Ithaca's Member Supported Independent Movie Theater |
| Showtimes & Openings May 15 - May 21 |
|
| ALL SHOWTIMES BELOW VALID BEGINNING FRIDAY, MAY 15 |
| | Greetings Cinemapolitans!
In addition to a bunch of special one-time screenings coming up in the next week, we have one new film opening on Friday:
- Winner of best Canadian feature at the Toronto International Film Festival, Felix and Meira tracks a tender and unlikely romance between an Orthodox Jewish housewife and a secular single man in contemporary Montreal. Quebecois writer-director Maxime Giroux lets the subtle performances from his leads tell the star-crossed tale. David Ehrlich of Time Out New York calls it "a somber romance that's as much about the cultural confluence of city life as it is about the unlikely couple who manage to find each other in it...[it] captures the dislocating loneliness of "Lost in Translation" without leaving its characters' native Montreal."
|
| | Special events begin on Friday, with a screening and discussion of the documentary MOOG at 5 pm, as part of the culmination of the year-long Robert Moog exhibit at the History Center.
Later that night, the Fantastic Film Friday series returns at 9:30 pm with the brilliantly twisted Spanish hit, Shrew's Nest. Hugues from the Ithaca International Fantastic Film Fest snatched this one up before it even got US distribution, so this may be your only chance to see it!
|
| | Looking ahead to later in the week, Tuesday brings a one-shot screening of the new documentary Occupy the Farm. It tells the story of a community's fight to save public land for urban farming. 200 farmers marched to the gates of the last farmland in the urban East Bay near Oakland, carrying tents, tools and 15,000 seedlings. From tilling soil and watering vegetables to police raids, from lawsuits to overflowing harvests, OCCUPY THE FARM reveals a resourceful, creative, and determined community responding with direct action to a serious social need: access to healthy food. The 7 pm screening will be followed by a talk-back with local experts.
|
| | Then on Thursday, May 21st, acclaimed playwright Tom Stoppard returns to the National Theatre with his highly-anticipated new play The Hard Problem. Directed by Nicholas Hytner (One Man, Two Guvnors), the play follows Hilary, a young psychology researcher at a brain-science institute, who’s nursing a private sorrow and a troubling question at work, where psychology and biology meet. Called “Stimulating. Absorbing. A rich, ideas-packed work,” the National Theatre Live presentation of The Hard Problem screens on Thursday, May 21st at 6:30 pm and again on Saturday, May 23rd at 1:30 pm.
While you plan your next week at the movies, plan to catch Maggie soon, its one-week engagement ends on Thursday (May 14).
