A SECOND CHILDHOOD: THE CINEMA OF FEDERICO FELLINI
Thu, Jun 2, 2011 - Thu, Jun 23, 2011

Italian director Federico Fellini (1920 - 1993) remains in a category all his own, godfather to a carnival gallery of prostitutes, strongmen, film directors, vaudevillians and clowns, who share a sympathetic bond with each other against the often cruel and unfeeling "civilized" world. His greatest works, including 8 1/2, LA DOLCE VITA, NIGHTS OF CABIRIA, LA STRADA and AMARCORD, seem to spring from an almost unbridled imagination, but one that is connected to a profound understanding of the human experience.

SERIOUSLY FUNNY: AN IN PERSON TRIBUTE TO MICHAEL KEATON
Fri, May 13, 2011 - Sun, May 15, 2011

After an initial foray into standup comedy and sitcoms, Michael Keaton quickly became a big-screen star in comic gems like NIGHT SHIFT and MR. MOM in the early 1980s. It was 1988, however, when the world really appreciated his gifts in two very different roles: as an addict trying to go straight in the drama CLEAN AND SOBER, and as a mischievous ghost in Tim Burton's outrageous supernatural comedy BEETLEJUICE. Michael Keaton will appear in person for a double feature of BEETLEJUICE and MULTIPLICITY.
