SUMMARY:PMA Films: Wild Inside
DESCRIPTION:Directed by Penny Lane. 95 minutes. Not Rated. In English. \nWhat would happen if a captive-born owl with no survival skills tried to make it on his own in New York City? In Wild Inside\, we discover the answer is more incredible\, and more consequential\, than we could have ever imagined. \nIn February 2023\, a Eurasian Eagle-Owl named Flaco escapes from the Central Park Zoo and sets off on a magical odyssey through the island of Manhattan. Flaco answers the call of the wild – and discovers he was wild inside all along. \nWild Inside is an underdog story of resilience and self determination as Flaco the Owl beats the odds and accomplishes the impossible. Flaco busts out of his cage barely able to fly\, but he adapts\, he explores and eventually – it seems – he goes far beyond mere survival\, becoming an internationally known icon of freedom\, hooting from the highest water towers. He claims all of New York City as his wild kingdom. \nThe remarkable story of Flaco raises some questions: is it right to keep a bird in a cage? Is there any real distinction between “zoo animals” and “wild animals”? How can we be better to our nonhuman neighbors? \nThis one of a kind owl’s epic song is sung in Wild Inside by a chorus of besotted New Yorkers – young and old\, bird-nerds and civilians\, many of them immigrants themselves – all of them reaching for a glimpse of the wild\, a glimmer of magic\, or even just someone to believe in. Everywhere Flaco goes\, he leaves that place and its people forever enchanted.

SUMMARY:PMA Films: Mary Oliver: Saved by the Beauty of the World
DESCRIPTION:Directed by Sasha Waters. 91 minutes. Not Rated. In English. \nIf poetry had a pop icon\, Mary Oliver would be it. Celebrated best-selling poet\, Pulitzer Prize-winner\, lover of dogs and long walks in the woods\, openly queer but intensely private\, Oliver was America’s unlikely contemporary mystic\, stalking the ponds and forests of Cape Cod for nearly fifty years in order to open herself – and her readers – to the known and unknowable world. From a lonely childhood to literary fame\, Oliver’s life was shaped by devotion to nature\, paying attention\, and the long journey toward learning to love and to be loved. Her poems inspire liberals and conservatives\, atheists and believers\, naturalists and urbanites\, speaking directly to contemporary anxieties about attention\, presence\, and the human relationship with the natural world – issues that feel especially pressing in an era of climate crisis\, digital distraction\, and social fragmentation. \nFeaturing interviews with her close friends\, including John Waters\, never-before-seen personal photos\, notebooks\, and correspondence from her archive\, and recitations of her work by Stephen Colbert\, Lucy Dacus\, Steve Buscemi\, and Oprah Winfrey\, Mary Oliver: Saved by the Beauty of the World considers the poet’s long lifetime of work in context\, capturing the uniqueness of her world and the natural beauty that inspired her.

SUMMARY:PMA Films: Late Fame
DESCRIPTION:Directed by Kent Jones. 96 minutes. Not Rated. In English. \nThe great Willem Dafoe lends his delicate gravitas to the role of Ed Saxberger\, a forgotten New York poet who works in the post office. After an eager and flattering young admirer (Edmund Donovan) appears on his doorstep\, Saxberger is beckoned into a coterie of twentysomething admirers who anoint him as a rediscovered genius. Intoxicated by the attention—and by the alluring presence of Gloria\, the group’s “tragic heroine” (a sinuous\, Kurt Weill-crooning Greta Lee)—Saxberger gradually reckons with the authenticity of his newfound poetic circle. This thoughtful\, witty second feature from Kent Jones (Diane)\, working from a sly and hugely entertaining script by Oscar-nominated screenwriter Samy Burch (May December)\, is a wistful yet unromantic look at a lost idea of downtown New York.

SUMMARY:PMA Films: Sherman's March (1985)
DESCRIPTION:Directed by Ross McElwee. 157 minutes. Not Rated. In English. \nCo-presented with SPACE Gallery\, who will screen McElwee’s new film\, Remake\, on September 9. \nArmed with a 16mm camera and a grant to make a documentary about the lingering aftermath of William Tecumseh Sherman’s 1864 march to the sea\, Ross McElwee gets sidetracked. After his girlfriend breaks up with him\, Ross shifts his attention from the historical to the personal\, to the battlefield of modern love\, and embarks on a sociological chronicle that documents the courting rites and rituals of the New South. A generous and humanistic portrait of several remarkable women that Ross meets along the way\, Sherman’s March sketches its characters with novelistic sensitivity: Pat\, an aspiring actress with a yen for Burt Reynolds; Claudia\, a roller-skating interior designer; Jackie\, the activist whose anti-nuclear advocacy dovetails with Ross’s deepest fears; and above all\, Charleen Swansea\, Ross’s mentor and a one-woman Greek chorus of unsolicited romantic counsel. A landmark of first-person filmmaking that presaged everything from Michael Moore to reality TV\, Sherman’s March is now available in a new 4K restoration.

SUMMARY:SOLD OUT | 2026 Judy Glickman Lauder Photography Lecture: Sally Mann
DESCRIPTION:12:00 p.m. (doors open at 11:30 a.m.) Bernard Osher Foundation Auditorium Join us for a rare opportunity to hear acclaimed artist and New York Times bestselling author Sally Mann share the challenges and transcendent pleasures of the creative process.  Art Work: On the Creative Life (Abrams Press\, 2025) is a candid\, provocative meditation on creativity. Illustrated with photographs\, journal entries\, and letters\, Art Work offers hard-won insight into the perils of early promise\, the caprice of luck\, the discipline of the work itself\, and the quiet courage required to say yes.  Mann will join Erin Hyde Nolan\, a photo historian who studies lens-based media and Visiting Assistant Professor of Art and Visual Culture at Bates College\, for a conversation exploring the ideas at the heart of the book.   Art Work: On the Creative Life is available for purchase in the PMA Store. Members receive 10% off. Sally will be available for signing after the lecture.   Sally Mann (born in Lexington\, Virginia\, 1951) is one of America’s most renowned photographers. She has received numerous awards\, including NEA\, NEH\, and Guggenheim Foundation grants\, and her work is held by major institutions internationally. Her many books include At Twelve (1988)\, Immediate Family (1992)\, Still Time (1994)\, What Remains (2003)\, Deep South (2005)\, Proud Flesh (2009)\, The Flesh and the Spirit (2010)\, Remembered Light (2016) and A Thousand Crossings ( 2018). In 2001 Mann was named “America’s Best Photographer” by Time magazine. A 1994 documentary about her work\, Blood Ties\, was nominated for an Academy Award and the 2006 feature film What Remains was nominated for an Emmy Award in 2008. Her bestselling memoir\, Hold Still (Little\, Brown\, 2015)\, received universal critical acclaim\, was named a finalist for the National Book Award and won the Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Nonfiction. In March 2018\, Sally Mann: A Thousand Crossings\, opened at the National Gallery of Art in Washington\, DC and traveled until 2020. This comprehensive exploration of Mann’s relationship with the South garnered overwhelmingly positive reviews and record-breaking attendance.  In 2021 Mann received the Prix Pictet\, the global award in photography and sustainability for her series Blackwater (2008–2012). In 2022 she was inducted into the American Academy of Art and Sciences and in 2025 Mann published another best-selling book\, Art Work: On the Creative Life (Abrams)\, which garnered unanimous praise. Mann is represented by Gagosian\, New York. She lives and works in Lexington\, Virginia.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Judy Glickman Lauder Lecture Each year\, the Portland Museum of Art welcomes leading artists\, scholars\, and voices in photography for the Judy Glickman Lauder Lecture\, one of the museum’s marquee annual events. The lecture offers in-depth insight into the people\, perspectives\, and culture shaping the field of photography. Judy Glickman Lauder is internationally known as an acclaimed photographer\, collector\, humanitarian\, advocate\, philanthropist\, and community builder. Her life’s work\, whether through her art\, her generosity\, or her collecting\, is defined by a deep appreciation for life and all its intricacies. This fascination with humanity\, and the nuances and complexities therein\, encompasses all her creative and spiritual endeavors\, and has led her across the world in the pursuit of connecting people to one another. Erin Hyde Nolan (Ph.D.\, Boston University) is a Visiting Assistant Professor at Bates College. She studies the circulation of lens-based media and visual culture from the modern Mediterranean and Atlantic worlds. Her monograph-in-progress\, Portrait Atlas: The Migration of Photographs Across the Ottoman-Atlantic\, demonstrates the ways in which photographs from the Islamic world cross-pollinate trans-Atlantic geographies. She is also the co-author\, with Sophie Junge\, of Survey Practices and Landscape Photography Across the Globe (Routledge\, 2022)\, and has published in the Routledge Companion to Art and Formation of Empire\, Trans-Asia Photography\, Ars Orientalis\, Reading Objects in the Contact-Zone\, and Fotogeschichte. Her scholarship has been supported by the Aga Khan Program for Islamic Architecture at Harvard University\, Getty Research Institute\, Terra Foundation for American Art\, Kunsthistorisches Institut-Florenz\, Max-Planck Society\, and Historians of Islamic Art Association.

SUMMARY:PMA Films: Late Fame
DESCRIPTION:Directed by Kent Jones. 96 minutes. Not Rated. In English. \nThe great Willem Dafoe lends his delicate gravitas to the role of Ed Saxberger\, a forgotten New York poet who works in the post office. After an eager and flattering young admirer (Edmund Donovan) appears on his doorstep\, Saxberger is beckoned into a coterie of twentysomething admirers who anoint him as a rediscovered genius. Intoxicated by the attention—and by the alluring presence of Gloria\, the group’s “tragic heroine” (a sinuous\, Kurt Weill-crooning Greta Lee)—Saxberger gradually reckons with the authenticity of his newfound poetic circle. This thoughtful\, witty second feature from Kent Jones (Diane)\, working from a sly and hugely entertaining script by Oscar-nominated screenwriter Samy Burch (May December)\, is a wistful yet unromantic look at a lost idea of downtown New York.

SUMMARY:PMA Films: Sherman's March (1985)
DESCRIPTION:Directed by Ross McElwee. 157 minutes. Not Rated. In English. \nCo-presented with SPACE Gallery\, who will screen McElwee’s new film\, Remake\, on September 9. \nArmed with a 16mm camera and a grant to make a documentary about the lingering aftermath of William Tecumseh Sherman’s 1864 march to the sea\, Ross McElwee gets sidetracked. After his girlfriend breaks up with him\, Ross shifts his attention from the historical to the personal\, to the battlefield of modern love\, and embarks on a sociological chronicle that documents the courting rites and rituals of the New South. A generous and humanistic portrait of several remarkable women that Ross meets along the way\, Sherman’s March sketches its characters with novelistic sensitivity: Pat\, an aspiring actress with a yen for Burt Reynolds; Claudia\, a roller-skating interior designer; Jackie\, the activist whose anti-nuclear advocacy dovetails with Ross’s deepest fears; and above all\, Charleen Swansea\, Ross’s mentor and a one-woman Greek chorus of unsolicited romantic counsel. A landmark of first-person filmmaking that presaged everything from Michael Moore to reality TV\, Sherman’s March is now available in a new 4K restoration.

SUMMARY:PMA Films: Mary Oliver: Saved by the Beauty of the World
DESCRIPTION:Directed by Sasha Waters. 91 minutes. Not Rated. In English. \nIf poetry had a pop icon\, Mary Oliver would be it. Celebrated best-selling poet\, Pulitzer Prize-winner\, lover of dogs and long walks in the woods\, openly queer but intensely private\, Oliver was America’s unlikely contemporary mystic\, stalking the ponds and forests of Cape Cod for nearly fifty years in order to open herself – and her readers – to the known and unknowable world. From a lonely childhood to literary fame\, Oliver’s life was shaped by devotion to nature\, paying attention\, and the long journey toward learning to love and to be loved. Her poems inspire liberals and conservatives\, atheists and believers\, naturalists and urbanites\, speaking directly to contemporary anxieties about attention\, presence\, and the human relationship with the natural world – issues that feel especially pressing in an era of climate crisis\, digital distraction\, and social fragmentation. \nFeaturing interviews with her close friends\, including John Waters\, never-before-seen personal photos\, notebooks\, and correspondence from her archive\, and recitations of her work by Stephen Colbert\, Lucy Dacus\, Steve Buscemi\, and Oprah Winfrey\, Mary Oliver: Saved by the Beauty of the World considers the poet’s long lifetime of work in context\, capturing the uniqueness of her world and the natural beauty that inspired her.

SUMMARY:PMA Films: "Eve Biddle Selects": Blazing Saddles (1974)
DESCRIPTION:Directed by Mel Brooks. 93 minutes. Rated R. In English. \nScreens as part of “Eve Biddle Selects: Beautiful People Doing Impossible Things\,” a companion to the exhibition “Eve Biddle: Wonderlands.” \nRibald\, tasteless and hilarious … this classic spoof of the Western genre by director Mel Brooks pokes fun at everyone and everything. A corrupt governor grants a reprieve to an African American convict if the condemned man agrees to serve as sheriff of a small Western town\, believing that new sheriff will only live long enough to serve the needs of the governor and his nefarious railroad-baron backer. Academy Award nominations for Best Actress in a Supporting Role (Madeline Kahn); Best Music\, Original Song; and Best Film Editing. \nBeautiful People Doing Impossible Things \nI watch movies to be transported to another world. Because I play with scale and color in my art practice\, I think a lot about how my images are kind of impossible. No human has a hand 24 inches long. No landscape is cyan blue. These images exist in a kind of Wonderland of my own imagining — much like the fantastical plots of the movies in this series. \nEach feature is paired with a short film by my partner\, Joshua Frankel — another beautiful person doing impossible things. \n—Eve Biddle \nBlazing Saddles paired with  \nJoshua Frankel’s Bicycle Messengers (2006\, 5 minutes) \nThe fastest gun in the west and the fastest way to get crosstown. \nFor Frankel’s first short film\, he captured consumer DV footage of Midtown Manhattan and animated bicycle messengers weaving between live action traffic. \nThis work was created amidst a cultural moment centering bicycles in the early 2000’s\, including film\, fashion\, alleycat races\, underground modified bicycle jousting\, and activism that ultimately lead to the proliferation of bike lanes in American cities.  \nBlazing Saddles is also art that changed history. Some say its satire cut so deep that after its release\, Hollywood never made a Western genre film in its classic style — with rose-tinted lenses — ever again. \nRevolution has never been more side-splittingly funny. \nSaddle up!

SUMMARY:[At SPACE Gallery] PMA Films: Remake
DESCRIPTION:Directed by Ross McElwee. 116 minutes. Not Rated. In English. \nScreening at SPACE Gallery and co-presented with SPACE Gallery. \nFilmmaker Ross McElwee has spent forty years recording himself and his family\, creating documentaries that chronicle the shifting contours of American society through the lens of personal history. His son Adrian grew up inside those films\, and eventually began experimenting with the camera himself. When a Hollywood producer acquires the rights to adapt McElwee’s 1986 breakthrough Sherman’s March into a work of fiction\, twenty-year-old Adrian sees a chance for his father to finally reach a wider audience. As the adaptation stalls\, Adrian gets swept into a deepening drug addiction and dies from a fentanyl overdose\, leaving behind hours of personal video footage. Retracing Adrian’s final years\, McElwee reckons with what his camera captured and what remained hauntingly out of frame. As he reflects on a lifetime behind the camera\, Ross’s own effort to remix and remake the movie that Adrian never got to finish takes on new significance. An ever-expanding hall of mirrors built from decades of home movies\, Remake is both McElwee’s attempt to hold onto his son\, and to let him go.

SUMMARY:PMA Films: Late Fame
DESCRIPTION:Directed by Kent Jones. 96 minutes. Not Rated. In English. \nThe great Willem Dafoe lends his delicate gravitas to the role of Ed Saxberger\, a forgotten New York poet who works in the post office. After an eager and flattering young admirer (Edmund Donovan) appears on his doorstep\, Saxberger is beckoned into a coterie of twentysomething admirers who anoint him as a rediscovered genius. Intoxicated by the attention—and by the alluring presence of Gloria\, the group’s “tragic heroine” (a sinuous\, Kurt Weill-crooning Greta Lee)—Saxberger gradually reckons with the authenticity of his newfound poetic circle. This thoughtful\, witty second feature from Kent Jones (Diane)\, working from a sly and hugely entertaining script by Oscar-nominated screenwriter Samy Burch (May December)\, is a wistful yet unromantic look at a lost idea of downtown New York.
