Feb 10 - Paris (2008) France – 130 min. The City of Light becomes a vibrant "symphony," proving that even in a crowd of millions, our private heartbreaks are what truly connect us.
Feb 17 - Masaan (2015) India – 109 min. The sacred banks of the Ganges provide the backdrop for a powerful story of social barriers and personal rebirth. A masterful depiction of how the river of life carries us all, washing away the old to make room for the new.
Feb 24 – There is No Evil (2020) Iran – 150 min.Shot in secret and smuggled out of Iran, this anthology film comprises four moral tales about men faced with a simple yet unthinkable choice – to follow orders or resist and risk everything. Whatever they decide, it will directly or indirectly affect their lives, their relationships, and their consciences. Shot through with a sense of urgency, it is an incisive look at the moral strength and inner humanity of its protagonists.
March 3 - Intimate Stories (2002) Argentina – 102 min. A road movie along the wide-open Patagonian landscape where three characters travel the same path toward the same destination, highlighting the small coincidences that define us.
