- Instagram, Sat, June 15, 7 p.m. | JANET PLANET *FREE event* Julianne Nicholson (Mare of Easttown, Dream Scenario) stars as Janet raising 11-year-old Lacy in rural Western Massachusetts in the 90s. In her solitary moments, Lacy inhabits an inner world so extraordinarily detailed that it begins to seep into the outside world. Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Annie Baker captures a child’s experience of time passing, and the ineffability of a daughter falling out of love with her mother, in this singularly sublime film debut. Free tickets linked in bio → [ID: Film still of Nicholson and Ziegler sitting outside.]
- Instagram, Next Sat, June 15, 4 p.m. | @EthanHawke’s Flannery O’Connor biopic WILDCAT stars his daughter @Maya_Hawke as the celebrated Southern Gothic writer.

- Instagram, ✨️🌈 @1minworld with Princess! What a creative and compelling show! Princess (Alexis Gideon and Michael O’Neill) is a queer interdisciplinary performing arts duo that uses music as the narrative basis for their conceptual, visually dynamic video operas. @1minworld (One Minute World) is a video song cycle that features original animations and live musical performance. The music is performed live alongside the video projection. With intentionally brief one-minute video songs, @1minworld 's primary-colored bubblegum visuals contrast the songs’ content which explore the discontents of our social media age: filter bubbles, surveillance capitalism, and shortened attention spans, to name a few. Check out their Instagram and their website for more info at https://www.princesscollaborative.com/1minworld

- Instagram, SLOW, winner of the Directing Award (World Cinema Dramatic) at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival, is a beautiful romance about a tender relationship between two complex individuals learning how to connect with one another. Contemporary dancer Elena meets Dovydas when he is assigned to interpret via sign language in a class she is teaching to deaf youth. Their connection is immediate, kinetic, and frictionless. As they continue to weave more tightly together, they struggle to negotiate sacrifice and compromise and are forced to discover the edges of their generosity toward the other.
