Portrait of a Lady on Fire

Portrait Of A Lady On Fire

Directed by Céline Sciamma. Starring Noémie Merlant and Adèle Haenel. Winner of a coveted Cannes prize and one of the best-reviewed films of 2019, PORTRAIT OF A LADY ON FIRE solidifies Céline Sciamma as one of the most exciting filmmakers working in the world today. Noémie Merlant and Adèle Haenel turn the subtle act of looking into a dangerous, engrossing thrill, crafting the most breathtaking and elegant performances of the year. To watch Marianne and Héloïse fall in love is to see love itself invented onscreen. With contemporary themes in period dress, PORTRAIT OF A LADY ON FIRE is one of the greatest love stories ever told.

Little Sicily

Nina Juliano

In 1950s Little Italy, Delaware, a teenage girl from an immigrant family must decide whether to destroy another woman's life to save her own. Her sister is the only one she can trust to hide her secret from her strict Sicilian family. Together, they try to weasel out of trouble - but if they fail, the consequences could lead to someone's death.

GraceLand

Bonnie Kathleen Ryan

Prissy (Anna Camp) has worked hard to create a perfectly normal life for her family. But tensions run high when Grace (Katie Beth West) claims to be the reincarnation of Elvis Presley. Equal parts worried for her child, as well as how this behavior reflects upon her and disrupts the perfect family life she's worked so hard to achieve, Prissy will have to search her heart to figure out what's most important. GraceLand uses the music of Elvis Presley and a young person's sense of connection to him to explore self-identity, gender, and acceptance.

  • Bolsas del Futuro is a project by Casa Tamarindo that explores how we can use “the bag” as a platform to create a more sustainable world. We see each one of our bags as art pieces that question what sustainable craftsmanship is in the 21st century. All of our bags are intentionally made on both sides of the most crossed border in the world (Tijuana and San Diego in case you didn’t know) We collaborate with local artisans to develop a regional style that is uniquely our own. Our bags are made with the following waste materials: - Discarded flour sacs from our local bakeries. - Old seatbelts from cars at our junkyards. - Dead-stock upholstery fabrics from two brothers that make couches. We work with a local factory that has a long history of making heavy-duty bags for the outdoors. All of our bags are high-quality, limited-edition, and they even contain a laptop sleeve! 95.00 1028

The Love Witch 2020
A Film by Anna Biller

The Love Witch

A modern day witch uses spells and magic to get men to fall in love with her, in a tribute to 1960s Technicolor thrillers. Elaine, a beautiful young witch, is determined to find a man to love her. In her gothic Victorian apartment she makes spells and potions, and then picks up men and seduces them. However, her spells work too well, leaving her with a string of hapless victims. When she finally meets the man of her dreams, her desperation to be loved will drive her to the brink of insanity and murder. With a visual style that pays tribute to Technicolor thrillers of the ‘60s, THE LOVE WITCH explores female fantasy and the repercussions of pathological narcissism.

  • Bolsas del Futuro is a project by Casa Tamarindo that explores how we can use “the bag” as a platform to create a more sustainable world. We see each one of our bags as art pieces that question what sustainable craftsmanship is in the 21st century. All of our bags are intentionally made on both sides of the most crossed border in the world (Tijuana and San Diego in case you didn’t know) We collaborate with local artisans to develop a regional style that is uniquely our own. Our bags are made with the following waste materials: - Discarded flour sacs from our local bakeries. - Old seatbelts from cars at our junkyards. - Dead-stock upholstery fabrics from two brothers that make couches. We work with a local factory that has a long history of making heavy-duty bags for the outdoors. All of our bags are high-quality, limited-edition, and they even contain a laptop sleeve! 95.00 1028

Expired

Presented by

Portrait of a Lady on Fire
With the updated stay-at-home order, we, along with our community partners and sponsors would like to minimize any potential exposure to our guests and staff, so we have decided to limit our December screening to a one-day (Saturday, December 12)

Portrait of a Lady on Fire

Directed by Céline Sciamma. Starring Noémie Merlant and Adèle Haenel. Winner of a coveted Cannes prize and one of the best-reviewed films of 2019, PORTRAIT OF A LADY ON FIRE solidifies Céline Sciamma as one of the most exciting filmmakers working in the world today. Noémie Merlant and Adèle Haenel turn the subtle act of looking into a dangerous, engrossing thrill, crafting the most breathtaking and elegant performances of the year. To watch Marianne and Héloïse fall in love is to see love itself invented onscreen. With contemporary themes in period dress, PORTRAIT OF A LADY ON FIRE is one of the greatest love stories ever told.

Little Sicily

Nina Juliano

Delaware, a teenage girl from an immigrant family must decide whether to destroy another woman's life to save her own. Her sister is the only one she can trust to hide her secret from her strict Sicilian family. Together, they try to weasel out of trouble - but if they fail, the consequences could lead to someone's death.

Graceland

Bonnie Kathleen Ryan

Prissy (Anna Camp) has worked hard to create a perfectly normal life for her family. But tensions run high when Grace (Katie Beth West) claims to be the reincarnation of Elvis Presley. Equal parts worried for her child, as well as how this behavior reflects upon her and disrupts the perfect family life she's worked so hard to achieve, Prissy will have to search her heart to figure out what's most important. GraceLand uses the music of Elvis Presley and a young person's sense of connection to him to explore self-identity, gender, and acceptance.

A First

Melissa Dowler

In the summer of 1994, 14-year old Nisha is determined to help her best friend Darlene get ready for her first kiss. But as they consult Teen Beat and the Kama Sutra for guidance, complicated feelings emerge.

In Full Bloom

Maegan Houang

The story of Cecile, an older Vietnamese-American hoarder, whose life is upended when worms open a black hole in her house and threaten to take all of her stuff.
