“My American Uncle” (1980, 2h 5m, France, by Alain Resnais)
In this unconventional French film, renowned writer/philosopher Henri Laborit (portraying himself) presents three stories that illustrate the complexities of human behavior. René (Gérard Depardieu) is a man from humble farming roots who becomes manager at a textile factory and must contend with the pressures of the job. Meanwhile, Janine (Nicole Garcia), an actress turned stylist, is involved in an affair with Jean (Roger Pierre), a politician and aspiring writer who faces difficulties at home.

Foreign Film Fridays: "The Cremator"
2025-11-21 19:00 - 21:00
Classic movies from around the world!
“The Cremator” (1969, Horror/Comedy, 1h 42m, Czechoslovakia, by Juraj Herz)
In Prague, Kopfrkingl (Rudolf Hrusínský) enjoys his work at the crematorium perhaps a bit too much, having gained a perverse idea of reincarnation from his haphazard studies of Tibet. After World War II breaks out, there is a sudden need to be as Aryan as possible, and Kopfrkingl’s old friend Reinke (Ilja Prachar) points out that Kopfrkingl has some German heritage. But his wife is Jewish, which makes his children Jewish, which makes the now-Nazi Kopfrkingl’s blood boil.
Donation-based admission. Light refreshments available.

Foreign Film Fridays: "Where the Green Ants Dream"
2025-11-28 19:00 - 21:00
Classic movies from around the world!
“Where the Green Ants Dream” (1984, 1h 40m, West Germany/Australia, by Werner Herzog)
A surveying team led by Australian geologist Lance Hackett (Bruce Spence) is setting off subterranean explosions deep in the outback, searching for possible uranium mining sites. Hackett’s work is interrupted by Aboriginals Miliritbi (Wandjuk Marika) and Dayipu (Roy Marika), who claim that green ants dream underneath this land, and, if the insects’ slumbers are interrupted, the world will come to an end. The dispute between the two sides becomes both a court case and a philosophical debate.

Foreign Film Friday: “Stolen Kisses”
2025-12-05 19:00 - 20:30
(1968, France, 1h 30m, by François Truffaut)
The third in a series of films featuring François Truffaut’s alter-ego, Antoine Doinel (Jean-Pierre Léaud). It is now 1968, and the mischievous and perpetually lovestruck Doinel has been dishonorably discharged from the army and released onto the streets of Paris, where he stumbles into the unlikely profession of private detective and embarks on a series of misadventures. Whimsical, nostalgic, and irrepressibly romantic.
