Ne Zha II
Head-spinningly gorgeous in every frame, if also head-scratchingly impenetrable in many scenes (at least for some Western audiences), this mix of a 16th century novel, Chinese mythology and breathtaking digital imagery is already a worldwide box-office juggernaut. It's taken in about $2 billion worldwide (more than Inside Out 2, Hollywood's top-grossing animated film).

Local Filmmaker Series: Failed State
Join us for our Local Filmmaker Series: Failed State plus discussion with Christopher Jason Bell.
Dale is a worker in the service industry, delivering various items to a vast array of people in New York City. Covid and political turmoil does not stop him as he continues to traverse the busy streets keeping his bank account, bills and all, in the front of his mind. Also weighing heavily on his psyche is the loss of his mother whom he lived with until her passing. Dale’s only positive social interactions are with those he randomly happens upon: an overeager student, a grieving office employee, an overworked nurse, a body art performer, a fellow delivery person. Cracks begin to form when the death of a friend is communicated to him in a roundabout, inhuman way. The go-go-go mentality of his labor only makes things worse and sends him into a spiral of despair and disrepair.

Quiz Show Plus Discussion
Join us for a screening of this classic, made all the more special with a Q&A immediately following with casting director Karen Etcoff, who worked with Robert Redford for six months on the film.
Released in 1994, yet still urgent and relevant, "Quiz Show" was immediately embraced as an unmissable tale of moral ambiguity delving into themes of greed, cult of celebrity, ambition, the corrupting nature of power, and what happens when society's standards are eroded and the public loses faith in its own government. The film struck a chord with viewers and critics alike, Roger Ebert hailed it as "smart, subtle, and ruthless," going on to be nominated for several Oscars, including best picture and best director for Robert Redford.
