Film Screenings

Next week, our cinema will screen a film about two "sheriffs" from a southern Ukrainian village, a fantasy drama about eternal life, and a Finnish film about a chance encounter that changes the fate of two people.

— "Fallen Leaves" (Aki Kaurismäki, 82 min, 2023)

This film follows two lonely people, both troubled by their pasts. Ansa works stacking shelves in a supermarket and sorting plastic for recycling. Holappa is a laborer with a drinking problem. A chance encounter changes both of their lives. The film was featured at the Cannes Film Festival, where it competed for the Palme d'Or and won the Jury Prize.

— "Only Lovers Left Alive" (Jim Jarmusch, 123 min, 2013)

November 8 (Friday), 6:30 PM

This fantasy film tells the story of two delicate and sensitive vampires, Adam and Eve, who have been lovers for centuries. They are intellectuals with an all-encompassing passion for music, literature, and science, and they no longer kill to survive. However, the younger vampire, Ava, has yet to learn this way of life, and her presence disrupts Adam and Eve’s lives — and perhaps the world’s.

— "Ukrainian Sheriffs" (Roman Bondarchuk, 85 min, 2015, 16+)

November 9 (Saturday), 6:30 PM

This documentary follows two "sheriffs" elected by the community in a southern Ukrainian village. They rescue a woman from an anaconda, help a homeless man, Kolya, settle in an empty house, and try to guide him back to a normal life. For these people, their village is their country. Each spring, they celebrate Victory Day in keeping with tradition, though victory in the new war is still far from reach.
