MINARI
A tender and sweeping story about what roots us, Minari follows a Korean-American family that moves to a tiny Arkansas farm in search of their own American Dream. The movie stars Steven Yeun as an insistently optimistic dad, coping with his wife’s horror at living in the middle of nowhere in a double-wide trailer. Joined by a quirky ungrandmotherly grandma, their world of snakes, tornadoes, culturally dense white folks, fires, and health scares threatens to turn into melodrama.
GLITCH IN THE MATRIX
What if we are living in a simulation, and the world as we know it is not real? To tackle this mind-bending idea, acclaimed filmmaker Rodney Ascher uses a noted speech from Philip K. Dick to dive down the rabbit hole of science, philosophy, and conspiracy theory. Leaving no stone unturned in exploring the unprovable, the film uses contemporary cultural touchstones like The Matrix, interviews with real people shrouded in digital avatars, and a wide array of voices, expert and amateur alike. If simulation theory is not science fiction but fact, and life is a video game being played by some unknowable entity, then who are we, really?
STRAY
Stray explores what it means to live as a being without status or security, following three stray dogs as they embark on inconspicuous journeys through Turkish society. Zeytin, fiercely independent, embarks on adventures through the city at night; Nazar, nurturing and protective, easily befriends the humans around her; while Kartal, a shy puppy living on the outskirts of a construction site, finds companions in the security guards who care for her. Director Elizabeth Lo’s award-winning film is a critical observation of human civilization through the unfamiliar gaze of dogs and a sensory voyage into new ways of seeing.

MIRROR
The classic Andrei Tarkovsky film in a stunning new restoration begins February 5. The director’s fourth feature is perhaps his greatest, most personal and evocative work.

A DOG CALLED MONEY

MC ESCHER: JOURNEY TO INFINITY
The story of world famous Dutch graphic artist M.C Escher (1898-1972).
