14th
Written in the wreckage of the Civil War, the 14th Amendment
was meant to codify the promise of freedom and citizenship. Instead, it has
become a permanent argument. Oscar nominee DuVernay’s new documentary pulls
this fight out of the footnotes and into the present, chronicling a vicious
battle that has raged for more than 150 years. Threading deep archival
scholarship with today’s headlines, 14TH brings together legal minds,
politicians, historians and cultural voices to explore a question America still
hasn’t settled: Who gets to belong?
Open Fri Nov 27, showtimes to be announced.

Concert pianist Lucy (Léa Seydoux) has just relocated her family to a country house hoping to ease her husband Philip’s (Laurence Rupp) severe burnout. Before they have a chance to set up their new home, an early morning police visit tears their life apart. Trapped between the man she loves and the fear of what he may have done, Lucy must face the situation alone as her world unravels. With a cast that includes Academy Award nominee Catherine Deneuve, Kreutzer’s (Corsage) new drama asks what we do when someone we love turns out to be someone we never really knew.
Avedon
From world leaders to pop culture icons, and international supermodels, Richard Avedon’s influence helped create the blueprint for our image-driven world. His photographs didn’t just reflect culture, they shaped it.
AVEDON traces the life and legacy of an artist who used photography to reinvent the world around him. Drawing on unprecedented access to his personal archives—never-before-seen stills, intimate behind-the-lens footage, and new interviews with his closest collaborators—the film explores how his singular eye both reflected and reshaped the visual language of the 20th century, and why even the most iconic image is only half the story.
Additional showtimes for Nov 10-12 to be announced.
A Fox Under a Pink Moon
Sixteen-year-old Soraya is a strong-willed Afghan sculptor and illustrator trying to find a way out of Iran and join her mother in Austria. This subtly textured self-portrait, shot by Soraya with her cell phone camera and directed by Mehrdad Oskouei, interweaves Soraya’s illustrations with chilling scenes of her escape attempts, political news from Afghanistan, and videos in which she sings and dances, or shows the bruises inflicted by her violent husband. Through masterful cinematography often filmed in dangerous conditions – and the protagonist’s radiant energy – this empowering collaboration between an established filmmaker and a young new artist enables her to reclaim her identity.
