July 25 and 27
Based on Alexandra Fuller’s memoir of the same name, DON'T LET'S GO TO THE DOGS TONIGHT captures the childhood of 8-year-old Bobo (a remarkable star turn from Lexi Venter) on her family farm in Zimbabwe (formerly Rhodesia) at the end of the Zimbabwean War for independence in 1980. Growing up in the midst of this long running war, Bobo internalizes both sides of the struggle. Conflicted by her love for people on opposing sides, she tries to make sense of her life in a magical way. Through her eight-year-old gaze we witness Rhodesia’s final days, the family’s unbreakable bond with Africa, and the deep scars that war leaves on survivors.

SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER
John Badham
- 119 minutes
- 1977
- English
July 25 - 27
With electric energy, drive and humor, John Travolta gives an Oscar nominated, star-making performance as Tony Manero, an Italian-American teen whose only escape from his Brooklyn hellhole comes once a week when he boogies through the late 70’s NYC grime as king of the dance floor. A stark combination of gritty social realism and feverish disco dance sequences, this is the film that made an icon, and with the Bee Gee’s classic hit soundtrack, broke a genre. While the studio rushed out a PG rated cut to capitalize on the phenomenon, we are, of course, screening the the original UNCUT R rated theatrical version. Demanding to be to be experienced in the theater, SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER is a touchstone film of the 1970s and one of the great American films of all time.

JONATHAN RICHMAN featuring TOMMY LARKINS on the drums!
July 28 - TWO SHOWS!
One of America’s most unique and dynamic songwriters Jonathan Richman has spent decades removing barriers between himself and his audience, cultivating an intimacy that is almost extinct in modern music and his live performances are legendary. Here’s what Jonathan has to say:
“The music we’re doing now works well in quiet places like theaters and performing art centers. We still don’t use a program or a set list so we don’t know what we’ll do until we do it. Please do not expect old songs. Many singers my age do a retrospective; this show is not like that. It’s mostly stuff made up in the last 3 and 4 years. Some of the songs presented might be in different languages; this is not to be esoteric or clever, it’s because the different languages help me express different feelings sometimes. One last thing, my idea of a good show has nothing to do with applause. It’s about if all the songs I sang that night were ones that I felt.”
Don’t miss this very special intimate live music event!

ARCHITECTON
Victor Kossakovsky
- 98 minutes
- 2025
- English and Italian with English subtitles
August 1 - 3
A visually stunning, extraordinary journey through the material that makes up our habitat: concrete, and its ancestor, stone. Filmmaker Victor Kossakovsky (Gunda, Aquarela) explores humanity’s relationship with architecture and the environment and raises a fundamental question: how do we inhabit the world of tomorrow? Italian architect Michele De Lucchi reflects on the need for a new concept of beauty, as traditional grandiose structures and disposable concrete buildings become unsustainable. Through mesmerizing imagery of ancient ruins, modern cityscapes, and natural quarries, the film invites viewers to question the ecological impact of architecture on the world. Blatantly dazzling, epic-scale filmmaking in the tradition of BARAKA and KOYAANISQATSI that goes beyond architecture to take us into the secret world of rocks and stones. Watch the mind-blowing trailer below, then don’t miss this incredible, immersive experience.
