Echoing the Canadian comedy classic ‘Sctv’ and picking from hundreds of hours of original, low-budget TV ads to tell the sinister tale of two restaurants battling it out in the fictional town of Westridge County. Ads for insurance, used car rivals, a local religious scholar, and a recording artist converge to tell the story of an expanding sinkhole, a cult, and an ever-growing restaurant that becomes unsettlingly sentient.

Undeterred by armed soldiers, evasive politicians, and riot police, journalist Amy Goodman has reported some of the most consequential stories of our time. Steal This Story, Please! is a gripping portrait of the trailblazer whose unwavering commitment to truth-telling spans three decades of turbulent history. From the frontlines of global conflicts to the organized chaos of her daily news show Democracy Now!, Goodman broadcasts stories and voices routinely silenced by commercial media.
Oscar-nominated filmmakers Carl Deal and Tia Lessin (Trouble the Water, The Janes) take us behind the scenes with the warm, wisecracking granddaughter of an Orthodox rabbi — raised in a tradition of asking hard questions – as she navigates a news landscape reshaped by technology, corporate consolidation, and political assaults on the press – and on truth itself. Urgent, provocative and unexpectedly funny, Steal This Story, Please! is both a call to action and a celebration of resistance, posing the question: what happens to democracy when the press surrenders to power?

It is the Spring of 1945 on the German island of Amrum, a remote outpost in the North Sea. The front is far away, and 12-year-old Nanning (newcomer Jasper Billerbeck) spends his days working the nearby farm and his nights fishing, helping his mother to feed their family. Despite the hardship, life on the beautiful, windswept isle seems idyllic. When their anti-fascist neighbor Tessa (Diane Kruger) mentions to Nanning that the war will soon be over, the boy – too young to understand the political implications – is pleased to imagine that his father, a Nazi officer, might soon be coming home. But his mother Hille (Laura Tonke) is a true believer, and word of Germany’s imminent defeat sends her into decline. One day from her sick bed, she wishes for white bread, butter and honey, near impossible luxuries on Amrum which Nanning innocently tries to find for her. But as he sets off on his quest, he learns from his neighbors that the enemy is far closer than he imagined. (Fatih Akin, 2025, Germany, 1:33, NR)

Driven by a passion for “camera flying” in his youth, Joe cultivated a deep friendship with fellow skydiver Rob Harris, partnering to become one of the most influential skysurfing teams in history. Flying at the top of their game, Joe’s world was shattered when tragedy struck, leaving him to navigate the skies alone. Never giving up, he continued to push the boundaries of aerial cinematography and skydiving, finding solace in the clouds while grappling with profound grief and depression. Now, at 62, this pioneering skydiver is taking on a new challenge, elevating his art with a daring “flying car” stunt.

Science on Screen®: Like Water for Chocolate Food, Emotion, and the Science of Nourishment

Before the screening of Like Water for Chocolate, Carmen Pacheco will explore how food carries emotion, memory, culture, and identity while also serving as a fascinating lens into science and engineering. Through stories and examples from Mexican cuisine, chocolate making, flavor development, heat transfer, emulsions, and sensory science, the talk will examine how nourishment extends far beyond nutrition and connects deeply to human experience.

The film shows us that cooking is not only chemistry and heat transfer. Food also carries memory, culture, identity, resistance, and emotion. Mole, chocolate, and salsa become both scientific and human transformations.

In collaboration with the Museum of Boulder’s exhibition Boulder Eats and Community Table Kitchen—the social enterprise of Boulder Bridge House—the event highlights Boulder’s rich food heritage and the cultural and ecological systems shaping how we share and experience food today.
The evening begins with a panel discussion moderated by acclaimed food writer and radio host John Lehndorff, featuring local restaurateurs and culinary professionals. Together, they will reflect on Boulder’s evolving food landscape and the ways food is a site for rich artistry and creativity on and off the table.
Following the conversation, guests will gather for a communal dining experience featuring three chef-curated tasting stations by Boulder Bridge House. Each station—Comfort, Migration, and Celebration—offers a lens into how food across Boulder and the Front Range connects us to memory, movement, and belonging.
More than a meal, the evening uplifts the work of Boulder Bridge House, whose culinary training program provides vital job skills, daily meals, and pathways out of homelessness. The chefs and servers participating in the event are part of this initiative, grounding the experience in both exceptional food and meaningful social impact.

June 5
Croatia’s official entry for Best International Feature Film at the 98th Academy Awards.
Bezinović’s inventive hybrid film is a defiantly punk direct-action history lesson, deadly serious yet hilariously surreal. In 1919, the Italian poet, dandy, and glorifier of war Gabriele D’Annunzio occupied the city of Fiume.
The citizens of Fiume (now Croatia’s Rijeka) retell and reinterpret the 16-month occupation of their city, regarded as one of the most bizarre military sieges of all time. Incensed that the city — long part of the now-dissolved Austro-Hungarian Empire, would be ceded to the newly formed Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (later Yugoslavia) despite its large Italian population — D’Annunzio gathered a few thousand troops and invaded, intending to annex the city to Italy.
Italy wanted no part of this folly, and after 15 months, D’Annunzio and his forces retreated. A century later, Bezinović recruits hundreds of Rijeka locals to recreate scenes from the siege on the streets and in the buildings where events occurred. (Igor Bezinovic, 2025, Croatia, 1:52, NR)

Donghwa is a fledgling poet in his thirties. He rejects material aspirations and seeks to lead a life dedicated to truth and beauty. On a lazy afternoon, he drives his girlfriend, Junhee, back to her parents’ home outside Seoul. In the driveway, they run into her father, who is strangely interested in Donghwa’s dinged up old car. He takes it for a spin around the block, then invites Donghwa to stay and meet the family: him, his wife, who also writes poetry, and Junhee’s reclusive sister, who practices the gayageum, a traditional string instrument. They end up wiling away the day together, visiting a temple by the river, climbing the hill near the house, watching the sunset, and, sure enough, imbibing drinks. Egged on by Junhee’s dad, Donghwa gets progressively more drunk as the day advances. Finally, he makes a fool of himself at dinner. Then everything begins to unravel for the poet: his relationship, his art, his revolutionary ideals. (Hong Sang-soo, 2025, South Korea, 1:48, NR)
