Middle-aged
Magdalena has lost contact with her son after he took off with a friend
from their home town of Guanajuato to cross the border into the U.S.,
hopeful to find work. Desperate to find out what happened to him—and to
know whether or not he’s even alive—she embarks on an ever-expanding and
increasingly dangerous journey to discover the truth. Winner of the Gotham Award for Best International Film and the Audience Award and Best Screenplay prize at the Sundance Film Festival.

In Arabic. Winner of the Lion of the Future Award for best Debut Feature at the Venice Film Festival, You Will Die at Twenty is visually sumptuous "coming-of-death" fable. During her son's naming ceremony, a Sheikh predicts that Sakina's child will die at the age of 20. Haunted by this prophecy, Sakina becomes overly protective of her son Muzamil, who grows up knowing about his fate. As Muzamil escapes Sakina's ever-watchful eye, he encounters friends, ideas and challenges that make him question his destiny. Sudan's first Oscar submission, this is an auspicious debut and a moving meditation on what it means to live in the present.  M.C. Escher: Journey to Infinity thru Thurs Mar 4 $12. for a 5-day rental (not rated) 1 hr 30 min Some subtitles The story of world famous Dutch graphic artist M.C Escher (1898-1972). Equal parts history, psychology, and psychedelia, Robin Lutz’s entertaining, eye-opening portrait gives us the man through his own words and images: diary musings, excerpts from lectures, correspondence and more. The
film looks at Escher’s legacy: one can see tributes to his work in
movies, in fiction, on posters, on tattoos, and elsewhere throughout our
culture; indeed, few fine artists of the 20th century can lay claim to
such popular appeal.
 Museum Town thru Thurs Mar 4 $12. for a 5-day rental (not rated) 1 hr 30 min The story of a unique museum, the small town it calls home,
and the great risk, hope, and power of art to transform a desolate
post-industrial city.
In 2017, MASS MoCA became the largest museum for contemporary art in the world—but just three decades before, its vast brick buildings were the abandoned relics of a massive shuttered factory. MUSEUM TOWN traces the story of how a small rural Massachusetts town went from economic collapse to art mecca. With appearances by artists ranging from James Turrell to David Byrne, narration by Meryl Streep, and a soundtrack from John Stirratt of Wilco, MUSEUM TOWN captures the meeting of small-town USA and the global art world as it tells a tale that is, like any great artwork, soulful, thought-provoking and unforgettable.

Behind the gates of this palm tree-lined fantasyland, Some Kind of Heaven invests in the dreams and desires of a small group of Villages residents -- and one interloper -- who are unable to find happiness within the community’s pre-packaged paradise. With strikingly composed cinematography, this candy-colored documentary offers a tender and surreal look at the never-ending quest for finding meaning and love in life’s final act.

question their place in the world and what their future might be. With
their roots in the wilderness, the nine children and their parents
struggle to find a way to keep their family united in the concrete
jungle.
