Dir.: Ryan Coogler / 2013 / US / 85 min / 35 mm film
The winner of both the Audience Award and the Grand Jury Prize at this January's Sundance Film Festival, Ryan Coogler's debut feature, Fruitvale Station, brings to vivid life the last day in the life of Oscar Grant, the 22 year old man killed by police at a Bay Area Rapid Transit station shortly after midnight on New Year's Day 2009, giving us the human being behind the headlines and rendering his death even more tragic, if that's possible. Michael B. Jordan (The Wire, Friday Night Lights) gives an unforgettable, star-making performance as Grant, with solid support by Oscar winner Octavia Spencer (The Help) as Grant's mother and Melonie Diaz as his partner, Sophina.

Based on true events, the film follows the exploits of four Southern California teenagers who have been raised in the midst of vacuous celebrity culture. Led by Rebecca, a dominating mean girl, the teens get the brilliant idea to break into the houses of their idols, not just to steal their expensive stuff, but to revel in the good life they will inevitably be part of one day when they're famous.

Dir.: Gabriela Cowperthwaite / 2013 / US / 83 minute / High Definition Digital
Blackfish is an eye-opening documentary that exposes the plight of orcas being held in captivity and used as entertainment in marine parks such as Sea World. This searing expos� focuses on the case of Tilicum, a whale that has been responsible for the deaths of three of his trainers throughout his decades in confinement. Through revealing
footage and interviews, a disturbing portrait of Tilicum's life is drawn in vivid detail, revealing abuse, suffocating detention, and devastating familial separation, which has created a mentally unstable creature who is forced to perform for entertainment.

Ain't Them Bodies Saints is an atmospheric romance in the tradition of the films of Terrence Malick. Set amidst the sprawling landscape of
the Texas lowlands, Bob and Ruth (Casey Affleck and Rooney Mara) are former outlaws who are also lovers. Separated after Bob is captured during a run-in with the law, he impatiently waits in prison for the day he will be reunited with his love. Meanwhile, Ruth is torn: waiting on the outside, raising the couple's child, and fending for
herself-life is hard.
