Evil Does Not Exist

Starring: Hitoshi Omika, Ryô Nishikawa, Ryûji Kosaka, Ayaka Shibutani

In the rural alpine hamlet of Mizubiki, not far from Tokyo, Takumi and his daughter, Hana, lead a modest life gathering water, wood, and wild wasabi for the local udon restaurant. Increasingly, the townsfolk become aware of a talent agency’s plan to build an opulent glamping site nearby, offering city residents a comfortable “escape” to the snowy wilderness. When two company representatives arrive and ask for local guidance, Takumi becomes conflicted in his involvement, as it becomes clear that the project will have a pernicious impact on the community.

Ryusuke Hamaguchi’s follow up to his Academy Award-winning Drive My Car is a foreboding fable on humanity’s mysterious, mystical relationship with nature. As sinister gunshots echo from the forest, both the locals and representatives confront their life choices and the haunting consequences they have.

Sundays on Fire: Secret Hong Kong 35mm Feature

Warning: Images are not from the movies we’re showing. Trust us, you can’t imagine what we’re showing!

As the Hong Kong film industry imploded in the late ‘90s, one of its campiest directors and one of its trashiest producers revisited their early ‘90s hit about high fashion lesbian assassins, and decided to do do it again… but this time for the boys. The result? A movie that will explode your skull with its total commitment to turning the implied male bonding of action movies into a psychosexual bullet ballet about men who love each other almost as much as they love their guns. One of the most ‘90s movies to ever come out of Hong Kong, if your idea of bromance is slaughtering 500 henchman with your boy crush while wearing matching outfits, this flick’s for you.

Babes delves into the complexities of female friendship with a blend of laughter, tears, and labor pains.

From co-writers Ilana Glazer and Josh Rabinowitz and directed by Pamela Adlon, Babes is a hilarious and heartfelt comedy about the bonds of friendship and the messy, unpredictable challenges of adulthood and becoming a parent.

Though Dr. Hewitt is married, he is drawn in by the passionate and wild worldview of Laura, and the two get dangerously close.
