Ten years ago David Lowery was virtually an unknown filmmaker. Since then he has made Disney's PETE'S DRAGON and Robert Redford's THE OLD MAN AND THE GUN, as well as the hit A GHOST STORY. Through it all, Lowery has remained an innovative and unpredictable storyteller whose work is steeped in awe-inspiring moments that retain an intimate quality irrespective of their scale. And now with THE GREEN KNIGHT - an hypnotic riff on the fantasy genre - a plucky adventurer endures ghosts, giants, a strange love triangle and a talking fox over the course of his quest that forces him to confront his own mortality. "A dazzling, dizzying fever dream." - Chicago Sun-Times. "...cinema visionary David Lowery delivers a modern masterpiece." - ABC News. THE GREEN KNIGHT opens this Friday (8/20) in the Rose. (Excerpted from IndieWire)
New to our Film Library this week (8/20) is BARBARA LEE: SPEAKING TRUTH TO POWER, a stirring profile of the California Representative who for two decades has been a steadfast voice for human rights, peace and equality in the U.S. Congress. (And the only member of Congress to vote against war in Afghanistan in 2001.) "A compelling and inspiring profile." -SFILM
UPDATED COVID SAFETY ANNOUNCEMENT

Proof of vaccination may inlcude your vaccination card, a legible copy of the card on your phone, or an official digital pass along with your photo ID.

This decision was not made lightly, and not without long conversations with my staff, along with customer feedback since our re-opening. We recognize that this limits access to some patrons, but like many other organizations, we are taking this temporary measure to protect our community and our staff. We appreciate your cooperation and understanding as we continue to navigate the ever-changing COVID landscape.
