2011, France/Germany/Poland/Spain, in English.  Directed by Roman Polanski, Rated R, 80 minutes, 35mm print.

Carnage is a razor sharp, biting comedy centered on parental differences. After two boys duke it out on a playground, the parents of the “victim” invite the parents of the “bully” over to work out their issues. A polite discussion of childrearing soon escalates into verbal warfare, with all four parents revealing their true colors.

Staring Academy Award winners Jodie Foster, Kate Winslet, and Christoph Waltz and Academy Award nominee John C. Reilly.

2011, Finland / France, Directed by Aki Kaurismäki, Not Rated, 93 minutes, 35mm print, in French with English subtitles.

In this warmhearted portrait of the French harbor city that gives the film its name, fate throws young African refugee Idrissa (Blondin Miguel) into the path of Marcel Marx (André Wilms), a well-spoken bohemian who works as a shoeshiner.

With innate optimism and the unwavering support of his community, Marcel stands up to officials doggedly pursuing the boy for deportation. A political fairy tale that exists somewhere between the reality of contemporary France and the classic cinema of Jean-Pierre Melville and Marcel Carné, Le Havre is a charming, deadpan delight.

Friday and Saturday at 7:00 and 9:00 pm; Sunday through Wednesday at 7:00 pm only; Saturday and Sunday matinees at 2:00 pm.

February 24 – February 29

2011, Sweden, Directed by Göran Olsson, Not Rated, 100 minutes, 35mm print, in English.

The Black Power Mixtape 1967-1975 mobilizes a treasure trove of 16mm material shot by Swedish journalists who came to the US drawn by stories of urban unrest and revolution.

Gaining access to many of the leaders of the Black Power Movement – Stokely Carmichael, Bobby Seale, Angela Davis and Eldridge Cleaver among them – the filmmakers captured them in intimate moments and remarkably unguarded interviews.

Thirty years later, this lush collection was found languishing in the basement of Swedish Television. Director Göran Olsson and co-producer Danny Glover bring this footage to light in a mosaic of images, music and narration chronicling the evolution one of our nation’s most indelible turning points, the Black Power movement.

Friday and Saturday at 7:00 and 9:00 pm; Sunday through Thursday at 7:00 pm only; Saturday and Sunday matinees at 2:00 pm.
