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!

Final Frames
What do final films mean to us, and to the filmmakers who create them? This series highlights the question of late and last works, adapted as a powerful lens for thinking about film style and meaning across contemporary global cinema. Inspired by the passing of key auteur directors of the twentieth century, as well as celebrated filmmakers currently making films in an advanced career phrase, the series invites us to reflect on the last works that a director gets to make— whether knowingly, as a considered closing act, or as a stark endpoint to creative activity.

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.
