Damsels in Distress
- Thursday: 7:00 p.m.
"Most of the characters in Whit Stillman's Damsels in Distress— the principal damsels, for sure, and also some of the lads identified in the opening titles as "their distress" — speak in complete sentences and express complex, sometimes startlingly original ideas. This, friends, is news: a movie populated by young people who do not mumble, swear, punctuate their utterances with "like" or think that an incredulous "really?" represents the apogee of wit. Even if it did not have other charms, this peculiar, uneven campus comedy would be worth seeing for the delightful felicity of its dialogue."—A.O. Scott, New York Times Comedy. 99 minutes. PG-13. 2012

Academy Award nominee for Best Foreign Language Film FOOTNOTE is the comedic story of insane academic competition and the dichotomy between admiration and envy for a role model between a father and son. Eliezer and Uriel Shkolnik are both eccentric professors, who have dedicated their lives to their work in Talmudic Studies. The father, Eliezer, is a stubborn purist who fears the establishment and has never been recognized for his work. Meanwhile his son, Uriel, is an up-and-coming star in the field, who appears to feed on accolades, endlessly seeking recognition. Then one day, the tables turn. When Eliezer learns that he is to be awarded the Israel Prize, the most valuable honor for scholarship in the country, his vanity and desperate need for validation are exposed. His son, Uriel, is thrilled to see his father's achievements finally recognized but, in a darkly funny twist, is forced to choose between the advancement of his own career and his father's. Comedy. 105 minutes. Rated PG. In Hebrew w/English subtitles. 2011.

Higher Learning
- Wednesday: 7:00 p.m.
Youngsters from different countries, races, and social background are forced to integrate when they all enroll in Columbus University.

This FREE screening is sponsored by Antioch College and will be followed by a discussion. Drama. 127 minutes. Rated R. 1995.
