On September 21 we begin our Fall screenings with the French box office hit, THE MARCHING BAND followed by a FREE SCREENING on September 28 of THE HEROES OF THE COAST, celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the establishment of the California Coastal Protection Act. We will be expanding our film schedule with three films in October. Just a reminder September 7 is the Labor Day Holiday and there will be no screening.
Just a reminder to our patrons that I personally preview each film to insure a great viewing experience each and every Monday screening.
Our Foreign Film Series usually screens two films (sometimes three) each month, on the first and third Mondays at 3:30pm and 6:30pm at Plaza Cinemas 14.
We will continue our mission of providing the Best of World Cinema to the Oxnard and Ventura County community along with supporting local filmmakers.
Thanks and Be Safe, George J. Sandoval, Executive Director

2025 France 1hr 42 minutes

A world-famous orchestra conductor discovers the brother he never knew he had -- a school cafeteria worker who plays trombone in a local marching band. Detecting his brother's exceptional musical talent, he takes it upon himself to rectify the injustice of fate.

"Emmanuel Courcol’s Gallic charmer is nevertheless the film we need right now: a story in which people learn to be their best selves; that pays respect to working communities torn apart by the global economy; a story, moreover, centred on a brass band." -Stephanie Bunbury, Sydney Morning Herald
"Warm and sure-footed, the film has the feel of a richly satisfying meal in an excellent neighbourhood bistro. Old world pleasures of character and story are generously apportioned." - Danny Leigh, Financial Times |

LATE FAME
2025 USA 1hr 36 minutes
Drama/Comedy NR
In English with English subtitles
Ed Saxberger, a forgotten New York poet, works in the post office. After an eager and flattering young admirer appears on his doorstep, Saxberger is beckoned into a coterie of twentysomething admirers who anoint him as a rediscovered genius. Intoxicated by the attention -- and by the alluring presence of Gloria, the group's "tragic heroine" -- Saxberger gradually reckons with the authenticity of his newfound poetic circle. This thoughtful, witty film is a wistful yet unromantic look at a lost idea of downtown New York. NYTimes Critics' Pick

"This is a strong movie. It contains its own weird little world." - Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
"Late Fame" is a witty and wistful look at art and aging that gives Willem Dafoe and Greta Lee a showcase for their powerhouse performances." - Richard Crouse "There’s wisdom and depth to the film’s themes of growing old, dashed dreams and the magic of rediscovery, plus a deliciously ironic final twist." - Gary Goldstein, Los Angeles Times |

"Unflinching. A formidable debut" - RogerEbert.com
"Filled with courage and chaos." - THR "An emotional gut punch of a film." - Screen International "Dares its audience not to look away." - Variety "That these doctors continue risking their lives to serve those in need is awe-inspiring…American Doctor is hard to watch and it should be.
