Upcoming films
Friday, May 9 @ 7 pm
THE GREAT DICTATOR (1940)
The Screening Room
Released when the U.S. was still at peace with Germany and neutral in the early days of WWII, this early blast of anti-Hitler sentiment from the great Chaplin was his biggest-ever hit and features some of his most brazen filmmaking and breathtaking comedic set-pieces.
Saturday, May 10 @ 3 pm
THE DEATH OF STALIN (2017)
The Screening Room
The idea of a comedy sprouting from the cutthroat power vacuum left by the death of Josef Stalin seems a bit… odd. But Armando Iannucci excels at finding hilarity in the heartless (and frequently foul-mouthed) people who inhabit self-devouring bureaucracies.
Saturday, May 10 @ 7 pm
DUCK SOUP (1933)
The Screening Room
The world’s greatest comic anarchists—Groucho, Harpo, Chico, and yes, even Zeppo, in his final appearance—lay waste to dictatorship, religion, warfare and any other number of sacred cows in this utterly audacious, eternally hilarious masterpiece.

A NICE INDIAN BOY (2025)

In this warm-hearted romantic comedy, young doctor Naveen (Karan Soni) finally finds love. But that’s just half the battle; the other half comes when Naveen brings Jay (Broadway star Jonathan Groff) home to meet his traditional Indian family.

TWIN PEAKS: FIRE WALK WITH ME (1992)
The Screening Room
In this prequel to his groundbreaking 1990s television series, David Lynch resurrects the teenager wrapped in plastic. As happens with the work of genius filmmakers, the film has been fully reclaimed and is now seen as one of Lynch’s best.
Saturday, May 17 @ 7 pm
INLAND EMPIRE (2006)
The Screening Room
David Lynch’s first digitally shot feature makes visionary use of the medium to weave a vast meditation on the enigmas of time, identity, and cinema itself, all orbiting a tour de force performance from Laura Dern as a woman in trouble.
Friday, May 23 @ 7 pm
TO BE OR NOT TO BE (1942)
The Screening Room
On paper it shouldn’t work. A comedy about the Nazi occupation of Poland set while the occupation was still happening? Jokes with references to concentration camps? Jack Benny versus Nazis? And yet, this is one of the funniest comedies of its era, and certainly one of the most audacious.
Saturday, May 24 @ 3 pm
RICHARD III (1995)
The Screening Room
The winter of our discontent has rarely been so fun. The great Ian McKellen himself updated the Bard’s bloody tale, set here in an alternate universe 1930s England, and it is a blast to watch him devour this role, and to watch the stellar supporting cast strive to meet his level.
Thursday, May 29 @ 7 pm
Ran (1985)
Monthly Screening
40th anniversary 4K restoration. Kurosawa’s take on King Lear is the Japanese master’s most impressionistic and experimental film, filled with swathes of clashing colors, clouds of arrows, buildings engulfed in flames, and oceans of soldiers doing battle. It’s one of those rarified movies that demands to be seen on the biggest screen possible.
Friday, May 30 @ 7 pm
SINGIN’ IN THE RAIN (1952)
The Screening Room
Singin’ in the Rain was born of modest circumstances. But sometimes, magic happens, and Singin’ in the Rain is undeniably magical. In the Sight & Sound poll of the greatest films of all time, this cornerstone Hollywood musical cracked the top 10.
Saturday, May 31 @ 3 pm
THE UMBRELLAS OF CHERBOURG (1964)
The Screening Room
There’s really nothing else like The Umbrellas of Cherbourg. A melancholy, sung-through musical with astonishing candy-color design and staggeringly gorgeous lead actors, it’s a singular achievement in musical cinema.
