Winter 2003
Winter Series: 2003
"Jane (Frances McDormand) is a 40-year-old rock chick who has notched up as many failed relationships as she has had hit records. Somehow, though, like the Dylan song, she stays forever young. Her son, Sam (played by Christian Bale), meanwhile, has his sights firmly set on middle age. He has gone to school in the east (to Harvard medical school) and is - well, more than anything else, he is embarrassed by his mother. But when he gets his first post-med-school job at a prestigious psychiatric hospital in LA, he and his girlfriend, Alex (Kate Beckinsale), arrange to live temporarily in Jane’s empty Laurel Canyon home while they look for a place of their own."

1/27 – AMANDALA
The power of song to communicate, motivate, console, unite and, ultimately,
beget change: that ideal, gloriously realized, lies at the heart of
director Lee Hirsch's inspiring feature film documentary Amandla! A
Revolution in Four-Part Harmony. Winner of the Audience Award and Freedom
of Expression Award at the 2002 Sundance Film Festival, Amandla! tells
the story of black South African freedom music and reveals the central
role it played in the long battle against apartheid. The first film
to specifically consider the music that sustained and galvanized black
South Africans for more than 40 years, Amandla!'s focus is on the struggle's
spiritual dimension, as articulated and embodied in song. It is unlike
any other film yet made on the subject of apartheid, and an electrically
expressive portrait of South African life then and now.
