Lineup

  • MEMORIA

    Fri, June 24, 7:30–SOLD OUT; Sat, June 25, 7:30
    From the extraordinary mind of Palme D’or winning director Apichatpong Weerasethakul, and starring Academy Award winner Tilda Swinton, comes a bewildering drama about a Scottish woman, who, after hearing a loud ‘bang’ at daybreak, begins experiencing a mysterious sensory syndrome while traversing the jungles of Colombia.

  • FIRE OF LOVE

    Sat, June 25, 5:30; Sun, June 26, 7:30
    Katia and Maurice Krafft loved two things — each other and volcanoes. For two decades, the daring French volcanologist couple were seduced by the thrill and danger of this elemental love triangle. They roamed the planet, chasing eruptions and their aftermath, documenting their discoveries in stunning photographs and breathtaking film.

  • ALI & AVA

    Sun, June 26, 5:30
    Lonely for different reasons, Ali and Ava connect through a shared affection for their young acquaintance, Sofia. As they get to know each other, sparks fly and a deep connection begins to grow. However, the ghosts of their respective pasts threaten to overshadow their newfound passion. Featuring the infectious music of Sylvan Esso and imbued with humor, ALI AND AVA is a compelling and contemporary love story.
