New at the BrowningDirected by Jiao ZiWith Michelle Yeoh, Crystal Lee, Vincent Rodriguez IIIRated PG-13, 144 minutesWhen Xu Zhonglin wrote the novel Investiture of the Gods in the 1500s, he didn't expect one, let alone two, animated adaptations to sweep China (and then the world). In particular with Ne Zha 2, this direct sequel has become both the highest-grossing animated film and the highest-grossing non-English language film of all time by raking in over $2,000,000,000. While the results are staggering, the story's roots still hold well to the 16th-century source material: A rebellious young boy, Ne Zha, is feared by the gods and born to mortal parents with wild, uncontrolled powers. Now that he's faced with an ancient force intent on destroying humanity, he must grow up to become the hero the world needs. GET TICKETS

Join in for an evening of sketching, community, and inspiration centered around themes found in the exhibition Homecoming: Walter Osborne’s Portraits of Dublin, 1880–1900. This month’s session will focus on place and be led by local artist Kay Westhues. Come ready to share a sketch (sketches should be no larger than 9” x 12”) of your own, created in response to this prompt: Sound and Place DrawingsThink of a favorite place in your town, neighborhood, or region—somewhere meaningful or interesting. Head to that spot with your preferred drawing materials in hand.Once there, settle into a comfortable position. Close your eyes and tune in deeply to the sounds around you. Notice the relationships between different types of sound—natural and human-made, nearby and far off, present or remembered. Try moving to a few other locations within the space. What changes? What stays the same?Draw some of the sounds that you hear. You might focus on one sound and make marks that describe the sound, or draw several sounds together to create a visual representation of the layered soundscape. Try drawing with your eyes closed to connect even more closely with the sounds. Your drawings can be abstract or representational.This prompt was inspired by Pauline Oliveros, a composer who developed and utilized the practice of Deep Listening in her work. During the program, we’ll share sketches, discuss artistic choices and techniques, find inspiration in each other’s and Osborne’s work, and take on a new sketching challenge inspired by this month’s theme. Local Lines is open to artists aged 15 and up. This program is part of The Big Draw, the world's largest drawing celebration, which takes place across the globe every year in October. It is for anyone who loves to draw, as well as those who think they can't. The festival promotes drawing as a universal language that has the power to change lives and unite people of any age, background, race, or religion from around the globe.

Classics in the BrowningDirected by Steve LatshawWith Linnea Quigley, Maddisen Krown, Gary DolesRated R, 88 minutesJack-O is the Halloween mash-up between Troll 2, Are You Afraid of the Dark?, and Friday the 13th Part V: A New Beginning that you've been dreaming of. It's Halloween night in the small town of Oakmoor Crossing. And all is not well. Armed with a scythe and a literal pumpkin for a head, Mister Jack has risen from his tomb to seek revenge against a warlock's descendants and their babysitter. Why? It remains unclear. But what's clear is Jack-O is resplendent in its Halloween vibes, autumn landscapes, and surrealist visuals. Newly restored from the original 16mm camera negative, Jack-O is a gloriously fun 1990s slasher that deserves a spot in your heart as a Halloween tradition.
