Elva: Art of Redemption tells the story of Lancaster County, PA Artist Elva Hurst's journey from the Old Order Mennonite Church. The movie introduces two local spiritual leaders, Pastor Timothy Wagner and Deacon William Bowen, who have small roles in the production and are spearheading the restoration work on the Cross River 1791 Meeting House. Wagner and Bowen presided at the funeral of the last member of the Cross River Meeting House this past July and received the keys to the historic property.

A portion of the proceeds will go towards the effort to save the Cross River 1791 Meeting House.

Vibrant orange sunflowers. Rippling yellow grain. Trees bursting with white bloom. "The pictures come to me as in a dream," Vincent Van Gogh said. A dream that too often turned to life-shattering nightmare. Winner of Golden Globe and New York Film Critics Best Actor Awards, Kirk Douglas gives a fierce portrayal as the artist torn between the joyous inspiration of his genius and the dark desperation of his tormented mind. The obsessed Van Gogh painted the way other men breathe, driving away family and friends, including artist Paul Gauguin (1956 Best Supporting Actor Academy Award winner Anthony Quinn). Directed by Vincente Minnelli and saturated with the hues of Van Gogh's sea, field and sky, Lust for Life captures the ecstasy of art. And the agony of one man's life.

Starring: Clara Bow, Antonio Moreno, Jacqueline Gadsden, Priscilla Bonner, William Austin. Presenting the first true Rom-Com film - 100 years later, still one of the finest ever made. Inspired by a story by Elinor Glyn who specialized in risqué fare, Clarence Badger’s “It” is a frothy romantic comedy transformed by the incandescent Clara Bow—who indeed had “it”. Bow’s shopgirl Betty Lou sets her sights on her handsome boss (Antonio Moreno), wooing him with her sheer animal magnetism. What could possibly go wrong? “Clara Bow is the quintessence of what the term ‘Flapper’ signifies as a definite description: pretty, impudent, superbly assured, as worldly-wise, briefly-clad and ‘hard-berled’ as possible.” —F. Scott Fitzgerald. New 4k It restoration premiered at the San Francisco Silent Film Festival. New score by The Mont Alto Orchestra. Screening to benefit the Bedford Playhouse gives you the rare opportunity to see a beautifully restored film on the Playhouse’s big screen.

Hong Kong, 1962: Chow Mo-wan (Tony Leung Chiu-wai) and Su Li-zhen (Maggie Cheung Man-yuk) move into neighboring apartments on the same day. Their encounters are formal and polite—until a discovery about their spouses creates an intimate bond between them. At once delicately mannered and visually extravagant, Wong Kar-Wai’s In the Mood for Love is a masterful evocation of romantic longing and fleeting moments. With its aching musical soundtrack and exquisitely abstract cinematography by Christopher Doyle and Mark Lee Ping-bin, this film has been a major stylistic influence on the past 25 years of cinema. Includes the bonus short "In the Mood for Love 2001" after the film. Part of our Cult Classic series—introduced by Programming Associate, Eliana Choi.

Nathanael West's novel about Hollywood decadence in the late '30s is a brilliant piece of filmmaking. A deeply insightful work that is powerful in its presentation, staggering in its vision.

And throughout, he plays on the edge of sexual and physical danger which finally erupts in the shocking climax. Oscar nominations went to Burgess Meredith and cinematographer Conrad Hall.

Inspired in part by a lyric from The Beatles’ “I Am The Walrus”, Semolina Pilchard is a darkly comic British crime drama set in Liverpool. After five years away from Liverpool, Clara is unexpectedly summoned home by her dying father, Gerry, a once-feared gangster whose legacy still casts a long shadow over both his family and his past criminal empire. Her younger sister Danika has remained by their father's side, deeply involved in his affairs and quietly positioning herself as the natural successor to his estate and influence. Clara's return threatens that fragile balance, fuelling suspicion, resentment, and a growing fear that everything Danika believes she has earned may be taken away. What begins as an uneasy reunion gradually evolves into a tense psychological and emotional battle between the sisters, where grief, ambition, loyalty, and inheritance collide. Balancing laugh-out-loud moments with serious dramatic stakes, Semolina Pilchard is ultimately a story about family, legacy, and the complicated ties that bind people together, even in the face of betrayal, loss, and ambition. Co-writer Daina Ann Smith is a Connecticut-based screenwriter and a key creative voice behind the film.
