Sneak Preview with Director
The Romantics Thurs. Sept. 9, 7:30 pm
Over the course of one raucous night at a seaside wedding, seven close friends reconvene to watch two of their own tie the knot.

Based on the heralded novel by Galt Niederhoffer, The Romantics features an ensemble cast including Katie Holmes, Anna Paquin, Josh Duhamel, Elijah Wood, among others.
Galt Niederhoffer. 2010. 95 m. PG-13. US. Paramount.

Daddy Longlegs Fri. Sept. 17, 5:30 pm
From emerging filmmakers Ben and Joshua Safdie comes Daddy Longlegs, a hit at last year's Cannes and this year's Sundance Film Festival. The film tells the story of a troubled and sometimes irresponsible single father during a two week custody visit with his two young sons in New York City. Invoking the rough, wild, and loose 1970s style of John Cassavetes and Jerry Schatzberg, "Daddy Longlegs is a risky, heartbreaking exercise in empathy toward a person who may not deserve it." (New York Times)
Josh Safdie/Benny Safdie. 2010. 100 m. NR. IFC.
Q&A: writer/directors Ben Safdie and Joshua Safdie interviewed by JBFC programmer Adam Leon.
Tickets: $6 (members), $11 (nonmembers)
