POTSDAM -- Cinema 10 begins its fall 2015 season of contemporary and foreign films Monday, Sept. 14, with "Me and Earl and the Dying Girl," at 7:15 p.m. at the Roxy Theater, 20 Main St.

The plot begins when Greg befriends a high school girl who's dying of brain cancer, and making movies with his co-worker Earl just doesn't seem all that important anymore.

Based on the critically acclaimed novel of the same name, Me and Earl and the Dying Girl pairs comedy legends Nick Offerman and Molly Shannon alongside a trio of young heavyweights to create a film that is quirky and compelling.

Premiering to a standing ovation at the Sundance Film Festival, Me and Earl and the Dying Girl was called "one of the best films of 2015" by Richard Roeper of The Chicago Sun-Times.

The movie is 105 minutes and rated PG-13 for sexual content, drug material, language, and some thematic elements.

All Cinema 10 shows run Mondays at 7:15 p.m. at the Roxy Theater, 20 Main St.

Tickets are $4.50 for general admission or $35 per season. Tickets for students and seniors are $3.50, or $25 per season.

• Sept. 21, "Pather Panchali," treasured for 60 years for the richness of its images of rural India and the intimacy of its story, Satyajit Ray’s “Song of the Road,” now digitally restored, revolutionized the Indian film industry in the 1950s and won the top prize at Cannes.

• Sept. 28, "Just Eat It: A Food Waste Story," Cinema 10 joins hands with GardenShare. Filmmakers Jen Rustemeyer and Grant Baldwin are horrified to learn that billions of dollars a year are spent on food that is thrown away before it even hits a plate.

• Oct. 19, "Mr. Turner," Hailed by critics as an ecstatically beautiful and exquisitely detailed portrait of the artist as a cantankerous middle-aged man, Mr. Turner offers us a commanding view of a city—London—and a country at the dawn of the modern age and of J.M.W.

• Oct. 26, "Hausu," presented by the Andrew Alden Ensemble, Performing live at the Roxy, the Andrew Alden Ensemble will combine traditional instrumentation with the techniques of live circuit bending and analog tape looping to create experimental sound effects in their score for this hallucinatory cult favorite.

• Nov. 2, "Welcome to Kutsher's: The Last Catskills Resort," Offering a long parting glance at Kutsher’s, the last of the Jewish family-owned resorts in the once resplendent Catskills Borscht Belt, “the film is a witty look at the history and sociology that made the Jewish hotels and resorts of the region rise and, more recently, vanish,” writes George Robinson in The Jewish Week.

• Nov. 9, "Wild Tales," Szifrón’s portmanteau film comprises six short films linked by the theme of revenge.
