LOVE LIES BLEEDING: Last Day Sunday, April 7th

Watch Trailer Director: Rose Glass
Cast: Kristen Stewart, Katy, O'Brian, Ed Harris, Dave Franco

Kristen Stewart stars as “Lou”, a small town gym owner who’s trying to toe the straight-and-narrow and get out from under the shadow of her family’s criminal tendencies. When up-and-coming bodybuilder Jackie (Katy O’Brian) passes through on her way to a big competition in Las Vegas, Lou falls hard for her and the two begin a passionate love affair. The flames of passion, however, end up kindling a bigger inferno that ultimately engulfs them in a wildfire of revenge.

From A24 Studios, Love Lies Bleeding is a steamy, edgy romantic thriller that could have been pulled from the pages of an old pulp novel. This sophomore effort from British filmmaker Rose Glass (Saint Maud) also features a tour-de-force performance from Ed Harris as Lou’s father/nemesis “Lou Sr.”

Love Lies Bleeding melds a greasy crime drama with a gritty love story, presenting a saga steeped in steroid-fueled rage, white trash aesthetics, and memorably bad haircuts.

About the film

The emotions are back!

Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear, and Disgust all return in the follow-up to the hit 2015 animated film from Pixar. Young Riley is now a teen who’s reached some big new emotional milestones – she’s now a high school freshman, treading the road of adolescence, and heading to a three-day hockey camp where she’ll be thrust into competition with other young ladies – all of which undoubtedly pose challenges to her emotional well-being. As a result, Joy and her cohorts have created a new section in Riley’s adolescent mind, the “Sense of Self”, as well as a mechanism meant to relay negative thoughts and memories to the back recesses of Riley’s subconscious. However, along with physical maturity comes a higher level of emotional complexity. Joining Joy and the others are 4 new emotions that will complicate Riley’s stability – Envy, Embarrassment, Ennui, and Anxiety – and raise the stakes of Joy’s efforts to keep Riley on an even (and positive) keel as Riley tries to cope with all the new emotionally-charged experiences of young-adulthood.

About the film

Blending archival footage and interviews with friends, family, and colleagues, Roadrunner: A Film about Anthony Bourdain seeks to tell the story about one of America’s biggest pop cultural icons. From his humble beginnings in the sweat-filled kitchens of New York, to his first forays into becoming a writer, to his massive success as the host of food/travel shows like No Reservations and Parts Unknown, and, finally, to his shocking death by suicide, this film attempts to both paint a fitting portrait of a one-of-a-kind workaholic and explain why he chose to end his life during the height of his success. Brimming with charisma, uncompromising and opinionated, fearless and infinitely curious: Everyone who knew Anthony Bourdain would surely say the same thing — there will never be another like him.

Frame of Mind: ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND

Viewing: May 26,2026

Watch Trailer

Join us Tuesday, May 26th at 7:00 p.m. as our Frame of Mind series concludes with a genre-bending film by French auteur Michel Gondry and surrealist writer Charlie Kaufman!

Admission is FREE – Tickets are required

So for the month of May, we invite you to embrace empathy, get together, and step into a new Frame of Mind!

About the film

With an ensemble cast that includes Jim Carey, Kate Winslet, Mark Ruffalo, and Kirsten Dunst, this mind-bending romance incorporates elements of sci-fi and the surreal to tell the story of Joel Barish (Carey) and Clementine Kruczynski (Winslet) who, in the wake of a falling out, both decide to undergo a brain procedure whereby their memories get erased by a sketchy company that promises the result of post-procedure happiness. But, even with their (good and bad) memories erased, their true feelings might just be enough to bring the two back together again.

From the minds of two of Hollywood’s most-visionary creators comes this love story the likes of which you’ve never seen — it serves as a reminder that, no matter how much you try to rid your mind of heartache, the power of love can guide you to where you deserve to be.

From the Hills and Hollers: OCTOBER SKY with Dr. Amy Wolfe

Watch Trailer Director: Joe Johnston
Cast: Jake Gyllenhaal, Chris Cooper, Laura Dern

About the film

Based on the memoir Rocket Boys by American engineer Homer H. Hickman Jr., the film tells the story of four young men who, while growing up in the coal fields of rural West Virginia in the late-1950s, witness the world-shaking launch of the Sputnik 1 satellite and are inspired to start building rockets of their own, seeking a path to the stars instead of succumbing to the well-tread paths that would lead them down into the coal mines.

About the series

Due to the resounding success of the series launch during 2022-2023, we are thrilled to present the 2nd annual From the Hills and Hollers: Appalachian Film Series for 2023-2024.

The series seeks to foster a deeper connection between the Athens city and university communities and the cultural legacy of the surrounding region through films that examine the many facets, both positive and negative, of life in Appalachia. This batch of films is, in large part, the product of filmmakers who have intimate knowledge of living in this environment and, as a result, are well-suited for representing the realities of Appalachia on the big screen.

Short introduction/lectures will provide context for the film and introduce the underlying issues represented in film and other media. All events in the series are presented with free admission.

This screening will take place at the Athena Cinema located at 20 S. Court St.

This series is sponsored by the College of Health Sciences and Professions, the Department of Sociology and Anthropology in the College of Arts and Sciences, OHIO Honors Program, Center for Campus and Community Engagement, Athens County Public Libraries, University Libraries, GO Local, University College, the Center for Law, Justice, and Culture, and the Ohio Arts Council.

The Met: Live in HD: Gabriela Lena Frank’s EL ÚLTIMO SUEÑO DE FRIDA Y DIEGO

Viewing: May 30,2026

The Metropolitan Opera’s 2025–26 Live in HD season comes to a close with American composer Gabriela Lena Frank’s first opera, a magical-realist portrait of Mexico’s painterly power couple Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, with libretto by Pulitzer Prize–winning playwright Nilo Cruz. Fashioned as a reversal of the Orpheus and Euridice myth, the story depicts Frida, sung by leading mezzo-soprano Isabel Leonard, leaving the underworld on the Day of the Dead and reuniting with Diego, portrayed by baritone Carlos Álvarez. The famously feuding pair briefly relive their tumultuous love, embracing both the passion and the pain before bidding the land of the living a final farewell. Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin conducts the Met-premiere staging of Frank’s opera, a “confident, richly imagined score” (The New Yorker) that “bursts with color and fresh individuality” (Los Angeles Times). The vibrant new production, taking enthusiastic inspiration from Frida and Diego’s paintings, is directed and choreographed by Deborah Colker.

The screening will begin at 12:55 p.m. and will conclude at approximately 3:45 p.m.

Admission $20 (Senior $18, Children $8)

OHIO Students Free with valid ID*

*Thanks to support from Arts for OHIO, we are able to offer a limited number of FREE student tickets available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Must have valid student I.D.

Writer(s): Ethan Coen, Tricia Cooke
Cast: Margaret Qualley, Geraldine Viswanathan, Beanie Feldstein, Pedro Pascal, Matt Damon

About the Film

Jamie (Margaret Qualley) and Marian (Geraldine Viswanathan) are two friends who set out on a road trip to Tallahassee in order to get a change of scenery. Jamie has recently broken up with her girlfriend and asks Marian to come along for moral support. Everything is hunky-dory until the two dolls cross paths with a group of bumbling brigands who will stop at nothing to bring Jamie and Marian’s good time to an end.

Directed by the “Ethan” half of the illustrious Coen Brothers, and co-written by Ethan and his wife Tricia Cooke, DRIVE AWAY DOLLS takes some cues from the playbook of 1970’s exploitation films and features a supporting cast that includes Pedro Pascal, Matt Damon, and Beanie Feldstein. Blending the dark thrills of FARGO with the buddy-system comedy of BROAD CITY, this hip, modern-day road movie will make you keep your hands on the wheel so you can navigate the many twists and turns that only the mind of a Coen Brother can create!

About the film

Michelle Yeoh stars as “Evelyn Quan Wang” in this genre-blendingly wild cinematic ride written and directed by Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert.
