“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.

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.

“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.
Donation-based admission. Light refreshments available.

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.

Foreign Film Friday: “Hour of the Wolf”
2025-12-12 19:00 - 20:30
Classic movies from around the world every Friday!
(1968, Sweden, 1h 29m, Horror/Drama, by Ingmar Bergman)
The strangest and most disturbing of the films Ingmar Bergman shot on the island of Fårö, this one stars Max von Sydow as a haunted painter living in voluntary exile with his wife (Liv Ullmann). When the couple are invited to a nearby castle for dinner, things start to go wrong with a vengeance, as a coven of sinister aristocrats hastens the artist’s psychological deterioration. This gripping film is charged with a nightmarish power rare in the Bergman canon, and contains dreamlike effects that brilliantly underscore the tale’s horrific elements.
Donation-based admission. Light refreshments available.

Foreign Film Friday: “Cronos”
2025-12-26 19:00 - 20:30
Classic movies from around the world every Friday!
(1992, Mexico, 1h 34m, Horror/Drama, by Guillermo del Toro)
Kindly antiques dealer Jesús Gris (Federico Luppi) happens upon an ancient golden device in the shape of a scarab, and soon finds himself the possessor and victim of its sinister, addictive powers, as well as the target of a mysterious American named Angel (a delightfully crude and deranged Ron Perlman). Featuring marvelous makeup effects and the haunting imagery for which del Toro has become world-renowned, “Cronos” is a dark, visually rich, and emotionally captivating fantasy and a highly unorthodox tale about the seductiveness of the idea of immortality.
Donation-based admission. Light refreshments available.
