From our Collection
Perfect Days – 2024
From Kanopy:
Hirayama is content with his simple life cleaning toilets in Tokyo. Outside of his structured routine he cherishes music on cassette tapes, books, and taking photos of trees. Unexpected encounters reveal more of his story in a deeply moving and poetic reflection on finding beauty in the world around us.
Hundreds of Beavers – 2024
From Kanopy:
In this wild and wacky black-and-white comedy, a drunken 19th-century applejack salesman finds himself up against an army of beavers after losing everything in a freak snowstorm. With no weapons or supplies, he’s forced to rely on sheer cunning (and pure luck) to outsmart the beavers and survive in the wilderness. What follows is a madcap, slapstick battle of man versus nature, filled with zany antics and unexpected twists. Bursting with old-school physical comedy, this film is a rollicking ride through a frostbitten frontier.
Weird: The Al Yankovic Story – 2022
From Kanopy:
Explores every facet of Yankovic’s life, from his meteoric rise to fame with early hits like ‘Eat It’ and ‘Like a Surgeon’ to his torrid celebrity love affairs and famously depraved lifestyle.
Immaculate – 2024
From Kanopy:
Sydney Sweeney stars as Cecilia, an American nun of devout faith, embarking on a new journey in a remote convent in the picturesque Italian countryside. Cecilia’s warm welcome quickly devolves into a nightmare as it becomes clear her new home harbors a sinister secret and unspeakable horrors.
The Old Oak – 2023
From Kanopy:
The final film from British master Ken Loach (Sorry We Missed You, Kes), THE OLD OAK is a deeply moving drama about loss, fear, and the difficulty of finding hope. The Old Oak is the last pub standing in a once-thriving mining village in northern England, a gathering space for a community that has fallen on hard times. There is growing anger, resentment, and a lack of hope among the residents, but the pub and its proprietor TJ are a fond presence to their customers. When a group of Syrian refugees move into the floundering village, a decisive rift fueled by prejudices develops between the community and its newest inhabitants. The formation of an unexpected friendship between TJ and a young Syrian woman named Yara opens up new possibilities for the divided village.
Odd Man Out – 1947
From Kanopy:
Set in postwar Belfast, this British film noir follows Johnny McQueen (James Mason), the wounded leader of an Irish nationalist group, as he attempts to evade police after a failed robbery. As Johnny navigates the city’s dark alleys and encounters various characters, his struggle for survival becomes increasingly desperate. Directed by Carol Reed and based on the novel by F. L. Green.
