The Floaters
September 4 & 5: 5:00 pm, 7:00 pm
A heartfelt and hilarious camp comedy, The Floaters explores friendship, identity, and second chances through the chaos of Jewish summer traditions. Recently kicked out of her band and desperate for direction, Nomi (Jackie Tohn) reluctantly takes a job at Camp Daveed, the Jewish summer camp she once attended—now run by her childhood best friend, Mara (Sarah Podemski). With the camp in disarray (including a catastrophic plumbing failure), Mara assigns Nomi to supervise a group of misfit teens known as the floaters, who don’t quite fit in with the camp’s traditions or cliques. When a Maccabiah Games challenge with $30,000 in prize money is issued by rival Camp Barak—run by Nomi and Mara’s longtime nemesis, Daniel (Seth Green)—Nomi sees a chance to redeem herself, even if it means pushing boundaries and risking Mara’s trust. …As tensions mount, Nomi and the floaters must find common ground, rise to the challenge, and redefine what it means to leave a legacy.-Screen Zealots

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
September 2 & 3: 6:30 pm
By far the most ambitious, unflinchingly graphic and stylistically influential western ever made, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is a classic actioner shot through with a volatile mix of myth and realism. Screen legend Clint Eastwood returns as “The Man with No Name,” this time teaming with two gunslingers to pursue a cache of $200,000 and letting no one, not even warring factions in a civil war, stand in their way. From sun-drenched panoramas to bold hard close-ups, exceptional camerawork captures the beauty and cruelty of the barren landscape and the hardened characters who stride unwaveringly through it.

“Art it is, summoned out of the imagination of Leone and painted on the wide screen so vividly that we forget what marginal productions these films were..”–Roger Ebert

SUMMERTIME
September 1: 5:00 pm & 7:00 pm
With this sublimely bittersweet tale of romantic longing, director David Lean left behind the British soundstage to capture in radiant Technicolor the sun-splashed glory of Venice at the height of summer. In a tour de force of fearless vulnerability, Katharine Hepburn portrays the conflicting emotions that stir the heart of a lonely, middle-aged American tourist who is forced to confront her insecurities when she is drawn into a seemingly impossible affair with a charming Italian shopkeeper (Rossano Brazzi) amid the ancient city’s canals and piazzas. Lean’s personal favorite among his own films, Summertime is an exquisitely tender evocation of the magic and melancholy of a fleeting, not-quite-fairy-tale romance.–The Criterion Collection

LATE FAME
August 28 & 29: 5:00 pm, 7:00 pm
Ed Saxberger is a onetime poet and a longtime postal worker, and as he tries to write a poem for the first time in decades, he can’t get past a single phrase: “seasons collide.” Those two words encapsulate the strange storm of awakening and frustration in which Ed finds himself in Late Fame, director Kent Jones’ quiet and often searingly droll feature set in Manhattan’s West Village and SoHo. For the 60-something Ed, a coulda-been who’s unexpectedly “rediscovered,” and who’s played to conflicted perfection by Willem Dafoe, the season of his youth is crashing against his orderly life. It’s unsettling for him, but also invigorating. His downtown haunts teem anew with the ghosts of a scrappier time, when the neighborhood wasn’t filled with designer boutiques and struggling writers and painters could afford to live there. In a prolific career filled with complex and striking characters, the role of Ed Saxberger is a subdued but particularly rich one for Dafoe, himself a veteran of the downtown arts scene.-The Hollywood Reporter

100 Litres of Gold
August 26 & 27: 5:10 pm, 7:00 pm
With an endearing black comedy set in the provinces, which adopts the visual style of a ’60s Western, prolific writer-director Teemu Nikki salutes his country’s (and his family’s) tradition of sahti-making. “100 Liters of Gold” follows two dysfunctional middle-aged sisters, third-generation makers of the strong farmhouse ale. In their village of Sysmä, sahti is a must to mark births, weddings and funerals, as well as almost everything in between. Touching on issues such as alcoholism and family trauma, but with a light touch, Finland’s international Oscar submission provides a breath of fresh air (albeit one redolent with alcohol) amongst the serious dramas in this category.-Variety

Cinema Paradiso
Aug 25: 5:00 & 7:20
A celebration of childhood, friendship, romance and the power of cinema it’s an utterly beguiling, tender and funny film about the friendship between a young boy, Toto (Salvatore Cascio) and the gruff, uneducated man who runs the local picture house, Alfredo (Phillipe Noiret) – as remembered by the now grown-up Toto after learning of the old man’s passing. Set in Sicily, it looks lovely and is full of classic, memorable moments, including a tear-jerking finale. -Express UK

The Devil Wears Prada 2
August 23 & 24: 5:00 pm, 7:15 pm
Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, Stanley Tucci and Emily Blunt all return in this sweet sequel that was made for a night out with friends. When we pick up years after the events of 2006’s The Devil Wears Prada, things look very different at Runway: Magazines aren’t selling, journalism is in crisis and budget cuts are a constant. When Andrea (Hathaway) is laid off from her Important, Serious newspaper job (alongside all of her friends), she gets roped into working with Miranda (Streep) all over again. A bad job is often better than no job. And we’re off to the races! Nigel (Tucci) still lords over the fashion closet, while Emily (Blunt) has departed for greener pastures in the designer world.-US

The Samurai and the Prisoner
Aug 21 & 22: 4:15 & 7:00

(Kiyoshi) Kurosawa has made one of his best films, a work that feels a bit like Agatha Christie, a bit like Shakespeare, and even a bit like Samurai Columbo.-Brian Tallerico

AMARCORD - Spotlight Italia!
August 19 & 20: 5:00 pm, 7:20 pm
If ever there was a movie made entirely out of nostalgia and joy, by a filmmaker at the heedless height of his powers, that movie is Federico Fellini’s “Amarcord.” The title means “I remember” in the dialect of Rimini, the seaside town of his youth, but these are memories of memories, transformed by affection and fantasy and much improved in the telling.-Roger Ebert

“…it’s everything that great cinema should be.”-Empire

POWER BALLAD
August 16 & 17: 5:00 pm, 7:00 pm
Since 2007’s “Once,” the Irish writer-director has focused his films on the redemptive capacity of music. Carney, who was once a bassist for the Frames, knows from experience. From “Sing Street” to “Flora and Son,” he has made unabashedly earnest tales where a song, or just picking up an instrument, changes lives. This can, undoubtedly, lead Carney into sentimental territory. Lucky for him, his chosen subject — music — is more worthy of sentiment than almost anything else. Yet the song doesn’t quite remain the same in “Power Ballad,” a movie that begins with the gentle sweetness Carney is known for, but detours into something more discordant.-Jack Coyle

“Paul Rudd and Nick Jonas Rule in John Carney’s Most Winning Pop-Music Drama Since ‘Once’”–Variety
