Acerbic aging poet Elle Reid (Lily Tomlin) mourns the death of her longtime partner even as she reels from a recent breakup; yet she must table her misanthropy when her teenage grand- daughter Sage (Julia Garner) turns up unexpectedly on her doorstep in need of $600 and a ride. What ensues is an urban road-trip in Elle’s vintage Dodge to visit old friends and flames, rattling skeletons and digging up secrets all over town as the unlikely duo try to rustle up the cash. Tomlin hits a career high point in Paul Weitz’s caustically funny and poignant family drama, as circumstances force Elle to confront her past and Sage her future, over the course of a single day. A supporting ensemble that includes Marcia Gay Harden, Laverne Cox, Judy Greer, and Sam Elliott round out the cast in this delightful, touching cinematic gem.—Genna Terranova (USA, 2015, 80 min, Rated R, DCP | Dir. Paul Weitz)

Lily Tomlin is Elle, a lesbian poet coping with the recent death of her long-term life partner. When her granddaughter arrives on her doorstep pregnant and in need of cash fast, she is plunged into a road trip that inevitably forces her to confront the past while her granddaughter confronts the future. THE CUT Fatih Akin’s historic epic follows one man’s journey through the Ottoman Empire after sur- viving the 1915 Armenian genocide. Uprooted from his home in Mardin, Nazaret (A Prophet’s Tahar Rahim), pushes onwards as a forced laborer. His hope is revived when he learns that his daughters might still be alive, leading him on a journey to America in search of them. The acclaimed German filmmaker of Turkish descent, Fatih Akin (Head On, The Edge of Heaven) is back with a story of human odyssey in the vein of Elia Kazan’s America America. Co-written by Mardik Martin (, ), The Cut marks an important event in 20th century history that is rarely depicted on screen, yet at the same time delivers the story of a personal quest. In the end, the fate of an individual is intimately bounded to the irresistible forces of history. —Frédéric Boyer (Germany | France | Poland | Italy | Canada | Turkey | USA, 2014, 138 min., In Armenian, Arabic, Turkish, Kurdish, Spanish and English with English Subtitles | Dir. Fatih Akin | Venice International Film Festival 2014)

“Fatih Akin’s THE CUT is a genuine, hand-made epic, of the type that people just don’t make anymore. In other words, a deeply personal response to a tragic historical episode, that has great intensity, beauty and sweeping grandeur. This picture is very precious to me, on many levels.” -

THETHE WOMAN SECOND IN GOLD MOTHER An excitingly fresh take on some classic themes and ideas, centering around Val, a hard-work- ing live-in housekeeper in modern day Sao Paulo. Val is perfectly content to take care of every one of her wealthy employers’ needs, from cooking and cleaning to being a surrogate mother to their teenage son, who she has raised since he was a toddler. But when Val’s estranged daughter Jessica suddenly shows up the unspoken but intrinsic class barriers that exist within the home are thrown into disarray. Jessica is smart, confident, and ambitious, and refuses to accept the upstairs/downstairs dynamic, testing relationships and loyalties and forcing everyone to recon- sider what family really means. (Brazil, 2015, 112 min, Rated R, In Portuguese with English subtitles, DCP | Dir. Anna Muylaert) When the estranged daughter of a hard-working live-in housekeeper suddenly appears, the unspoken class barriers that exist within the home are thrown into disarray 5 TIME OUT OF MIND Starring Richard Gere

Richard Gere delivers a soul-baring performance as George, a man whose struggle to find food and a place to sleep in is beautifully captured with remarkable realism and heart- rending compassion. Shuffled into the unforgiving bureaucracy of a men’s shelter, George seems destined to wind up as just another lost soul swallowed up by the system—until he meets a gregarious, down-and-out ex-jazzman (played by Broadway legend Ben Vereen) who inspires George to reconnect with his estranged daughter (Jena Malone). Cinematically stunning and shot in an eloquently observational style, Time Out of Mind is an unforgettable plunge into a world that is all too easily overlooked. (USA, 2014, 120 min., DCP | Dir. Oren Moverman | Toronto Film Festival 2014 | New York Film Festival 2014)

Academy Award nominated writer/director Oren Moverman (The Messenger, Rampart) creates a haunting look at life on NYC streets immersing viewers in one man’s daily quest to survive.

PAWNWILD TALESSACRIFICE Starring Tobey Maguire, Liev Schreiber and Peter Sarsgaard In a gripping true story set during the height of the Cold War, American chess prodigy Bobby Fischer (Tobey Maguire) finds himself caught between two superpowers when he challenges the Soviet Empire. Also starring Liev Schreiber and Peter Sarsgaard, Pawn Sacrifice chronicles Fischer’s terrifying struggles with genius and madness, and the rise and fall of a kid from Brooklyn who captured the imagination of the world. (USA, 2014, 116 min., PG-13, DCP | Dir. Edward Zwick)

American chess champion Bobby Fischer faced Russian Boris Spassky during the height of the Cold War in what became the greatest chess match ever played

THE NEW GIRLFRIEND Claire (rising French star Anais Demoustier) discovers a secret about the husband of her late best friend, Laura. Following Laura’s death, Claire reaches out to comfort bereaved David (Romain Duris), only to discover his secret: he enjoys dressing as a woman. In acclaimed writer- director François Ozon’s provocative new film, he elevates his exploration of modern sexuality and femininity to a new level. (USA, 2014, 108 min., in French with English subtitles, Rated R, DCP | Dir. François Ozon | Toronto Film Festival 2014)

Don’t miss Francois Ozon’s hit film SWIMMING POOL – See page 13

After the death of her best friend, Claire falls into a deep depression, but a surprising discovery about her friend’s husband gives her a new taste for life in this brilliantly subversive comedy from the director of Swimming Pool

6 TAXI by Iranian Filmmaker Jafar Panahi Winner of the Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival, Taxi is the third film made secretly byJafar Panahi since a ban on filmmaking was imposed on him in . Where the first two were filled with frustration and anger, Taxi is more hopeful, and frequently very funny. A taxi drives through the city streets and various passengers enter, each expressing their views on a range of matters relating to Iran today. The driver is Jafar Panahi himself, and he has a camera attached to the dashboard. Some of the passengers know who he is, but most don’t. A seller of pirated DVDs certainly recognizes the great director, and tries to boost his business by claiming that Panahi is his business partner. Panahi and the various characters he encounters reflect on art, politics, and the law. Perhaps the most fasci- nating encounter is with Panahi’s young niece, who is making a film herself and trying to follow her teacher’s instructions not to depict a “sordid realism.” Playful, funny and optimistic, Taxi finds Panahi at his most creative and entertaining, giving one hope that the creator of such great films asThe Circle, Offside and Crimson Gold, will soon again be free to openly make films, and travel the world.(Iran, 2015, 82 min., in Persian with English subtitles, DCP | Dir. Jafar Panahi) An entertaining and provocative look at modern Iranian society from filmmaking master Jafar Panahi (This is Not a Film, Closed Curtains)

STONEWALL Danny Winters (Jeremy Irvine) is caught up during the 1969 Stonewall Riots, after being forced to leave behind friends and loved ones when he is kicked out of his parent’s home and flees to New York. Alone in Greenwich Village, homeless and destitute, he befriends a group of street kids who soon introduce him to the local watering hole The Stonewall Inn; however, this shady, mafia-run club is far from a safe-haven. As Danny and his friends experience dis- crimination, endure atrocities and are repeatedly harassed by the police, we see a rage begin to build. This emotion runs through Danny and the entire community of young gays, lesbians and drag queens who populate the Stonewall Inn and erupts in a storm of anger. With the toss of a single brick, a riot ensues and a crusade for equality is born. (USA, 2015, 129 min., Rated R, DCP | Dir. Roland Emmerich)

The story of a young man’s political awakening and coming of age during the days and weeks leading up to the Stonewall Riots from visually masterful director Roland Emmerich

GOODNIGHT MOMMY In the heat of the summer lays a lonesome modern house in the rustic Austrian countryside where nine year old twin brothers await their mother’s return. When she comes home, bandaged after cosmetic surgery, she requires a completely sterile state of calm much to the chagrin of her playful young sons. Nothing is like it was before and the children start to doubt whether this woman is actually their mother. Produced by Ulrich Seidl, Severin Fiala and Veronika Franz’s exquisite, cerebral horror-thriller is a heartbreaking tale of love and loss wrapped in one of the scariest films of the year.(Austria, 2014, 99 min., In German with English subtitles, Rated R, DCP | Directors: Severin Fiala, Veronika Franz)

A deeply haunting thriller with existential themes of identity and trust unfold when twin brothers begin to suspect their mother is not who she says she is

BEAUX’ STRATAGEM Thursday, September 3 at 2 pm (Live) $20 Members | $25 Public

The ‘Beaux’: Mr Aimwell and Mr Archer, two charming, dissolute young men who have blown their fortunes in giddy London. Shamed and debt-ridden, they flee to provincial Lichfield. Their ‘Stratagem’: to marry for money.

Lodged at the local inn, posing as master and servant, they encounter a teeming variety of human obstacles: a crooked landlord, a fearsome highwayman, a fervent French Count, a maid on the make, a drunken husband, a furious butler, a natural healer and a strange, turbulent priest.

But their greatest obstacle is love. When the Beaux meet their match in Dorinda and Mrs. Sullen they are most at risk, for in love they might be truly discovered. (UK, 2015, 200 min (including intermission) | Dir. Simon Godwin)

THE AUDIENCE Thursday, September 10 is Sold Out! Next Showing is on October 19th at 7 pm $20 Members | $25 Public

Helen Mirren reprises her Academy Award winning role as Queen Elizabeth II in the highly-anticipated West End production of The Audience, broadcast as part of National Theatre Live. For sixty years Elizabeth II has met each of her twelve Prime Ministers in a weekly audience at Buckingham Palace – a meeting like no other in British public life – it is private. Both parties have an unspoken agree- ment never to repeat what is said. Not even to their spouses. The Audience breaks this contract of silence – and imagines a series of pivotal meetings between the Downing Street incumbents and their Queen. From Churchill to Cameron, each Prime Minister has used these private conversations as a sounding board and a confessional – sometimes intimate, sometimes explosive. From young mother to grandmother, these private audiences chart the arc of the second Elizabethan Age. Politicians come and go through the revolving door of electoral politics, while she remains constant, waiting to welcome her next Prime Minister. The Audience reunites writer Peter Morgan and Academy Award-winning actress Helen Mirren following their collaboration on the critically-acclaimed movie sensation The Queen. The Audience is directed by Academy Award-nominated director Stephen Daldry (Billy Elliot, The Hours).

Back by popular demand! Helen Mirren reprises her Academy Award winning role as Queen Elizabeth II in this highly-anticipated play about the private meetings between the Queen and her Prime Ministers.

Benedict Cumberbatch in HAMLET Thursday, October 15 at 2 pm (Live) & Thursday, October 22 at 7 pm (Encore) $20 Members | $25 Public

Both a griping tale and a deep exploration of the complex philosophical and ethical issues that surround cold-blooded murder, calculated revenge, and thwarted desire, William Shakespeare’s Hamlet is widely considered to be among the most powerful and influential tragedies in English literature. Forced to avenge his father’s death but paralyzed by the task ahead, Hamlet rages against the impossibility of his predicament, threatening both his sanity and the security of the state. This production featuring one of the finest actors of our time brings out both the drama and the depth of Shakespeare’s classic.

(UK, 2015, 240 min., NR | Dir. Lyndsey Turner) Academy Award® nominee Benedict Cumberbatch (Sherlock, The Imitation Game) takes on the title role of Shakespeare’s great tragedy 9 Sponsored by Stuart Real-to-Reel: A Documentary Film Series & Ginger Polisner

BEYOND THE DIVIDE followed by a discussion with peacebuilder Gary Shapiro Co-Presented by Tuesday, September 15 at 7 pm • Members $10 | Public $15 Fifty years have passed since the beginning of the Vietnam War. The politics and casualties are history yet deep scars remain. In Missoula, Montana, a mysterious graffiti peace symbol inflamed the animosity between those who served and those who fought a different war at home. Through the courageous acts of Vietnam veteran Dan Gallagher and peace ad- vocate Betsy Mulligan-Dague, Beyond the Divide illuminates a path to healing old wounds while reimagining peace. Their story inspires audiences to focus on what unites us instead of what divides us. (USA, 2014, 85 min. | Directed & Produced by Jan Selby)

Gary Shapiro was a peacebuilding advisor for Mercy Corps in the Somali region of Ethiopia on a project to mainstream peacebuilding through education and address Somali inter- clan conflict between youth. Additionally, Gary did consultant work for CARE in Uganda, evaluating their peacebuilding program. Gary is an ordained Interfaith Minister.

Set in the mountainous beauty of Missoula, Montana, Beyond the Divide is a feature-length documentary film about war, peace, and the courage to find common ground

Sponsored by Stuart Real-to-Reel: A Documentary Film Series & Ginger Polisner STRAY DOG With Director DEBRA GRANIK in Person! Monday, September 28 at 7:30 pm • Members $10 | Public $15 • Includes Reception Debra Granik could have gone in any number of directions after the success of Winter’s Bone. She decided to focus on a documentary portrait of Ron “Stray Dog” Hall (who played Thump Milton in the 2010 film), an aging biker and RV park manager from southern Missouri. When we are introduced to Hall and his friends, they appear to be the very image of “middle America” held by New York- ers: hard-drinking (moonshine, no less), gun-toting, tattooed motorcycle freaks. Slowly, gradually, another image comes into view, of a man who has been permanently altered by his tours of duty in Vietnam, who has come to terms with himself and acquired a rare wisdom and patience in the process, and who is now dedicated to helping his friends, his loved ones, and his fellow vets. This is a moving film about community and the bonds that hold it together; in its surprising second half, when the children of Hall’s Mexican wife arrive in Missouri, it is also a vivid snapshot of a changing America. (USA, 2014, 100 min., DCP | Dir. Debra Granik) “Winter’s Bone director Debra Granik provides plenty of surprises in her superb slice of American life on the margins…In an era when many coastal Americans’ ideas of the heartland poor come from hicksploitation TV series, Stray Dog provides a very welcome corrective.”- Andrew Barker, Variety Debra Granik, director of the acclaimed Winter’s Bone, continues her deep exploration of rural American life in this powerful new documentary about the complex life of Ron “Stray Dog” Hall (who played Thump Milton in Winter’s Bone), a Vietnam veteran from southern Missouri 10 YOUNG FRENCH CINEMA Discover a New Generation of Directors

SCHOOL OF BABEL Tuesday, September 1 at 7:30 pm • Regular Admission Julie Bertuccelli’s profoundly moving documentary observes a group of immigrant students, ranging in age from 11 to 15, in a class at a second- ary school in Paris designed to help them with their grasp of French. The pupils and their families have arrived at the French capital from all over the world: China, Ireland, Senegal, Morocco, Venezuela, Ukraine, to name just a few countries. Some are political refugees, others are escaping eco- nomic hardship, while others are simply hoping to start anew. Limiting her filming almost exclusively to the classroom, Bertuccelli (here helming her fourth feature-length work and second nonfiction project) captures an extraordinary range of interactions—not just among the students and their unflappable teacher but also among the pupils and their parents during in-school conferences. Compassionate but never maudlin, School of Babel shines a light on the newest arrivals to an exceptionally diverse city, paying close attention to the formidable challenges they face. (France, 2013, 89 min., Documentary, DCP | Dir. Julie Bertuccelli)

A moving documentary that captures the uniqueness of a Parisian classroom where students from all over the world struggle with integration

TONNERRE Tuesday, October 6 at 7:30 pm • Regular Admission The title of Guillaume Brac’s debut feature refers to a town, located in the French region of Burgundy, that translates as “thunder”—and indeed, several sudden, explosive incidents take place in this riveting film. Thirty- something Maxime (Vincent Macaigne), a Paris-based musician who’s enjoyed early success but is now faltering a bit, temporarily relocates to his father’s house in the provincial village, where he hopes to work on some new songs. He soon meets—and quickly falls in love with—aspir- ing journalist Mélodie (Solène Rigot), a young woman about ten years his junior. Completely consumed by his passionate relationship with Mélodie, Maxime begins to unravel when she unexpectedly ends their romance by text. As the film skillfully shifts from what at first seemed a quiet character study to a tension-filled thriller, Macaigne demonstrates why he is one of the most in-demand actors of his generation, giving a fascinating, complex performance as a man in the throes of madness. (France, 2013, 102 min., DCP | Dir. Guillaume Brac)

A simple story set in a provincial town turns into a fascinating thriller when the romance between a successful Parisian musician and his girlfriend take unexpected turns.

Educational Lecture by Bill Shelley of ROCK LEGENDS LIVE! Shelly Archives Inc. BLUES LEGENDS: 1920s – 1970s Tuesday, September 8 at 7:30 pm • $10 Members | $15 Public • Includes Reception “The Blues are a mystery, and mysteries are never as simple as they look.” - B. B. King The blues started in the deep South when slaves and sharecroppers sang of love, pain, despair, joy, and even death, capturing feelings both deep and sorrowful, and uplifting and joyful. This expressive style has resonated with wide ranging audiences because of its unique ability to touch a deep emotional core in listeners. This program will feature an assortment of blues legends and pioneers from the earliest days of Bessie Smith (known as the “Queen of the Blues”), John Lee Hooker, Son House, Muddy Waters, Buddy Guy, Freddie King, T-Bone Walker, Ida Cox, Pops Staples, Memphis Minnie, and many more. Their songs will include “Woke Up This Morning,” “St. Louis Blues,” “Hey Baby,” “Feel Like Cryin’,” “ Glory, Glory Halleujah,” “Damn Right I Got the Blues,” “Every Day I Have the Blues,” and “Key to the Highway.” In the 1960s, the blues inspired British musicians like Eric Clapton and Peter Green who renewed attention to this art form. By this time, source music came from all over America and blues blended with the styles of ragtime, folk, jazz and gospel. Some of the film clips that will be shared in this program are the only known filmed performance of the artists, such as theBessie Smith’s song. Come and celebrate the blues as we pay tribute to this great American art form.

His wife wants a divorce so she can marry another. He’s on a collision course with his university’s tenure committee. His savant brother Arthur (Richard Kind) has taken up what seems like a permanent residence on the family couch. The next door neighbors are encroaching on his property. His stoner son seems dangerously unready for his bar mitzvah. And the Columbia record club won’t stop calling. Gopnik is a man put upon, and answers are unforthcoming from both human and divine. Perhaps taking advantage of the new freedoms might help in accepting the mystery? Or perhaps every man must define himself in the face of the almighty... We’ll see how that goes. (USA, 2009, 106 min., R, DCP | Dirs. Joel and Ethan Coen) “A film that demands to be seen and experienced on whichever theological level the viewer finds themselves comfortable with. Equally versed in theoretical physics and the mechanics of spiritual divorce.” —Jason Shawhan

Join host Fred Craden for a lively exploration of the Coen Brothers’ hilarious comedy about a Midwestern philosophy professor whose decidedly ordinary life comes wildly undone

14 STAFF PICKS...come see the CAC staff’s favorite films!

Selected by John Panicola, Theater Operations Manager Wednesday, September 16 at 7:30 pm Members $7 | $12 Public | Free for Young Film Fans! I could apologize to you in advance for coming to watch The Room, but I think in some way you may thank the cinema for showing it afterwards. Is there a hidden meaning? No. Does it hold a special place in my heart? Absolutely, though I find it impossible to explain why. This was no easy decision. I am a huge fan of so many films and genres that it was keeping me up at night. Yet somehow I settled on this…movie, with joy. It might have been because of the flower shop scene. I can tell you two things that have come from experiencing The Room with an audience: 1. It is an interactive experience, to say the least. People will be quoting, there may be a few plastic spoons in the air (bring some to enhance your viewing experience!) Everything will be explained before the show begins.

2. I showed this to friends on my 31st birthday in a theater and nearly seven years later we still quote it daily. – John

A friendly, selfless man Tommy( Wiseau) who greets everyone with a disarming “Oh, hai...” discovers that you can’t trust anyone after getting engaged to a manipulative, self-serving women who seduces his best friend and destroys his life. As the film depicts friend- ships and relationships in the lives of its five major characters, it raises one of life’s most-asked question: “Can you really trust anyone?”

A midnight cult sensation, this quirky black comedy has been running for over a decade in Los Angeles and has now taken the rest of the country by storm. You’ll want to be there for the devastation it will leave in its wake! (USA, 2003, 99 min., Rated R, 35mm | Dir. Tommy Wiseau) Cult film favoriteThe Room is an electrifying American black comedy about love, passion, betrayal and lies that bolstered wide appeal for its unintentionally hilarious charm.

Brooklyn couple, Freddy (Sebastian Silva) and Mo (Tunde Adebimpe), are trying to have a baby with the help of their best friend, Polly (Kristen Wiig). Freddy is an artist, and his latest work is all about babies – it’s clear he’s dying to be a father. Polly is a family practitioner who is more interested in having a baby than having a man. Mo is hesitant about the entire idea, especially when Polly isn’t having success with Freddy’s sperm and the donor responsibility shifts to him. Set almost entirely in the multicultural vibrancy of Fort Greene, Brooklyn, the trio navigate the idea of creat- ing life, when they are confronted by unexpected harassment from a particularly aggressive neighborhood man, nicknamed The Bishop. As their clashes become increasingly aggressive, someone is bound to get hurt. (USA/Chile, 2015, 100 min., In English and Spanish with English subtitles, DCP | Dir. Sebastian Silva)

A dark comedy from Chilean filmmaker Sebastian Silva (Crystal Fairy & the Magical Cactus), about a gay couple trying to have a baby in Brooklyn with their best friend as their surrogate.

15 FILM NOIR Classics Hosted by Foster Hirsch, the “Dean of Film Noir” NIAGARA Monday, September 21 at 7:30 pm Members $10 | Public $15 Includes book signing reception (The Dark Side of the Screen: Film Noir) Twentieth Century Fox released Marilyn Monroe’s first starring role with the tagline, “A raging torrent of emotion that even nature can’t control!” That – plus the famous poster of a giant Marilyn stretched full-length atop Niagara Falls – established her almost instantly as the most iconic of all Hollywood stars, with an allure and presence none have ever matched. Monroe’s riveting performance is also one of her finest, belying the now absurd notion that she couldn’t really act. (The mesmerizing way she sings “Kiss” tells us that deep trouble is on the way.) Here she holds her own and more opposite Orson Welles’ favorite actor, Joseph Cotten, who plays the jealous, emotionally unstable, and clearly mismatched husband she plots to murder. Wholesome honeymooners Jean Peters (one of Howard Hughes’ real-life paramours) and Casey Adams watch on, intrigued yet keeping their distance - until they, too, are pulled, with escalating terror, into the whirlpool of tangled emotions and carnal obsessions that is Niagara. (USA, 1953, 92 min., Technicolor | Dir. Henry Hathaway) Foster Hirsch is a professor at Brooklyn College, a pioneer in the development of Film Studies and author of The Dark Side of the Screen: Film Noir. Curated by Jud Newborn, CAC Special Programs Curator See Marilyn Monroe on the big screen and in full Technicolor, in the 1953 noir thriller that transformed her from a starlet into a worldwide cultural icon.

Anything But Silent Silent Classics with Live Theatre Organ Accompaniment by Ben Model WHY BE GOOD? Tuesday, September 29 at 7:30 pm • Members $10 | Public $15 Colleen Moore was a leading light of a new group of exciting female movie stars in the 1920s. They embodied the energy and exuberance of the jazz age, as well as the rapidly changing roles of women. Moore was the quintessential flapper. Her effervescent and playful persona made Moore one of the most popular stars of that decade of prosperity and transformation. Why Be Good? is a showcase for the vivacious and talented Moore and a defining film of the Roaring Twenties. Here she plays a free-spirited flapper who finds herself romantically involved with the son Neil( Hamilton) of her boss, much to the displeasure of her new beau’s family. The film was thought to be lost, but two film historians finally (and heroically) tracked down a print in Italy.(USA, 84 mins., 1929, DCP | Dir. William A. Seiter) Ben Model is one of the USA’s leading silent film accompanists, and has been playing piano and organ for silents at the Museum of Modern Art in New York for the past 28 years and the CAC for over 7 years.

In this Jazz age comedy Colleen Moore (Her Wild Oat) plays a salesgirl with a wild reputation who falls in love with the wealthy heir to the store where she works, so his father orchestrates an elaborate test of her virtue.

THE HAND THAT FEEDS Co-presented by Thursday, October 1 at 7 pm • Members $10 | Public $15

At a popular bakery café, residents of New York’s Upper East Side get bagels and coffee served with a smile 24 hours a day. But behind the scenes, undocumented immigrant work- ers face sub-legal wages, dangerous machinery, and abusive managers who will fire them for calling in sick. Mild-mannered sandwich maker Mahoma López has never been interested in politics, but in January 2012, he convinces a small group of his co-workers to fight back. Risking deportation and the loss of their livelihood, the workers team up with a diverse crew of innovative young organizers and take the unusual step of forming their own independent union, launching themselves on a journey that will test the limits of their resolve. In one roller- coaster year, they must overcome a shocking betrayal and a two-month lockout. Lawyers will battle in back rooms, Occupy Wall Street protesters will take over the restaurant, and a picket line will divide the neighborhood. If they can win a contract, it will set a historic precedent for low-wage workers across the country. But whatever happens, Mahoma and his coworkers will never be exploited again. (USA, 2014, 85 min., English and Spanish with English subtitles | Dir. Robin Blotnick & Rachel Lears) Shy sandwich-maker Mahoma and his undocumented immigrant coworkers set out to end abusive conditions at a New York restaurant chain. This epic power struggle turns a single city block into a battlefield in America’s new wage wars.

THE HUNTING GROUND with Director KIRBY DICK in person Thursday, October 8 at 7:30 pm • Members $10 | Public $15

A scorching exposé of the startling prevalence of sexual assault at bastions of higher learning and of the powerful interests that re-victimize vulnerable students while shielding perpetrators. Using vérité footage, expert insights, first-person testimonies and a bombshell interview sure to make headlines, the film delivers a devastating indictment of campus “rape culture.” In raw and emotional interviews, survivors and their families testify to a real-life horror story that has become all too common. Those brave enough to re- port the crimes face disbelief, apathy, victim-blaming, harassment and retaliation from both their fellow students and the administrators whose job it is to protect them. The filmmakers uncover an alarming effort on the part of universities and colleges to downplay and deny sexual assaults on their campuses to keep crime statistics low and public approval high. (USA, 2015, 103 min, PG-13, DCP | Dir. Kirby Dick)

The latest feature film from director Kirby Dick and producer Amy Ziering The( Invisible War), takes audiences straight to the heart of a shocking epidemic of violence, rape and institutional cover-ups sweeping college campuses across America.
