JUDY GARLAND: MOMENTS OF MAGIC(NR) 75min 12:30pm FREE
In association with Acadia Senior College, music producer and critic Lawrence Schulman will examine Judy Garland’s life and career in a talk whose purpose will be to answer the question: “If I had just one hour to convince you of Judy Garland’s place in classic American popular music, what film and television performances would I choose?” Garland was more than a mere entertainer, she was important to American cultural history, and the tabloid tumult of her short life should not overshadow an artistry of exceptional value. The talk will be followed by the projection of the 1944 film MEET ME IN ST. LOUIS.
MEET ME IN ST LOUIS 1944 (NR) 113min 2pm FREE
In association with Acadia Senior College and the talk by Lawrence Schulman about Judy Garland.
A year in the life of the Smith family at the time of the 1904 Saint Louis world’s fair. Starring Judy Garland, Margaret O’Brien, Mary Astor, Lucille Bremer, Tom Drake, Marjorie Main, Leon Ames, Harry Davenport, June Lockhart, Henry H. Daniels Jr., Joan Carroll, Hugh Marlowe, Robert Sully, Chill Wills. Words and music by Hugh Martin and Ralph Blane. Directed by Vincente Minnelli. Nominated for four Academy Awards. Songs include: “The Boy Next Door,” “The Trolley Song,” “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.”
Fri Mar 29 - Thurs Apr 4
OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL (PG) 130min
This enchanting and entertaining adventure imagines the beginnings of the beloved wizard character from L. Frank Baum’s series of novels. Director Sam Raimi (Spiderman 1, 2, & 3) remains respectful to the 1939 classic film while creating his own vivid, visually wonderful fantasy. James Franco is an ethically dubious magician Oscar Diggs, who travels (by tornado, naturally) over the rainbow to a magical land where he meets three witches (Mila Kunis, Rachel Weisz and Michelle Williams) who draw him into helping solve the epic problems facing the Land of Oz.
Fri Mar 29 - Mon April 1
This Zom-Rom-Com, set in a post-apocalyptic world, is an original, comic horror romance. A poignant tale about the power of human connection, adapted by Isaac Marion from his novel and directed by Jonathan Levine (50/50), follows human Julie (Teresa Palmer), the daughter of the president (John Malkovich) of a walled in US that shelters the remaining humans after a zombie epidemic. Zombie R (Nicholas Hoult, About a Boy) rescues Julie from an attack (after he eats her boyfriend). As these two form a special relationship in their struggle for survival, R is stirred back to life, becoming increasingly more human.
Tues Apr 2 - Thurs Apr 4
From filmmakers Lucien Castaing-Taylor (Sweetgrass) and Verena Paravel (Foreign Parts), this thrilling, immersive and ground-breaking documentary explores the dangerous world of commercial fishing in the North Atlantic. Set aboard a large groundfish trawler on a weeks-long expedition out of New Bedford, MA, this mesmerizing, experiential film uses footage taken from twelve small digital cameras that pass freely from filmmaker to fisherman and from below the sea to bird’s eye view, showcasing the stark but beautiful chaos of this harsh and unforgiving world. It is a cosmic portrait of one of mankind’s oldest endeavors.
