Dear OFS Members and Supporters, 

 

Join us tonight as we celebrate the last in a three part series of "Movies About Wine With Wine" sponsored by Grand Vin Wine Merchants  who have been pairing delicious wines at each screening!

We'll gather for wine tasting in the Mezzanine Lounge before the film screening of "WINERAM Australia", a project from local filmmaker Colin West.  This film follows Colin on his travels through Australia after he completed a season of vintage winemaking, and shows the country's top wineries from an adventurous angle.

 

Wine tasting begins at 5:30pm with movie starting at 6:30pm, ending with a Q&A with Colin. Admission includes a tasting of wines selected from regions featured in the film, and there will glass pours and full bottles available for purchase as well!   Tickets are available at the box office, and we will be accepting debit/credit cards for bottle purchases. Read more about the movie and watch the trailer here.

 

We'll see you at the theater, 

Audrey M. Henley

Executive Director

Only Lovers Left Alive

Dir: Jim Jarmusch / 2014 / US / 123 min / DCP

 

Jim Jarmusch is renowned for his super-cool films inhabited by outsiders living in a skewed world, so it's only fitting that he would journey into the world of vampires. In Only Lovers Left Alive, Tilda Swinton and Tom Hiddleston play Eve and Adam, a married couple who have been living contently for centuries both together and apart. As of late, Adam has been feeling discontent, staying holed up in his living space listening to and creating music that feeds his soul that only lives in darkness.

Enemy

Sun 6/1 2:30 & 7:30; Tue 6/3 9:00; Wed 6/4 6:30; Thu 6/5 4:00 & 9:00
Dir: Denis Villeneuve / 2014 / Canada, Spain / 90 min / DCP

 

In the mind-bending thriller Enemy, a man meets his double in a not-so-normal world. Jake Gyllenhaal plays Adam Bell, a history professor whose life is as mundane as his class lectures. Things take a turn when he watches a movie and spots someone who looks just like himself in the background of a party scene. Freaked out, Adam tracks down this person, Anthony Clair (also played by Gyllenhaal), a third-tier actor who is as wound up and dynamic as Adam is nondescript.

In the Southern-tinged drama Joe, Nicolas Cage returns to the great actor form of his Leaving Las Vegas and Raising Arizona days. Cage plays the title character, a conflicted man who survives in a backwoods world where hardship and turmoil is as common as the stray dogs that roam. Joe is a foreman on a crew that clears land by poisoning trees. An ex-con who has had his share of troubles, as well as enemies, he is still a fair man and treats his crew with understanding. Lives change when he agrees to hire Gary, a 15-year-old from a broken home. Read more and view trailer
