Past Lives is in the conversation as a BEST PICTURE candidate for this year’s Academy Awards. A film about second chances, if you missed Past Lives when we screened it this summer here’s your second chance….
A budding childhood romance between Nora and Hae Sung, classmates at a primary school in Seoul, ends abruptly when Nora’s family emigrates to Canada. Two decades later, they are reunited in New York for one fateful week as they confront notions of destiny and love, and the choices that make a life.
It’s the eve of Christmas in northern Finland, and an ‘archeological’ dig has just unearthed the real Santa Claus. But this particular Santa isn’t the one you want coming to town. When the local children begin mysteriously disappearing, young Pietari and his father Rauno, a reindeer hunter by trade, capture the mythological being and attempt to sell Santa to the misguided leader of the multinational corporation sponsoring the dig. Santa’s elves, however, will stop at nothing to free their fearless leader from captivity. What ensues is a wildly humorous nightmare – a fantastically bizarre polemic on modern day morality.
Join us to watch a fun-filled magical story about the legendary guardians—Jack Frost, the Easter Bunny, Santa Claus, and the Tooth Fairy—together for the first time! When the evil boogeyman Pitch threatens to take over the world, it’s up to our beloved heroes to protect the hopes and dreams of all children. It’s a dazzling and heartwarming family film!
Following the format of the popular live storytelling event produced by The Moth, “Off Night Stories: Winter Holidays” will feature a series of true stories about the holiday season, told live on stage in front of an audience. “Off Night Stories: Winter Holidays” will be performed concert-style, with a live band (lead by Ben Jackson) providing original underscoring and interludes based on popular holiday music. Audiences can look forward to stories ranging from the heartfelt to the hilarious. You’ll hear about ambitious holiday cooking projects. You’ll learn what it’s like to travel cross country during the holidays with two toddlers when absolutely everything that can go wrong does go wrong. You’ll experience the magic of Mexico’s “ La Posadas,” and feel a family’s joy when their father appears unexpectedly on their doorstep on Christmas eve. From finding the strength to forgive, to finding the strength to leave, the stories in this production are a testament to the ways in which the holidays can bring out the best in all of us.

A young boy named Ralphie Parker only wants one thing for Christmas: a Red Ryder BB gun. However, he is not sure he will ever make it to Christmas, between his brother Randy and the school bully Scut Farkus. Whenever he tells someone how much he wants it, he/she tells him that he will shoot his eye out and refuses to get it for him. Even a department store Santa Claus tells him the same thing. After Ralphie gets a C+, he gets teased again by Scut. In response, Ralphie beats him very badly while cursing loudly. However, his parents do not get mad at him, and on Christmas morning, he gets the BB gun, since his father had one at that age. When he goes to try it out, the BB ricochets and knocks off his glasses, which he accidentally steps upon while looking for them. He makes up a story about an icicle, and his parents believe him. In the end, a horde of dogs come in and steal the Christmas turkey, so his family goes out for “Chinese turkey,” or duck.
