Greetings, Cinemapolitans!

You're probably getting tired of hearing this, but more award-winning films are about to arrive on our screens this Friday:
  • Julianne Moore received the Best Actress Award at Cannes for her performance in Maps to the Stars, the latest dark and twisted tale from Canadian film legend David Cronenberg (A History of Violence, Cosmopolis). In a polar opposite from her Academy Award winning performance in Still Alice, Moore plays Havana Segrand, a Hollywood actress trying desperately to crawl from behind the shadow of her iconic film star mother. At times a caustic and always pointed critique of Hollywood, Maps to the Stars is summed up best by Robbie Collin of the The Telegraph: "There’s so much in this seething cauldron of a film, so many film-industry neuroses exposed and horrors nested within horrors, that one viewing is too much, and not nearly enough. Cronenberg has made a film that you want to unsee – and then see and unsee again." 

  • Iranian-American auteur Ana Lily Amirpour won the breakthrough director award at last year's Gotham awards for A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night - without a doubt the FIRST Iranian Vampire Western ever made. This mash-up of American popular culture and Iranian social structure was a smash hit at last year's Ithaca International Fantastic Film Festival, and it now returns for a SPECIAL LIMITED ENGAGEMENT, so catch it while you can. 

    As a special treat, on Sunday, March 1st, a 7 pm screening of A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night sponsored by our friends at the Finger Lakes Environmental Film Festival (FLEFF) will feature a post screening discussion moderated by Timothy Murray, Director, Society for the Humanities, Cornell University, with Matthew Holtmeier, Postdoctoral Teaching Fellow in Screen Studies, Ithaca College, and Chelsea Wessels, Film, Cornell University. If you're among the first 75 people there, your ticket is FREE thanks to FLEFF. 

Also on March 1st, we're happy to host Opera Ithaca and Ithaca Shakespeare Company, as they collaborate to present a preview of the upcoming production of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. At 2:00pm, the groups will present Dreaming Of Summer: Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream In Cinema, Song, And Speech, featuring selections from the opera Il Sogno, scenes from the play read by Ithaca Shakespeare Company actors and a showing of the 1909 silent film A Midsummer Night’s Dream by film-maker Charles Kent. Tickets for this multi-media experience are just $5 and are available in advance online


Then looking ahead to NEXT Thursday, March 5th, we welcome back local filmmaker Ira McKinley, fresh from a whirlwind American tour promoting The Throwaways, his provocative and, sadly, increasingly timely look at the impact of mass incarceration and police brutality on black males in America. The film starts at 7 PM, and Ira will be on hand for a post show discussion. 

Awards season is winding down, folks, and we must say farewell to Wild and Two Days, One Night. They both leave on Thursday...


See you at the movies!
