Recently released from prison, Arthur (The Crown’s Josh O’Connor) arrives in a rumpled suit to a rural town in Italy. There, he connects with a band of “tombaroli” - tomb raiders who dig up ancient graves to steal the long long treasures buried with the dead. As Arthur and the ragtag team of thieves hunt for spoils, he also searches for the woman he lost, Beniamina. In this beguiling and delightful fairy tale from Alice Rohrwacher (HAPPY AS LAZZARO), the intertwined destinies of these characters, all in search of unrealized dreams, unfold. 

From 2011 to 2013, a spate of robberies occurred in Los Angeles high schools. The stolen goods? Tubas. In this “groundbreaking work of art” (Josh Flanders, Chicago Reader), hard of hearing filmmaker Alison O’Daniel blurs documentary and fictional elements to explore what it means to listen. Through several d/Deaf people telling stories in a unique game of telephone, THE TUBA THIEVES unfolds not as a mystery around stolen instruments, but as a sonic experience that examines the nature of sound itself. All screenings presented with open captions. Film Center exclusive.

As he approaches the end of his twenties, Drew has come to a decision: quit his job as a data analyst. “I just don’t like it,” he explains to his boss. “Spreadsheets, numbers…I just thought there would be more to it.” Enthusiastic about embracing life, the charmingly awkward Drew, through a series of experiences and interactions as a newly-unemployed person, comes to realize he doesn’t have much of a life to embrace. In this idiosyncratic comedy debut from director Ryan Martin Brown, reminiscent of early Woody Allen with a dash of Curb Your Enthusiasm cringe, the essence of millennial ennui is brought to witty life against the background of New York City. Film Center exclusive.
