Featured screening: The Baron at BAMcinématek

Happy December! Don’t forget to cut your rent check.

Full writeup is on hiatus today. In brief: BAMcinématek‘s Sound and Fury: Recent Portuguese Cinema series begins today with The Baron, a Kafkaesque tale presented in the style of vintage RKO B-movie goth. Per the description, “Edgar Pêra fills every frame with moody B-movie atmospherics, creating a totem for a represesed, artistically stymied era of Portuguese cinema.”

The work of one of my favorite filmmakers, Peter Kubelka, is on view at Anthology Film Archives tonight. “Peter Kubelka is the world’s greatest filmmaker.” —Stan Brakhage

The Brooklyn Comics and Graphics Festival, the premiere showcase for alternative cartooning, takes place all day Saturday, but a number of satellite events run through the weekend. The film festival program begins today at Spectacle Theater with a double feature of hilariously over the top Euro supervillain movies: KiLiNK Istanbul’da and Danger: Diabolik. Highlight of the film program is without a doubt Selections from the 2011 Eyeworks Festival of Experimental Animation, spread across several programs Saturday and Sunday night.

And at 92YTribeca, Red Channels presents Alexander Kluge‘s Part-Time Work of a Domestic Slave.
