Wladyslaw Strzeminski. Boguslaw Linda embodies the aging artist who struggles against the rising tide of Communist censorship, inspires awe and devotion in his students, and has an almost hostile relationship with his young daughter. Hes simultaneously charismatic, sympathetic and maddening. Deliberately paced, bleak and a touch repetitive, Afterimages is a swan song from one of the greats, who, much like his subject, leaves viewers with a treatise on how to look at the world. May 2. 4, Pacific Place 3 3. May 2. 6, Uptown Brent Mc. KnightAfter the Storm   Japanese filmmaker Hirozaku Kore edas gentle, quietly profound films Our Little Sister, I Wish, Like Father, Like Son, are of a piece domestic tales of families and children, in which the camera and its extension, us becomes another member of the clan. Here, a divorced father struggling to get his life on track Its not that easy growing up to be the man you want to be, he muses finds himself unexpectedly reconnected with his family after a storm forces them together. Quiet revelations and fleeting poetry a lottery ticket, were reminded, is a piece of a dream pleasingly ensue. Kore eda is scheduled to attend both screenings. May 1. 9, Uptown 4 p. May 2. 0, Egyptian Moira MacdonaldBackpack Full of Cash   The debate over the increasing privatization of public education in America is the divisive, hot button topic at the center of Sarah Mondales documentary. Narrated by Matt Damon, the film explores the rise of charter schools, vouchers, online programs and other for profit models growing educational inequality, especially in urban areas and the devastating impact it has on the poorest, most at risk students. Occasionally repetitive and sloppy, a fiery passion shines through to highlight this vital, complex, difficult to address topic. Mondale is scheduled to attend the screenings on June 6 and June 7. May 1. 9, Uptown 7 p. June 6, Pacific Place 4 3. June 7, Pacific Place B. M. Becoming Who I Was   As playfully time oriented as its title, Becoming Who I Was makes reincarnation a central part of its story about a journey through more than one life. Whether you buy it depends largely on your feelings about karma and related ideas that can sound like child abuse in this context. While the child hero grows up on screen, his teacher has a creepy weakness for death defying ritual. Director Jin Jeon will attend the screenings at 7 p. May 2. 4 at the Majestic Bay and 4 3. May 2. 5 at Pacific Place. The film plays again at 6 3. June 1 at Shoreline Community College. J. H. The Bloom of Yesterday  A Holocaust research rom com may sound like a non starter but after several swerving left turns, this German film finds and almost holds its center. A meltdown prone historian Lars Eidinger is demoted as organizer of a conference on Auschwitz and saddled with an equally volatile young female intern Adle Haenel. Together they try to persuade a skeptical Auschwitz surviving actress a scathingly tart Sigrid Marquardt to participate in the event. Result a savage yet wacky look at who gets to wield a moral cudgel. May 2. 2 and 4 p. May 2. 5, SIFF Cinema Uptown 6 3. May 2. 4, Lincoln Square Michael Upchurch Chavela   In concert, she would walk out from the wings and spread her arms wide, like a dove, said an admirer, as if embracing the audience. This tuneful portrait of Chavela Vargas, born singing in 1. Costa Rica, admiringly explores her impact on the world of Mexican music as an out lesbian wait until you hear who she says she woke up with after Elizabeth Taylors wedding, a charismatic figure and a great artist whose burnished voice always sounded as if shed been torn apart. Director Catherine Gund is scheduled to attend the May 1. May 1. 9, Uptown 1. May 2. 0, Pacific Place M. M. Entanglement   After a post divorce suicide attempt, sad sack Ben Thomas Middleditch of Silicon Valley goes on a quest to find the sister his parents almost adopted. He also has arguments with his skeptical bathroom mirror reflection and fends off the attentions of a nosy neighbor whos obviously smitten with him. The script isnt great, but the plot turns and visuals can be striking, and Jess Weixler has fun as the bad girl sister Ben finds. Director Jason James is scheduled to attend the May 1. May 1. 9, Majestic Bay Cinemas 2 p. May 2. 0, SIFF Cinema Uptown 9 1. May 2. 4, Lincoln Square M. U. Ethel Ernest   Suggesting a matchup between Archie Bunker and Gracie Allen, Ethel Ernest is a sweet British memoircartoon about an ordinary couple who survive the Blitz along with their growing son. Mother voiced by Brenda Blethyn daftly thanks Hitler for bringing Mein Kampf to their shores, while Dad Jim Broadbent is shocked that their boy prefers art school to an office job. The three of them get by in spite of their cluelessness. The dry, quirky script is based on a graphic novel by Raymond Briggs.
