When Metrograph opened its doors in 2016, we did so with Welcome to Metrograph: A to Z, a way to introduce moviegoers to our particular take on cinema history. Now that our booklet is back, we have relaunched A to Z. Every four months, a new programmer will create their own idiosyncratic alphabet: one film per letter, neither canon nor anti-canon, but rather a selection of favorite films that serve as life-changing revelations or enduring personal passions, and ultimately films of which Metrograph exists to spread the gospel. Starting this summer, Programmer Lydia Ogwang takes us from A-M, including stops at Carl Franklin’s Devil in a Blue Dress, Lucrecia Martel’s The Headless Woman, and Bill Gunn’s Ganja & Hess.
