Look Into My Eyes

media release: USA | 2024 | DCP | 104 min.

Director: Lana Wilson

Sit in with seven psychics as they conduct intimate readings for their fellow New Yorkers in this fascinating documentary. Acclaimed filmmaker Lana Wilson takes us all the way behind the curtain, following the clairvoyants home and probing their individual personalities. Refreshingly uncynical, Look Into My Eyes mirrors the compassionate openness of its subjects, all of whom seek unknowable answers to life’s largest questions. Whether or not you personally believe in the authenticity of the readings becomes beside the point, as Look Into My Eyes convinces us that, either way, these people have something very real and profound to offer their clients.

The Premieres series returns with more early and exclusive looks at the very best in current arthouse cinema! This fall kicks off with Sebastian Stan in A Different Man, one of the best films from this year’s Sundance Film Festival, screening at the Cinematheque nearly a month before it hits theaters. For a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience, don’t miss Eno, a documentary portrait about the iconic musician which is digitally reconfigured every time it screens—the version you’ll see here on October 10 will never be shown again. Plus: wild new entertainments by boundary-pushing favorites Don Hertzfeldt, Harmony Korine, and Quentin Dupieux; equally adventurous and riveting nonfiction works by Mati Diop and Johan Grimonprez, and much more! This series was made possible by a generous donation from an anonymous cinephile.
