FEBRUARY 10–16, Friday–Thursday At 7 Seattle Premiere! We Can’t Go Home Again (Nicolas Ray, 1973-1979, USA, Blu-ray, 90 min) On the occasion of Ray’s centenary, we are proud to present the most complete version of this one-of-a-kind film in a stunning digital restoration undertaken by Ray’s widow, Susan Ray. Made by the one-eyed legendary director and his students during his stint as a film professor at State University of New York, Binghamton, under abysmal financial conditions, the film records Ray’s groundbreaking use of multiple images as a way of telling more than one story simultaneously, and of colorization as a way to heighten emotional expression. He called it a “journalistic” film, one that shares the anthropologist’s aim of recording the “history, progress, manners, morals and mores of everyday life” at a critical moment in American history. We Can’t Go Home Againis a crucial document in both Ray's filmography and in the history of American independent cinema. February 10–16, Friday–Thursday At 9PM Seattle Premiere! Don’t Expect Too Much (Susan Ray, 2011, USA, Blu-ray, 70 min) Using film, video, and stills from Nicholas Ray’s archive, along with interviews with original crew members and directors Jim Jarmusch and Victor Erice, Susan Ray reconstructs the making of Nick’s last, long-unseen work We Can’t Go Home Again. "'Don't Expect Too Much' may well have been the most advanced and audacious film of the era! The fact that it has been invisible for decades and is only now becoming available makes a viewing—and its release—all the more essential. To quote a now familiar line: It isn’t that Nicholas Ray was ahead of his time; he was in step with it when others were behind it." —Richard Brody, The New Yorker “Cinema at the end of its tether” —Jonathan Rosenbaum
