Mean Streets February 1 at 7:30 pm Dir. Martin Scorsese (USA, 1973) 112 min.  Mean Streets is a riveting contemporary film about low-life gangsters in New York's Little Italy that critic Pauline Kael later called "a true original, and a triumph of personal filmmaking." Starring Robert De Niro and Harvey Keitel in roles that announced their talent to the world, it set the stage for Scorsese's emergence as one of the greatest American filmmakers. |

Jesus of Montreal February 8 at 7:30 pm Dir. Denys Arcand (Canada, 1989) 120 min. In hip present-day Montreal, a group of actors stages the Passion in an outdoor, somewhat avant-garde style, led by the quietly charismatic and increasingly uncanny young man playing Christ. |

 |
The Tree of Life February 15 at 7:30 pm Dir. Terrence Malick (USA, 2011) 139 min. The Tree of Life is Malick's long-cherished project, a film that centers on a family in 1950’s Waco, Texas. This early life in Texas and these memories belong to Jack, a modern man seemingly ground down by the soulless glass-and-metal corporate world that surrounds him. |

For the Bible Tells Me So February 22 at 7:30 pm Dir. Karslake, (USA, 2007) 99 min. For the Bible Tells Me So is a compassionate and insightful documentary about the contemporary face of an old conflict between Christian fundamentalists and gay and lesbian people. The film looks deep into the hearts of several families--a few of them quite famous--that have struggled with making sense of having a homosexual son or daughter in the fold. |

The Night of the Hunter February 29 at 7:30 pm Dir. Charles Laughton (USA, 1955) 93 min. The Night of the Hunter—incredibly, the only film the great actor Charles Laughton ever directed—is truly a standalone masterwork. A horror movie with qualities of a Grimm fairy tale, it stars a sublimely sinister Robert Mitchum as a traveling preacher whose nefarious motives for marrying a fragile widow are uncovered by her terrified young children. |

Blue Velvet March 21 at 7:30 pm Dir. David Lynch (USA, 1986) 120 min. David Lynch peeks behind the picket fences of small-town America to reveal a corrupt shadow world of malevolence, sadism, and madness. From the opening shots Lynch turns the Technicolor picture postcard images of middle class homes and tree-lined lanes into a dreamy vision on the edge of nightmare. |

Wings Of Desire March 28 at 7:30 pm Dir. Wim Wenders (Germany, 1987) 128 min. Directed by Wim Wenders and co-written by Peter Handke, this enchanting film about the joy of life is a truly original concept and screenplay. A lonely angel roams the streets of Berlin providing comfort to mortals in need. But when he is drawn into the life of a beautiful and troubled trapeze artist, he experiences love for the first time and does everything in his power to be seen, heard and felt by her. |

Breaking the Waves April 4 at 7:30 pm Dir. Lars Von Trier (Denmark, 1996) 159 min. Set in a rugged, coastal village in Scotland in the 1970’s, this extraordinary film by Lars von Trier is concerned with a naive girl named Bess, who holds regular conversations with God and whose pure and intensely personal faith is hardly tolerated by the gruesome Calvinist elders of her church. |
|
 |
The White Ribbon April 11 at 7:30 pm Dir. Michael Haneke (Austria, 2009) 144 min. The White Ribbon is set just before World War I in a village in northern Germany, where a series of strange and sinister occurrences take place over several months. Nothing is completely spelled out in Haneke's scheme, which hints and insinuates as it weaves an unsettling and enigmatic spell. |

The Stoning of Soraya M. April 18 at 7:30 pm Dir. Cyrus Nowasteh (USA, 2008) 114 min. In the most powerful motion pictures, the message tends to be embedded so deeply that it isn't always apparent at first glance. In The Stoning of Soraya M., the point of the project—to bring a heinous cultural practice to light—drowns out all other concerns. The film is based on Iranian journalist Freidoune Sahebjam’s international bestselling non-fiction book of the same title. |

After many attempts she and her brother convince their mother to give them her last bit of money. |
