 “Columbus”  -   Jin (John Cho), a young Korean, strikes up a friendship with Casey (Haley Lu Richardson), an architecture enthusiast who works at the local library. Jin and Casey explore buildings by modern architects I. M. Pei and Eero Saarinen as they delve into their conflicted emotions over each other and their difficult parents.   "Columbus" (not rated), 104 minutes plays Wednesday 10/11 at 7 p.m.

“School Life”  -  In "School Life," long careers are drawing to a close for John and Amanda, who teach Latin, English, and guitar at stately Headtford School in Ireland, where they are legends  with a mantra: "Reading. 'Rithmetic. Rock 'n' roll!" The camera follows this couple, who met and married at the school 46 years ago, as they both educate and care for their wards.  Sometimes hilarious, sometimes touching, "School Life" shines a light on two wildly different ways of teaching, that both, in the end, produce the right results.   

“Dolores” - Peter Bratt’s documentary "Dolores” gives equal focus on some lesser-known battles, as the living legend, Dolores Huerta, stood up to patriarchy, even within the UFW group she co-founded. Like Cesar Chavez, she was a hero to the labor movement. But because she is a woman, there was an amplified cost. Raising 11 children while wrestling with gender bias, union defeat and victory, and nearly dying after a San Francisco Police beating, Dolores Huerta bucks 1950s gender conventions to co-found the country's first farmworkers union. This film has not been rated. Final screenings Wednesday, Oct. 11 at 7 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 12 at 2 p.m.

“Forgotten Farms” ( plus discussion)  -  This documentary examines class divides in our farm and food communities. Most people buy their food in supermarkets and don’t have a chance to meet their farmer, as the bumper sticker recommends. But in more affluent communities, farm-to-table restaurants, farmer's markets and CSAs are booming and the new farmers are celebrated.  There is another farmer who is left out of the local food celebration. New England has lost over 10,000 dairy farms in the past 50 years; fewer than 2,000 farms remain. Collectively, they tend 1.2 million acres of farmland and produce almost all the milk consumed in New England. In our enthusiasm for the new food movement, we often overlook the farmers at the foundation of the regional agricultural economy.  There will be a Q&A with David Simonds, the director, after the screening. Playing Thursday, Oct. 12 at 7 p.m. Presented in partnership with Lincoln Academy.

“North by Northwest”  -   Lincoln Theater's Classic Film Club presents its first film. Cary Grant stars as an innocent man mistaken for a spy in one of Hitchcock's greatest thrillers from 1959.  While leaving New York's Plaza Hotel, advertising executive Roger Thornhill (Grant) has the misfortune of standing just as the name "George Kaplan" is paged -- starting a lethal case of mistaken identity and a nonstop game of cat and mouse as he is pursued across North America by espionage agents trying to kill him... and by police who suspect him of murder.  All are welcome.  Playing Friday, Oct. 13 at 2 p.m.  Regular movie ticket prices apply.

“Wind River”  -  A  chilling thriller that follows a rookie FBI agent (Elizabeth Olsen) who teams up with a local game tracker with deep community ties and a haunted past (Jeremy Renner) to investigate the murder of a local girl on a remote Native American Reservation in the hopes of solving her mysterious death.
