LOVING @ 6:00pm
Academy Award Nominee: Ruth Negga for Best Actress
From acclaimed writer/director Jeff Nichols (Take Shelter, Midnight Special), Loving celebrates the real-life courage and commitment of an interracial couple, Richard and Mildred Loving (Joel Edgerton and Ruth Negga), who married and then spent the next nine years fighting for the right to live as a family in their hometown. Their civil rights case, Loving v. Virginia, went all the way to the Supreme Court, which in 1967 reaffirmed the very foundation of the right to marry — and their love story has become an inspiration to couples ever since. Both Edgerton and Negga were Golden Globe nominated for their rich performances. (2016, 123 min, DCP ‘Scope)
MOONLIGHT @ 8:30pm
2016 Golden Globe® Award Winner – Best Picture (Drama)
Nominated for 8 Academy Awards including: Best Picture, Director, Supporting Actor (Ali), Supporting Actress (Harris)
A timeless story of human connection and self-discovery, Moonlight chronicles the life of a young black man from childhood to adulthood as he struggles to find his place in the world while growing up in a rough neighborhood of Miami. At once a vital portrait of contemporary African American life and an intensely personal and poetic meditation on identity, family, friendship, and love, Moonlight is a groundbreaking piece of cinema that reverberates with deep compassion and universal truths. Anchored by extraordinary performances from a tremendous ensemble cast, writer/director Barry Jenkins’s staggering, singular vision is profoundly moving in its portrayal of the moments, people, and unknowable forces that shape our lives and make us who we are. The film stars Naomie Harris, André Holland, Mahershala Ali, Janelle Monáe, Trevante Rhodes, Ashton Sanders, and Jharrel Jerome. (2016, 111 min, DCP 'Scope)
