NO OTHER CHOICE

Watch Trailer

The latest film from South Korean filmmaker Park Chan-wook (Oldboy, Lady Vengeance, The Sympathizer) blends elements of satire, black comedy, and noir in a story inspired by crime writer Donald Westlake’s novel The Ax.

Man-su has devoted his life to the paper company where he works, and he has reaped the benefits: winning awards, owning a happy home with a lovely wife, and enjoying the luxurious fruits of his labors. Things take a bad turn, however, when a US firm buys-out the paper company with Man-su becoming a victim of mass layoffs among the staff. All of a sudden, Man-su finds himself in the unenviable position of having to look for a job that will allow him and his family to maintain their current quality of life. As his troubles mount, Man-su’s adherence to sense of morality begins to slip as his downward spiral intensifies.

Cast: Will Arnett, Laura Dern, Andra Day, Amy Sedaris

Bradley Cooper helms a new comedy-drama loosely inspired by the real-life story of a man who found a new lease on life as a stand-up comedian.

Novak now has to navigate late-middle age on his own and figure out a new identity for himself, an unenviable situation for anyone in the waning years of their life. As he embraces a new-found hobby — stand-up comedy — he discovers that the best way to approach the scary unknowns and tough spots of Life is to laugh.

WEAPONS – Last Day: Thursday, September 11th

Watch Trailer Director: Zach Cregger
Cast: Josh Brolin, Julia Garner, Elden Ehrenreich, Benedict Wong

On the heels of the success of his rule-breaking horror-thriller Barbarian, writer-director Zach Cregger returns with an audacious new horror-mystery that tips its hat to the works of Paul Thomas Anderson and sculpts a character-centric story into a tale of epic proportions.

When all but one child from a class of seventeen third-graders mysteriously vanish without a trace on the same night at exactly the same time, the community of Maybrook struggles, with minimal clues to guide them, to find out who or what is behind the strange disappearance. Confused, grieving, and seeking answers, the town have little choice but to direct their anger towards the 3rd grade teacher (Julia Garner) who doesn’t have the best reputation. However, when she’s put on leave, she takes it upon herself to investigate the matter and try to clear her name. She ends up crossing paths with several of the townsfolk…any one of whom could be responsible for the tragic mystery.

About the film

Blending genres, provoking awareness about socio-political issues, and adding a healthy dose of weirdness, Bacurau has been wowing critics and audiences alike since its release in 2019!

A small community in rural Brazil comes together to for a funeral to pay their respects to Carmelita, considered by all to be the elder matriarch of the village. After the event takes place, however, strange things begin to happen: the village seems to have disappeared from online maps and satellite photos, strange people visit the out-of-the-way location, and the villagers witness what they think to be a UFO sighting. Moreover, an ongoing water dispute with a wealthy city up-river brings unforeseen violence to the community when the corrupt mayor of the wealthy city arrives to secure the electoral support from the villagers. The villagers are forced to take up arms and defend their humble farms and traditional way of life.

Check out the rest of our line-up of films in the Hispanic Film Series

The Spanish Film Club series was made possible with the support of the OHIO School of International Studies and Languages (SISAL), Sigma Delta Pi (National Collegiate Hispanic Honor Society), Pragda, SPAIN arts & culture, and the Secretary of State for Culture of Spain.

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

About the film

Shedding light on the resilience of communities facing the brunt of climate injustice, Edge of Hope, focuses on Miami, FL as the city grapples with rising sea levels, extreme heat, intensified hurricanes, and other harbingers of crisis. The film uncovers how systemic inequities magnify the challenges of climate change, disproportionately impacting vulnerable populations. By weaving together the voices of experts and community advocates, the film presents a powerful narrative of both struggle and determination.

More than just a documentary, Edge of Hope is a testament to the power of resistance and collective hope. It challenges viewers to reflect on the systemic forces at play while inspiring change through community-driven solutions. As climate threats escalate, this film serves as a crucial reminder that hope, and action remain vital in the fight for environmental justice.

He currently serves as the Program Director for the Mellon-funded FIU Commons for Justice Project, which partners with historically Black and Brown communities in Miami to address longstanding social and environmental inequities. As one of the directors of The Edge of Hope, David helped bring to life the stories and voices of Miami residents who continue to shape the city’s future in the face of challenge and change. Through his work, he explores how storytelling and collective action can strengthen community bonds and inspire meaningful progress.

Kevin Grove is Professor of Geography at Florida International University, and editor at Progress in Human Geography. His research focuses on the political geographies of resilience, disaster management and environmental security, which he has explored in Kingston, Jamaica, New York City, San Juan, Puerto Rico, and most recently, Miami, where he led the “redesigning resilience” research team in the FIU Commons for Justice project. He is the author of over 80 peer reviewed articles and chapters, including his 2018 book Resilience, which examines the links between ecological resilience theory, design thinking, and their adoption in national and local government policies initiatives. Kevin received his PhD in 2011 from the Ohio State University, and currently splits his time between Miami and Athens with his wife and son. He is a proud supporter of local youth soccer and recently coached his son’s U12 soccer team, the Adena Spears.
