THE TRAP
SHOWN AT 7:15PM -�FREE SHOW!
A modern film noir reflecting the true face of Serbian “society in transition,” It’s a story that could happen to you. An ordinary man is forced to choose between life and death of his own child. “The Trap” is a film about post-Milosevic’s Serbia, in which there is no more war, only a moral and existential desert. This is Serbia in transition, in which human life is worth little, and normal life remains almost unreachable.�”Beautifully executed…deeply moving…a thoroughly involving cinematic experience” -Stephen Farber, The Hollywood Reporter

MOMMA’S MAN
SHOWN AT 5:00PM (SHOWING NOVEMBER 21-23)
From the producers of “Half Nelson” and “Maria Full Of Grace,” “Momma�s Man” chronicles the increasingly anxious dilemma of Mikey, a young husband and father who stops off at his parents’ loft during a business trip to New York and finds himself emotionally unable to leave. Unsure of his own motivations, he makes up excuses about why he�s staying — his flight is delayed; his flight is canceled — but while his doting mother (the director�s real mother) is more than happy to enable his procrastination, his father (the director�s real father) grows suspicious of his son’s changes of plans.�”A touchingly true film, part weepie, part comedy, about the agonies of navigating that slippery slope called adulthood.” -Manohla Dargis, The New York Times;�”A beautiful, wise, shaggy, poker-faced comedy of discombobulation.” -Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
THE POOL
SHOWN AT 7:15PM (SHOWING NOVEMBER 21-23)
Winner of the Special Jury Prize at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival, “The Pool” is the story of Venkatesh, a “room boy” working at a hotel in Panjim, Goa, who sees from his perch in a mango tree a luxuriant garden and shimmering pool hidden behind a wall. In making whatever efforts he can to better himself, Venkatesh offers his services to the wealthy owner of the home. Not content to simply dream about a different life, Venkatesh is inquisitive about the home’s inhabitants — indeed about the world around him — and his curiosity changes the shape of his future.�”Gorgeous…glowing luminescence.” -Stephen Holden, The New York Times;�”A truly independent gem of a feature. Informed by incisive observations about the class divide but more interested in the mysteries of the human heart, this gentle variation on neorealism is a delight on every level.” -Sheri Linden, The Hollywood Reporter
