The Sun Never Sets

Sat, Aug 22 at 2:30pm: Sneak Preview + Q&A with stars Dakota Fanning and Cory Michael Smith

Free-spirited Wendy (Dakota Fanning) is at a crossroads in her relationship with older divorced dad Jack (Jake Johnson, New Girl) that is only further complicated when an old flame (Cory Michael Smith, Sentimental Value) re-enters her life. Set in perpetually sunny summertime Anchorage and featuring a career-best performance by Fanning, THE SUN NEVER SETS is a funny and endearing return to form for mumblecore auteur Joe Swanberg. 

Regular engagement begins Fri, Sep 4. Showtimes to be announced.

Official selection: SXSW

“Marks a confident return for Swanberg, bolstered by a stellar performance from Fanning and a thoughtful, often painful exploration of love, growth, and the realization that fulfillment doesn’t always come from another person.” – Film Inquiry

The Vanishing Song

One gibbon. One call. One chance.

Cut off from his kind, a lone gibbon calls out from a vanishing forest patch in the heart of a Malaysian metro — and a team races to reach him before time runs out.

Han is a wild lar gibbon living where he shouldn’t be — trapped between highways and housing estates in a Malaysian city, swinging through power lines, his haunting calls answered by no one. As residents, conservationists, and wildlife authorities unite to translocate him to a national park, one question remains: leave him, move him, or risk losing him altogether? Inspired by the late Dr. Jane Goodall, The Vanishing Song follows the race to get him home.

A play by Martin Crimp, after Molière

Directed by Indhu Rubasingham

Award-winner Sandra Oh (Killing Eve) plays the title role in this razor-sharp reimagining of Molière’s classic dark comedy.

Telling the truth isn’t always that simple. Alice, a brilliant novelist, despises the carefully constructed lies of modern society. But the more she challenges those around her, the fiercer the backlash becomes. Soon, she must confront the price of speaking her truth in a world that would rather silence her.

Dream of Birds

A unique study led by Argentine physicist Gabriel Mindlin explores a common species of sparrows that use song in its ritual courtship (and even sing in their dreams.) While tracing how their melodies change over the years, he notes some falling into disuse. Through mathematical models, Gabriel and his team attempt to reintroduce the lost melodies, raising questions about the power of music and the rituals of love—not only among birds, but also in the rhythms that shape human relationships.

Like a specter in the darkness, he demands the body of his brother who died earlier that day on the site. He will hound the two men all night long until they return it, as Leone watches the disaster play out before her.
