    Newly restored to coincide with its 40th anniversary, this 1984 film directed filmmaker Jonathan Demme is considered by many as the greatest concert film of all time.

It's essential viewing not just for Talking Heads fans but for anyone looking for a haven in an often divisive and brutal world. Watching it leaves you lighter, dancing your way out of the theater in a joyous, exuberant celebration.

    Encore screening one night only! COMMON GROUND is the highly anticipated sequel to the acclaimed documentary, KISS THE GROUND. By fusing journalistic expose' with deeply personal stories from those on the front lines of the food movement, COMMON GROUND unveils a dark web of money, power, and politics behind our broken food system. The film reveals how unjust practices forged our current farm system in which farmers of all colors are literally dying to feed us. The film profiles a hopeful and uplifting movement of white, black, and indigenous farmers who are using alternative "regenerative" models of agriculture that could balance the climate, save our health, and stabilize America's economy – before it's too late.
