An anniversary well worth celebrating, the standard of quality when it comes to the releases of Grasshopper Film is simply unmatched in the world of international cinema. Bringing films by Kleber Mendonça Filho, Hong Sangsoo, Jem Cohen, Albert Serra, Bertrand Bonello, Ryūsuke Hamaguchi, Bi Gan, Pedro Costa, Claire Denis, Alain Gomis, Oliver Laxe, Tsai-ming Liang, Michael Almereyda, Eduardo Williams, and many more to the U.S., the NY-based distributor is now celebrating its 10th anniversary with a special retrospective at Metrograph featuring a selection of standout films. Ahead of the series beginning December 4, we’re pleased to exclusively debut the trailer.
Titles in the series include Afternoons of Solitude, Chronicle of Anna Magdalena Bach, Gueule d’Amour, Kaili Blues, Leviathan, Museum Hours, Nocturama, and The Power of Kangwon Province, featuring a Q&A with Jem Cohen for Museum Hours on Friday, December 4 and Q&A with Lucien Castaing-Taylor for Leviathan on Sunday, December 6, with more Q&As to be announced. The series coincides with their release of Kogonada’s zi, which opened in theaters on November 6, as well as the recent release of Kevin Walker and Jack Auen’s Chronovisor earlier this fall.
“Grasshopper was started with two simple beliefs,” said founder Ryan Krivoshey. “First, in films that take risks and approach the world in ways we haven’t seen before. And second, in audiences who share that curiosity, who are eager to discover work that surprises and astonishes, and challenges our ideas of what cinema can be. Over these past 10 years, it’s been incredibly gratifying to see these beliefs affirmed again and again. We’re grateful to everyone who’s come along with us on this journey and excited for what comes next.”
