TIM'S VERMEER
Directed by Teller
PG-13, In English, 80 min.
Visit the official site
Tim Jenison, a Texas based inventor, attempts to solve one of the greatest mysteries in all art: How did 17th century Dutch Master Johannes Vermeer ("Girl with a Pearl Earring") manage to paint so photo-realistically -- 150 years before the invention of photography? The epic research project Jenison embarks on to test his theory is as extraordinary as what he discovers.
Spanning eight years, Jenison's adventure takes him to Delft, Holland, where Vermeer painted his masterpieces, on a pilgrimage to the North coast of Yorkshire to meet artist David Hockney, and even to Buckingham Palace to see a Vermeer masterpiece in the collection of the Queen.

THE WIND RISES (Kazetachinu)
Directed by Hayao Miyazaki
PG, 126 min, In Japanese w/ English subtitles & In English.
Visit the official site
One of this year's nominees at the Academy Awards for Best Animated Feature Film
WINNER
Best Animated Film — New York, Boston and Washington D.C. Film Critics
Golden Lion — Venice Film Festival
People’s Choice Award for Best Dramatic Feature — Toronto Film Festival
This decades-spanning epic from maestro Hayao Miyazaki is his most unique film to date. Inspired by the stories of Jiro Horikoshi, visionary designer of one the most beautiful airplanes in history — the famed Zero fighter — and the writer Tatsuo Hori, this tale of love and perseverance in a turbulent world is brought to life by the vivid animation of Studio Ghibli. A work of ethereal complexity and immense beauty, The Wind Rises is rumored to be maestro Hayao Miyazaki's swan song. Whether or not this sad news proves to be true, the film is unique amongst the animator's work.
We will be showing The Wind Rises in both dubbed and subtitled versions.
Dubbed in English – D
In Japanese, with English subtitles - S
