9th at 7pm
Avenue Montaigne
Jessica,
a beautiful and spirited young woman from the provinces, comes
to Paris to experience life in its infinite variety. She talks
her way into a job waiting tables at a chic bistro on fabled
Avenue Montaigne, the city’s nexus for art, music, theater and
fashion.
Jessica’s customers include a popular TV actress who is courting
a major Hollywood director for her first serious film role;
a wealthy art collector who is about to liquidate a lifetime’s
worth of treasures at auction, and his estranged son, Frederic;
and an illustrious classical pianist who is at odds with his
manager/wife as to where his career is headed. Precisely because
Jessica doesn’t know how celebrated these people are, she is
not intimidated by them. Her guileless engagement in their lives
has a transforming effect on them--and ultimately on her.
September 23rd at 7pm
Babel
 In the
remote sands of the Moroccan desert, a rifle shot rings out--detonating
a chain of events that will link an American tourist couple’s
frantic struggle to survive, two Moroccan boys involved in an
accidental crime, a nanny illegally crossing into Mexico with
two American children and a Japanese teen rebel whose father
is sought by the police in Tokyo.
Separated by clashing cultures and sprawling distances, each
of these four disparate groups of people are nevertheless hurtling
towards a shared destiny of isolation and grief. In the course
of just a few days, they will each face the dizzying sensation
of becoming profoundly lost--lost in the desert, lost to the
world, lost to themselves--as they are pushed to the farthest
edges of confusion and fear as well as to the very depths of
connection and love.

Gone Fishing The village of Knowlton
is a natural wonder and a moment of peace and contemplative reflection
can be found right in the center of the town. Fishing at the lip
of the Dam, this girl casts her line into the waters in hopes
of catching a wee fish.
