Hannah and Her Sisters
Sunday, November 20 - 3:00 pm
Hannah and Her Sisters tells the intertwined stories of an extended family over two years that begin and end with a fractured and disordered family's Thanksgiving dinner. In spite of the quirky characters, broken relationships, and the tension between family members, the story emerges with a surprisingly joyous and richly human outcome.
Written and directed by Woody Allen, who stars along with Mia Farrow as Hannah, Michael Caine as her husband, and Barbara Hershey and Dianne Wiest as her sisters. The film's star-studded ensemble cast also includes Carrie Fisher, Maureen O'Sullivan, Lloyd Nolan, Max von Sydow, and Julie Kavner.
Hannah and Her Sisters is regarded by many critics as Woody Allen's best film, and even those who are not fans of Allen's other movies find this one to be both compelling and enjoyable. It is on numerous lists as one of the best Thanksgiving-themed movies of all time, along with Babette's Feast, which we screened in 2006.
"The best Thanksgiving movie. Anyone care to argue?"

Lord, Save Us From Your Followers
Not Yet Scheduled
WE MAY AGAIN BRING THIS MOVIE BACK DUE TO POPULAR DEMAND!!!
If you were to meet ten average Americans on the street, nine of them would say they believe in God. So why is the Gospel of Love dividing America?
Dan Merchant put on his bumper-sticker-clad jumpsuit and decided to find the reason. After talking with scores of men and women on streets all across the nation, and also interviewing many well-known activists in today's "Culture Wars," Dan realized that the public discussion of faith doesn't have to be contentious.
As discussion of religion floods the media, the rhetoric is divisive, hyper, and most often, angry. With humor more common in a comedy-sketch program than a documentary, Merchant brings the sensibilities of someone who is deeply concerned with how his faith is being represented by others. Lord, Save Us provides a provocative, funny, and redemptive discussion that is sure to continue long after the credits run.
Merchant sits down for interviews with well-known people on all sides of this great divide, including best-selling author William Paul Young (The Shack), comedian/politician Al Franken, former "Religious Right" Senator Rick Santorum, noted "liberal evangelical" Tony Campolo, conservative radio host Michael Reagan, and racial reconciliation activist Dr. John Perkins.
If that's not divergent enough, other features include Bono, Rick Warren, Bill Maher, James Dobson, George Clooney, Jerry Falwell, Stephen Colbert, Ann Coulter, Pat Robertson, Lewis Black, Tony Perkins, Monty Python, and even Stewie from "Family Guy"… along with many others.
Add to that the nationwide man-on-the-street interviews with "Bumper-Sticker Man," the Culture Wars game show, the "renaming" of St. Paul to New Leningrad, and a controversial and moving "Confession Booth" at Portland's Gay Pride celebration, and Lord, Save Us From Your Followers delves into religious hot-button issues with candor, humor, and balance.
Engaging, unpredictable, and challenging, Lord, Save Us From Your Followers will change the way you talk about faith!
