THE MOST IMPORTANT FILM OF THE YEAR

In secret conversations on the rooftops of Tel Aviv at night, the systems behind Israel’s calculated mass killing of Palestinian civilians in Gaza are revealed by the people who designed and operated them.

FROM THE FILMMAKERS: We made this film out of a sense of obligation to use our position as Israeli filmmakers and journalists to examine the systems behind the mass killing of Palestinian civilians for which our country is responsible. While filming members of Israel’s military on rooftops at night in Tel Aviv over the past three years, we found ourselves asking the very questions that were asked by our grandparents’ generation and throughout the 20th century: how does one group of people allow the total dehumanization of another? What do the inner workings of such a system look like? Many of the revelations in the film were published almost immediately as we learned of them, in the months following the October 7th attacks, by The Guardian (one of NAZA’s producers), in collaboration with reporting partners +972 Magazine and Local Call. The film lets us explore something deeper than we could in our investigative journalism alone: not only the words being said but also those that are not said, the silence. It is up to all of us to break that silence.

After the Sunday 10/18 4:30pm showing Chico Palestinian Advocacy Network will host a discussion including Palestinian perspective and insights into the film's impact in Israeli society.

BEGOTTEN has no characters in the ordinary sense. Its final credits name three principal figures: God Killing Himself. Mother Earth. Son of Earth – Flesh on Bone. The entire film is what those names do to each other and to the earth. God Killing Himself tears open his body and dies. Mother Earth rises from what remains and takes his seed into herself. She gives birth to Son of Earth Flesh on Bone. He is cast into a barren world, seized by the Nomads, tortured, killed, and briefly returned to life by his mother.The Nomads destroy her too. The Robed Figures gather what remains of mother and son, grind their bodies down, and return them to the soil. The ground flowers.

Shot on 16mm and rephotographed frame by frame over four years, BEGOTTEN transforms bodies, landscape, darkness, light and grain into a physical world with its own laws. This new restoration presents the film in the complete photographic form it was always meant to possess. A mindbending exploration of life and death not for the faint of heart. You may find it hard to shake off the artistry and originality of this visionary effort. And if you're looking to be freaked out you shouldn't pass it up, a mandatory pilgrimage for fans of truly weird cinema.

OCTOBER 24 - 25

MODERN TIMES, Charlie Chaplin’s last outing as the Little Tramp, puts the iconic character to work as a giddily inept factory employee who becomes smitten with a gorgeous gamine (Paulette Goddard). With its barrage of unforgettable gags and sly commentary on class struggle during the Great Depression, Modern Times—though made almost a decade into the talkie era and containing moments of sound (even song!)—is a timeless showcase of Chaplin’s untouchable genius as a director of silent comedy. Widely considered one of the greatest films ever, with MODERN TIMES Chaplin proves again what the whole world already acknowledges - that he is the greatest artist of the silent screen, the most eloquent master of mime, and the simplest, most essential, and most touching of comedians.
