Exhibition on Screen: The Dawn of Impressionism - Paris, 1874
The Impressionists are the most popular group in art history – millions flock every year to marvel at their masterpieces. But, to begin with, they were scorned, penniless outsiders. 1874 was the year that changed everything; the first Impressionists, “hungry for independence”, broke the mould by holding their own exhibition outside official channels. Impressionism was born and the art world was changed forever. What led to that first groundbreaking show 150 years ago? Who were the maverick personalities that wielded their brushes in such a radical and provocative way? The spectacular Musée d’Orsay exhibition brings fresh eyes to this extraordinary tale of passion and rebellion. The story is told not by historians and curators but in the words of those who witnessed the dawn of Impressionism: the artists, press and people of Paris, 1874. Made in close collaboration with the Musee d’Orsay and National Gallery of Art, Washington D.C. Saturday, September 20, 11 AM. Tickets $13, $11 for 60+ on sale now.

Checkpoint Zoo
In the early days of the Russian-Ukrainian war, Kharkiv, the country’s second largest city, was turned into a warzone. On one side of the battlefield was the invading Russian army, on the other side, the defending Ukrainians, and caught in between them, was a zoo called Feldman Ecopark. In addition to being a cultural center, Feldman Ecopark was an animal sanctuary that offered countless therapy programs to everyone from soldiers with PTSD to children with special needs. As the war ravaged on, and the shelling increased, it was clear that the bravery of the staff wouldn’t be enough to save the animals trapped inside. With the help of four young volunteers, these real-life heros would undertake a seemingly impossible mission – they would risk life and limb to evacuate over 5,000 animals, including dangerous predators, and deliver them to safety. Drawing from first-hand footage, filmmaker Joshua Zeman's Checkpoint Zoo showcases a story of human compassion, bravery, and sacrifice during Ukraine's darkest hours -- shining a light on the best of humanity when it is all too easy to focus on the worst. Special premium event showing, October 1 & 4. Showtimes and tickets $10, now on sale.
Preserved
In an era of wildfires, drought, and species decline, Vermejo is proof that restoration is possible. And it's a blueprint for where it can happen next. This land, a 560,000-acre reserve in northern New Mexico that has been home to Indigenous communities, roaming bison, elk, and antelope since time immemorial, has seen civilizations rise and fall. In the 19th century, mining came, leaving behind landscapes stripped by time and scarred by industry. But now, something remarkable is happening. In 1996, media mogul Ted Turner bought this land. Working with science and nature, Vermejo’s passionate stewards helped restore the land to a place of thriving biodiversity and teeming life—from bison and wildcats to urban dwellers escaping to the outdoors. Shot over 130+ days in this breathtaking landscape, PRESERVED unveils the hidden sanctuary and its unseen wildlife behaviors—bears stealing mountain lion kills, microscopic worlds thriving in water-filled potholes, and animals adapting to a changing planet. Scientists, ranchers, and leading conservationists have come together to help achieve the seemingly impossible—from North America’s largest trout restoration to the return of beaver, elk, and bison. Vermejo, deep with discovery and abundant human history, is a bellwether for what’s possible everywhere. Premium event screening, Friday 10/3, 5:15 PM & Sunday, 10/5, 12:30 PM. Tickets $10 now on sale.

Harvey (1950) presented by Camas Antiques
"James Stewart stars as Elwood P. Dowd, a wealthy tippler whose sunny philosophy and inebriated antics are tolerated by most of the citizenry.

Although everyone is certain that Elwood has finally lost his mind, Harvey's presence begins to have magically positive effects on the townsfolk, with the exception of Elwood's own sister Veta (Josephine Hull), who, ironically, can also occasionally see Harvey."
