Guillermo del Toro (Pan's Labyrinth, Hellboy) produced Juan Antonio Bayona's eerie tale of a woman (Belén Rueda) and her family who return to the orphanage where she was raised—only to find that it has a dangerous secret past. Spain's candidate for Academy Award for Best Foreign Film, The Orphanage was described as "the only horror film in recent memory that brought me to tears" by critic Jim Emerson and "meticulously crafted and powerfully atmospheric" by Cinematical.

	Saturday, December 1 3:00 p.m. ALL THAT HEAVEN ALLOWS GLORIOUS TECHNICOLOR! 1955, 89mins. Universal. 35mm. Douglas Sirk's classic melodrama about a widow (Jane Wyman) who falls in love with a younger (and lower-class) man (Rock Hudson) was remade by both Rainer Werner Fassbinder and Todd Haynes. Sirk used color like music to shape our reaction to the drama, achieving a fully operatic approach. 6:00 p.m. THE GANG'S ALL HERE GLORIOUS TECHNICOLOR! 1943, 103 mins. 20th Century Fox. 35mm IB Tech print. Carmen Miranda stars in Busby Berkeley's stunning musical, which pushes Technicolor to new hallucinatory heights in one of the most visually excessive films in Hollywood's history.
	Sunday, December 2 2:00 p.m. VERTIGO GLORIOUS TECHNICOLOR! 1958, 128 mins. Paramount. 35mm IB Tech print. With James Stewart, Kim Novak. This masterpiece about a retired detective (James Stewart) obsessed with a past love (Kim Novak) is Hitchcock's crowning achievement in the subjective use of color. It exemplifies the late 1950s experiments in Technicolor without sacrificing surface beauty and polish. 5:00 p.m. APOCALYPSE NOW REDUX GLORIOUS TECHNICOLOR! 1979/2002, 202 mins. United Artists. 35mm IB print from The Museum of Modern Art. For this 2001 edition of his Vietnam-era adaption of Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness, Francis Ford Coppola used a new version of the dye-transfer process. A few prints were mechanically dyed in order to lend Vittorio Storaro's cinematography a new depth, saturation, and lushness.
