For this year’s celebration of Art House Theater Day, we’ve got a real double feature treat from one of our local Bay Area auteurs, Rob Nilsson! We’ll be showcasing two of his acclaimed films on classic 35mm – 1979’s Northern Lights (co-directed by John Hanson) and 1988’s Heat and Sunlight.

Agnès Varda’s enchanting ode to female friendship and liberation is part blissed-out bohemian musical, part revolutionary cri de coeur. Set against France’s pro-choice struggle (of which Varda herself was on the frontlines) this tender and intimate epic celebrates the power of women to lift one another up.
