Thoroughly captivating,”<br />
“–Justin Chang, Variety<br />
Irrepressibly optimistic.”<br />
“–Leslie Felperin, The Hollywood Reporter<br />
Based on an incredible true story! Gaza. Synonymous to so many with conflict, destruction and despair<br />
but to Mohammed Assaf and his sister Nour, Gaza is their home and their playground. It’s where they,<br />
along with their best friends Ahmad and Omar, play music and football and dare to dream big. Their<br />
band might play on secondhand, beaten-up instruments, but their ambitions are sky high. For Mohammed<br />
and Nour, nothing less than playing the world-famous Cairo Opera Hall will do. It might take them<br />
a lifetime to get there but, as Mohammed will find out, some dreams are worth living for.<br />

Restoration<br />
A sensual mystery thriller about strange happenings in a small all-American town. A college student<br />
stumbles across a bizarre mystery and wants to know more, perhaps too much more. The oblique<br />
world he’s found lurking beneath his hometown’s picture-postcard veneer is about to become<br />
violently stranger.<br />
IGGY POP: LIVE IN BASEL 2015<br />
Thursday, June 16 & Saturday, June 18 at 9:45pm<br />
There‘s a reason why many consider Iggy Pop the godfather of punk—every single punk band of the past<br />
and present has either knowingly or unknowingly borrowed a thing or two from Pop and his late-‘60s/<br />
early-‘70s band, the Stooges, who were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2010.<br />
Iggy Pop, an outstanding artist known for his outrageous and unpredictable stage antics, sings at the<br />
Baloise Session in Basel, Switzerland, where he was honored with a 2015 Lifetime Achievement Award.<br />
This fantastic performance features all of Iggy Pop’s top hits, including “I Wanna Be Your Dog,” “The Passenger,”<br />
“Lust for Life” and many more.<br />
