Weekend Film Agenda: September 18
NWFF presents a new entry in their Live at the Film Forum series with Bridging Wounds in which artists Paris Hurley, Ezra Dickinson, Jamie Iacoli, Tilla Kuenzil, Amanda Moore and Paurl Walsh blend original movement, music, and animation to explore the connection between words and perception. Friday and Saturday at 8:00 pm.
On Sunday, NWFF offers three screenings of Speaking in Tongues, a documentary that examines bilingual education in America at the level of the students enrolled in it, following two native English speaking students in a Mandarin immersion program and two ESL students who also retain their original language. A panel discussion including local academic figures follows the 3:00 pm screening.
If you missed Revanche earlier this year, or if you caught it and would like to see it again, you get your chance to see it at the Grand Illusion starting Friday. Nominated for the year’s best foreign film Oscar, Revanche is a powerful neo-noir about revenge and how a single event can connect even the most unlikely of people.
Midnight at the Egyptian: Harold and Maude, the 70s black comedy about the relationship between a fun-loving senior citizen and a suicidal young man.
