Birds of Passage

View Screenings

Film Description:

Birds of Passage is an epic exploration of the clash between tradition and the pursuit of wealth, embodied in one family’s confrontation with the outside world. 

From the Oscar®-nominated team behind the genre-defying “Embrace of the Serpent” comes an equally audacious saga centered on the Wayúu indigenous people during a crucial period in recent Colombian history. Torn between his desire to become a powerful man and his duty to uphold his culture's values, Rapayet (José Acosta) enters the drug trafficking business in the 1970s and finds quick success despite matriarch Ursula's (Carmiña Martínez) disapproval. Ignoring ancient omens, Rapayet and his family get caught up in a conflict where honor is the highest currency and debts are paid with blood.   [2019, Colombia, 125 minutes, in Wayúu and Spanish with English subtitles, Not Rated].

David Fear of Rolling Stone describes the film as, “Stunning, sumptuous…part anthropological study, part rise-and-fall epic and all-out mesmerizing.” Peter Debruge of Variety.com singles out the conflict at the center of the story, “Few films have captured quite so powerfully the tension between the old and new worlds — a feat Birds of Passage accomplishes while simultaneously allowing audiences to channel the Wayúu’s surrealistic view of their surroundings, where spirits walk the earth, and wise women interpret their dreams.”

Saint Judy

View Screenings

Film Description:

Saint Judy is about a determined lawyer whose tireless efforts to save one of her clients ends up changing the country. If RBG inspired you to make the world a better place, you must see this film.  Saint Judy tells the true story of Los Angeles immigration attorney Judy Wood, who single-handedly overturned the United States law of asylum and saved countless lives in the process. In a landmark case—one of her first as an immigration lawyer—she represented an Afghan woman who fled her home country after being persecuted by the Taliban for opening a school for girls. After a ferocious battle both in and out of court, Judy's work culminated in arguments before the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, where she fought to include women as a protected class. [2019, US, 107 minutes, Rated: PG-13].

Stephen Farber of TheHollywoodReporter.com takes special note of Michelle Monaghan as Judy Wood: “her modest, energetic performance makes Saint Judy…engaging and moving.” Tiffany Tchobanian of FilmThreat.com adds, “This timely and inspiring film instills faith in justice and human decency.”  

Please note that tickets are non-refundable and may not be exchanged for other screening dates/times or film title.

Apollo 11

View Screenings

Film Description:

Apollo 11  is one of the greatest events in human history like you’ve never seen it before!

From director Todd Douglas Miller (Dinosaur 13) comes a cinematic event fifty years in the making. Crafted from a newly discovered trove of 65mm footage, and more than 11,000 hours of uncatalogued audio recordings, Apollo 11 takes us straight to the heart of NASA’s most celebrated mission—the one that first put men on the moon, and forever made Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin into household names. Immersed in the perspectives of the astronauts, the team in Mission Control, and the millions of spectators on the ground, we vividly experience those momentous days and hours in 1969 when humankind took a giant leap into the future. [2019, US, 93 minutes, Rated: G].

Matt Zoller Seitz of RogerEbert.com puts the film in a category all by itself: “’Apollo 11’ isn't like other documentaries about the first moon mission. In fact, it isn't like most other movies, period. It's magnificent and unique, an adrenaline shot of wonder and skill.” “Entirely awe-inspiring,” adds Glenn Kenny of The New York Times.

Please note that tickets are non-refundable and may not be exchanged for other screening dates/times or film title.
