THE LOST KING

2022 UK 1hr 49minutes      
Comedy/Drama   PG-13
In English with English subtitles

In this inspiring true story, amateur historian Philippa Langley believes she has made the archeological find of the century: the lost burial site of King Richard III. She takes on Britain's most eminent historians, forcing them to rethink the legacy of one of the most controversial rulers in English history.

Directed by two-time Oscar nominee Stephen Frears (The Queen, A Very English Scandal") and starring two-time Oscar nominee Sally Hawkins (The Shape of Water, Spenser).





"It’s a tale made for the movies, and a character perfectly suited to the great Hawkins, who specializes in wispy-voiced women with cores of steel." - Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times

"Stephen Frears gives us something really comforting, sweet, solid and sincere."
-
Christy Lemire, FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

"Its pleasures and compensations lie not in plotty complications or some third-act twist, but in the humanity that suffuses an enterprise that is borne of obsession but achieves a form of transcendence." - Ann Hornaday, Washington Post

THE BLUE CAFTAN

2022 Morocco 2hr 3minutes      
Drama   PG-13
In Arabic with English subtitles

Morocco's official entry for Best International Film at the 95th Academy Awards.
Halim and Mina run a traditional caftan store in one of Morocco's oldest medinas. In order to keep up with the commands of the demanding customers, they hire Youssef. Slowly Mina realizes how much her husband is moved by the presence of the young man.


"Whenever you think you know where Maryam Touzani’s entrancing drama “The Blue Caftan” is going, she blindsides you with a fierce emotional wallop."
-
Robert Daniels,RogerEbert.com

"It’s the equivalent of a cinematic poem, filled with ache, insight and exhilaration."
-
Randy Myers, San Jose Mercury News

“The Blue Caftan,” like its title garment, has a handmade, lived-in quality, an authenticity that marks Touzani — a former journalist making her second feature — a director to watch." - G. Allen Johnson, San Francisco Chronicle

Monday, July 3rd at 3:30pm and 6:30pm TBA
