đŒđ Our Staff Picks series gets wonderfully weird on Wednesday, June 24 with Oscar Hardingâs A LIFE ON THE FARM (2022).
This bizarre, hilarious, and strangely haunting documentary uncovers the homemade VHS tapes created by eccentric English farmer Charles Carson in the 1990s â videos that play like part pastoral documentary, part accidental nightmare.
Presented with the Found Footage Festival, this special screening features Harding and Found Footage Fest co-founder Joe Pickett in person, plus a pre-show VHS presentation from Pickett himself. The feature will also screen on VHS. đïž https://facets.org/programs/found-footage-presents-a-life-on-the-farm/
It's melancholy, it's cynical, it's BĂ©la Tarrâs SĂTĂNTANGĂ (1994). This Sunday, our ESSENTIALS series presents SĂTĂNTANGĂ in its full 7-hour glory. In light of BĂ©la Tarrâs recent passing, this presentation serves as a tribute to a true artist who believed in cinema and the unforgiving worlds it can bring to anyone.

BĂ©la Tarr's austere 7-hour epic SĂTĂNTANGĂ (1994) screens this Sunday, May 24th
Long before it was widely accessible in the states, FACETS championed film, becoming the first to release it on DVD in the US and helping introduce Tarrâs monumental cinema to new audiences. Its history is deeply tied to our founder, Milos Stehlik, whose passion for bold, uncompromising filmmaking shaped our programming from the beginning.
Now, in the wake of Tarrâs recent passing and in celebration of our anniversary month, weâre honored to bring this towering achievement back to the theater where it belongs. đ https://facets.org/programs/satantango/
