WILD TALES

2015  Argentina 2hr 2 minutes

Comedy/Drama/Thriller   NR

In Spanish with English subtitles

Nominated for Academy Award for Best International Film 2015

Inequality, injustice and the demands of the world we live in cause stress and depression for many people. Some of them, however, explode. This is a movie about those people. Vulnerable in the face of a reality that shifts and suddenly turns unpredictable, the characters of Wild Tales cross the thin line that divides civilization and barbarism. A lover’s betrayal, a return to the repressed past and the violence woven into everyday encounters drive the characters to madness as they cede to the undeniable pleasure of losing control. Winner of 50 International Awards

Film Sponsor: Bruce Perry

Screening August 17, 2026 at 3:30pm and 6:30pm

THE BLUE TRAIL

2025  Brazil 1hr 52 minutes

Drama/Romance NR

In Spanish with English subtitles

In a not-so-distant dystopian future where the government sends seniors to isolated colonies under the guise of boosting the economy, 77-year-old Tereza (Denise Weinberg) decides her story is far from over. Refusing to surrender her independence, she embarks on a journey to pursue the dreams she is not yet ready to abandon. Along the way, she discovers freedom, companionship, and the joys of going wherever the river takes her. Winner of the Silver Bear Grand Jury Prize at the 75th Berlin International Film Festival, the latest from director Gabriel Mascaro (Neon Bull, Divine Love) is an inspiring reminder that it’s never too late to take flight.

Screening September 21, 2026 at 3:30pm and 6:30pm

THE MARCHING BAND

2025  France 1hr 42 minutes

Comedy/Drama NR

In French with English subtitles

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. An equally hilarious and affecting crowd-pleaser that premiered at Cannes and became a French box office sensation starring Benjamin Lavernhe (My Donkey, My Lover & I) and Pierre Lottin (The Stranger).
