*Get busy living or get busy dying.* One of the most beloved movies of all time (it’s currently the top-rated film on IMDB), this adaptation of Stephen King’s novella finds hope and friendship in the most unlikely of places. Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins) arrives at Shawshank State Prison in 1947 and quickly develops a bond with Ellis “Red” Redding (Morgan Freeman), another inmate serving a life sentence. As the years pass, the two men hold on to their dream of seeing the outside world again, but their fragile hope is complicated by both Andy’s insistence that he’s really innocent and his participation in a financial scheme run by the prison’s warden. Initially a box-office disappointment, this thoughtful drama garnered universal acclaim, 7 Oscar nominations and plenty of word of mouth love and grew to the beloved staple it is today and the top video rental of 1995!

Vibrant, emotional, and infused with humor, *The Queen of My Dreams* is a heartfelt mother-daughter dramedy that bridges continents and generations. Set between Toronto and the colorful streets of Karachi, the film follows 22-year-old queer Muslim grad student Azra Malik, who is estranged from her conservative mother, Mariam. When her father dies suddenly during a trip to Pakistan, Azra is pulled back to her ancestral home for the burial and into a journey through memory, identity, and reconciliation.

Barred from participating in the funeral rites, Azra flashes back to key moments in her family’s past: Mariam’s rebellious youth in 1969 Karachi, and their shared struggles as immigrants in 1989 Nova Scotia, where Mariam turned to religion to cope with her husband’s illness and Azra’s queerness. In an unexpected moment between Azra and her dementia-stricken grandmother, a moment of revelation allows Azra to begin the process of mending the long-fractured relationship with her mother.

Evoking the bold colors and joyful spirit of classic Bollywood, writer/director Fawzia Mirza’s luminous debut is a semi-autobiographical celebration of family, queerness, and the complex stories that shape us. Anchored by Amrit Kaur’s award-winning dual performance, *The Queen of My Dreams* resonates with anyone who’s ever struggled to reconcile where they come from with who they are.

C’mon, if you’re going to make a film about a demon superhero from Hell who fights for the good guys, you just obviously have to get Guillermo del Toro (the world’s biggest fan of movie monsters) to direct it and Ron Perlman (a genius at emoting while buried in prosthetics) to star in it, right? These two regular collaborators bring to life Hellboy, the wisecracking comic-book hero created by Mike Mignola, in this hidden gem of the 2000s superhero boom. Selma Blair, Doug Jones, Rupert Evans, and John Hurt co-star as the other members of Hellboy’s team, who are tasked with taking on supernatural threats to humanity — and this time out, they’re pitted against Nazi occultists looking to take over the world!

In 1987, at the age of just 21, Marlee Matlin shattered expectations as the first Deaf actor to win an Academy Award® for her groundbreaking performance in *Children of a Lesser God*. Catapulted into the spotlight, she seized the moment to challenge an industry unprepared for her immense talent, emerging as a trailblazer not only as a performer but also as an author and activist. Matlin&#8217;s incredible journey continued with standout roles in acclaimed projects such as *The West Wing* and the Oscar®-winning *CODA*, all while relentlessly advocating for greater inclusion and accessibility both within Hollywood and beyond its borders. Matlin opens up about her personal and professional struggles – her meteoric rise to fame, the challenges of navigating a predominantly hearing industry, the pain of a tumultuous high-profile relationship, getting sober and years of being overlooked by Hollywood – alongside her many triumphs. 

Director Shoshannah Stern reimagines traditional documentary storytelling, elevating ASL as the film’s heart and soul while removing conventional voiceovers and including open captions, creating an authentic and visually immersive experience. Through split-screen interviews with both Deaf and hearing contributors, the film weaves a poignant and inspiring narrative of Matlin’s legendary career, highlighting her tireless fight for inclusion and representation in an entertainment world that at first had no place for her.

Acropolis Cinema presents *The Ballad of Suzanne Césaire* (Dir. Madeleine Hunt-Ehrlich, 2024).

An actress and new mother (played by Zita Hanrot) is haunted by voices as she embarks on inhabiting the role of surrealist writer Suzanne Roussi-Césaire. In the sleepy palm groves of the tropics, a small group of filmmakers and actors confront the history of writer Suzanne Césaire in her youth and then stage scenes from her life, troubling the “paradise” of historical memory. Moving between narrative filmmaking and abstraction—a night at a 1940s cafe, and the garden where a film’s cast and crew discuss and bring to life the missing pieces of the writer’s legacy—this is a film that leaves room for the unknown. This is Madeleine Hunt-Ehrlich’s first feature. The film stars César-award-winning actor Zita Hanrot and Motell Foster, and features a soundtrack by singer Sabine McCalla.

### **ABOUT THE FILM:**

In the late 1970s, celebrated director Francis Ford Coppola (THE GODFATHER, THE CONVERSATION) and his cast, crew, and family ventured into the dense jungles of the Philippines to begin work on what would eventually become his masterpiece, APOCALYPSE NOW. But the journey from page to screen soon spiraled into a hellish, life-threatening nightmare that echoed the film’s narrative. Plagued with adversity, one of the most influential films ever made had one of the most notorious shoots in cinema history that few survived unscathed.

Meticulously documented at the time by Eleanor Coppola (PARIS CAN WAIT), Fax Bahr (IN LIVING COLOR), and George Hickenlooper (DOGTOWN) revisited the footage in 1991 and filmed new interviews with the cast and crew, resulting in HEARTS OF DARKNESS: A FILMMAKER’S APOCALYPSE, a groundbreaking and intimate portrait of what went into making one of the best films ever made. HEARTS OF DARKNESS is the ultimate feature-length documentary, capturing the explosive events that led to APOCALYPSE NOW becoming a worldwide classic film and a constant favorite with film critics.

The Wedding Banquet

Funny Games 1997

Enjoy a short program before the film

Michael Haneke’s most notorious provocation, Funny Games spares no detail in its depiction of the agony of a bourgeois family held captive at their vacation home by a pair of white-gloved young men. In a series of escalating “games,” the sadistic duo subject their victims to unspeakable physical and psychological torture over the course of a night. A home-invasion thriller in which the genre’s threat of bloodshed is made stomach-churningly real, the film ratchets up shocks even as its executioners interrupt the action to address the audience, drawing queasy attention to the way that cinema milks pleasure from pain and stokes our appetite for atrocity. With this controversial treatise on violence and entertainment, Haneke issued a summation of his cinematic philosophy, implicating his audience in a spectacle of unbearable cruelty.

Shortbus

Enjoy a short curated pre-show before the film.

John Cameron Mitchell’s Shortbus explores the lives of several emotionally challenged characters as they navigate the comic and tragic intersections between love and sex in and around a modern-day underground salon. A sex therapist who has never had an orgasm, a dominatrix who is unable to connect, a gay couple who are deciding whether to open up their relationship, and the people who weave in and out of their lives, all converge on a weekly gathering called Shortbus: a mad nexus of art, music, politics, and polysexual carnality.

Set in a post-9/11, Bush-exhausted New York City, Shortbus tells its story with sexual frankness, suggesting new ways to reconcile questions of the mind, pleasures of the flesh, and imperatives of the heart.
