Film Schedule
BAB’ AZIZ
“An Arabian dream that weaves timeless story threads with mystical and Sufi elements into a beautiful film object.” Deborah Young, Variety. A blind dervish and his spirited daughter wander the desert in search of a great reunion of dervishes. Filled with breathtaking images and wonderful music this fairytale-like story of longing and belonging was filmed in the ever-shifting sandscapes of Tunisia and Iran.
FLAWLESS
“Flawless is a fictional tale, but something in director Michael Radford’s conscientious, methodical presentation gives it the feeling of true history.” Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle. This crime/drama set is in 1960 London, where a soon to retire janitor (Michael Caine) convinces a glass-ceiling constrained American executive (Demi Moore) to help him steal a handful of diamonds from their employer, the London Diamond Corporation.
PRICELESS
“Tautou is a delight, as always, using her bubbly personality to comic advantage. And Elmaleh makes for a sort of poor man’s Buster Keaton, perpetually stressed but refusing to surrender, no matter how much damage he sustains to himself or his wallet.” Desson Thomson, Washington Post. Through a set of wacky circumstances, a young gold digger (Audrey Tautou) mistakenly woos a mild-mannered bartender thinking he’s a wealthy suitor.
STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES
Critically acclaimed documentarian, Errol Morris examines the incidents of abuse and torture of suspected terrorists at the hands of U.S. forces at the Abu Ghraib prison.
THEN SHE FOUND ME
“A smart, subtle and seriously funny dramedy bound to find favor with sophisticated audiencess...” Joe Leydon, Variety. Academy Award winning actress Helen Hunt directs and stars in this story of a New York schoolteacher who begins a courtship with the father (Colin Firth) of one of her students.
THE CHILDREN OF HUANG SHI
A young British journalist (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) with the assistance of a courageous Australian nurse, saves a group of orphaned children during the Japanese occupation of China in 1937.
