her sanity at work with the help of her assistant, Madeline (Marianne Jean-Baptiste).

Viva

Starring: Anna Biller, Jared Sanford, Bridget Brno, Chad England

Nearly 10 years before her instantly iconic The Love Witch, director Anna Biller crafted her first feature Viva, a colorful sex comedy set in the 70s for which she is not only credited as writer, director, producer, editor, production designer and costume designer, but also plays the lead.

Citing the main influences as early Playboy photo spreads and Luis Buñuel’s Belle de Jour, Biller created the suburban world of Barbi, a housewife who has her world turned upside down after her husband abandons her. She dives into the sexual revolution, and indulges in all it has to offer, testing her own boundaries. With her signature meticulousness, Biller fills the frame with colorful decor and wild costumes (she even painted some of the canvases on display), effectively making Viva seem like a rediscovered lost film.

Includes a raffle of early copies of Anna Biller’s new book, “Bluebeard’s Castle.”

Hollywood Shuffle

Starring: Robert Townsend, Anne-Marie Johnson, Starletta DuPois, Helen Martin, Craigus R Johnson

The Honeymoon Killers

Starring: Shirley Stoler, Tony Lo Bianco, Doris Roberts, Mary Jane Higby

Martha Beck (Shirley Stoler), an obese nurse who is desperately lonely, joins a “correspondence club” and finds a romantic pen pal in Ray Fernandez (Tony Lo Bianco). Martha falls hard for Ray, and is intent on sticking with him even when she discovers he’s a con man who seduces lonely single women, kills them and then takes their money. She poses as Ray’s sister and joins Ray on a wild killing spree, fueled by her lingering concern that Ray will leave her for one of his marks.

At Close Range

Starring: Sean Penn, Christopher Walken, Mary Stuart Masterson, Chris Penn, Millie Perkins

Note: This rare print includes Spanish subtitles

Following starmaking turns in films like Fast Times in Ridgemont High and The Falcon and the Snowman, Sean Penn cemented his method acting chops and bad boy image with this “based on a true story” crime drama from James Foley (Reckless, Glengarry Glen Ross).

A mustachioed Christopher Walken (in “zaddy baddie” mode) is Brad Whitewood, Sr., a career criminal in rural Pennsylvania. When Brad’s unlawful activities begin intersecting with his sons (played by real life brothers Sean and Chris Penn), a series of illegal and dark events force Penn’s Brad, Jr. to decide between allegiance to his family or the police. Will blood be thicker than water? Featuring performances from a who’s who of the decade’s rising stars (Mary Stuart Masterson, Kiefer Sutherland, Crispin Glover) and a theme song by Penn’s then spouse, Madonna, At Close Range offers an 80s vision of a Shakespearean-Americana opera broadcasting Penn at his pin-up broodiest.
