The first of this month’s two Volunteer of the Month programming picks comes to us from Alexis, who has selected director Jacques Demy’s whimsical, dreamlike 1970 fantasy Donkey Skin.

Take flight with Robert Altman’s surreal fantasy Brewster McCloud, kicking off our three film tribute to beloved character actor Bud Cort! 

Brewster (Cort) is an owlish, intellectual boy who lives in a fallout shelter of the Houston Astrodome. He has a dream: to take flight within the confines of the stadium. Brewster tells those he trusts of his dream, but displays a unique way of treating others who do not fit within his plans. While a young tour guide befriends Brewster and tries to get to know him better, the Houston police struggle to solve a sudden rash of strangulation murders.

A quirky comedy with a pronounced dark streak, Brewster McCloud is one of Altman’s most delightfully strange films, often forgotten amongst his myriad of filmic masterpieces. You know how people say “they don’t make ’em like this anymore”? Well, they really don’t make ’em like this anymore. 

Our Remembering Donald Sutherland series continues with Alan J. Pakula’s gripping neo-noir Klute!

Remembering Shelley Duvall, our tribute to the late great actress, ends with 3 Women, Robert Altman’s 1977 psychological drama.
