The First Grader (Justin Chadwick - UK/ Kenya, 120 min.)
Thursday, April 21, 2011 12:15pm

In a small, remote mountain top primary school in the Kenyan bush, hundreds of children are jostling for a chance for the free education newly promised by the Kenyan government. One new applicant causes astonishment when he knocks on the door of the school. He is Maruge (Oliver Litondo), an old Mau Mau veteran in his eighties, who is desperate to learn to read at this late stage of his life. He fought for the liberation of his country and now feels he must have the chance of an education so long denied - even if it means sitting in a classroom alongside six-year-olds.

Tuesday, After Christmas (Radu Muntean - Romania, 99 min.)
Thursday, April 21, 2011 2:30pm

Selected for Cannes and the New York Film Festival, “Tuesday, After Christmas” is yet another shining example of the Romanian new wave. Paul loves two women. Adriana his wife and mother of their daughter- who is the woman with whom he's shared the thrills of the past ten years; and Raluca the woman who has made him redefine himself. He has to leave one of them before Christmas. In some hands this would be the stuff of slapstick and mayhem. In the hands of Muntean and his pitch-perfect cast, it’s a moving portrayal of the directions modern life takes us. Starring Dragos Bucur, Maria Popistasu and Mimi Branescu.

Jess + Moss (Clay Jeter - USA, 82 min)
Thursday, April 21, 2011 5:00pm

Coming from the Sundance and Berlin Film Festivals, “Jess + Moss” is the story of second cousins who have spent their summers together as long as either of them can remember. With no immediate families that they can relate to, and lacking friends their own age (she’s 18; he’s 12), all they have is each other and the abandoned farm house where they store the souvenirs of their lives. Through a series of memories and vignettes, “Jess + Moss” recounts the events of their final summer together. Starring Sarah Hagan and Austin Vickers.

Nenette (Nicolas Philibert - France, 70 min.)
Thursday, April 21, 2011 5:30pm

Nénette is a 40-year-old orangutan born in Borneo and raised in the Paris Zoo that is her home to this day. She’s raised four children (one still lives with her in her habitat); outlived three mates; and bonds with very few of her keepers. Nénette is also the star of a beautifully-composed documentary from the director of 2003’s “To Be and to Have.”
