What’s New on Kino Film Collection in September 2026
Amrum
Six titles land on Kino Film Collection this September, spanning nearly a century of storytelling. A woman's psyche unravels after a reckless plunge in an Argentine drama, while the documentary Tell Them You Love Me revisits a disability-rights case that divided the country. For something lighter, three lifelong friends take a cross-country detour with an urn of ashes in Bonneville, and 15 would-be heirs race through a gloriously absurd scavenger hunt in the 1979 ensemble comedy of the same name.
The month's centerpiece is Mary Oliver: Saved by the Beauty of the World on September 22, an intimate portrait of the beloved poet featuring readings by Oprah Winfrey, Stephen Colbert, and John Waters.

Scavenger Hunt
Michael Schultz | Comedy | 1979
It’s a mad, mad mob of maniacs in a wild and hilarious $200,000,000 winner-takes-all Scavenger Hunt! The nutty and newly-departed millionaire’s will was specific: his fifteen would-be heirs are to participate in a highly-unusual Scavenger Hunt and whoever finds all the items first, wins his entire estate! Richard Benjamin (Catch-22), James Coco (Murder by Death), Scatman Crothers (Silver Streak), Ruth Gordon (Where’s Poppa), Cloris Leachman (High Anxiety), Cleavon Little (Blazing Saddles), Roddy McDowell (Fright Night), Robert Morley (Topkapi), Richard Mulligan (A Fine Mess), Tony Randall (The Odd Couple), Vincent Price (Madhouse), Meat Loaf (Fight Club) and Arnold Schwarzenegger (The Terminator) portray only a few of the wonderful and zany characters who fight each other for the biggest stakes ever… and it’s a mad dash through the San Diego Zoo and through the streets of Hollywood to find everything from an ostrich to a commode.

Mary Oliver: Saved by the Beauty of the World
Sasha Waters | Documentary | 2026
If poetry had a pop icon, Mary Oliver would be it. Celebrated best-selling poet, Pulitzer Prize-winner, lover of dogs and long walks in the woods, openly queer but intensely private, Oliver was America’s unlikely contemporary mystic, stalking the ponds and forests of Cape Cod for nearly fifty years in order to open herself – and her readers – to the known and unknowable world.
Featuring interviews with her close friends, including John Waters, never-before-seen personal photos, notebooks, and correspondence from her archive, and recitations of her work by Stephen Colbert, Lucy Dacus, Steve Buscemi, and Oprah Winfrey, Mary Oliver: Saved by the Beauty of the World considers the poet’s long lifetime of work in context, capturing the uniqueness of her world and the natural beauty that inspired her.

Moana with Sound
Robert Flaherty, Frances Flaherty, Monica Flaherty | Documentary | 1924
In 1924, documentary film pioneers Robert and Frances Flaherty and family traveled to the Samoan island of Savaii to record the native life and make a film that would try to match the success of Nanook of the North. Restored in 2K with native sounds and traditional songs that Flahertys' daughter recorded over a half-century after they shot it, Monica Flaherty's Moana with Sound is a beautiful work of docufiction and an important piece of film history.
