2025 Season
In our 19th year we’re trying something new with our programming. We’ll transition from bi-weekly to weekly screenings for our series, running them one month on and one month off. During the off months, we’ll feature special screenings or Contemporary World Cinema screenings.
Stay tuned to our social media and subscribe to our newsletter to get the first scoop on upcoming announcements!
cwc: Bye Bye Tiberias (2023)
Part of our Ongoing Contemporary World Cinema Series. At 23, acclaimed actress Hiam Abbass (Succession, Ramy, The Visitor) left her Palestinian village of Deir Hanna — and the grandmother, mother, and sisters she grew up with — to pursue acting in France. Three decades later, her daughter, filmmaker Lina Soualem, joins her on a journey to retrace their family’s history.

MEXSORCISMO: Death, Blood, & Identity
When we think of Mexican culture, it’s often filtered through clichés—Day of the Dead, mariachis, tequila, and tacos. But beyond the familiar lies a much deeper landscape: one shaped by colonial legacy, religious fervor, social inequality, magical thinking, and the shadow of everyday violence.
