- DescriptionProfessor Pfinklepfunder's $1 Sunday Family FilmsDirected by Ben Sharpsteen, Clyde Geronimi, Wilfred Jackson, Hamilton LuskeWith Kathryn Beaumont, Ed Wynn, Sterling HollowayRated G, 75 minutes, Blu-rayLewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Walt Disney had a long history. Disney used a short of the film to help finance his pictures as he got his studio off the ground. A feature adaptation was inevitable, but the pathway there proved winding and long-fitting for a film about Wonderland. After roughly three decades of fits and starts, Alice in Wonderland was released in 1951. It was really upon its re-release in the early 1970s that it cemented itself as not only a Disney classic but a classic American film. The film follows Alice following the White Rabbit down a rabbit hole and into Wonderland, where she encounters a raft of strange characters, some of whom would like to have her head.

- Apr 274:00 PMFilm: "When Fall Is Coming" (2024)New at the BrowningDirected by François OzonWith Hélène Vincent, Josiane Balasko, Ludivine SagnierNot Rated, 102 minutes, DCPIn French with English subtitlesAfter a tumultuous life in Paris, Michelle (Hélène Vincent) has retired to a quiet existence in Burgundy, tending her garden and attending services at her parish. The voracious hostility of her adult daughter Valérie (Ludivine Sagnier) remains Michelle's great puzzlement: How can a child for whom she sacrificed so much treat her with such contempt and suspicion? When Valérie drops off her son for a week with his grandmother, Michelle sees an opportunity to repair the relationship, but a culinary accident soon undercuts whatever trust remains. With the help of her best friend Marie-Claude (Josiane Balasko), whose son (Pierre Lottin) has recently been released from prison, Michelle plots a path towards restoring the family life so long denied to her. With a deceptively placid surface, master stylist François Ozon cooks up a twisty and destabilizing thriller where family ties remain the most mysterious ingredient of all. GET TICKETS
