The Gullspång Miracle

A seemingly divine premonition leads Norwegian sisters Kari and May to buy an apartment in the small Swedish town of Gullspång. To their surprise, the seller looks surprisingly similar to their older sister Astrid, who committed suicide thirty years earlier. What’s even more odd is that this doppelgänger used to go by “Lita,” the same nickname as their deceased sister. What begins as an eerie story of destiny, faith and improbable coincidence soon becomes a Pandora’s Box of stranger-than-fiction revelations and awkwardly comical mishaps in this “riveting” and “one-of-a-kind” documentary that is “complete with Lynchian echoes of Twin Peaks” (The Hollywood Reporter).

In a world where technology disguises misinformation and propaganda as news, it’s difficult to know what information to trust. Many Americans have been driven away from the news they need to participate in our democracy. Trusted Sources is a new documentary film that shows how we got here, how to find trustworthy news, and how to protect good journalism. Ultimately, finding and protecting good journalism requires some effort from news consumers; this shows how we can identify news organizations that earn our trust by adhering to standards that we expect of them, how to spot misinformation and stop it from spreading, and what we can do to protect and support our local news outlets.

The Decline of Western Civilization

TICKETS
Apr 25
For the month of April, in conjunction with our PEEK theme of “new punk” we are showing weird punk movies, old and new.
Featuring concert footage of Los Angeles punk bands and interviews both with band members, the publishers of Slash fanzine, and with the punks who made up their audience, the film offers a look into a subculture that was largely ignored by the rock music press of the time. The promotional poster for The Decline (and the record cover of the soundtrack album) featured a close-up frame of Germs singer Darby Crash supine on stage with his eyes closed. Crash died from a heroin-induced suicide shortly before the film was released (the poster was designed before his death). Bands included are Black Flag, Germs, X, Alice Bag Band, the Circle Jerks, Catholic Discipline, and Fear. The Germs’ performance was replicated in the 2007 Darby Crash biopic What We Do Is Secret.

The Gleaners and I

TICKETS
Apr 22
Celebrate Earth Day and support Eco-Cycle. Agnès Varda’s extraordinary late-career renaissance began with this wonderfully idiosyncratic, self-reflexive documentary in which the French cinema icon explores the world of modern-day gleaners: those living on the margins who survive by foraging for what society throws away. Embracing the intimacy and freedom of digital filmmaking, Varda posits herself as a kind of gleaner of images and ideas, one whose generous, expansive vision makes room for ruminations on everything from aging to the birth of cinema to the beauty of heart-shaped potatoes. By turns playful, philosophical, and subtly political, The Gleaners and I is a warmly human reflection on the contradictions of our consumerist world from an artist who, like her subjects, finds unexpected richness where few think to look.

The four women of YAGÓDY are on a mission to preserve their culture by both reviving and reinterpreting folk songs while donning traditional clothing and costumes like the ornately embroidered Vyshyvanka. Sometimes heartbreaking and often rebellious, YAGÓDY’s music is a testament to the land, and spirit of the people of Ukraine. They poetically describe their concerts as, “the songs of wild tribes. This is the voice of your ancestors. This is live energy. It is a dance with voices. This is how our nature smells. This is how our blood sounds.”
The self-titled debut album, YAGÓDY, released in 2020 introduced the world to their unique sound, featuring powerful renditions of Ukrainian, Bulgarian, and Serbian folk songs. In 2024, the group won over audiences at the Eurovision Songwriting Contest with their original song “Tsunamia” placing fifth at the national selection finals.
YAGÓDY has performed at major festivals across Europe, enchanting listeners in Poland, Germany, and beyond and are set to spread their rich history through vibrant concerts across North America.

Apr 20
A meticulous diarist and avid photographer, Ken Smith has spent the past four decades in the Scottish Highlands, living alone in a log cabin nestled near Loch Treig, known as ‘the lonely loch’. He has no electricity or running water. He lives off the land, fishing for his supper, chopping wood, and even brewing his own tipple. Filmed over 10 years, director Lizzie Mackenzie poetically captures Ken’s profound, spiritual relationship with the wilderness: “If you love the land, it loves you back”. Now in his 70s, Ken reflects upon the reasons he turned his back on society, the vulnerability of old age and the awe and wonder of a life lived in nature in this humorous, transcendent and life affirming feature documentary.
