This is the story of Howard Beale: the first known instance of a man who was killed because he had lousy ratings...Sidney Lumet's scathing satire, NETWORK, returns to the big screen for its 50th anniversary with a new 4K restoration. NETWORK (1976) screens in celebration of Art House Theater Day at the Moxie Thursday, July 30 at 7pm. Garnering 10 Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture, this no-holds-barred New Hollywood classic remains as fearlessly funny as it is unnervingly relevant. Tickets on sale now - link in the comments.

Art House Theater Day is an annual program of Art House Convergence that brings audiences together to celebrate all that art house theaters - and independent film - contribute to our cultural landscape: ambitious and innovative art that provokes, challenges, entertains, and inspires.

"An emotional, clear, politically timely and euphorically moving film." (El Mundo) Beyond a tour de force coming of age story, Romería offers a moving, trenchant investigation on how family connections form new identities. ROMERÍA opens Friday, July 24 at Moxie Cinema. Tickets on sale now - showtimes in the comments.

A beautifully rendered autobiographical tale, Romería is celebrated Spanish director Carla Simón's touching portrait of family origins. In a bravura performance, Llúcia Garcia stars as 18 year-old Marina, who travels to the glittering seaside town of Vigo determined to uncover information on her father. Gradually tracking down his siblings, she slowly learns uncomfortable secrets about her parents’ unconventional life and turbulent past. (NR, 112 min.)

Based on #1 New York Times Best Seller by Azar Nafisi, "Reading Lo**ta in Tehran is a remarkable exploration of women’s resilience in revolutionary Iran." [CIFF] READING LO**TA IN TEHRAN opens Friday, July 24 at Moxie Cinema. Tickets on sale now - showtimes in the comments.

As Islamic morality squads stage arbitrary raids in Tehran and as fundamentalists seize hold of the universities, Azar Nafisi, an inspired teacher, secretly gathers six of her most committed female students to read forbidden western classics. Unaccustomed to being asked to speak their minds, they soon removed their veils, their stories intertwining with the novels they read: just like the heroines of Nabokov, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Henry James or Jane Austen, the women in Nafisi’s living room dare to dream, hope and love as we experience the complexity of the lives of individuals facing political, moral and personal siege. (NR, 105 min.)

"John Early’s directorial debut is a sincere and surprising comedic triumph." (LWL) MADDIE'S SECRET opens Friday, July 17 at Moxie Cinema. Tickets on sale now - showtimes in the comments. "John Early's unique sensibility bursts onto the big screen with huge laughs in this loving recreation of '80s-'90s Lifetime movies that's just as heartfelt as it is hilarious." (Next Best Picture)

MADDIE’S SECRET is comedian, writer, and actor John Early’s critically acclaimed directorial debut starring himself as Maddie, a plucky dishwasher who leaps to viral superstardom at a trendy food content creation company. While her life seems picturesque — complete with an adoring husband (Eric Rahill), ride-or-die best friend (Kate Berlant) and a cupboard full of woman-owned ethically-sourced chili crisp to boot — mounting professional pressures threaten to reawaken a hidden secret from her troubled past. A pitch-perfect blend of satire, melodrama, daring tonal shifts and intimate performances, the film marks a bold new voice in contemporary cinema. (NR, 98 min.)
