There are movies that happen to take place in San Francisco, and then there are movies that could only exist there. SO I MARRIED AN AXE MURDERER is firmly in the latter camp. Bay Area Movies presents a screening of the film on 35mm at The Roxie on Tuesday, August 4.

Mike Myers’ cult classic follows commitment phobic poet Charlie MacKenzie as his whirlwind romance with butcher Harriet Michaels is complicated by the growing suspicion that she may be the notorious serial killer known as “Mrs. X.”

Funny, romantic, and unmistakably San Francisco, the film has become a beloved snapshot of the city in the early 1990s, capturing its neighborhoods, landmarks, and unmistakable character with genuine affection. Whether you have quoted it for years or have never seen it on the big screen, join us in celebrating one of San Francisco’s most iconic cult films with the audience it deserves.

Mary Harron has built one of contemporary cinema’s sharpest bodies of work examining the myths and contradictions of American culture. To celebrate the new 4K restoration of I SHOT ANDY WARHOL, this August we are pairing her acclaimed debut with AMERICAN PSYCHO, two defining works that trace a line from the radical art world of the 1960s to the consumer excess of the 1980s. Together, they showcase Harron’s singular ability to expose the uneasy relationship between fame, power, identity, and violence.

This year's edition of the Fraenkel Film Festival concludes with a cornerstone of the French New Wave, HIROSHIMA MON AMOUR, selected by artist Kota Ezawa.

“A complex yet compelling tour de force—as a patent plea for peace and the abolition of atomic warfare, as a poetic evocation of love lost and momentarily found, and as a curiously intricate but intriguing montage of thinking on several planes in Proustian style.” – A. H. Weiler, The New York Times

A French actress (Emmanuelle Riva) and a Japanese architect (Eiji Okada) engage in a brief, intense affair in postwar Hiroshima, their consuming mutual fascination impelling them to exorcise their own scarred memories of love and suffering.

Drawing from media, art history, and popular culture, Kota Ezawa investigates the power of certain images, distilling memories of significant historical moments into their basic forms. Using animation, slide projections, lightboxes, paper cut-outs, and collage, Ezawa transforms complex visual information into its most essential elements, creating striking, flattened versions of photographs and artworks that explore the construction of shared experience through images.

The Fraenkel Film Festival, now in its third year, is a groundbreaking cinema series, curated entirely by visual artists from the Fraenkel Gallery program.
