Moonlight
(Barry Jenkins, 2016) · Winner of the 2016 Academy Award for Best Picture,Moonlight is a subtle and haunting aspiration to life in three acts. Beating at the film's heart is the vibrant Chiron (portrayed across three stages of youth), a young and troubled black man struggling with inner conflicts of masculinity, sexuality, and the social struggles of poverty and drugs. Moonlight is an elegiac meditation on pain, suffering, growth and, of course, love—an eloquent must-see.

Silent Running
(Douglas Trumbull, 1972) · Special effects maven Douglas Trumbull (2001: A Space Odyssey) directed this environmental allegory, notable for its seamless robot puppetry, luminous photographic effects, and majestic takes of spacecraft drifting amid the planets, with biospheres hosting Earth's last surviving flora. Make it through the preachy first act for the hero's (Bruce Dern) radical act of disobedience against his corporate employers, propelling him towards the peril and isolation of space.

The LEGO Batman Movie

I Am Not Your Negro
(Raoul Peck, 2016) · Thirty years after the death of James Baldwin, Raoul Peck resurrects his unfinished final manuscript for a vital examination of race in America.

Jackson) still apply to society today. A panel discussion will follow the 7pm screening. Co-presented by the Center for the Study of Race, Politics, and Culture.

The Red Turtle
(Michaël Dudok de Wit, 2016) · Co-produced by Studio Ghibli, The Red Turtle tells the simple story of a man marooned on a small, deserted tropical island. There is no spoken dialogue in the film, but de Wit proves that words are unnecessary. Instead, accompanied by composer Laurent Perez del Mar's airy soundtrack, the film is visually magnificent, as it brings to life the vibrant world of an island teeming with activity and the man's poignant decades-long journey there within.

Toni Erdmann
(Maren Ade, 2016) · Maren Ade's new feature defies all expectations. The story of an eccentric music teacher (Peter Simonischek), and his attempts to bond with his daughter (Sandra Huller) by posing as a life coach, never succumbs to triteness or cheap sentimentality. Instead Ade gives us a rich character study, sustained by stellar performances from the two leads, that flows from moment to moment, alternately tender, frustrating, or gut-bustingly hilarious.
