Intro by Silver Spring-based author, producer and screenwriter George Pelecanos
More than 50 years after its release, Sam Peckinpah’s provocative and unsettlingly ambiguous psychological drama has lost none of its shocking potency. American mathematician David Sumner (Dustin Hoffman) and his British wife, Amy (Susan George), move into her former family farmhouse in a remote corner of Cornwall. After a group of local louts insinuate their way into the couple’s home as workmen, they attack Amy. The horror deepens when the men return to lay siege to the farm, but something awakens in David — "I will not allow violence against this house” — leading to a surprising, spectacularly violent showdown.

Winner of the Grand Jury Prize in the 2023 Sundance U.S. Documentary Competition, this beguiling documentary portrait follows poet and activist Nikki Giovanni as she approaches 80.

Looking back at a personal life and history cast in the long shadow of American racism and forward to hopeful, possible futures, Giovanni acts as our guide, with actress Taraji P. Henson reading her poems in voiceover.

Nominee, Best Documentary Feature Film, 2025 Academy Awards®
Basel Adra is a Palestinian activist living under occupation in the West Bank community of Masafer Yatta. Yuval Abraham is an Israeli journalist whose freedom of movement allows him to come and go as he pleases. As unlikely as it might seem, the two strike up a friendship and, together with Rachel Szor and Hamdan Ballal, form a collective to document the gradual destruction of Masafer Yatta, the forced eviction of its Palestinian residents and the illegal takeover of their lands at the hands of Israeli authorities.
With brash stylistic exuberance, this first feature from Bahram Beyzaie helped usher in the Iranian New Wave. When he takes a job as a schoolteacher in a new neighborhood, the hapless intellectual Mr. Hekmati (Parviz Fannizadeh) finds that he is a fish out of water. Shot in luminous monochrome and edited with quicksilver invention, DOWNPOUR, which has been painstakingly restored from the only known surviving print, captures with puckish humor and great tenderness the cultural conflicts coursing through Iran at a pivotal historical moment.

Diahann Carroll received a Best Actress Oscar® nomination for her portrayal of Claudine Price, a single mom raising six kids in 1970s Harlem. Claudine falls in love with good-natured garbageman Rupert "Roop" Marshall (James Earl Jones), but if they were to marry, it would negatively impact her welfare benefits under the rules of "the system." CLAUDINE winningly combines romantic comedy and family melodrama. John Berry (HE RAN ALL THE WAY) directs, marking his first feature in the U.S. following years of exile in France after being blacklisted in the '50s. Curtis Mayfield wrote and produced the film's terrific score, featuring vocals by Gladys Knight & the Pips.

The concluding chapter of Michelangelo Antonioni's informal trilogy on contemporary malaise, following L’AVVENTURA and LA NOTTE, L’ECLISSE has been described by Martin Scorsese as the boldest of the three. A young literary translator (Monica Vitti) leaves one lover (Francisco Rabal) and drifts into a relationship with another (Alain Delon). Using the architecture of Rome as a backdrop for the doomed affair, Antonioni achieves the apotheosis of his style in this return to the theme that preoccupied him the most: the difficulty of connection in an alienating modern world.

Unsettling intimacy and brutal action combine at breakneck speed as Max Webster ("Life of Pi," "Henry V") directs this tragic tale of love, murder and nature’s power of renewal, which asks, “Are we ever really responsible for our actions?”
