C I N E M A T A L K

BY JOHN EWING, CI E AT E UE DI ECT

The uly deaths of filmmakers ichael Cimino and Abbas Kiarostami have reminded me of two missed opportunities involving them. I had invited both

men to appear in person at the Cinematheque at different times, but neither came. Cimino made The Deer Hunter, of course, and since he shot much of it in Tremont, I thought it would be fitting to bring him back to the city that helped kick-start his career. I sent him more than one letter but never heard back from him. So his reunion with Cleveland never happened. A few years after this attempt, illem Dafoe (whom Cimino had fired from Heaven’s Gate) told me that Cimino was reclusive, so his not getting back to me was not surprising. Since Cimino was born in 1939, I just figured I would try him again at a later date. But now he will never come back to Cleveland. e show The Deer Hunter in his memory on September 3. Abbas Kiarostami, on the other hand, had agreed to come to the Cinema-theque. The Iranian master’s appearance with his Cannes Film Festival Palme d’Or winner Taste of Cherry was announced and publici ed for February 22, 1998. ur show was one stop on an American tour, and he was definitely in the country. But a day or two before the screening, we got an email or a fax (I can’t remember which) informing us that Kiarostami had to cancel his Cleveland ap-pearance and suspend part of his U.S. tour due to doctor’s orders. Fortunately, we already had the film print in our possession, so we were able to deliver at least that. But his no-show was a mighty disappointment, and is compounded now by his untimely death at the tender age of 76. Kiarostami was a major film artist, and we screen Taste of Cherry again on September 18 in his memory. These two losses have put me in a re ective mood. I’ve started thinking about other missed opportunities over my 30 years as a film programmer at the Cinematheque and the Cleveland useum of Art. Fortunately, the public does not see these, remembering only the special events that actually happen. But the ones that got away still haunt some of us who couldn’t reel them in. y list of failures is long, especially if you include all the invitation letters and emails that went unanswered or unacknowledged. But even when correspon-dence was answered and invitations accepted, subsequent plans sometimes went South. I think of oss unter, the Cleveland-born-and-raised ollywood film producer of such movies as Pillow Talk and Douglas Sirk’s Magnificent Obsession, All That Heaven Allows, and Imitation of Life. e was going to ap-pear at the art museum in the early 1990s. Then his sister, who still lived in Cleveland, died casting a pall on his returning to hio. e asked for time to recover, but before we could reschedule, he himself died. Then there was master reek filmmaker Theo Angelopoulos, who was going to attend a near-complete retrospective of his work at the art museum. This was a few years before he won the Palme d’Or at the 1998 Cannes Film Festival for Eternity and a Day and became better known in American art house circles. But at the 11th hour he demanded a second round-trip airline ticket from

reece for his wife. This broke the budget, and I ended up not scheduling his appearance. There was ames Card, the Cleveland-born film curator who established the motion picture collection at the eorge Eastman ouse (now the eorge Eastman useum) in ochester, ew ork, one of the major film archives in the U.S. e was going to come to Cleveland in 1995 in conjunction with a series of film rarities from the Eastman collection, but canceled due to either health or temperament. I was never sure which. hom else have Clevelanders never seen in person at the Cinematheque or art museum ell, there was late Belgian master Chantal Akerman, who canceled her scheduled 10/19/13 visit in order to return to Belgium and attend to her dying mother (Akerman herself committed suicide less than two years later); writer-director Paul a ursky, whose 1976 film Next Stop, Greenwich Vil-lage changed the direction of my life; and Shaker eights native Paul ewman. The good news is that two of my long dreamed-of special events are ac-tually happening in September and ctober. eteran ollywood actor uss Tamblyn (West Side Story, Twin Peaks), who began his career as the kid from Cleveland in the shot-in-Cleveland 1949 baseball movie of the same name, returns to the Cleveland useum of Art (one of the locations in the film) on September 18. ( e appears with two of his other movies on 9/16 & 17 at the Cinematheque.) And on ctober 8, the Cinematheque will finally present one of the holy grails of repertory film programming tto Preminger’s long-sup-pressed, almost-impossible-to-see 1959 film version of ershwin’s Porgy and Bess. ead about it inside.

Parking notice. The large public parking lot that runs along E. 117th Street from ayfield oad to E. 115th Street in front of the Cinematheque en-trance is going away. It may even be gone by the time you read this. A new development is going up on that site. Though this complex will have a parking garage, it won’t be completed for another 1 to 2 years. In the meantime, park free in CIA’s Lot 73 or in the CIA annex lot, both accessed from E. 117th Street (though you may now have to turn onto E. 117th from Euclid, not ayfield).

Saturday, September 24ART HOUSE THEATER DAY

Today is the first-ever Art ouse Theater Day, a nationwide celebration of the small, inde-pendently owned specialty film theaters that enrich many U.S. cities. rgani ed by the Art

ouse Convergence (a consortium of inde-pendent, community-based, mission-driven movie theaters), this special day will be cele-brated at the Cinematheque with three unique programs: a collection of recent French ani-mated shorts and a two-part, three-film Cahn Film Festival (Edward L. Cahn, that is). Cahn (1899-1963) is best known as the director of scores of B-movies. But he began his career at Universal, where he made the three shock-ingly grim and startlingly good films (Imogen Sara Smith), which we will show. According to Smith, these three Pre-Code movies form a kind of unholy triptych, three variations on the bottomless theme of American corruption and violence. Film curator Dave Kehr, who recently programmed this trio of Cahn clas-sics at o A, concurs: Eddie Cahn’s films are ama ing. This guy was a major, major tal-ent who just got washed out of the business because he was so far ahead of his time and so grim. They are just jaw-dropping unbe-lievable. See below for details.

Can implanting goat testicles cure male im-potence and infertility 1920s Kansas quack doctor ohn . Brinkley thought so, and he got famous and rich by performing the opera-tion and establishing clinics and hospitals in many states. e also spread the gospel of goat glands via the airwaves (Brinkley was a pio-neering broadcaster and radio station owner) and eventually entered politics. But he was long dogged by doubting medical experts and government regulators. Penny Lane tells this bi-arre but largely unknown American story with

a snappy mix of animation, vintage audio and film clips, and interviews. Ultimately, this isn’t a film about goat balls at all, but the willingness of millions to believe that some slick-talking dema-gogue knows more about what’s good for them and their families than someone with actual qualifications. –A.V.

But we’ve been granted one on the occasion of our 30th anniversary this year, and because Dorothy Dandridge, the female lead, was from Cleveland. The rest of the black cast, playing residents of Catfish ow, is equally stellar: Sidney Poitier, Sammy Davis, r., Pearl Bailey, Diahann Carroll, and Brock Peters. ne of the dancers is aya Angelou. ominated for four Academy Awards, the film won the scar for Best Score of a u-sical Picture.

POINT OF ORDERUSA, 1964, Emile de Antonio

America’s most notorious demagogue, the anti-Communist bulldog and bully Senator oseph

cCarthy, stars in this subversive nonfiction film culled from 188 hours of live T broadcasts of the 1954 Army- cCarthy hearings. The in-quiry was to determine whether the U.S. Army had been pressured into giving special treat-ment to a former cCarthy aide, as it claimed, or was merely retaliating against cCarthy for his aggressive hunt for Communists in the military. This minimalist classic, with no added commentary, has more drama and fireworks than a do en new action movies. D D. 97 min. Special thanks to Dan Talbot.
