Just caught a showing of “Fatherland” www.imdb.com/title/tt3730... courtesy of the IFFBoston iffboston.org/series/fall-... at the Brattle @brattletheatre.bsky.social

At once a period piece, a rumination on family dynamics, and a look back (and forward? ) — excellent film.

The Brattle is celebrating its 25th anniversary as a non-profit in 2026 and we're diving into our history with "Foundation Fridays". This week, we look back to 2001 when The Brattle Film Foundation was founded and gave the cinema a much needed face lift.

Fablecore and More begins Wed, Oct 14. Check out the lineup, watch trailers & get tickets at brattlefilm.org/film-series/...

@brattletheatre.bsky.social Oct 9, 2026, 6:01 PM

Often dealing with gender identity and/or sexual politics, these “Fablecore” films have a handmade feeling and are rooted in storytelling traditions—playfully recontextualizing fantasy tropes with a quirky, idiosyncratic gaze.

@brattletheatre.bsky.social Oct 9, 2026, 6:01 PM

Next Week • The past few years have seen a surge in a certain kind of indie film made by young filmmakers who use fairy tale frameworks to tell DIY stories that reflect our own world in different ways.

We’ve gathered some of our favorite examples—including the never before theatrically screened in Boston 100 NIGHTS OF HERO—and we present them alongside some of the clear progenitors and earlier examples of this aesthetic.
