Enter the Kingdom

Who’s ready for a BRAND NEW film series..?

With the recent return of our David Lynch retrospective — “Let’s Do Lynch” — being such a smashing success, we’ve cooked up a new series that is sure to follow suit. Beginning in January of 2026, we will be hosting a new retrospective series, ENTER THE KINGDOM, featuring films adapted from the literary works of the one-and-only Stephen King!

Now in his late-70’s, the Man from Maine has been churning out critically-acclaimed novels and short stories for the past half-a-century — it’s estimated that he’s sold around 350 million books worldwide — and he’s created a body of work (mostly grounded in horror fiction) that is sure to stand unrivalled for the foreseeable future. What’s more, King’s gift at coming up with strange characters, bizarre plots, and unforgettable dialogue, lends itself to cinematic adaptation. So, since we’re a movie-house and not a bookstore, the best way we can honor King’s legacy is to show a bunch of films that take you into the weird worlds that he has created!

 

Here’s the line-up…fit for a King! :

CARRIE – Tuesday, January 20th

THE SHINING – Tuesday, January 27th

CREEPSHOW – Tuesday, February 3rd

THE DEAD ZONE – Tuesday, February 10th

CHRISTINE – Tuesday, February 17th

STAND BY ME – Tuesday, February 24th

PET SEMATARY – Tuesday, March 3rd

MISERY – Tuesday, March 17th

THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION – Tuesday, March 24th

THE MIST – Tuesday, March 31st

CLJC & OIP Present: WRONGFUL CONVICTION DAY with Richard and Janette Horton

Join us in commemorating Wrongful Conviction Day with a special event presentation sponsored by the Center for Law Justice & Culture and The Ohio Innocence Project

Tuesday, October 8th at 7:00 p.m.

Admission is FREE and open to the public…Tickets are required for entry

 

 

We’re proud to partner with the CLJC and the OIP as they host an event featuring Richard and Janette Horton, joined by OHIO alumnus and Director of Policy and Engagement at the Ohio Innocence Project, Pierce Reed, Esq.

Richard Horton was convicted in 2006 and sentenced to 23 years in prison for a home invasion, robbery, and shooting in Columbus that he did not commit. After serving 16 in prison, Mr. Horton was granted a new trial thanks to emerging DNA analysis technology. The Ohio Innocence Projects believes this to be the first instance where such evidence has led to the reversal of a conviction.

Mr. Horton will discuss his experience with wrongful conviction and his work with OIP to exonerate him. His wife, Janette will discuss the impact these cases have on those close to the accused.

The event is co-sponsored by the Ohio Innocence Project, Ohio University’s OIP-u, and Phi Alpha Delta Pre-Law Fraternity.

Let’s Do Lynch:

After a 10-year hiatus, Let’s Do Lynch is back! Starting in January 2025, we’ll be devoting Tuesday nights to a career-spanning retrospective of David Lynch’s amazing films — 8 movies in all!

For the past six decades, David Lynch has approached filmmaking from an extremely unique, totally genuine, and incredibly artistic perspective. His work has consistently wrestled with deeply existential themes, oftentimes accompanied by dreamlike and terrifying imagery. One thing remains constant throughout his body of work: The reality that Lynch allows us to be privy to is much different than what we experience on a day-to-day basis.

Having recently been diagnosed with emphysema (Lynch has smoked Winston cigarettes for most of his life) and no longer permitted by doctors to direct in-person, it may be that David Lynch will soon retire altogether from the world of cinema. So, now’s the perfect time to join us in celebrating a true artist who might just be the greatest American filmmaker of all time!

Sustainability Series: THE EDGE OF NATURE

Watch Trailer Director: Josh Fox

Gasland filmmaker Josh Fox spent the initial months of the COVID-19 pandemic – a unique moment in human history that some scientists have referred to as “The Anthropause” – isolating himself in a one-room cabin in the woods of Pennsylvania while he suffered through the physical, mental, and neurological impacts of a bout with long covid. His hope was that, through developing a close connection with nature, he would be able to heal his body, his mind, and his soul. Over the course of nine months, Fox documented his life in isolation and the insights he developed about topics as wide-ranging as wildlife, genocide, the intergenerational trauma common to rural America, and, most importantly, himself.

About the film

Comedy legend Bill Murray stars as Frank, a grungy Rhode Island zookeeper who’s lack of hygiene is partly tied to mourning the death of his wife.

When Thrax, a lethal new virus (voiced by Laurence Fishburne), shows up on the biological scene, Osmosis Jones finds himself in a race against time to seek and destroy Thrax before his deadly plans can bring Frank down for the count.

Hispanic Film Series: THIS STOLEN COUNTRY OF MINE (NUESTRO PAIS ROBADO)

Previously screened

Watch Trailer Director: Marc Weise

Join us Tuesday, September 29th at 7:00 p.m. as our 2nd annual Hispanic Film Series continues with a powerful documentary about the corruption and the clash between Capitalism and culture!

Admission is FREE and open to the public – Tickets are required

This event will include a post-show panel discussion

About the film

Chinese mining in Ecuador’s mountains sets the stage for an epic battle between eco-guerrillas and a corrupt government in an intensely dramatic documentary.

This Stolen Country of Mine follows Paúl Jarrín Mosquera, who leads the indigenous resistance against the exploitation of their land. Meanwhile, China uses the Ecuadorian government to turn the country into one of its new colonies, having made the country dependent on credit through a series of corrupt and greedy treaties. When journalist Fernando Villavicencio exposes these plots and gets access to the contracts between China and Ecuador, the government wants him silenced too. Both men are fighting for freedom in this battle against a superpower.

Directed by award-winning filmmaker Marc Wiese, the film exposes China’s massive hunger for natural resources and how during the last decade it has been aggressively operating to obtain access to these resources in Ecuador. The country is now stuck with the most Chinese debts in Latin America.
