Tuesday, October 20^th, 7pm: Film Special: “Food Chains”

(Loew Auditorium, Black Family Visual Arts Center, Free and Open to the Public)

The narrative of the film focuses on an intrepid and highly lauded group of tomato pickers from Southern Florida–the Coalition of Immokalee Workers or CIW–who are revolutionizing farm labor. Their story is one of hope and promise for the triumph of morality over corporate greed–to ensure a dignified life for farm workers and a more humane, transparent food chain. Food Chains premiered at the 2014 Berlin Film Festival and screened subsequently at the Tribeca Film Festival and Guadalajara Film Festival.  It won the 2015 James Beard Foundation Award for Documentary. D: Sanjay Rawal, US 2014, 83m

Friday, October 23^rd, 7pm: Hop Film: “Grandma”

(Loew Auditorium, Black Family Visual Arts Center, $5 for students)

Lily Tomlin hits a career high point in Paul Weitz’s (About a Boy) caustically funny dramedy about mothers, daughters—and fearless grandmas. Acerbic aging poet Elle (Tomlin) is still reeling from a breakup when her teen granddaughter unexpectedly shows up at her door pregnant, in need of $600 and a ride. What ensues is an urban road trip in Elle’s vintage Dodge to visit old friends and flames, rattling skeletons and digging up secrets all over town trying to rustle up the cash. D: Paul Weitz, US, 2015, 82m

Saturday, October 24^th, 9pm: Hop Film: “Straight Outta Compton”

(Loew Auditorium, Black Family Visual Arts Center, $5 for students)

Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, Eazy-E, DJ Yella and MC Ren: these five young men emerged from the streets of Compton in the mid-1980s and translated their experiences into brutally honest music that rebelled against abusive authority, giving an explosive voice to a silenced generation. A feast for hip-hop connoisseurs and novices alike, this undeniably of-the-moment biopic charts the meteoric rise of N.W.A, whose controversial 1988 anthem “F–k tha Police” scarcely seems to have aged.  D: F. Gary Gray, US, 2015, 147m

Sunday, October 25^th, 4pm: DFS Film: “Best of Enemies”

(Loew Auditorium, Black Family Visual Arts Center, $5 for students)

Ever wonder how election season became a blood sport? Dead last in the ratings, ABC hired two towering public intellectuals to debate each other–conservative William F. Buckley and leftist novelist Gore Vidal–and their explosive exchanges launched ABC’s ratings sky high. “For American viewers of an intellectual/historical persuasion, there could scarcely be any documentary more enticing, scintillating and downright fascinating than Best of Enemies” (Hollywood Reporter).  D: Morgan Neville, US, 2015, 87m

(Loew Auditorium, Black Family Visual Arts Center, $5 for students)

In Satyajit Ray's second film in his acclaimed trilogy, young Apu and his family move from their rural village to the holy city of Benares, where Apu’s father has found work as a priest.
