The legendary Aretha Franklin was one of the most beloved and iconic singers in music history. She began performing gospel as a child with her father Rev. C.L. Franklin and her sisters.

But when Atlantic Records offered her a contract in 1967 as a soul singer, it was the perfect blend of soulful ballads, gospel vocals and the Memphis Horn section. Chart topping hit records included "Think", "I Never Loved A Man", "Dr. Feelgood", "Chain Of Fools", "You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman", and the classic Otis Redding penned "Respect", the song for which Aretha will be best remembered.

Renault (), Rick's café has become a haven for refugees looking to purchase illicit letters of transit which will allow them to escape to America. One day, to Rick's great surprise, he is approached by the famed rebel Victor Laszlo (Paul Henreid) and his wife, Ilsa (Ingrid Bergman), Rick's true love who deserted him when the Nazis invaded Paris. She still wants Victor to escape to America, but now that she's renewed her love for Rick, she wants to stay behind in Casablanca. "You must do the thinking for both of us," she says to Rick.

JAPANESE MONSTERS Monday, February 18 at 7:30 pm | Members $11 | Public $16

Giant reptiles, moths, robots, mushroom-people and other odd behemoths have caused worldwide havoc in many Japanese Monster films from the 1950's and 1960's. American film critics at the time sneered at these wild, unusual films. A second look at these highly entertaining movies prove these are well crafted works of monster-movie art. While on the surface, these are action- packed monster movies, they also tell the story of Post-War Japan rebuilding itself. Come to the Cinema as film historian/film maker Glenn Andreiev tells the back-story of these films that has worldwide admirers such asQuentin Tarantino, and .

Glenn Andreiev is a longtime Long Island filmmaker and film historian. He has lectured at the Cinema Arts Centre, local libraries, the Northport VA, Molloy College, and at School of Visual Arts, where he holds a BFA in Film. His work as a film-maker has appeared on CNN, TruTV, Newsday, Howl Arts and The View. His previous documentaries include The Wendy Wild Story and Lost Emulsion.

SHERLOCK, JR. and THE GOAT Tuesday, February 19 at 7:30 pm | Members $11 | Public $16

Buster Keaton’s sublime comedy about reality and illusion, in which projectionist Buster literally dreams himself into the detective movie he’s screening is considered one of his finest works. Buster stars as a movie projectionist/janitor who dreams of being a detective, and impressing the girl he loves. When Buster dreams himself into the film he's showing, he is propelled into a visual wonderland where real life and fantasy come crashing together. Sherlock Jr. was Keaton’s 3rd feature-length film as an independent after switching to the longer format following a series of brilliant 2-reelers in the early 1920s. The film was innovative in its technical mastery, its surreal explosion cinematic space, and its wonderfully pure zaniness. (USA, 1924, 49 min., NR, Silent with English intertitles| Dir. Buster Keaton) THE GOAT Buster goes from Forgotten Man to Most Wanted when his photograph is mistakenly circulated as that of an escaped criminal in one of his funniest and wildest short films.

RYUICHI SAKAMOTO: CODA Wednesday, February 20 at 7 pm | $11 Members | $16 Public With reception and Q&A with Director Stephen Schible

Few artists have as diverse a background as Ryuichi Sakamoto—composer, performer, producer, and environmentalist. His work has spanned genres and forms: from pioneering electronic music as a member of Yellow Magic Orchestra to crafting globally inspired rock albums, classical compositions, minimal and ambient music collaborations, and over 30 film scores. Following 2011’s Fukushima nuclear disaster and a cancer diagnosis three years later, Sakamoto has created a haunting new masterpiece. Five years in the making, director Stephen Schible’s documentary uses footage from Sakamoto’s life and career to make a deep, intimate, and poised portrait of both the artist and his creative process. (Japan & USA, 2017, 102 mins., NR, Japanese with English subtitles | Dir. Stephen Schible) From techno-pop stardom to Oscar-winning film composer, the evolution of Ryuichi Sakamoto's music has coincided with his life journeys. Following Fukushima, Sakamoto became an iconic figure in Japan's social movement against nuclear power. As Sakamoto returns to music following a cancer diagnosis, his haunting awareness of life crises leads to a resounding new masterpiece. 16 The Royal Opera

PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF DESIRE Monday,February 25 at 7:30 pm | Members $11 | Public $16 Skype interview with Director Hao Wu

As an entire generation in China has come of age on social media, virtual relationships are slowly replacing real-life human connections. People's Republic of Desire provides a vérité journey into the Chinese digital universe, where performers earn as much as $150,000 a month to share their lives online with interactive audiences of tens of thousands ranging from the super rich to the dirt poor, all searching for a way to feel connected. The film follows three young people: a singer, a , and a migrant worker, as they search for fame, fortune and emotional contact in live streaming. We also meet their families, those managing the online talents, as well as the wealthy men who control the fate of these talents behind the scenes, much like the Wizard of Oz. The story culminates in the bizarre annual online idol competition, in which the rich can buy unlimited amount of votes for their favorite performers. Filmmaker Hao Wu offers an eye-opening look at the on and offline reality of life in this supposedly Communist country, where money alone pulls the strings, and human connection and personal happiness remain as illusive online as - perhaps even more so than - in our real and broken world. (China, 2018, 95 min., NR, Chinese with English subtitles | Dir. Hao Wu) Yes, Black Mirror is already here. This SXSW Grand Jury Award winner explores the phenomenon of China’s live-streaming showrooms, where ordinary people can find legions of fans and financial rewards. Hao Wu profiles two unlikely stars of this digital world as they seek fame, fortune and human connection only to find the same promises and perils online as in their real lives.

Special Event GOING MY WAY BING CROSBY: SWINGING ON A STAR, THE WAR YEARS 1940-1946 Wednesday, February 27 at 7:30 pm | Members $11 | Public $16 Includes reception and discussion with Gary Giddins and Film Historian Foster Hirsch

Gary Giddins’s Bing Crosby: Swinging on a Star, The War Years 1940-1946 is the story of the most popular performer of his time, an artist who transcended differences in age, gender, ethnicity, religion, and politics. It depicts the home front at a time when entertainment was “no mere diversion but a necessity.” Much of the world huddled around his recordings (including “White Christmas,” still the best-selling disc of all time, his Academy Award-winning performances as Father O’Malley in Going My Way and The Bells of St. Mary’s, his irreverent forays on the Road with , and his weekly radio staple, Kraft . Giddins will speak about Crosby and his book, and introduce his most honored film,Going My Way. Father Charles O'Malley (Bing Crosby) is an easy-going, golf-playing young priest whose entry into a tough neighborhood parish in midtown Manhattan is viewed with skepticism from all quarters, especially the aging Father Fitzgibbon (Barry Fitzgerald). While dealing with some unfinished business from his former life in the form of an old flame who now sings at the Metropolitan Opera (Rise Stevens), Father O'Malley inspires the youth of his parish by forming a boys choir.
