Drama, Dir. Emmanuelle Bercot, 2005

"In a world relentlessly tuned in to “American Idol” and the daily lives of the TomKats and Bennifers, the universal obsession with celebrity can cross the line into fanaticism. In keeping with the times, Emmanuelle Bercot’s stunning feature directorial debut explores the psyches of both the star and her adoring fan to reveal a troubling view on the world of celebrity worship and the complicating trappings of fame."

When I'm 64
Drama, Dir. Jon Jones, 2004
Screens: Monday, October 2nd at 7:15pm
"Ray (Paul Freeman, Raiders of the Lost Ark) is a working-class cabbie, widower, and grandfather who's still up for the occasional rumble at the pub. Jim, or "Beaky" (Alun Armstrong) has spent decades working at the cloistered public school where he took his education, and has flights of fancy about falling in love with the right man and going on safari in Tanzania. So why are they spending so much time together? As the two lads confront retirement, they find themselves taking a path that surprises everyone around them, particularly themselves. Fans of Beautiful Thing will cheer for this tender, well-acted, and lovably light drama." [info] [tickets]
