Bad Education
April 22nd - 28th "Mr. Almodóvar's fantastic and unconventional film—and Mr. García Bernal’s astonishing passion, tenderness, vulnerability and magnetic velocity in it—are blazing headlights . . . " – Rex Reed. "A rapturous masterwork." – Rolling Stone. "The most brazenly, deliciously gay film Almodovar has ever made." – Metro Weekly. "This is a disturbing film that challenges the viewer’s comfort. It also challenges you to keep up as it jumps stylistically from comedy to romance to drama to a film-noir thriller." – Minneapolis Star Tribune. The film begins in Madrid in the 1980s, where a young gay director is seeking inspiration. A young man (Gael García Bernal) pays the director a visit claiming to be a school friend—and a boyhood love. He leaves a script based on their youthful experiences in the ’60s that involved Father Manolo, the school principal and their literature teacher. The three characters meet again at the end of the ’70s and in the ’80s, and on each occasion they learn more about the lives and deaths of those closest to them. The director flits back and forth as he pieces together the segments of the puzzle. Nothing is as it appears on the surface. Please be advised this film is rated NC-17. APRIL 22-28 109min/2004/Spain/subt./NC-17

Born Into Brothels - HELD OVER!
April 28th - May 1st  Best Documentary, 2005 Academy AwardsAudience Award, Sundance Film Festival Audience Choice Award, Documentary Prize, Bermuda International Film Festival Best Film, Cleveland International Film Festival Audience Award, Full Frame Documentary Film Festival Best Documentary/Non-Fiction Film, Los Angeles Film Critics Association Best Documentary, National Board of Review Best Documentary, Seattle International Film Festival "The specter of long odds and narrow choices shades every frame of the film, yet the tone is often buoyant and legitimately inspirational." - Village Voice British-born photojournalist Zana Briski overcame barriers of language, culture, and ethnicity when she immersed herself into an impoverished and illegal neighborhood in the Third World metropolis of Calcutta, India. An award-winning photographer, Briski befriended the children of Sonagachi (the city's red light district), starting a photography workshop for them and equipping them each with their own camera. The transformative power of this simple object is remarkable; within weeks, the children show new spirit and several have discovered a talent for the art. Briski and her co-director, Ross Kaufman, follow the children as they filter their marginalized, forgotten world through the camera lens. Over the course of the film, a central narrative unfolds--the children's quest, fueled by their newfound hope and strength, to leave the brothels for a better life. APRIL 15-21 2004 85mins/India/R/subt
