Sensory Friendly Screening Graphic

Special Sensory Friendly Screening of Avengers: Endgame, Sunday, May 12 at 2:30pm

Sensory Friendly Films are a special opportunity for individuals living with autism and others to enjoy films in a safe and accepting environment. Lights in the theatre are turned slightly up (dim lights will remain on) and the sound is turned slightly down. Audience members are welcome to get up and dance, walk, shout, sing, or do anything they feel they need to do in order to be comfortable–unless the safety of the audience is in question. Many others, not on the autism spectrum, may also enjoy Sensory Friendly Films as they provide an opportunity for families to meet, for siblings of children with autism to get to know other children, and to enjoy a movie in a climate of acceptance and understanding.

Mexican Film Series

In February, every Saturday at noon, we will be paying tribute to the rich film culture of our neighbor south of the border (oops, “wall”), that has consistently given birth to an extraordinary series of world class directors, from Luis Bunuel to Alfonso Cuarón, whose Roma is this year’s critics’ darling, and a favorite to win Best Picture, despite Hollywood’s animus towards the film’s producer, Netflix. If it does win, following last year’s The Shape of Water, Roma will become the second picture in a row helmed by a director from Mexico to win the Motion Picture Academy’s top honor. We will be screening, subject to change, Bunuel’s Los Olvidados (1950), Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu’s Amores Perros (2000), Caurón’s Y Tu Mamá También (2001), and Guillermo del Toro’s Pan’s Labyrinth (2006).
