*The prices for 35mm screenings are higher due to the labor required to project film prints, maintain film projection equipment, and to account for the cost of shipping of the prints from the distributor.

Theater Camp
As summer rolls around again, kids are gathering from all over to attend AdirondACTS, a scrappy theater camp in upstate New York that’s a haven for budding performers. After its indomitable founder Joan (Amy Sedaris) falls into a coma, her clueless “crypto-bro” son Troy (Jimmy Tatro) is tasked with keeping the thespian paradise running. With financial ruin looming, Troy must join forces with Amos (Tony Award winner Ben Platt), Rebecca-Diane (Molly Gordon), and their band of eccentric teachers to stage a masterpiece to keep their beloved summer camp afloat.

Earth Mama
An unflinching authentic portrait of when motherhood, sisterhood, and womanhood converge with class and race, Savanah Leaf’s directorial feature debut is an intimate depiction of a mother’s fear and love. Gia is a young mother fighting for her children. Her son and daughter are in foster care, and now her unborn child could also be taken away. Struggling to work enough hours with court-mandated classes, she’s barely making ends meet. Gia loves her children unconditionally, but how will she give them the future they deserve?
