Cinema 10 in Potsdam gives Fall lineup

Posted

POTSDAM -- The next screening at Cinema 10, the international and independent film series at the Roxy Theater on Main Street, will be “The Souvenir” on Sept. 16.

The UK and US film directed by Joanna Hogg is 120 minutes and rated R.

“The Souvenir” tells the story of film school student Julie who becomes entangled in an increasingly destructive relationship with a secretive older writer whose addictions threaten to overwhelm her.

Loosely based on director Joanna Hogg’s life, “The Souvenir” is a “quietly devastating drama” writes G. Allen Johnson of the San Francisco Chronicle, about the vulnerability and insecurity of a young woman struggling to come of age as an artist.

"Heartbreaking, sophisticated and deeply cinematic all at once," writes Tomris Laffley of The Wrap.

The following films additional films are scheduled in coming weeks:

• Sept. 23 “Honeyland” (2019, Macedonia, d. Ljubomir Stefanov and Tamara Kotevska) 87 min NR

• Sept. 30 “The Last Black Man in San Francisco” (2019, USA, d. Joe Talbot) 120 min R

• Oct. 7 “Coming Home” (2019, USA, d. Bess O’Brian) 90 min NR, Q&A with director after the film

• Oct. 21 “I Am Rohingya: A Genocide in Four Acts” (2018, Canada, d. Yusuf Zine) 84 min NR, Q&A with director after the film

• Oct. 28 “Hail Satan?” (2019, USA, d. Penny Lane) 95 min R

• Nov. 4 “The Burial of Kojo” (2018, Ghana/USA, d. Sam Blitz Bazawule) 80 min NR

• Nov. 11 “Woman at War / Kona fer í stríð” (2018, Iceland/France/Ukraine, d. Benedikt Erlingsson) 101 min NR

• Nov. 19 “Amazing Grace” (2018, USA, d. Allan Elliott and Sydney Pollack) 89 min G.

The series aims to bring films to the area which are significant artistically, socially or politically, but which generally are not popular enough in the mass market to reach local theaters.

Films are shown at 7:15 p.m. Mondays at the Roxy Theater, 20 Main St. Season tickets are $45 or $35 for students and senior citizens. Individual tickets are $5.50 or $4.50 for students and seniors, available at the door.
