It uncovers a Silicon Valley company who designed a smartphone-type device, complete with emojis, that was years ahead of its time. The film features interviews and archival footage of past employees, now hugely successful names in their own right, and spotlights a timeline of technological innovation and analyzes how timing is paramount. (90 minutes)

Arguably one of the best sci-fi films ever made, this 1982 classic follows Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford) on his pursuit to find and retire four “replicants” that have come to the Earth illegally. (117 minutes)

The film was directed by Ridley Scott, but it infamously has several versions, for better or worse. We are showing the Final Cut which is meant to be the closest to Scott’s true vision for the film. No matter the version, its influence on the genre is monumental, and we hope you will experience it again (or for the first time!) with us here at the Hipp Cinema!

Werner Herzog and André Singer’s riveting documentary, filled with unforgettable archive materials and based on three long interviews, provides incredible access to, arguably, the world’s greatest  living politician. Now 87 and battling illness, the visionary Mikhail Gorbachev, former General Secretary of the U.S.S.R, has mellowed and slowed down. Still, gently but resolutely, he is pushing towards his goals. Herzog, as on-screen interviewer, does not disguise his affection, celebrating Gorbachev’s three remarkable accomplishments: negotiations with the U.S. to reduce nuclear weapons; cessation of Soviet control of Eastern Europe and the reunification of

Germany; and the dissolution of the Soviet Union and Eastern Bloc. All of this in six years. One German  diplomat sums up Gorbachev’s approach: “The process went so quickly that …opponents were overcome by the reality of the situation.” Herzog and Singer remind us of the drastic and unforeseeable way the world changes. (90 minutes)

Bursting with the colorful street style & music of Nairobi’s vibrant youth culture, RAFIKI is a tender love story between two young women in a country that still criminalizes homosexuality. Kena and Ziki have long been told that “good Kenyan girls become good Kenyan wives” – but they yearn for something more. Despite the political rivalry between their families, the girls encourage each other to pursue their dreams in a conservative society. When love blossoms between them, Kena and Ziki must choose between happiness and safety.

Initially banned in Kenya for its positive portrayal of queer romance, RAFIKI won a landmark supreme court case chipping away at Kenyan anti-LGBT legislation. Featuring remarkable performances by newcomers Samantha Mugatsia and Sheila Munyiva, RAFIKI is a hip tale of first love “reminiscent of the early work of Spike Lee” (Screen Daily) that’s “impossible not to celebrate” (Variety)!
