SUMMARY:Cinema Explorations: Familiar Touch
DESCRIPTION:Date: January 31 + February 1 at 10am \nRuntime: 1 hour 30 minutes \nMPA Rating: Not Rated \nOrganization: Maine Film Center \nVenue: Maine Film Center\, 93 Main Street\, Waterville\, Maine \nFree and open to all\, ticket reservations encouraged. \nPart of Cinema Explorations\, a wintertime community-curated film series. \nMany films show us experiences we have never had nor do we ever expect to have. Ruth (Kathleen Chalfant) and her family are experiencing something we will find familiar. It is also likely that we have pondered whether Ruth’s fate could be our own. When her son (H. Jon Benjamin) arrives\, she mistakes him for a suitor. Their “date” takes them to an assisted living facility Ruth does not remember she had previously selected for herself. Among her fellow memory care residents\, Ruth feels certain she is somewhere she does not belong. As she slowly begins to accept the warmth and support of care workers Vanessa (Carolyn Michelle) and Brian (Andy McQueen)\, she finds new ways to ground herself in her body even as her mind embarks on a journey all its own. \nThis coming-of-old-age feature from writer-director Sarah Friedland (the 2025 Independent Spirit Someone to Watch Award-winner) compassionately follows the winding path of octogenarian Ruth’s shifting memories and desires while remaining rooted in her sage perspective. "Friedland’s film\, as sharp as it is soft\, conveys both the terror of losing the life you recognize\, and the intermittent\, fragmented joy of finding it again."—Guy Lodge\, Variety. \ntickets

SUMMARY:The Nerd
DESCRIPTION:An aspiring architect in Terre Haute\, Indiana\, Willum Cubbert often speaks of the debt he owes to Rick Steadman\, a fellow ex-GI whom he has never met but who saved his life after he was seriously wounded in Vietnam. He has written to Rick to say that\, as long as he is alive\, “you will have somebody on Earth who will do anything for you” — so Willum is delighted when Rick shows up unexpectedly at his apartment. But his delight soon fades as it becomes apparent that Rick is a hopeless “nerd” — a bumbling oaf with no social sense\, little intelligence\, and less tact. And Rick stays on and on\, his continued presence among Willum and his friends leading to one uproarious incident after another\, until the normally placid Willum finds himself contemplating violence — a dire development which\, happily\, is staved off by the surprising “twist” ending of the play. \nSix Performances:  \n\nJanuary 30 & 31 + February 6 & 7 at 7:30 p.m.\nFebruary 1 & 8 at 2:00 p.m.\n\nTickets: $32 - $34. This event is eligible for the Youth Arts Access Fund. \nmore info + tickets
