Blue Jean is a fictional film set against this real-life backdrop. Jean is living a double life, but not because she wants to. By day, she teaches PE to teenagers at the local public school—at night, she hits up the local lesbian bar with her partner and their crew of friends. It’s unjust, but Jean’s primary concern is to keep her job. When a new student starts turning up in Jean’s after-hours social circle, her scrupulously separated identities are threatened. Rosy McEwan gives an astonishingly sensitive lead performance as a fundamentally decent person who, cornered by societal pressures, is all too capable of betraying others in the interest of saving her own skin. Georgia Oakley’s impressive debut feature was nominated for 13 British Film Independent Awards, second only to Aftersun.(97 min)
Billy and Ray are lifelong best friends — and the last two men on earth. Their survival is largely due to Ray, a brilliant scientist who designed a domed structure with all the systems necessary to sustain life on a planet that could no longer support it.
Their custom biosphere is outfitted with basic necessities and creature comforts that make it possible to retain a sense of what life used to be like. A hydroponic garden provides fresh vegetables and a carefully managed fishpond supplies essential protein.
Recently, however, fish have begun dying at an alarming rate. With a mere three fish remaining, Billy and Ray face an ominous future. But life may yet find a way.
Sterling K. Brown and Mark Duplass star. Written and produced by the Duplass Brothers, perhaps best known for their HBO series Togetherness and Room 104 (106 minutes)

On the eve of Prohibition, old school pals Mary (Joan Blondell), Vivian (Ann Dvorak), and Ruth (Bette Davis) are reunited through a chance encounter and catch up on each other’s swerving fates. Hard-partying Vivian, who is married to a successful lawyer and seemingly enjoys a dazzling and glamorous life, remains unsatisfied. To fulfill her wanderlust, she takes off with a dangerous mobster, leaving behind her husband and young son. The twists and turns increase from there, leading to a dramatic and memorable end (which includes an early screen appearance by eventual film star Humphrey Bogart). [63 min; crime, drama, romance; English]

“Isn’t it a fascinating design? One could study it forever,” Hitchcock remarked to Francois Truffaut of the elaborately structured Strangers opens on an NYC-bound train, where Guy, a tennis star who wants out of his unhappy marriage, encounters a charming psychopath named Bruno who offers him a coolly unhinged plan to accomplish just that: they can swap murders. Bruno will murder Guy’s wife if Guy will do away with Bruno’s troublesome dad.

CatVideoFest returns once again to IU Cinema! 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. [75 min; comedy, crime, drama]
IU Cinema’s CatVideoFest 2023 screening supports The Ranch Cat Rescue, whose mission is to provide a safe environment to foundling felines and help cats in need become adopted into loving forever families. The Ranch assists with TNR (trap, neuter, return) work in the Bloomington, Ind., community (and beyond), advocates for cat welfare, and helps to educate the public so together we can work to save the lives of cats and kittens. Since its founding in 2020, The Ranch has helped nearly 300 cats and kittens find a safe landing place.
Also participating in this year’s purr-fect feline festivities is Pets Alive, which provides the compassionate solution to end the unnecessary euthanasia of cats (and dogs) by offering affordable, high-quality spay/neuter services. Pets Alive works to improve the health and well-being of cats and dogs by partnering with the animal welfare community to provide life-saving programs and compassionate solutions to pet overpopulation. Spay/neuter saves lives!
