The following is the Cinema 10 schedule for the fall:
When a disillusioned music teacher runs into two hip-hop obsessed low-lifes, the trio form a rap group that will take on police, politicians, and Irish culture itself. Starring the actual members of the band Kneecap, the film chronicles their rise in popularity as an outlier act who mix both English and traditional Irish language into their music. “[Kneecap is] endlessly entertaining while making articulate, thought-provoking points about youthful rebellion, the unifying power of music and the preservation of a nation's heritage and culture.” (Terry Staunton, Radio Times).
When archeologist Arthur is released from prison after being sentenced for grave robbing, he is quick to return to his criminal tomb-raiding under pressure to find legitimate work. The final film in Italian director Alice Rohrwacher’s trilogy of films reflecting on the human relationship with time and the past, La Chimera has been praised for its cinematography and for its odes to the greats of Italian cinema. Paul Whitington of the Irish Independent called La Chimera “a beautiful, haunting film, playful and melancholy, deliberately ragged around the edges.”
32 Sounds is a film like no other, a documentary that might change how you listen to the world around you. What makes sound so special - and why does it unlock memories in a way that our other senses cannot? Filmmaker Sam Green (The Weather Underground) invites the audience to immerse themselves in unique soundscapes from the natural world - listening with instead of just listening to. Peter Debruge of Variety called the film “a rare and rewarding sonic journey with the potential to enrich our lives.”
When 8-year-old Coco begins to question her gender identity, the transition places a strain on her family. But after they travel to visit beekeeping relatives in a sleepy village in the Basque country of Spain and France, the family begins to explore their relationship with one another and come to terms with their own identities. About 20,000 Species of Bees, writer Mark Kermode of Sight and Sound said “[the film is a] warmly humanist and deeply empathetic first feature… announcing the arrival of a bold new filmmaking voice.”
George Lucas’s seminal first film has been newly remastered to celebrate its 50th Anniversary. American Graffiti follows friends who cruise around the streets of their small California town on the final day of summer, 1962, set to the soundtrack of Wolfman Jack’s playlist of timeless rock and roll hits. Ron Howard, Richard Dreyfuss, Harrison Ford, and more young Hollywood heavyweights deliver performances that are timeless.
The Andrew Alden Ensemble returns to Potsdam after nearly a decade away, bringing an encore performance of their original score for F.W. Murnau’s Nosferatu. Alden directs a modern chamber group through music that perfectly accompanies and even reshapes how you watch classic films. In Nosferatu, the original vampire tale, hapless Thomas Hutter attends the Transylvanian estate of Count Orlok to close a real-estate deal. But Orlok has more mysterious plans in store. The film is a gothic tale of the occult and changed the vampire story on screen forever.
Lifelong friends Eden (Ilana Glazer, Broad City) and Dawn (Michelle Buteau) are at different phases of their adult lives, yet inseparable. Dawn is raising two kids, while Eden is still single and carefree. But when Eden becomes pregnant after a one-night stand, their relationship is put to the test. Perfect for fans of raunchy, women-driven comedies like Bridesmaids (2011), Babes strikes a surprising emotional chord while never letting up on its humor. Billy Goodykoontz of the Arizona Republic offered in his review, “maybe, instead of the classes, expectant parents should just be shown Babes instead. It answers a lot of the questions no one asks, sparing nothing. Nothing at all.”
Featuring a cast of non-professional actors, Evil Does Not Exist is the latest from director Ryusuke Hamaguchi, whose 2021 feature, Drive My Car was the first Japanese film to receive a nomination for Best Picture at the Academy Awards. In it, we meet a single father living outside Tokyo, who discovers that his small, eco-conscious community is being threatened by a company that wishes to build a glamping resort nearby. Unnerving, sparse, and shockingly beautiful, Evil Does Not Exist was praised by NPR film critic Justin Chang, who said that Hamaguchi is “trying to get us to look at the natural world, human beings included, beyond the comforting framework of good vs. evil.”
A construction worker grieving the death of his son by suicide finds himself unexpectedly cast in a production of Romeo and Juliet, all while struggling to raise his troubled daughter. A meditation on loss, family, and finding comfort in the world of pretend, Ghostlight is “a hushed, confidently devastating, and ultimately hopeful drama that never follows a traditional path,” (Sara Michelle Fetters, MovieFreak).
After the titular Thelma is scammed out of $10,000 by a man pretending to be her grandson, the 93-year-old sets off on a journey to get her money back. First time director Josh Margolin directs stellar performances by screen veterans June Squibb (in her first leading role), Malcolm McDowell, Parker Posey, and Richard Roundtree (in his final performance). Dulcie Pearce of The Sun called the film “A Mission Impossible homage on mobility scooters which is often laugh out loud funny.”
