- Nov 101:00 PMFilm: "Annie" (2014)The original Broadway production of Annie opened in 1977 to instant success. Soon after that in 1982, the somewhat surprising choice of John Huston (The Maltese Falcon, The Night of the Iguana) directed the film adaptation. After a standard made-for-TV-Disney remake in 1999, the franchise updated the musical for this adaptation in 2014. For example, it's now set in Harlem, Daddy Warbucks becomes Will Stacks (Jamie Foxx), and the Depression Era is swapped out for the mid-2010s tech boom. The musical's bones, however, largely remain. Annie (Quvenzhané Wallis) resides at Miss Hannigan's (Cameron Diaz) orphanage with an optimism far beyond what her means should support. A chance encounter with Stacks, a mobile phone mogul running for Mayor of New York City, begins one of the most famous Algeresque Broadway stories ever. GET TICKETS!
- Nov 103:30 PMDocumentary: "Lyd" (2024)Made by a Palestinian from Lyd and a Jewish American, this documentary provides much-needed context for this moment, as it goes deep into the history of the Nakba from the perspective of Palestinians who survived. As the film cuts between fantastical and documentary realities, it ultimately leaves the viewer questioning what future should prevail. The film imagines an alternate reality where Palestine was never occupied and Palestinians of all religions (Muslims, Christians, and Jews) live in a liberated Palestine. Narrated by Palestinian actress Maisa Abd Elhadi who personifies the city, the viewer is guided through the lifespan of a five-thousand-year-old city and its residents. GET TICKETS
