As the year draws to an end, we are turning our gaze toward things to come, with an international, intergalactic program of Afrofuturist visions of Black creativity, resistance, and freedom. That's just the beginning of our holiday bounty: we've also got the greatest hits of Mae West, the pioneering auteur of sexual comedy who incensed the censors, wrote her own scripts, and chose her leading men—including a young Cary Grant, whose dapper charms and gift for pratfalls are on display in a selection of his most beloved comedies. Plus there's director spotlights on Julie Dash, Terrence Malick, and Barbra Streisand; streaming premieres of Ken Loach's acclaimed Sorry We Missed You and Mariano Llinás's bingeable episodic epic La flor; and more.
