SUNDAYS AT THE U WITH MOVIES: "TAMPOPO" (1985)
2024-12-08 13:00 - 15:00
BUY TICKETS HERE
Join us at 1 p.m. Sunday, December 8, for a screening of the scrumptious foodie comedy “Tampopo” (1985), the tale of an eccentric band of culinary ronin who guide the widow of a noodle-shop owner on her quest for the perfect recipe.
TAMPOPO | 1985 | WRITER-DIRECTOR: Juzo Itami | WITH: Ken Watabane, Tsutomo Yamazaki, Nobuyo Miyamoto | RUNNING TIME: 1H 54M | IN JAPANESE WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES | UNRATED Contains adult themes | PROJECTED IN 4K DCP
This rapturous “ramen western” by Japanese director Juzo Itami is an entertaining, genre-bending adventure underpinned by a deft satire of the way social conventions distort the most natural of human urges—our appetites.
Interspersing the efforts of Tampopo and friends to make her café a success with the erotic exploits of a gastronome gangster and glimpses of food culture both high and low, the sweet, sexy, and surreal “Tampopo” is a lavishly inclusive paean to the sensual joys of nourishment, and one of the most mouthwatering examples of food on film ever made.

“Humor, it is said, is universal. Most times it is not. The humor that travels best, I sometimes think, is not “universal” humor at all, but humor that grows so specifically out of one culture that it reaches other cultures almost by seeming to ignore them. The best British comedies were the very specifically British films, such as “The Lavender Hill Mob” and “School for Scoundrels.” The best Italian comedies were such local products as “Seduced and Abandoned.” The funniest French films were by Tati, who seemed totally absorbed in himself.
“And this very, very Japanese movie, which seems to make no effort to communicate to other cultures, is universally funny almost for that reason. Who cannot identify with the search for the perfect noodle? Certainly any American can, in the land of sweet corn festivals, bakeoffs and contests for the world’s best chili. This is a very funny movie.” — Roger Ebert
Tickets are $5 and available at link above. Students use code UMSTUDENT at checkout for free admission (Cane card must be shows at the door).

DAVID LYNCH'S "THE STRAIGHT STORY" (1999) FREE SCREENING
2025-01-26 13:00 - 15:00
In honor and celebration of the life and work of the late filmmaker David Lynch, please join us for a *free* screening of one of his best and least-seen films, “The Straight Story” (1999). No tickets required!
THE STRAIGHT STORY | 1999 | DIRECTOR: David Lynch | WITH: Richard Farnsworth, Sissy Spacek, Harry Dean Stanton, Everett McGill | RUNNING TIME: 1H 52M | RATED G: No offensive material | DIGITAL 2K PROJECTION
A retired farmer and widower in his 70s, Alvin Straight learns one day that his distant brother Lyle has suffered a stroke and may not recover. Alvin is determined to make things right with Lyle while he still can, but his brother lives in Wisconsin, while Alvin is stuck in Iowa with no car and no driver’s license.
Then he hits on the idea of making the trip on his old lawnmower, thus beginning a picturesque and at times deeply spiritual journey. Will he succeed?

“The first time I saw “The Straight Story,” I focused on the foreground and liked it. The second time I focused on the background, too, and loved it. The movie isn’t just about the old Alvin Straight’s odyssey through the sleepy towns and rural districts of the Midwest, but about the people he finds to listen and care for him. You’d think it was a fantasy, this kindness of strangers, if the movie weren’t based on a true story.
“Because the film was directed by David Lynch, who usually deals in the bizarre (“Wild at Heart,” “TwinPeaks”), we keep waiting for the other shoe to drop–for Alvin’s odyssey to intersect with the Twilight Zone. But it never does. Even when he encounters a potential weirdo, like the distraught woman whose car has killed 14 deer in one week on the same stretch of highway (“. . . and I HAVE to take this road!”), she’s not a sideshow exhibit and we think, yeah, you can hit a lot of deer on those country roads.” Roger Ebert
Admission to this screening is FREE and no tickets are required. The movie will be introduced by Cosford Cinema manager Rene Rodriguez, who will discuss the importance of Lynch’s filmography to contemporary American cinema.

SUNDAYS AT THE U WITH MOVIES: "KING OF THE HILL" (1993)
2025-02-09 13:00 - 15:00
BUY TICKETS HERE
Join us at 1 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 9 for a screening of Steven Soderbergh’s 1993 charming drama “King of the Hill.”
“King of the Hill” is the story of a 12-year-old boy who is left on his own in St. Louis during the Great Depression, and not only survives but thrives, and learns a thing or two. His parents are absent for excellent reasons: His mother is in a TB sanitarium, and his father, a door-to-door salesman, having failed to find much of a market for wickless candles, has left town to travel for a watch company.
His younger brother has been shipped away to relatives. That leaves young Aaron behind in his family’s rooms in the Empire Hotel, a transient hotel not quite nice enough to qualify as a brothel.
KING OF THE HILL | 1993 | DIRECTOR: Steven Soderbergh | WITH: Jesse Bradford, Jeroen Krabbe, Lisa Eichhorn, Adrien Brody, Karen Allen, Elizabeth McGovern, Spalding Gray | RUNNING TIME: 1H 43M | RATED PG-13 for thematic elements | PROJECTED IN DIGITAL 2K
https://youtu.be/f3h-vn29UJM?si=DOLsFaj9CkPKVQz0

“As a hero, Aaron has some of the qualities of Huckleberry Finn, David Copperfield or Oliver Twist. He’s plucky, smart, and knows his way around people. It is a sad truth that he could not survive in today’s unkinder world, but in the 1930s he finds it possible to support himself and even attend a prestigious local school, all because of his gift of gab and his genius at creative lying.
“King of the Hill” could have been a family picture, or a heartwarming TV docudrama, or a comedy. Soderbergh must have seen more deeply into the Hotchner memoir, however, because his movie is not simply about what happens to the kid. It’s about how the kid learns and grows through his experiences. It’s about growing up, not just about having colorful adventures.
“And despite the absence of Aaron’s family for much of the picture, it’s about the support a family can give – even, if it’s believed in, when it isn’t there.” — Roger Ebert
Tickets are $7.50 and include a Localist service processing fee. UM students use code UMSTUDENT at checkout for free admission.

SUNDAYS AT THE U WITH MOVIES: "ROSEWOOD" (1997)
2025-02-16 13:00 - 15:30
BUY TICKETS HERE
Join us at 1 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 16 for a screening of the historical drama “Rosewood,” about the 1923 attack by a racist lynch mob on the all-Black prosperous Florida town in 1923.
ROSEWOOD | 1997 | DIRECTOR: John Singleton | WITH: Ving Rhames, Don Cheadle, Jon Voight, Bruce McGill, Esther Rolle | RUNNING TIME: 2H 20M | RATED R for violence and some sexuality | PROJECTED IN 2K DIGITAL
In 1923, a black town in Florida was burned to the ground, its people murdered because of a lie. Some escaped and survived because of the courage and compassion of a few extraordinary people. This film is for them.

“Rosewood” was expensive, and there is some question in the industry about what audiences will be drawn to it; it’s not easily summarized in ads and does not obviously appeal to either Blacks (since it documents such a depressing chapter) or whites (depicted as murderous or ineffectual). Perhaps it will appeal to people looking for a well-made film that tells a gripping, important story. Now there’s a notion.” – Roger Ebert
Tickets are $7 (price includes service fee) and available at link above. Students use code UMSTUDENT at checkout for free admission. Cane card must be shown at the door.

SUNDAYS AT THE U WITH MOVIES: "GLORY" (1989)
2025-02-23 13:00 - 15:00
BUY TICKETS HERE
Join us at 1 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 23 for a screening of the Oscar-winning drama “Glory,” about the Civil War’s first all-Black volunteer company.
GLORY | 1989 | DIRECTOR: Ed Zwick | WITH: Matthew Broderick, Denzel Washington, Morgan Freeman, Cary Elwes, Andre Braugher | RUNNING TIME: 2H 2M | RATED R for war violence, vulgar language, brutality and adult themes | PROJECTED IN 2K DIGITAL
Matthew Broderick stars as Col. Robert Gould Shaw, an officer in the Federal Army during the American Civil War who volunteered to lead the first company of black soldiers. Shaw was forced to deal with the prejudices of both the enemy (who had orders to kill commanding officers of blacks), and of his own fellow officers. Winner of three Academy Awards, including Best Supporting Actor for Denzel Washington,.

“These men are proud to be soldiers, proud to wear the uniform and also too proud to accept the racism they see all around them, as when a decision is made to pay black troops less than white. Blacks march as far, bleed as much and die as soon, they argue. Why should they be paid less for the same work?
“Shaw eventually sees the logic in this argument and joins his men in refusing their paychecks. That action is a turning point for the 54th, fusing the officers and men together into a unit with mutual trust. But there are countless smaller scenes that do the same thing, including one in which Shaw is pointedly told by one of his men that when the war is over, nothing much will have changed: “You’ll go back to your big house.”” — Roger Ebert
Tickets are $6.00 (price includes service fee) and available at link above. Students use code UMSTUDENT at checkout for free admission. Cane card must be shown at the door.

SUNDAYS AT THE U WITH MOVIES: "THE WAGES OF FEAR" (1953)
2025-03-02 13:00 - 15:30
BUY TICKETS HERE
Join us at 1 p.m. Sunday, March 2, for Henri-Georges Clouzot’s suspense masterpiece “The Wages of Fear,” a thriller about four men hired to drive two trucks loaded with nitroglycerine across mountainous, treacherous terrain.
THE WAGES OF FEAR | 1953 | DIRECTOR: Henri-Georges Clouzot | WITH: Yves Montand, Charles Vanel, Peter van Eyck, Folco Lulli | RUNNING TIME: 2H 36M | IN FRENCH with English subtitles | UNRATED | PROJECTED IN 2K
In a squalid South American oil town, four desperate men sign on for a suicide mission to drive trucks loaded with nitroglycerin over a treacherous mountain route. As they ferry their explosive cargo to a faraway oil fire, each bump and jolt tests their courage, their friendship, and their nerves. The result is one of the greatest thrillers ever committed to celluloid, a white-knuckle ride from France’s legendary master of suspense Henri-Georges Clouzot.

“One thing that establishes “The Wages of Fear” as a film from the early 1950s, and not from today, is its attitude toward happy endings. Modern Hollywood thrillers cannot end in tragedy for its heroes, because the studios won’t allow it. “The Wages of Fear” is completely free to let anything happen to any of its characters, and if all four are not dead when the nitro reaches the blazing oil well, it may be because Clouzot is even more deeply ironic than we expect.
“The last scene, where a homebound truck is intercut with a celebration while a Strauss waltz plays on the radio, is a reminder of how much Hollywood has traded away by insisting on the childishness of the obligatory happy ending.” — Roger Ebert
Tickets are $6 (including service charge) and available at link above. Students use code UMSTUDENT at checkout for free admission (must show Cane card at the door).

The Miami Film Festival presents “Boys Go to Jupiter,” an animated film of humid surrealism by director Julian Glander, at 9 p.m. Tuesday, April 8.

Through ridiculous humor, plenty of heart and a stellar voice cast (Comedic all stars Julio Torres, Sarah Sherman, Cole Escola, & Janeane Garofalo to name a few) Billy navigates the difficult choices of life, love and money that come along with becoming the unwelcomed parent of an alien creature.

MIAMI FILM FESTIVAL: "WHO WE ARE" UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI DOCUMENTARY SHORT FILM PROGRAM
2025-04-10 18:30 - 20:30
BUY TICKETS HERE
The Miami Film Festival and the University of Miami’s School of Communication present this diverse competition of short-documentary films, with a $1,000 prize awarded to the winning movie.
List of films:

“Chasing the Passage of Time” A determined crew of 25 takes on the monumental challenge of transporting the largest Richard Serra sculpture across Florida, navigating treacherous roads, logistical obstacles, and the relentless weight of art history—proving that moving a masterpiece is an art form in itself.

“View From the Floor” From a very early age Mindie Lind has had a deep obsession with performance and profound love of the stage. Mindie also has no legs, so it wasn’t long before news crews, national telethons, and even Maury Povich arrived to capture her in action, always portraying even the simplest activities as inspirational.
These early headlines of “Overcoming Obstacles Despite Disability” led Mindie to a lifelong struggle with imposter syndrome as she pursued her creative ambitions, always wondering if she’s a hit or a hack, talented or typecast, superstar or supercrip.
This short film, which was created in support of a longer feature, explores the singular experience of exceptionalism, exploitation and imposter syndrome within disability. Incorporating vibrant animation and beautiful score, “View From the Floor” is a bold, irreverent, and entertaining memoir of disability as told by crip culture champion, Mindie Lind.

“Tiger” Dana Tiger was just five years old when her father, legendary Muscogee Creek artist Jerome Tiger, passed away. She turned to his art as a way to know him, the richness of her culture, and the bounty of her family’s artistic tradition.
In memory of Jerome’s art and to support their family, Dana’s mother and uncle started a booming t-shirt printing business in the 1980s. Then, tragedy struck their family once more. Dana’s younger brother, Chris Tiger, was murdered and their business was brought to a halt.
Dana and her family have been working for nearly 30 years to revitalize the iconic Tiger t-shirt company, through immense grief and suffering from Parkinson’s. Now, everybody wants their hands on a Tiger T-shirt.

“Don’t Cry for Me All You Drag Queens” An homage to the legendary Mother Cavallucci by weaving together the present and past to provide a striking portrait of belonging and memory.
Joseph “Josie” Cavallucci (aka Mother Cavallucci) is a legendary New Hope drag queen that would host annual wedding celebrations in the 70s and 80s that served as fundraisers and a community party.
Poetically merging archival photographs and present day footage from a community drag show, the film sparks conversation about the modern-day issues Mother Cavallucci revolutionized.

“The Boriqua’s Dilemma” A political documentary short that focuses on the centuries-long status debate in Puerto Rico. It commences with an animated crash course that frames the rest of the film in a historical context. The crash course touches on Puerto Rico’s colonial relationship with the US, the political status debate, as well as the four most common status preferences.
The film then introduces its six interview subjects, three politicians and three civilians. They each debate their preferred status as the film ventures into the most important arguments on the topic, showcasing each perspective and their influences including Hurricane Maria, PROMESA, and the gentrification happening in Puerto Rico’s metropolitan areas today.

“Stud Country” The largest queer country western line dancing event in America was created to preserve Los Angeles’ little known 50+ year queer line dancing tradition. Despite its success and fiercely committed community, the event is set to lose its venue due to gentrification.

“Confessions of a Jumbotron Addict” An obsessive Brooklyn Nets basketball fan decodes one of the great mysteries of attending live sporting events: how to get up on the Jumbotron. With a newfound superpower to get the crowd hyped through ridiculous dance moves, he finds himself at the center of a double-overtime nailbiter against the Detroit Pistons.

“Que Hay Allí Afuera?” A reflection on the chaos permeating in the mind of Manolo Lázaro, where hazy memories of Cuba conflict with the realities faced by his loved ones who remain.

MIAMI FILM FESTIVAL: "TRANSPLANT" (2024)
2025-04-10 21:00 - 23:00
The Miami Film Festival presents the psychological thriller “Transplant” at 9 p.m. Thursday, April 10th.
A motivated surgical resident pushes himself to extreme lengths while training under a legendary heart transplant surgeon obsessed with protecting his perfect reputation.
Like the medical world version of Damien Chazelle’s “Whiplash,” “Transplant” is about a mentor-mentee relationship that gets pushed to dangerous levels. Filmmaker Jason Park tackles themes such as ambition – and the way our family dynamics shape that very ambition – and what happens when one’s moral compass collides with ruthless determination.
When other people’s lives hang in the balance, how does that affect one’s decisions and actions? The film asks tough questions, while at the same time operating like a fast-paced thriller that consistently keeps the audience on their toes.
Tickets are $15.50 for the general public and $14.50 for students, military and seniors (62+) with ID. Click on the link above.

MIAMI FILM FESTIVAL: "NEWS WITHOUT A NEWSROOM" (2025)

BUY TICKETS HERE
The Miami Film Festival presents writer-director Oana Liana Martisca’s timely documentary “News Without a Newsroom” at 6:30 p.m Friday, April 11.
As local newsrooms vanish and the industry’s first digital transformation redefines journalism, News Without a Newsroom explores the profound shift in journalism’s culture, values, and connection to the communities it serves. Once a pillar of democracy, local newspapers provided a voice for the marginalized and a check on power. Now, with shrinking staffs, remote journalists, and AI-driven social media shaping the news people see, the newsroom’s collaborative spirit and public service mission are at risk.
Through frontline reporting and expert insights, the film unpacks the challenges facing journalism today—from political polarization and media distrust to legislative threats and the emergence of generative AI, which blurs the line between fact and fiction like never before.

Tickets are $15.50 for the general public and $14.50 for students, military and seniors (62+) with ID. Click on the link above.
