Monday, June 9, 6:00 p.m. | Psst! Peer into the unknown, embrace the ambiguity, and show up to the Film Center for a screening that is entirely, absolutely, and completely "to be announced"—quite literally until the moment the lights go down. Starting the week prior to each screening, we’ll drop hints via social media and on our website: decade of release, country (or continent), genre, maybe even a cast member or two if we’re feeling generous. Feel free to guess, but we’re not telling, at least not until showtime. Feeling lucky? Drop your guess in our Mystery Movie Monday box at concessions. One right guesser will win a prize pack with two complimentary tickets plus popcorn and drink vouchers for your next visit to the Film Center. No refunds, no spoiling the surprise, and— hopefully—no booing. If it helps, the suspense is killing us, too! 

CLUES:

  1. Not an American film. 
  2. The director appears in the film. 
  3. Arguably a "road movie." 
  4. A video plays an important part of this film's narrative.
  5. This director received an 8 minute standing ovation at this year's Cannes Film Festival.

Content consideration: this film contains themes of self harm.
