Join us at 1 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 7, for New German Cinema pioneer Wim Wenders’ 1984 drama “Paris, Texas.” Wenders brings his keen eye for landscape to the American Southwest in this story of a mysterious, nearly mute drifter Travis (a magnificent Harry Dean Stanton) as he tries to reconnect with his young son, living with his brother (Dean Stockwell) in Los Angeles, and his missing wife (Nastassja Kinski).
From this simple setup, Wenders and Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Sam Shepard, who co-wrote the screenplay, produce a powerful statement on codes of masculinity and the myth of the American family, as well as an exquisite visual exploration of a vast, crumbling world of canyons and neon.
PARIS, TEXAS | 1984 | DIRECTOR: Wim Wenders | WITH: Harry Dean Stanton, Nastassja Kinski, Dean Stockwell | RATED R for sexual content, brief profanity | RUNNING TIME: 2H 25M | 4K RESTORATION

“The man comes walking out of the desert like a Biblical figure, a penitent who has renounced the world. He wears jeans and a baseball cap, the universal costume of America, but the scraggly beard, the deep eye sockets and the tireless lope of his walk tell a story of wandering in the wilderness. What is he looking for? Does he remember?
“Wim Wenders’ “Paris, Texas” (1984) is the story of loss upon loss. This man, whose name is Travis, was once married and had a little boy. Then that all went wrong, and he lost his wife and child, and for years he wandered. Now he will find his family and lose it again, this time not through madness but through sacrifice. He will give them up out of his love for them.
“Wenders uses the materials of realism but this is a fable, as much as his great “Wings of Desire.” It’s about archetypal longings, set in American myth. The name Travis reminds us of Travis McGee, the private investigator who rescued lost souls and sometimes fell in love with them but always ended up alone on his boat.
“The Texas setting evokes thoughts of the Western, but this movie is not for the desert and against the city; it is about a journey which leads from one to the other and ends in a form of happiness.” — Roger Ebert

SUNDAYS AT THE U WITH MOVIES: "LA STRADA" (1954)
2025-09-14 13:00 - 15:00
BUY TICKETS HERE
Join us at 1 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 14, for a screening of Federico Fellini’s Oscar-winning “La Strada” (1954). Fellini directs his wife, the incandescent Giulietta Masina, as a woman sold by her mother into the employ of Zampanò (Anthony Quinn), a brutal strongman in a traveling circus.
When Zampanò encounters an old rival in highwire artist the Fool (Richard Basehart), his fury is provoked to its breaking point. With “La Strada,” Fellini left behind the familiar signposts of Italian neorealism for a poetic fable of love and cruelty, evoking brilliant performances and winning the hearts of audiences and critics worldwide.
LA STRADA | 1954 | DIRECTOR: Federico Fellini | WITH: Anthony Quinn, Giulietta Masina, Richard Baseheart, Aldo Silvani | RUNNING TIME: 1H 48M | UNRATED no offensive material

“Federico Fellini’s “La Strada” (1954) tells a fable that is simple by his later standards, but contains many of the obsessive visual trademarks that he would return to again and again: the circus, and parades, and a figure suspended between earth and sky, and one woman who is a waif and another who is a carnal monster, and of course the seashore. Like a painter with a few favorite themes, Fellini would rework these images until the end of his life.
“The movie is the bridge between the postwar Italian neorealism which shaped Fellini, and the fanciful autobiographical extravaganzas which followed. It is fashionable to call it his best work – to see the rest of his career as a long slide into self-indulgence. I don’t see it that way. I think “La Strada” is part of a process of discovery that led to the masterpieces “La Dolce Vita” (1960), “8 1/2” (1963) and “Amarcord” (1974), and to the bewitching films he made in between, like “Juliet of the Spirits” (1965) and “Fellini’s Roma” (1972).” — Roger Ebert

It begins in the golden age of local news, evoking the energy of bustling newsrooms, before tracing their decline in the wake of advertising losses, algorithmic content delivery, and political interference.
The film confronts the threats posed by artificial intelligence and deepfake technologies, then highlights a movement of grassroots, nonprofit, and
independent outlets innovating to restore public trust.
At its core, the documentary is a visual and emotional journey through the voices of veteran journalists, young storytellers, and the communities who still depend on them. It urges audiences to support journalism-not just as consumers, but as citizens safeguarding democracy.
The screening will be followed by a panel discussion featuring veteran journalists discussing the issues raised in the film.

SUNDAYS AT THE U WITH MOVIES: "A TALE OF WINTER" (1992)
2025-09-21 13:00 - 15:00
BUY TICKETS HERE
Join us at 1 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 21, for a screening of Eric Rohmer’s “A Tale of Winter,” which is among the most spiritual and emotional films of Rohmer’s storied career.
Five years after losing touch with Charles (Frédéric van den Driessche), the love of her life and the father of her young daughter, Félicie (Charlotte Véry) attempts to choose between librarian Loïc (Hervé Furic), who lives in the Parisian suburbs, or hairdresser Maxence (Michel Voletti), who has recently moved to Nevers. In the midst of indecision Félicie holds to an undying faith that a miracle will reunite her with Charles, a faith that Rohmer examines in all of its religious dimensions and philosophical ramifications.

“Eric Rohmer is the romantic philosopher of the French New Wave, the director whose characters make love with words as well as flesh. They are open to sudden flashes of passion, they become infatuated at first sight, but then they descend into doubt and analysis, talking intensely about what it all means. Because they’re invariably charming, and because coincidence and serendipity play such a large role in his stories, this is more cheerful than it sounds. As he grows older Rohmer’s heart grows younger, and at 81 he is more in tune with love than the prematurely cynical authors of Hollywood teen romances.
“What pervades Rohmer’s work is a faith in love–or, if not love, then in the right people finding each other for the right reasons. There is sadness in his work but not gloom. His characters are too smart to be surprised by disappointments, and too interested in life to indulge in depression. His films succeed not because large truths are discovered, but because small truths will do. To attend his films is to be for a time in the company of people we would like to know, and then to realize that in various ways they are ourselves.” — Roger Ebert

SUNDAYS AT THE U WITH MOVIES: "THE COMFORT OF STRANGERS" (1990)
2025-09-28 13:00 - 15:00
BUY TICKETS HERE
Join us at 1 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 28, for a screening of director Paul Schrader’s psychosexual thriller “The Comfort of Strangers.”
Adapting the acclaimed novel by Ian McEwan, playwright and screenwriter Harold Pinter lends his trademark unnerving dialogue and air of creeping menace to this spellbinding study of power, control, and the frighteningly thin line between pleasure and pain.
Rupert Everett and Natasha Richardson are the prey, a beautiful British couple working on their relationship while on holiday in Venice; Christopher Walken and Helen Mirren are the hunters who draw them into the sinister web of their opulent, old-world palazzo.
What plays out is an unsettling, sadomasochistic seduction imbued with an atmosphere of sumptuous dread by the elegantly gliding tracking shots of cinematographer Dante Spinotti, lush score by Angelo Badalamenti, and carefully controlled direction of Paul Schrader, who choreographs a mesmerizing pas de quatre of sustained erotic and emotional tension.

“Paul Schrader’s “Comfort of Strangers” is about decadence in Venice, a place of long golden afternoons, steamy nights, grand palazzos, dark alleys, incredible beauty, unrecognized malignancies and, finally, death.
“The movie is too much, which is just about right for a horror film so romantic that its true nature is only revealed at the very end, when escape is no longer possible.
“Harold Pinter, who adapted the screenplay from Ian McEwan’s novel, has never written a film as alarmingly ghoulish as this tale of terminal love. “The Comfort of Strangers” is a Grand Guignol variation on the kind of scary Pinter play in which the menace remains discreet. Not here.” — Vincent Canby, The New York Times

SUNDAYS AT THE U WITH MOVIES: "AMARCORD" (1973)
2025-10-05 13:00 - 15:00
BUY TICKETS HERE
Join us at 1 p.m. Sunday, October 5 for a screening of Federico Fellini’s Oscar-winning masterpiece “Amarcord” (1973).
Federico Fellini returned to the provincial landscape of his childhood with this carnivalesque reminiscence, recreating his hometown of Rimini in Cinecittà’s studios and rendering its daily life as a circus of social rituals, adolescent desires, male fantasies, and political subterfuge.
Sketching a gallery of warmly observed comic caricatures, Fellini affectionately evokes a vanished world haloed with the glow of memory, even as he sends up authority figures representing church and state, satirizing a country stultified by Fascism.
Winner of Fellini’s fourth Academy Award for best foreign-language film, “Amarcord” remains one of the director’s best-loved creations, beautifully weaving together Giuseppe Rottuno’s colorful cinematography, Danilo Donati’s extravagant costumes and sets, and Nino Rota’s nostalgia-tinged score.

““Amarcord” is like a long dance number, interrupted by dialogue, public events and meals. It is constructed like a guided tour through a year in the life of the town, from one spring to the next. There are several narrators, including an old rummy-dummy who visibly forgets his lines, and a professor who lectures us learnedly on the town’s historical precedents.
“Other narrators include the singing voices of the children, heralding the arrival of the first dandelion balls of spring, and a confiding voice on the soundtrack that is Fellini himself.” — Roger Ebert

"RASHOMON" SCREENING ON 16MM FILM -- FREE ADMISSION
2025-10-08 17:20 - 19:30
Join us at 5:20 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 8 for a free screening of Akira Kurosawa’ seminal 1950 drama “Rashomon” on 16mm film! Tickets are not required.
In feudal Japan, a samurai is murdered, and his wife assaulted, but the details are unclear. Conflicting accounts emerge as this ground-breaking Japanese psychological thriller leaves the audience questioning which version, if any, reflects reality—and justice.
“‘Rasho-Mon,’ … is, indeed, an artistic achievement of such distinct and exotic character that it is difficult to estimate it alongside conventional story films. On the surface, it isn’t a picture of the sort that we’re accustomed to at all, being simply a careful observation of a dramatic incident from four points of view, with an eye to discovering some meaning—some rationalization—in the seeming heartlessness of man” (Bosley Crowther, New York Times, December 27, 1951).

This screening of Akira Kurosawa’s Rashomon (1950) is presented in 16mm film as an AV Club program with thanks to Katharine Labuba, film archivist and special collections librarian of the Miami-Dade Public Library, Main Branch.
AV CLUB is an ongoing program of curated 16mm short film screenings designed to provoke discussion, create awareness of unique library resources held by the Special Collections Division of the Miami-Dade Public Library System and generate enthusiasm for learning and research.
The Miami-Dade Public Library holds one of the remaining, circulating 16mm film collections. The collection dates to 1956 and was developed to be a teaching collection designed for public programming.

A film from a veteran filmmaker and actor, considered one of the pioneer directors of the modern Greek Indie cinema with his first films “No Budget Story” and “Cheap Smokes”. A tribute to night radio and the analog world that the new century has banished.

After several years of living in the countryside, a single mother and her two daughters return to Taipei to open a stand at a buzzing night market. Each in their way will have to adapt to this new environment to make ends meet and maintain family unity.
But when their traditional grandfather forbids his youngest left-handed granddaughter from using her “devil hand,” generations of family secrets begin to unravel.
Co-written, produced, and edited by Oscar winner Sean Baker, who is fresh off his Best Picture win for “Anora” and also known for “Red Rocket,” “The Florida Project,” and “Tangerine.” Baker and director Shih-Ching Tsou previously co-directed the Sundance hit “Take Out” in 2004.
