SUMMARY:National Theatre Live: The Audience
DESCRIPTION:Date: Saturday\, April 11 at 12pm \nRuntime: 3 hours\, with intermission \nMPA Rating: Not Rated (treat as PG-13) \nOrganization: Maine Film Center \nVenue: Maine Film Center\, 93 Main Street\, Waterville\, Maine \nThis film is eligible for the Youth Arts Access Fund. \nReturning to cinemas for the first time in over a decade\, Helen Mirren plays Queen Elizabeth II in the Olivier and Tony Award-winning hit production\, directed by Stephen Daldry. \nFor 60 years\, Queen Elizabeth II met with each of her 12 prime ministers in a private weekly meeting. This meeting is known as The Audience. From Winston Churchill to Margaret Thatcher and David Cameron\, the Queen advised her prime ministers on matters both public and personal. Through these private audiences\, we see glimpses of the woman behind the crown and witness the moments that shaped a monarch. \nPeter Morgan’s Netflix phenomenon The Crown was based on this hit play that was captured live from London’s West End in 2013 and went on to become one of the most-watched National Theatre Live productions. \ntickets

SUMMARY:Cinema Explorations: Santosh
DESCRIPTION:Date: February 28 + March 1 at 10am \nRuntime: 2 hours 8 minutes \nMPA Rating: R \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. \nNewly widowed Santosh inherits her husband's job as a police constable in the rural badlands of Northern India. When a girl's body is found\, she's pulled into the investigation under the wing of charismatic feminist inspector Sharma.

SUMMARY:Met Opera Encore: Cinderella
DESCRIPTION:This abridged\, English-language version of Massenet’s enchanting fairy-tale opera stars beloved mezzo-soprano Isabel Leonard as the rags-to-riches title princess\, with Emmanuel Villaume on the podium. The whimsical production by Laurent Pelly draws inspiration from a child’s storybook\, with larger-than-life costumes and zany characters. Running under two hours\, this is a particularly good title for younger audiences. Charles Perrault’s classic telling of the Cinderella story is an excellent source for an opera—providing color\, romance\, and relatable themes for audiences of all ages. \nThis presentation is a high-definition rebroadcast from the Metropolitan Opera in New York City. \nAll Met Opera Encore shows >> \nAdmission: $16-$19. Eligible for the Youth Arts Access Fund. \ntickets + trailer

DESCRIPTION:Date: February 14 + 15 at 1:30pm \nRuntime: 2 hours 10 minutes \nMPA Rating: R \nOrganization: Maine Film Center \nVenue: Maine Film Center\, 93 Main Street\, Waterville\, Maine \nThis film is eligible for the Youth Arts Access Fund. \n\n\n\nTwo women\, a turquoise Thunderbird\, the ride of a lifetime. \nMeek housewife Thelma (Geena Davis) joins her friend Louise (Susan Sarandon)\, an independent waitress\, on a short fishing trip. When a chance encounter at a roadside bar goes horribly wrong\, their weekend getaway becomes a high-speed flight from the law as the two women attempt to flee to Mexico\, meeting a host of characters along the way that include the dashing-but-dangerous J.D. (Brad Pitt's star-making role) and a sympathetic police officer (Harvey Keitel). There's no trip like a girls' trip! \nWinning an Oscar for Callie Khoury's screenplay and nominated for five others\, including two Best Actresses and Best Director\, Ridley Scott's legendary feminist ride-or-die road trip is an utterly irresistible reimagining of the previously male-dominated road odyssey genre that reminds us of the resources\, capabilities\, and freedoms we may not know we possess. "Thelma and Louise celebrates the myth of two carefree souls piling into a 1956 T-Bird and driving out of town to have some fun and raise some hell. We know the road better than that\, however\, and we know the toll it exacts: Before their journey is done\, these characters will have undergone a rite of passage\, and will have discovered themselves."—Roger Ebert.

SUMMARY:Cool Runnings
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, February 8 at 12:00 p.m. \nMonday\, February 9 at 7:00 p.m. \nCelebrate the beginning of the Winter Olympics with the Jamaican bobsled team! \nJamaican sprinter Derice has dreams of competing at the Olympics\, but he never expected to be disqualified in the eligibility trials. Refusing to give up\, he enlists the help of a disgraced former Olympian to train himself and three other athletes to become Jamaica's first bobsled team. The only problem is\, how do you train a bobsled team that's never even seen snow before? \nBased on the real story of Jamaica's inaugural bobsled team and featuring John Candy in one of his best roles\, Cool Runnings is "a sweet-natured\, high-spirited comedy\, that rare movie that plays effectively to all ages. Even rarer\, it celebrates genuine sportsmanship\, placing the emphasis back on how the game is played in the face of the winning-is-everything philosophy that permeates every aspect of contemporary life."—Kevin Thomas\, Los Angeles Times. \n(PG-13\, 108 min.\, 1993) \ntickets + trailer

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
