JANIS LITTLE GIRL BLUE
Janis Joplin is one of the most revered and iconic rock & roll singers of all time, a tragic and misunderstood figure who thrilled millions of listeners and blazed new creative trails before her death October 4th 1970 at age 27. This in depth examination presents an intimate and insightful portrait of a complicated, driven, and often beleaguered artist.
THE LAST PIG. City premiere screening and Q &A following
THE LAST PIG is a lyrical meditation on what it means to be a sentient creature with the power to kill. Deeply immersive, the film follows a pig farmer through his final year of slaughtering pigs. Through sparse, intimate musings, the farmer reveals the growing conflict of a life spent “peddling in death.” Through this personal journey, THE LAST PIG raises crucial questions about equality, the value of compassion and the sanctity of life.
Comis’ soul-bearing narrative carries us through his final year of farming pigs, the struggle to reinvent his life, and the ghosts that will haunt him forever.
Q&A following with Director Allison Argo and main protagonist Bob Comis. Free entrance. No membership needed.

KEN LOACH INEDITO In Two Minds [The Wednesday Play]
Kate, una giovane sotto osservazione psichiatrica che soffre di mancanza di fiducia, auto-stima e auto-controllo, racconta di una “Kate cattiva” che commette atti immorali. Le condizioni della ragazza sono la conseguenza dell’ipocrisia, dell’egoismo e della debolezza di coloro che la circondano, oppure Kate può essere solo diagnosticata e trattata come schizofrenica? // Kate, a young girl under psychiatric examination, suffers from a lack of confidence, self-esteem and self-control — telling of the “bad Kate” who commits immoral acts. Could the hypocrisy, selfishness and weakness of those around her have led to this state of mind or can Kate simply be diagnosed and dismissed as a schizophrenic? In a drama told in Loach’s convincing documentary style, writer David Mercer questioned the accepted condition of schizophrenia. The film, broadcast in The Wednesday Play series, led to heated discussions on television and in the press, while Mercer won the Writers’ Guild Award for the Best Television Play of 1967.
