Oscar Micheaux is a legend. But his name and fandom — including Spike Lee and the late John Singleton —  are better known than his groundbreaking films. Film Forum’s festival opening Friday, May 3 aims to fix that. The lineup is unprecedented. indiewire.com/features/gener…

Ryusuke Hamaguchi's EVIL DOES NOT EXIST concerns the conflict between a rural community and the encroachment of a talent agency’s plan to build a glamping site. Haunting and meditative, EVIL opens tomorrow 5/3!
