Fred
Date	Location
Following his previous feature, The Caller (2008), director Richard Ledes again calls on the deadpan comedic skills of Elliot Gould to play the eponymous Fred – a man stubbornly refusing to accompany his Alzheimer’s suffering wife to her new care home. A comedy of errors akin to Woody Allen – if only for the casting of Fred Melamed and Stephanie Roth Haberle as Fred’s exasperated son and daughter. This is also a delightfully imaginative look at the nature of transitions – geographical… View full details and ticket info

Free Men (Les hommes libres)
Date	Location
Younes (Rahim) is a young Algerian working in WW II Paris when the Germans enter; the authorities give him the choice between prison, or spying on a mosque suspected of smuggling out Jews disguised as Muslims. Ferroukhi's film is worthy, but lacks dramatic tension and a properly fleshed-out protagonist. View full details
