Things To ComeMarch 16th"Things to Come is an unusual picture, a fantasy, if you will, with overtones of the Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon comic strips. But it is, as well, a picture with ideas which have been expressed dramatically and with visual fascination " — New York Times  to this filmA Cinema Lounge Event preceded by a bevy of shorts @ 8:00pm |

A Single ManMarch 26th - April 1st Best Actor, BAFTA AwardsOutstanding Performance Award, Santa Barbara International Film Festival Best Actor, San Francisco Film Critics Circle Best Actor, Best Score, San Diego Film Critics Society Awards COLA, California on Location Awards Best Actor, Vancouver Film Critics Circle Queer Lion and Volpi Cup, Venice Film Festival Best Art Direction, Actor, Satellite Awards Best Actor, Austin Film Critics Association  Best Actor, Oscar nomination"This is the first movie directed by Tom Ford, the former fashion designer, and he proves a born filmmaker with a rapturous eye." — Entertainment Weekly "We're always looking for those performances that truly define an actor, where we can sit back and simply watch the talent soar. For Colin Firth, A Single Man is that film." — LA Times "Ford's eye for period detail is exact; brief cutaways, incisive dialogue, and charged glances telegraph the cold-war paranoia and sexual alienation of the early 60s." — Chicago Reader A Single Man, based on the novel of the same name by Christopher Isherwood, unfolds in Los Angeles during 1962, at the height of the Cuban missile crisis. Colin Firth delivers an Academy Award nominated performance as a British college professor who is struggling to find meaning to his life after the death of his long time partner, Jim (Matthew Goode). George dwells on the past and cannot see his future as we follow him through a single day, where a series of events and encounters, ultimately leads him to decide if there is a meaning to life after Jim. George is consoled by his closest friend Charley (Julianne Moore), a 48 year old beauty who is wrestling with her own questions about the future. The story is a romantic tale of love interrupted, the isolation that is an inherent part of the human condition, and ultimately the importance of the seemingly smaller moments in life. Directed and co-written by fashion legend Tom Ford, the film exhibits impeccably detailed costumes and design, but the award-winning performances have made his first film a critical darling. 1hr 41min/ USA/ R

The Secret of KellsApril 2nd - April 8thBest Film, Annecy Animated Film Festival Audience Award, Edinburgh Film Festival Best Animation Film, European Film Awards Cartoon d'Or, Cartoon Forum, Europe Directors Finders Award, Directors Finders Series, Ireland Audience Award, Best Irish Film, Dublin International Film Festival Special Recognition, Zagreb World Festival of Animated Films Best Animated Feature, Oscar Nomination"With its jewel-bright colors and intricate use of lines, the result is absolutely luscious to behold." — Variety "Director Tomm Moore and his team really excel themselves in [the film's] forest sequences, where Irish monasticism meets Busby Berkeley." — Screen International "The notion that preserving and disseminating knowledge are the best safeguards against evil is a welcome one in a time where rational thought seems to be losing its value. [T]he film deserves to be seen by as many people as it can reach." — Examiner.com This nominee for the Academy's Best Animation Feature is a family film unlike any you've ever seen! Adventure, action and danger await 12-year-old Brendan (newcomer Evan McGuire) who must fight Vikings and a serpent god to find a crystal and complete the legendary Book of Kells. Brendan is hard at work with his uncle, Abbott Cellach (Brendan Gleeson) and the other monks, helping to strengthen the abbey walls as protection against the Viking raids. But a new life of adventure begins with the arrival of Brother Aidan (Mick Lally), a celebrated master illuminator who initiates Brendan into the art of illumination, awakening his hidden, but extraordinary talents. In order to finish the magnificent book, Brendan has to overcome his deepest fears on a secret quest that will take him for the first time ever, beyond the abbey walls into the enchanted forest where dangerous mythical creatures hide. It is here that he meets the fairy Aisling (Christen Mooney), a mysterious young white wolf/girl, who will become his closest friend and helper. But with the terrifying Viking Hordes closing in, will Brendan succeed in his quest to illuminate the darkness and prove that enlightenment is the best fortification against barbarians? 1hr 15min/ France/ in English/ Ireland: PG

AjamiApril 9th - April 15thBest Film, Director, Screenplay, Editing, Israeli Academy Awards Golden Camera, Cannes Film Festival Youth Jury Award, Flanders International Film Festival Best Film, Screenplay, Audience Award, Thessaloniki Film Festival Best Foreign Language Film, Oscar nomination"You emerge from Ajami moved and also a little worn out, but mostly grateful for the heart, craft and intelligence the movie has shown." — NY Times "Rarely has the tinderbox nature of the Middle East been so accurately lensed, on such an intimate scale, as in Scandar Copti and Yaron Shani's powerful Ajami." — Variety "a stylish and important step towards forming a more compelling, bravely engaging portrayal of a country in turmoil without disregarding its hypocrisies, corruption and seemingly never-ending suffering." — filmcritic.com Ajami is the debut from Israeli and Palestinian co-directors Yaron Shani and Scandar Copti, whose location filming, use of nonprofessional actors and balanced perspective lend a palpable authenticity to a complex, cross-cultural drama -- set in Jaffa’s multi-ethnic Ajami neighborhood, home to Jews, Muslims and Christians. The repercussions of a revenge killing reveal the cultural and religious tensions simmering beneath the surface: two young brothers fear assassination after their uncle wounds a local criminal; a young Palestinian refugee works illegally in Israel to finance his mother’s surgery; an Israeli woman and her affluent Palestinian boyfriend dream of building a life together; and a Jewish cop is obsessed with finding his missing brother. After premiering at Cannes and winning awards at festival across the globe, Ajami has been nominated for the Academy for Best Foreign Language Film. 2hrs/ Israel/ in Arabic and Hebrew/ NR

Earth DaysApril 16th - April 22ndNominated for Best Documentary Screenplay Award, Writers Guild of America "A quietly majestic survey of the hard-won successes and instructive failures of the American environmental movement." — Variety "At once regretful and optimistic, frustrated and proud. Mr. Stone has shown us the way; now all we need is the will." — NY Times "If you're feeling nostalgic for a time when the environmental movement was something everyone embraced, Robert Stone's Earth Days is bound to comfort -- and alarm." — Seattle Times It is now all the rage in the Age of Al Gore and Obama, but can you remember when everyone in America was not “Going Green”? Visually stunning, vastly entertaining and awe-inspiring, Earth Days’ secret weapon is a one-two punch of personal testimony and rare archival media. The extraordinary stories of the era’s pioneers—among them Former Secretary of the Interior Stewart Udall; biologist/Population Bomb author Paul Ehrlich; Whole Earth Catalog founder Stewart Brand; Apollo Nine astronaut Rusty Schweickart; and renewable energy pioneer Hunter Lovins—are beautifully illustrated with an incredible array of footage from candy-colored Eisenhower-era tableaux to classic tear-jerking 1970s anti-litterbug PSAs. Directed by acclaimed documentarian Robert Stone, Earth Days is both a poetic meditation on humanity's complex relationship with nature and an engaging history of the revolutionary achievements—and missed opportunities—of groundbreaking eco-activism. 1hr 30min/ USA/ All ages. Sponsored by the UF Office of Sustainability. Earth Day reception, Thursday, April 22 from 5:30-7:00pm
