Vincent Gallo’s eccentric directorial debut is one of a kind: a provocative comedy, alternately satirical and romantic, full of pain and humor. Deeply personal, the film follows one Billy Brown (Gallo) out of prison and back to his hometown, Buffalo, NY where he kidnaps a girl, Layla (Christina Ricci). (dir. Vincent Gallo, U.S., 1998, 112 min.)

CatVideoFest is a compilation reel of the latest and best cat videos culled from countless hours of unique submissions and sourced animations, music videos, and classic internet powerhouses. CatVideoFest is a joyous communal experience, only available in theaters, and raises money for cats in need through partnerships with local cat charities, animal welfare organizations, and shelters to best serve cats in the area. We are committed to raising awareness and money for cats in need around the world. A percentage of the proceeds from each event go to local animal shelters and/or animal welfare organizations. Since 2019, over $150,000 has been raised for local shelters in addition to adoptions, fostering, volunteer sign-ups and much more at shows. By focusing our fundraising efforts on behalf of local shelters and organizations, we’re able to divert money and attention directly to the places and causes that need it most. We trust local people working on behalf of cats to know and understand the problems that need to be solved. The 75-minute-reel of cat videos is family-friendly and can be enjoyed by anyone. The wide demographic appeal allows for it to be shown in virtually any type of setting - from museums to theaters to outdoor festivals and beyond. This flexibility means there are almost no limits to where CatVideoFest can go!

Smart, vibrant, and urgent, Do the Right Thing is one of Spike Lee’s most fully realized efforts — and one of the most important films of the 1980s: it provoked an impassioned debate everywhere: On the hottest day of the year on a street in Bedford-Stuyvesant, everyone’s hate and bigotry smolders and builds til it explodes. (dir. Spike Lee, U.S., 1989, 120 min.)

An executive of a shoe company becomes a victim of extortion when his chauffeur's son is kidnapped and held for ransom.

Visionary director Spike Lee has made a modern, NY-based remake of Kurosawa’s masterpiece High and Low (1963). It’s reframed around a musical mogul David King (Denzel Washington) known for having the “best ears in the business, but the coldest heart.” On the same day that David attempts to sidestep a pre-negotiated deal to sell his company, he gets a horrifying phone call: his son has been kidnapped, and a hostage taker wants $17 million to release him. (dir. Spike Lee, U.S., 2025, 133 min.)

Jared Hess’ debut film, made for under $500,000, netted more than $45 million at the U.S. box office. It’s a comic take on his small hometown of Preston, Idaho, featuring Napoleon (Jon Heder) a teenage boy so awkward, so out-of-sync, so damn wrong that he ultimately endears himself as an outlaw and fully-fledged hero. His dysfunctional family is equally bad including older brother Kip who has the worst moustache in history (dir. Jared Hess, U.S., 95 min).

After Ashley (Arjona) asks for a divorce, good-natured Carey (Marvin) runs to his friends, Julie (Johnson) and Paul (Covino), for support, he's shocked to discover that the secret to their happiness is an open marriage, that is until Carey crosses the line and throws all of their relationships into chaos.

The Gaza Solidarity Encampment at Columbia University began with 50 students pitching tents in the campus’s designated protest zone, then soon became an international movement demanding university administrations divest from Israel and weapons manufacturing. This stirring film’s protagonists include the personable Mahmoud Khalil (who was arrested in March as part of an effort to deport pro-Palestinian student activists). The strength of the film is that it avoids getting caught up in polemics, instead focusing solely on the encampments and the people who led them. (dir. Kei Pritsker, Michael T Workman, U.S., 2025, 83 min.)

Public intellectual Robert Reich retired from academia in 2022 – his final course was about wealth inequality, one of the key issues of our time. As Reich approaches the final phase of his teaching career—indeed, his life—he spends increasingly large percentages of his time trying to convince students not to be defeatist about trends in economics and world governance. “Pessimism is fine,” he says. “Cynicism is not.” (dir. Elliot Kirschner, U.S., 2025, 71 min.)

Life seems easy for picture-perfect couple Ivy (Olivia Colman) and Theo (Benedict Cumberbatch): successful careers, a loving marriage, great kids. But beneath the façade of their supposed ideal life, a storm is brewing – as Theo’s career nosedives while Ivy’s own ambitions take off, a tinderbox of fierce competition and hidden resentment ignites. The Roses is a reimagining of the 1989 classic film The War of the Roses, based on the novel by Warren Adler. (dir. Jay Roach, U.S., 2025, 121 min.)

Director David Fincher (Fight Club) and writer Aaron Sorkin (A Few Good Men) have made a mischievous tale about the origins of Facebook that combines the talky rigor of Sorkin’s writing with the spooky crispness of Fincher’s imagery. It reveals the early character of Facebook founder Zuckerberg, a perfect storm of social inadequacy, Ivy League exclusivity and computing genius. Fincher and Sorkin never let us forget that we’re complicit in their story (or at least three billion of us are). (dir. David Fincher, U.S., 2010, 120 min.)
