WINTER in WARTIME
June 13th thru 18th
8pm Rated R
Runtime: 103 minutes

Nazi-occupied Holland, 1945. In a snow-covered village, thirteen-year-old MICHIEL (Martijn Lakemeier) is drawn into the Resistance when he aids a wounded British paratrooper. Michiel‘s boyish sense of defiance and adventure soon turns to danger and desperation, as Michiel is forced to act without knowing whom to trust among the adults and townspeople around him. Wartime‘s harsh reality encroaches on childhood innocence as Michiel confronts good and evil, courage and duplicity, and his own burden of responsibility.

BILL CUNNINGHAM NEW YORK
a film by Richard Press
June 20th thru 22nd, June 24th & 25th
6pm

“We all get dressed for Bill,” says Vogue editrix Anna Wintour. The “Bill” in question is 80+ New York Times photographer Bill Cunningham. For decades, this Schwinn-riding cultural anthropologist has been obsessively and inventively chronicling fashion
trends and high society charity soirées for the Times Style section in his columns “On the Street” and “Evening Hours.” Documenting uptown fixtures (Wintour, Tom Wolfe, Brooke Astor, David Rockefeller—who all appear in the film out of their love for Bill), downtown eccentrics and everyone in between, Cunningham’s enormous body of work is more reliable than any catwalk as an expression of time, place and individual flair. In turn, Bill Cunningham New York is a delicate, funny and often poignant portrait of a dedicated artist whose only wealth is his own humanity and unassuming grace.

THE FIRST GRADER
A Justin Chadwick Film
June 20th thru 22nd, June 24th & 25th
8pm

In a small, remote, primary school in the Kenyan bush, hundreds of children are jostling for a chance at free education newly promised by the Kenyan government.  One applicant creates a stir when he knocks on the door of the school -- Maruge (Litondo), an old Mau Mau veteran in his eighties.  Having fought for the liberation of his country, Maruge is desperate to learn how to read at this late stage of his life —even if it means sitting in a classroom alongside six-year-olds.

Impressed by his tenacity, head teacher Jane Obinchu (Harris), supports his struggle to gain admission.  Together they face fierce opposition from parents and officials who don’t want to waste a precious spot at the school on an old man.
