Feliz Pascua a todos! April’s calendar is now up on the THIS MONTH page. Happy to kick off the month with such a banger this coming Tuesday:

It’s a cinéma vérité style film about a group of jazz musicians/drug addicts who are waiting for their next fix. It features Blue Note musicians like pianist Freddie Redd, who also composed the score, along with Jackie McLean, Tina Brooks, Larry Ritchie, and Michael Mattos. Crazy advanced for 1961. Big thank you to Bryan (member of my current favorite Miami band, Steve McQueen) for choosing this. Can’t wait to see it and hope to see you there.

Last week, Half Broken Sigil curated a really sick night by showing Christian Blackwood’s Motel (1989), which originally was part of PBS’s POV series, and then doing a live score over Suzann Pitt’s short animated film Asparagus (1979). Their set was amazing and really blew my mind. Follow them here to check out live footage from the show and just keep up with them in general. A big thank you to them for bringing something new to Tuesday nights and doing a really beautiful job.

OK we are BACK! This Tuesday, my dear dear dear dear friend Luis (founder of Miami Moviegoers) is finally coming by and playing a movie that he loves — Eyes Without a Face (1960). He’ll also be talking about some upcoming action with the Miami Film Festival, including a Miami Moviegoers group outing to a special screening of Erupcja starring Charli XCX on April 10th.

From Luis: “Eyes Without a Face is, in some respects, a horror film, but it is more so a deeply poetic and operatic melodrama—one that is both grand in its story elements and intimate in its portrayal of the central father and daughter pair. I have only ever watched this film at home by myself, and I can’t wait to experience it at Churchill’s with a crowd of moviegoers.”

Luis is a great host and to know him is to love him, so definitely come by!

I won’t be there, but if you feel inclined, check out Churchill’s tomorrow there will be a cover band, a shibari bondage mermaid, and a fire spinner (or eater?). See you next time, on 3/24, we’ll be screening Eyes Without A Face with a very special guest host!

Come see Norman M. screen his short film Double Dipper before we kick off the feature!

Also, I finally have a website up and running! I know it’s a little dry, but I hope to include more pictures and blurbs from guest hosts and such. Stay tuned!
