Since any New York cinephile has a nearly suffocating wealth of theatrical options, we figured it’d be best to compile some of the more worthwhile repertory showings into one handy list. Displayed below are a few of the city’s most reliable theaters and links to screenings of their weekend offerings — films you’re not likely to see in a theater again anytime soon, and many of which are, also, on 35mm. If you have a chance to attend any of these, we’re of the mind that it’s time extremely well-spent.

A full-career Brian De Palma retrospective is now underway. Sisters and Carrie play on Friday, and Saturday brings The Phantom of the Paradise — but that’s not even half of the first weekend.

Thom Andersen and Pedro Costa on stage at the Courtisane Festival. Photo by Michiel Devijver.This year’s Courtisane Festival paired Pedro Costa and Thom Andersen as their artists in focus. Both filmmakers hung out with each other and the public for the full five days of this under-recognized gem of a festival in Ghent. What at first might seem very different directors with distinct backgrounds actually proved to be kindred spirits. In the end credits of his new cine-history, The Thoughts That Once We Had, Andersen thanks Costa, because “without [him] this motion picture would have been poorer.” Andersen has admired Costa’s work ever since he discovered In Vanda’s Room (2000) at the Montreal Festival du Nouveau Cinéma in 2001. He wrote about this experience and about Colossal Youth (2006) in Film Comment in 2007. Andersen has invited Costa to CalArts, where he teaches, more than once, and Cinema Scope published a...

The Film Society of Lincoln Center today announced the details for their upcoming series "Red Hollywood and the Blacklist." Beginning Friday, August 15th, it will parallel the one-week exclusive theatrical run of Thom Andersen and Noel Burch’s revelatory documentary "Red Hollywood," which offers a unique perspective on Hollywood filmmaking from the 1930s to the 1950s, when "red” screenwriters and directors worked within the studio system to make films that challenged issues of class, war, race, and gender. The film series, chosen by Andersen, is a selection of movies by blacklist casualties. "There are many remarkable films by Hollywood blacklist victims that could not be excerpted in 'Red Hollywood,'" Anderson explained. "This series provides a rare opportunity to discover -- or revisit -- some of these gems projected on the big screen." Among those films are two from Joseph Losey ("The Prowler" and "Big Night"), as well as a pair from.

"With regard to longevity and productivity, not to mention talent, the only peers of the great Spanish director Luis Buñuel (1900–83) are his contemporaries Fritz Lang and Alfred Hitchcock," writes J Hoberman, opening a review of Román Gubern and Paul Hammond's Luis Buñuel: The Red Years 1929-1939 for the Nation.
