NATCHEZ - Don't miss your LAST CHANCE to see this at the State Theatre for TCFF Tuesdays!
Tuesday, September 1 @ 7PM -- Doors Open @ 6PM

After generations of showcasing its antebellum homes and hoop-skirted docents, Natchez, Mississippi, is now reckoning with a romanticized past, an uncertain future and the debt it owes to the descendants of slavery. A cinematic portrait of a tourist town at a crossroads, NATCHEZ follows an array of historic homeowners, activists and tour guides as they tell their versions of the past, and clash over who gets to tell America's story.

TONY - Don't miss the LAST CHANCE to catch this at the State Theatre TODAY! Saturday, August 30th - 1:00 PM

From A24 and director Matt Johnson comes TONY, a wildly funny, messy, and soulful coming-of-age origin story inspired by the early life of Anthony Bourdain. A 19-year-old Tony travels to Provincetown and stumbles into the chaotic world of a restaurant kitchen, setting off a summer that will shape the course of his life.

Boasting standout performances by Sessa alongside Antonio Banderas as a firm-yet-grounding head chef and Leo Woodall as a chaotic coworker, Tony captures the humbling, hilarious, and transformative weeks that forged an icon. Equal parts sweet, sharp, and deeply human, this is the story of how a kid with nothing figured out finally found his fire.

📚REVIEW:
“Herbert observes how an American city that profits off its antebellum history grapples with its legacy of slavery. (...)
How can a city move forward without acknowledging the past? That’s not just a question for Natchez, but one for America as a whole.”
-Lovia Gyarkye, The Hollywood Reporter
