Aug 27- Sept 2: Breathtaking Documentary Gunda Opens! Matt Damon in Stillwater; Mad Max 2 & More!

See the breathtaking documentary, Gunda, this week. Nature lovers will love this one-of-a-kind film on the big screen!

Experiential cinema in its purest form, Gunda chronicles the unfiltered lives of a mother pig, a flock of chickens, and a herd of cows with masterful intimacy. We're really excited to be bringing this unique cinema experience to the big screen at the Playhouse this weekend! From the director of 'Aquarela.'

"What's so remarkable about Gunda is not only how beautifully Kossakovsky renders these humble surroundings, but how much drama he manages to excavate from the daily to-ing and fro-ing of farmyard life." - Independent

Missed The Green Knight with us last week? We have you covered this week with more screenings of David Lowery's hit indie based on the Arthurian legend of Sir Gawain! It's not to be missed on the big screen... (also all the wardrobes in the film are 100% vegan, cool right?)

"The Green Knight -- an epic in miniature, a fantasy all the more poignant for its moral realities -- makes this a lesson worth learning" - Rolling Stone

Matt Damon is back on the big screen with Stillwater at the Playhouse starting this Friday. If you're looking for a little bit of a thriller / mystery vibe at the movies this weekend, this is a sure-fire pick.
