Into the Unknown
NR
1h 40m
Executive produced by Steve Buscemi, Emergency! icons Randolph Mantooth and Kevin Tighe, and directed by award-winning filmmaker Tom Putnam (BURN), INTO THE UNKNOWN goes inside the lives of the paramedics, dispatchers, and families who form the largely unseen backbone of America’s emergency medical system. With extraordinary access, the film follows first responders from the adrenaline of the call to the quieter moments afterward, revealing the skill, humor, sacrifice, and humanity required to do a job where every shift can mean the difference between life and death. But behind the heroism lies another story: the cumulative impact of trauma, exhaustion, and loss on the people society depends upon in its worst moments. Moving between the front lines and the lives responders return to when the sirens stop, INTO THE UNKNOWN examines both the profound rewards and the personal cost of answering the call. The result is a deeply human portrait of a profession most of us will depend on someday, but few of us truly understand.

Princess Mononoke – Studio Ghibli Fest 26(Dubbed)
TBC
2h 21m
A beautifully realized tale of civilization versus nature, PRINCESS MONONOKE is a true epic by Japan’s master animator Hayao Miyazaki.
While protecting his village from a rampaging boar-god, the young warrior Ashitaka becomes afflicted with a deadly curse. To find the cure that will save his life, he journeys deep into the sacred depths of the Great Forest Spirit’s realm where he meets San (Princess Mononoke), a girl raised by wolves. It’s not long before Ashitaka is caught in the middle of a battle between iron-ore prospecting humans and the forest dwellers. He must summon the spirit-powers and all his courage to stop man and nature from destroying
each other.
One of Miyazaki’s most dark and mature films and certainly violent, PRINCESS MONONOKE is a fantasy epic with a dire environmental message. The end result is almost Kurosawa-Esque in story and structure. Whilst initial box-office was poor in the West, eventually became Studio Ghibli’s breakthrough film off the back of home video sales.

The Pygmalion Effect
NR
1h 25m
Boris Eifman’s Pygmalion Effect reveals the celebrated choreographer at his most psychologically sharp, fusing virtuosic classical technique with visceral emotional power. Inspired by George Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion, this production reimagines the story as a dark, modern ballet about artistic control and human transformation. Eifman’s distinctive movement language captures the volatile bond between a brilliant, domineering creator and the young woman he reshapes, exposing desire, manipulation, and vulnerability beneath the polish. Dramatically charged and emotionally rich, the ballet exemplifies Eifman’s gift for turning narrative dance into gripping psychological theater.
