New York City Repertory Cinema

Film Forum is screening the new 4K restoration of Killer of Sheep from Friday, April 18 through Thursday, April 24.

Again this reinstates the one song they couldn't clear when the film had its belated theatrical debut in 2007 - up until now, it was replaced with "This Bitter Earth" which was already being used in one of the film's most famous scenes.

Charles Burnett himself will be there for three screenings. One of them has sold out, but there are still tickets left for the Q&A on Saturday evening and the intro on Sunday afternoon.

Wow, I was just wondering if the original tune would ever be restored. That's how I first saw it (that is, with the original soundtrack) and every subsequent restoration has seemed a bit amiss as a result.

May 16–25: Kira Muratova: A Retrospective at Lincoln Center. This is a big one; don't miss it if you are in NYC!

Don’t miss the Jamaa Fanaka films, either

Her life and work are completely new to me. Thanks.

Ando, you are most welcome!
A full lineup is now posted.
This is a rare opportunity to see such hard-to-find gems as Sentimental Policeman, Minor People and Two in One.
Muratova's masterpieces The Tuner and The Asthenic Syndrome are listed as new 4K restorations, which gives me hope that Criterion may release them on discs in the future.
