  European Film Award nominee and a very likely contender for the 2010 best documentary feature Academy Award*, Yoav Shamir&#8217;s Defamation opens on Friday, Nov. 20, in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco and other cities across the United States.
The film info below is from distributor First Run Features&#8217; website:
&#34;Intent on shaking up the ultimate ‘sacred cow’ for Jews, Israeli  director Yoav Shamir embarks on a provocative &#8212; and at times irreverent  &#8212; quest to answer the question, &#8216;What is anti-Semitism today?&#8217; Does it  remain a dangerous and immediate threat? Or is it a scare tactic used  by right-wing Zionists to discredit their critics?

A Well Paid Walk by Milos Forman (top); Vaclav Havel in Citizen Havel by Pavel Koutecký and Miroslav Janek (middle); The Karamazovs by Petr Zelenka (bottom)

New Czech Films at New York&#8217;s BAMcinématek. The series includes works by two-time Academy Award winner Milos Forman and Jan H?ebejk, whose Divided We Fall (2000) was nominated for a best foreign language film Oscar. Václav Marhoul&#8217;s war drama Tobruk, which is supposed to show that there&#8217;s &#34;a very thin line between heroism and cowardice,&#34; sounds particularly intriguing. All films in Czech with English  subtitles.
  Schedule and film information from the BAMcinématek website:

Sophie Okonedo in Skin

Winner of four audience awards, including at the AFI Dallas and Santa Barbara film festivals,  Skin tells the factually inspired (and quite curious) story of Sandra Laing (Hotel Rwanda&#8217;s Academy Award nominee Sophie Okonedo as an adult; Ella Ramangwane as child), the &#34;black&#34; daughter of  &#34;white&#34; Afrikaner parents (veterans Sam Neill and Alice Krige), who until then &#8212; South Africa in the 1950s &#8212; had been  unaware that they must have had some black ancestors.
Though raised as a white girl by her parents, Sandra soon discovers the importance of her skin color after she&#8217;s officially reclassified as black and is expelled from her school. Her parents then fight a judicial battle to have their [...]]]></description>

Lew Ayres and Louis Wolheim in All Quiet on the Western Front

The silent version of the best picture Academy Award winner All Quiet on the Western Front (1930), in my view the greatest war movie ever made, will be screened at New York City&#8217;s Film Forum on Monday, August 3. Showtimes are at 3:20, 6:50, and 9:20. 
Having been restored and preserved by the Library of Congress, and featuring two reels cut from the original talkie print following the film&#8217;s East and West Coast premieres, this silent version &#8212; edited from the foreign negative &#8212; comes  with musical accompaniment intended for foreign markets where theaters  hadn&#8217;t yet been equipped to sound.

The winner of 7 French Academy Awards, including best film, best original screenplay, and best actress, Martin Provost&#8217;s Séraphine stars Yolande Moreau as painter Séraphine Louis, aka Séraphine de Senlis, a plain, poor, uncultured, devoutly Catholic, and emotionally unbalanced housekeeper who became known as a major artistic talent in the early 20th century.
Written by Provost and Marc Abdelnour, Séraphine focuses on the artist&#8217;s relationship with avant-garde art dealer Wilhelm Uhde (played by Ulrich Tukur), who one day discovered that his cleaning lady in the town of Senlis was a masterful painter. 
A sleeper hit in France, Séraphine has been met with raves on this side of the Atlantic as well. The LA Weekly&#8217;s Scott Foundas called it &#34;the best movie [...]]]></description>

Viridiana, Luis Buñuel&#8217;s   provocative 1961 Palme d&#8217;Or-winning classic proving that life is a bitch and then you play cards, will run at New York City&#8217;s Film Forum from Friday, April 24, through Thursday, April 30.
Inspired by a painting of   Saint Viridiana kneeling  on the floor before a crucifix and crown of thorns (and by Benito Pérez Galdós&#8216; novel Halma), co-written by Buñuel and Julio Alejandro, and financed by the lead actress&#8217; rich husband, Viridiana  stars Silvia Pinal (recently honored with a Lifetime Achievement Ariel Award), as a  pious young nun who, before entering a cloister, goes visit her strange and reclusive uncle (Fernando Rey).

Leave Her to Heaven (1945) &#8212; one of the best (and brightest) of all film noirs &#8212; will be screened  at New York City&#8217;s Film Forum from March 6-12.
I&#8217;ve already written about Leave Her to Heaven when it was screened in Los Angeles a couple of years ago, so I&#8217;ll just add here that this psychological thriller-melodrama should be watched on the big screen and that the stunningly beautiful Gene Tierney &#8212; as a woman who loved too (pathologically) much &#8212; was a much better actress than people give her credit for.
Call it a &#34;woman&#8217;s film&#34; if you wish, but in its own trash-novel style Leave Her to Heaven is cooler, tougher, and more disturbing than The Maltese Falcon, [...]]]></description>

The Museum of Modern Art&#8217;s ongoing Agnieszka Holland retrospective in New York City continues until January 5, 2009. Holland, best known for her World War II era drama Europa Europa, The Secret Garden (above, lower photo), Washington Square, and Total Eclipse (top photo, with Leonardo DiCaprio), directed and wrote a number of lesser-known films in her native Poland.
Among the upcoming MoMA screenings are several efforts from her Polish period, including the 1981 political dramas Fever and A Lonely Woman, both of which were banned in Poland at the time.
Also screening are the intriguing US-made drama Anna (1987), directed by Yurek Bogayevicz, written by Holland, and starring a magnificent, Oscar-nominated Sally Kirkland, and the social drama The Offsiders (2008), directed by [...]]]></description>

&#160;
Co-written by partners Cory James Krueckeberg and Tom Gustafson (from Gustafson&#8217;s 2003 short Faeries) and directed by Gustafson, Were the World Mine tells the story of small-town teen Timothy (Tanner Cohen), who happens to be gay, ostracized, and in love with his private school&#8217;s top jock (Nathaniel David Becker). Timothy&#8217;s sole means of escape is his musico-magical world, filled with shining lights and singing  athletes. 
Enters a quirky English teacher (hilariously played by Wendy Robie of Twin Peaks), who decides to stage a production of Shakespeare&#8217;s A Midsummer Night&#8217;s Dream. Timothy is cast as Puck and ends up playing the role offstage as well, using a liquid-spraying, purple pansy to spread  love &#8212; of the sort that dares [...]]]></description>

Akira Kurosawa&#8217;s 1950 classic Rashomon, which officially introduced Japanese cinema to the world at large, will be the next film presented as part of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ series “Monday Nights with  Oscar.” The  East Coast premiere of the new  digitally restored print of  Rashomon  will take place on Monday, November 17, at 7:30 p.m. at the  Academy Theater in New York City.

Although Bob Hope was one of the most popular American (though English-born) entertainers of the 20th century, I&#8217;ve always found him hard to swallow. So, why am I so disappointed that I won&#8217;t be in New York City this fall (Oct. 7&#8211;Nov. 25) to check out the New York Public Library for the  Performing Arts&#8216; free screenings of the series &#34;Bob Hope: Thanks for the Memories&#34;?
