FEBRUARY 28 - MARCH 2
Ingrid (Julianne Moore) and Martha (Tilda Swinton) were close friends in their youth, when they worked together at the same magazine. Ingrid went on to become an autofiction novelist while Martha became a war reporter, and they were separated by the circumstances of life. After years of being out of touch, they meet again in an extreme but strangely sweet situation. Anchored by a pair of terrific performances swathed in vivid colors, Spanish auteur Pedro Almodóvar's English language feature debut attests to his universal fluency in provocative and beautiful filmmaking.

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.
