The Met: Live in HD: Bellini’s I PURITANI

For gorgeous melody, spellbinding coloratura, and virtuoso vocal fireworks, I Puritani has few equals. This January, the first new Met production of Bellini’s final masterpiece in nearly 50 years—a striking staging by Charles Edwards, who makes his company directorial debut after many successes as a set designer—arrives in cinemas worldwide. The Met has assembled a world-beating quartet of stars, conducted by Marco Armiliato, for the demanding principal roles. Soprano Lisette Oropesa and tenor Lawrence Brownlee are Elvira and Arturo, brought together by love and torn apart by the political rifts of the English Civil War, with baritone Artur Ruciński as Riccardo, betrothed to Elvira against her will, and bass-baritone Christian Van Horn as Elvira’s sympathetic uncle, Giorgio.

The screening will begin at 12:55 p.m. and will conclude at approximately 4:50 p.m.

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

MLK Week Screening: AIN’T NO BACK TO A MERRY-GO-ROUND with Dr. Russell Morrow

Watch Trailer

Join us Monday, January 19th at 1:00 p.m. to celebrate Martin Luther King, Jr. Week with a special event screening of a fantastic documentary that tells the story of one of the first interracial civil rights protests in American history!

Special thanks to RECA (Racial Equity Coalition, Athens) and NAACP Athens County for helping to make this screening possible!

Free Admission – Tickets are required

This event will include a post-film discussion with the audience facilitated by Intercultural Strategist and Educator Dr. Russell Morrow

About the film

One summer in 1960, five students from nearby HBCU Howard University in Washington, D.C. who were members of the Nonviolent Action Group opted to climb aboard the horses on the carousel at the Glen Echo Amusement Park — a carousel designated as “Whites Only” — in order to initiate a sit-in protest and gain recognition for the burgeoning Civil Rights Movement. Soon thereafter, folks from the surrounding communities, including many from nearby Jewish neighborhoods, joined the students and formed a picket line in support of their cause. The courageous act prompted counter-protests from the American Nazi Party and other proponents of segregation, in addition to gaining national attention in the media at the time. This little-known and now-almost-forgotten event, which preceded the famous March on Washington by two years, resulted in a reversal of Glen Echo Park’s policy of segregation and ultimately helped set off a ripple effect through the rest of America’s Civil Rights Movement that has since impacted the lives of countless others.

Using archival footage and voice-over narration from notable Hollywood actors like Jeffery Wright, Mandy Patinkin, and Dominique Thorne, Ain’t No Back to A Merry-Go-Round brilliantly tells the story of some of the individuals who played a role in the protests and how their actions demonstrate that the power to make positive social change is immensely stronger when we all work together.

FATHERLAND (Ojczyzna)

Watch Trailer

This latest film from Polish writer/director Paweł Pawlikowski (The Last Resort), starring Sandra Hüller and Hanns Zischler, details a pivotable moment in the life of 20th century German literary icon Thomas Mann, who fled his homeland in 1933 as the Nazis began to assume power and reshape the nation. It is now 1949, the Cold War is in full swing, and Germany has seen many changes as Mann and his daughter Erika embark on a cross country road trip so that Mann can receive the Goethe Award in Frankfurt. During the course of the trip, both father and daughter are confronted by the essence of what it means to be a German, how to define that identity, and how to reconcile the nation’s illustrious cultural history with the dark chapter brought about during WWII.

Enter the Kingdom: CARRIE

Watch Trailer

Join us Tuesday, January 20th at 7:00 p.m. as we kick off our exciting new series Enter the Kingdom: A Retrospective of Stephen King Film Adaptations!

Admission $8

About the film

Carrie White has a complicated life. At sixteen, not only is she in the depths of adolescence, but she’s also the daughter of an abusive, religiously fanatic mother and is often bullied at school because of her naïveté. When she learns that she has the gift of telekinesis – the ability to control objects with one’s mind – she decides to get even with everyone who has tormented her.

Based on Stephen King’s first novel, this unforgettable film from director Brian De Palma was originally released in 1976, so this year will mark the 50th anniversary of this classic horror film! It was also the first film adaptation of King’s work (which now amounts to more than 100 movies and TV shows), so what better way to kick-off our Enter the Kingdom series..?!

THE TASTE OF THINGS: Last Day Wednesday, March 20th

Watch Trailer Director: Trần Anh Hùng
Writer(s): Trần Anh Hùng
Cast: Juliette Binoche, Benoît Magimel
Awards: Cannes Film Festival - Best Director, Palm d'Or (nominated)

About the Film

Eugénie and Dodin have paired their skills in the kitchen for 20 years. During that time, working closely together and relying on each another, they’ve not only prepared meals of exquisite quality but have also kindled feelings for one another. Eugénie enjoys her freedom, however, and has done her best to keep Dodin at arms length…that is, until Dodin finally cooks her a meal that she cannot resist.

Academy Award-winning actress Juliette Binoche stars opposite Benoît Magimel (Binoche’s one-time partner in real life) in this deliciously romantic period-piece set in France in the 1880’s. THE TASTE OF THINGS is a love letter to food and to love — the kind of film that is a feast for the eyes and mouth-wateringly charming.

The Met: Live in HD: Mason Bates’s THE AMAZING ADVENTURES OF KAVALIER & CLAY

In this exhilarating new adaptation of Michael Chabon’s Pulitzer Prize–winning novel, two Jewish cousins invent an anti-fascist superhero and launch their own comic-book series, hoping to recruit America into the fight against Nazism. Incorporating scintillating electronic elements and a variety of musical styles, composer Mason Bates’s eclectic score moves seamlessly among the three worlds of Gene Scheer’s libretto: Nazi-occupied Prague, the bustling streets of New York City, and the technicolor realm of comic-book fantasy. Bartlett Sher’s production provides spectacular visuals to match, with towering sets and proscenium-filling projections designed by 59 Studio. Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin conducts the Met premiere-production, with baritone Andrzej Filończyk as the artist Joe Kavalier, who flees Czechoslovakia and arrives at the Brooklyn doorstep of writer Sam Clay, sung by tenor Miles Mykkanen.

The screening will begin at 12:55 p.m. and will conclude at approximately 4:00 p.m.

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

WICKER

Watch Trailer

On the outskirts of a seaside town lives The Fisherwoman (played by Olivia Coleman). Derided for her smelling of her profession, and unmarried, she experiences constant ridicule from her neighbors. One day, however, The Fisherwoman becomes fed up with the snooty, judgmental, and small-minded residents and commissions The Master Weave of the town to create for a Wicker Husband (played by Aleksander Skarsgård) so she can at least get people to stop chiding her for being a spinster. The romance that develops between the two newly-introduced lovers is, though very strange, one of purity, loyalty, and tenderness which soon sparks ire, jealousy, and chaos in this medieval town where conservative values hold sway among the population.
