A lost masterpiece finally resurrected. Screened only once before the 1979 Iranian Revolution, Chess of the Wind is a transgressive testament to art surviving by any means necessary. Found in a Tehran junk yard in 2015 before being restored by The World Cinema Project, this gem is just awaiting your discovery. Stunning. Thought provoking. Haunting.
And as a spooky season bonus, we’ll be rocking a live score preshow of Buster Keaton’s The Haunted House (1921) — courtesy of our beloved @thegoldenschauer
To all those at last week’s live score, you understand how hard he’s about to tear this down 🧡
