PARTHENOPE

Paolo Sorrentino

  • 136 minutes
  • 2024
  • English and Italian with English subtitles
  • MARCH 7 - 9

    From Academy Award-winning filmmaker Paolo Sorrentino comes a monumental and deeply romantic story of a lifetime. Parthenope (Celeste Dalla Porta), born in the sea of Naples in 1950, searches for happiness over the long summers of her youth, falling in love with her home city and its many memorable characters (including the lonely American writer, John Cheever played by Gary Oldman). A Felliniesque meditation on youth, beauty, freedom, and the ephemeral nature of all three, questioning what deeper meaning and fulfillment can be found in a life so often informed by external realities.

    Saturday, March 8 --- 4:30pm and 7:30pm

    WINNER! ACADEMY AWARD BEST DOCUMENTARY FEATURE

    Basel Adra, a young Palestinian activist from Masafer Yatta, has been fighting his community’s mass expulsion by the Israeli occupation since childhood. Basel documents the gradual erasure of Masafer Yatta, as soldiers destroy the homes of families - the largest single act of forced transfer ever carried out in the occupied West Bank. He crosses paths with Yuval, an Israeli journalist who joins his struggle, and for over half a decade they fight against the expulsion while growing closer. Their complex bond is haunted by the extreme inequality between them: Basel, living under a brutal military occupation, and Yuval, unrestricted and free. NO OTHER LAND was co-created by a Palestinian-Israeli collective of four young activists during the darkest, most terrifying times in the region, as an act of creative resistance to Apartheid and a search for a path towards equality and justice.

    On an empty road in the middle of the night, Shula stumbles across the body of her uncle.
