“Champions” - (PG13; 2 hours, 3 minutes) – One week only! - The story follows Marcus Markovich (Woody Harrelson), who coaches a minor-league basketball team in the hopes of one day making it to the NBA. However, he loses his temper and causes a commotion on the court as the game is being broadcast, leading to his dismissal. “Champions” is based on the true story of Aderes, a team that has been aiming to win the Valencian Special Olympics for years. The original film Campeones was well appreciated by viewers and was the highest-grossing Spanish film of the year in 2018. Wednesday, March 29, 7 p.m., Thursday, March 30, 7 p.m.

Woody Harrelson offers a winning, low-key performance with a high feel-good percentage.” – Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun Times

“The Quiet Girl” - (PG13; 1 hour, 34 minutes) - Rural Ireland. 1981. Nine-year-old Cait is sent away from her overcrowded, dysfunctional family to live with foster parents for the summer.

Plays at 7 p.m. Friday, March 31, Saturday, April 1, Wednesday, April 5, Thursday, April 6; and Sunday, April 2 at 2 p.m.

"A genuine work of art by a genuinely empathetic artist, and one of the single most moving, heartfelt, and heartbreaking movies from any country in the last decade. That only sounds like hyperbole until you see it." -David Fear, Rolling Stone

“The Lost King” - (PG13; 1 hour, 48 minutes) - In 2012, after having been lost for over 500 years, the remains of King Richard III were discovered beneath a carpark in Leicester.

Plays at 7 p.m. Friday, April 7, Saturday, April 8, Wednesday, April 12, Thursday April 13; and on Sunday, April 9 at 2 p.m.
