Join us to be the first to hear a special announcement regarding the SNF Parkway's newly revamped filmmaker support services. Then mix and mingle with filmmakers before we kick off Openings with screenings starting at 7:30pm.

The Silent Films featured in this block run the full gamut of cinema, including animated, documentary, narrative and experimental projects, each one enhanced by the transfixing performance of our live musical accompanist. Immediately following the Silent Shorts, the Parkway will present a collection of Animated Films (Narrative) with full sound that tell compelling stories of characters who dare to dream big, open their eyes to new worlds, and seek to realize their true potential.

The premise of this Sundance Audience Award winning film is simple: in order to save her boyfriend’s life, Lola has 20 minutes to find and deliver a bunch of money. How the story is told, however, is anything but simple. Run Lola Run represents a breakthrough in narrative storytelling by telling the same short story three sequential times, each driving to a dramatically different outcome based on a single, minor variation in the plot. The result is an action-packed thriller of a film that pushes us to consider questions of fate and free will. (1998, Germany, 1h 20m, Rated R for some violence and language. In German with English subtitles)
