ACTION for Bloomington area crew: This Friday, January 30th, at noon, WALK OUT and join a rally at City Hall to demand that the City of Bloomington cut its contract with Flock — those mass surveillance cameras that feed info to ICE and who knows who!
Police departments are known to share Flock surveillance data to make it easier for ICE to abduct people off the streets. After the murder of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis this week on top of the thousands of other victims of ICE’s state violence make any tool that aids ICE unacceptable.
Abolish ICE, cut the contract! 🚫🧊
Solidarity with Minneapolis 🌹

Game Night turns an extra Friday into playful community. Every fifth Friday we gather to play board games, cards, and tabletop fun. Drop in for an hour or stay all evening. With a new craft night each week, there’s always a chance to try something different, create, and connect. Game Night is low-stakes and joyful, full of laughter, shared stories, and friendly competition. Winter can feel long but evenings like this remind us that community is built in small moments. Everyone is welcome, everyone is invited, and everyone can play.

Caleb Synan is one of the hottest young comics in the country. (Funny AND good looking!)

He’s performed on CONAN (twice!), Last Comic Standing (once!), and his first Comedy Central special “30” in 2022 (You can watch it on YouTube!)
Nina is a skilled obstetrician at a maternity hospital in Eastern Georgia. After a difficult delivery, an infant dies and the grief-racked father demands an inquiry into her methods. The resulting scrutiny threatens to bring to light Nina’s work—providing unsanctioned abortions to desperate girls and women—and to destroy the profession that is the only source of meaning in her life. The second feature of acclaimed Georgia director Dea Kulumbegashvili, April is a profoundly committed work that immerses the viewer in the reality of lives constrained by patriarchal tradition.

A frustrated filmmaker, facing creative paralysis, turns to an A.I. chatbot in order to make his latest movie a hit. The result is a series of increasingly outrageous vignettes exploring the myth of Dracula in all its forms. From a wild chase through the streets of modern Transylvania to eerie hauntings in the Romanian countryside, cinematic provocateur Radu Jude returns with another boundary-pushing epic featuring a union-busting Dracula breaking a strike, an adaptation of the first Romanian vampire novella, thwarted romance, fields of phalluses, lots of blood, and much more.

A passionate and concise cinematic civics lesson, Good Night, and Good Luck resonates today, perhaps more than ever. When Senator Joseph McCarthy begins his campaign to root out Communists in America, CBS News impresario Edward R. Murrow (David Strathairn) dedicates himself to exposing the atrocities being committed by McCarthy’s Senate investigation. Murrow is supported by a news team that includes longtime friend and producer Fred Friendly (George Clooney) as the CBS team does its best to point out the senator’s lies and excesses, despite pressure from CBS’ corporate sponsors to desist.

The Hidden Fortress stars the inimitable Toshiro Mifune as a general charged with guarding his defeated clan’s princess (a fierce Misa Uehara) as the two smuggle royal treasure across hostile territory. Accompanying them are a pair of bumbling, conniving peasants who may or may not be their friends. This rip-roaring ride is among the director’s most beloved films and was a primary influence on George Lucas’s Star Wars. The Hidden Fortress delivers Kurosawa’s trademark deft blend of wry humor, breathtaking action, and compassionate humanity. [139 min; action, adventure, drama; Japanese with English subtitles]

Synopsis: In 1974, acclaimed photographer Peter Hujar describes the routines and rituals that define an artist’s life to his friend, the writer Linda Rosenkrantz, capturing a single day’s activities in touching and funny detail: from interactions with cultural icons of the day, including Allen Ginsberg, William S. Burroughs and Susan Sontag, to the texture and energy of downtown New York in its heyday. Ben Whishaw and Rebecca Hall star in the elegant and intimate new piece from filmmaker Ira Sachs (Passages) — a dazzling showcase for the two performers at its centre — that is both a masterful portrait of a time & place and a captivating film about the way art emerges from the intimate details of everyday life.

Melt the ICE Hat is a modern knit pattern recreating the Norwegian resistance hat worn during World War II. In the 1940s, Norwegians secretly made and wore red pointed hats with a tassel as a silent protest of Nazi occupation. The Nazis banned the hats in February 1942, making it illegal to wear, and punishable by law to make or distribute them.
A large segment of Minnesota residents come from Norwegian heritage and therefore it was decided as purveyors of the traditional craft, to resurrect this symbolic act of resistance.
…and what a great way to spend a winter afternoon together!
The Melt the ICE Hat uses approximately 200 yards of red yarn (fingering, DK, or Worsted weight) and is designed for circular needles in US sizes 4–8 mm. Finished size: 22” circumference. Juniper Art Gallery has purchased the pattern for you to use.
The red tassel hat remains a powerful emblem of quiet resistance, rooted in Norway’s wartime defiance. Please bring your red yarn, scissors, tapestry needles and your enthusiasm!

You’ll leave class understanding how to build a soup that has depth, comfort, and luxury.

Demonstration style class with Erika Yochum.
We encourage you to sign up for classes online. When you register online, you’ll also pay online. While we will accept walk-ins before class if capacity allows, registering ahead of time secures your spot and creates a more seamless class experience.

Road trip. Hitchhiking adventure. What could go wrong.
In 1972, filmmaker Ron Osgood set out on a road trip through Northern California that quickly turned into an unexpected hitchhiking adventure. For decades, he shared the story from memory, until he rediscovered an audio cassette he had recorded to preserve its details. That discovery inspired him to retrace and investigate what truly happened. I Do Remember weaves memory and evidence into a timeless question:
Where does the truth lie?
After the screening, Ron will lead a Q/A and discussion on how to research, collect evidence, and fact-check when developing a personal narrative.
I Do Remember will broadcast on PBS stations in 2026.

Anu and Prabha, roommates and coworkers, experience connection and heartache, hope and disappointment in Kapadia’s lyrically naturalistic and incandescent film. Prabha, her husband from an arranged marriage living in faraway Germany, is pursued by a courtly doctor while Anu carries on a romance with a Muslim man. Kapadia captures the bustle of the metropolis and the open-air tranquility of a seaside resort with equal radiance, articulated by the superb cast. All We Imagine as Light is a soulful study of the transformative power of friendship and sisterhood, in all its complexities and richness. Winner of the Cannes Grand Prix, nominated for two Golden Globes and a BAFTA, and Sight & Sound’s Best Film of 2024. [118 min; drama; Malayalam and Hindi with English subtitles]
