Join us at 12:45 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 2 for a screening of “Train Dreams” (2025), presented by the Miami Film Festival GEMS program.
“Train Dreams” is the moving portrait of Robert Grainier (Joel Edgerton), whose life unfolds during an era of unprecedented change in early 20th-century America. Robert grows into adulthood among the towering forests of the Pacific Northwest, where he helps expand the nation’s railroad empire alongside men as unforgettable as the landscapes they inhabit.
And when his life takes an unexpected turn, he finds newfound meaning for the forests and trees he has felled.
An ode to a vanishing way of life and to the extraordinary possibilities that exist within even the most simple of existences, “Train Dreams” captures a time and place that are now long gone, and the people who built a bridge to a future they could only dream of. With William H. Macy, Felicity Jones, Clifton Collins Jr., and Kerry Condon.
Tickets are $16.50 and available at link above (while supplies last).
