The Yale Film Archive was recently awarded a grant from the National Film Preservation Foundation to support preservation of Roger Tilton’s film Shades (1960), produced with undergraduate film students at the City College of New York’s Institute of Film Techniques and featuring staff and inmates at what was then known as the New York City Correctional Institution for Men, on Rikers Island.
The Yale Film Archive announces a new slate of films for the fall of 2023, all free and open to the public. Screenings take place in the recently-constructed cinema spaces in the Yale Humanities Quadrangle, located at 320 York Street, between Elm and Grove in New Haven.

The Yale Film Archive is pleased to announce that filmmaker James Ivory has donated his personal collection of more than twenty 35mm and 16mm prints. The James Ivory Collection includes films Ivory directed and produced between the 1960s and 2000s, as well as films by his partner Ismail Merchant and others. We are grateful to Mr. Ivory for his generosity, and we look forward to screening these prints for audiences in the near future!
Autobiography of a Princess (James Ivory, 1975, 35mm, 58 mins)
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (Ang Lee, 2000, 120 mins)
Lee’s sumptuous wuxia epic broke records at the Oscars and the box office, taking audiences to a near-mythic China where bandits and warriors seek a fabled stolen sword. Michelle Yeoh, Chow Yun-fat, Zhang Ziyi, and Chang Chen star in what’s been called “soaring and romantic, wild and serene, feminist and gutsy” (Lisa Schwarzbaum). In Mandarin with English subtitles. 35mm print from the Yale Film Archive.
Time/Date:
7 p.m. Thursday, July 20
Eight Men Out (John Sayles, 1988, 119 mins)
John Sayles in person! Based on the true story of the 1919 "Black Sox" scandal, Sayles's indie drama shows the best team in baseball playing dirty when low-balled by the boss and bribed by gangsters. Called "essential moviegoing" by Peter Travers, Eight Men Out's all-star ensemble includes John Cusack, John Mahoney, Clifton James, Charlie Sheen, David Strathairn, and Christopher Lloyd. 35mm print from the Yale Film Archive.
Time/Date:
