Lee
Wednesday, November 13th
Friday, November 15th
2 and 7:30 p.m.
Rated R, 117 minutes
Directed by Ellen Kuras, 2024, United States
Lee, the directorial feature from award-winning cinematographer Ellen Kuras, portrays a pivotal decade in the life of American war correspondent and photographer, Lee Miller (Kate Winslet). Miller's singular talent and unbridled tenacity resulted in some of the 20th century's most indelible images of war, including an iconic photo of Miller herself, posing defiantly in Hitler's private bathtub. Miller had a profound understanding and empathy for women and the voiceless victims of war. Her images display both the fragility and ferocity of the human experience. Above all, the film shows how Miller lived her life at full-throttle in pursuit of truth, for which she paid a huge personal price, forcing her to confront a traumatic and deeply buried secret from her childhood.

Not Rated, 99 minutes
Directed by Gabriel Kahane, 2024, United State
Gabriel Kahane’s deeply personal feature debut chronicles a lawbreaking teenager (Justin Mark) forced to work at a wig shop for cancer patients owned by the warm-hearted Susan (Catherine Curtin), where he befriends a guarded woman (Holly Heiser) who irreversibly alters the course of his life. It’s a film that gives an honest peek into the often bleak (albeit exceedingly human) existence of Benji, his drug-addicted, alcoholic mother, absentee father, and the others in his orbit. Filmed entirely in Utica, N.Y., and surrounding communities, this will be the film’s regional premier. Select members of the cast and production team will be in attendance, including director Gabriel Kahane. Special thanks to our promotional partner, Film Utica, for their assistance.
