Films
“The Beasts” (2023)
A bourgeois, expatriate French couple committed to organic farming settles uneasily among the poor Spanish farmers who’ve struggled for generations to earn a living from this land. The screenplay resists oversimplifying the complex dynamics of gentrification, the privilege of imposing progressive values and the tragedy of fear turned to hate. Free.

“Graves Without a Name” (2018)
When a 13-year-old child who lost the greater part of his family under the Khmer Rouge embarks on a search for their graves, whether clay or on spiritual ground, what does he find there? And above all, what is he looking for? It’s a cinematic movie that reaches well beyond the story of a country for that which is universal. $7 adults, $6 faculty/staff, $5 seniors, $4 students.

Friday, Nov. 17; 7 to 8 p.m. in the Browning Cinema, DeBartolo Performing Arts Center
“The NeverEnding Story” (1984)
Outcast schoolboy Bastian evades bullies both figuratively and literally with a bookstore. Advised against reading a massive epic titled “The NeverEnding Story,” he steals and reads the book.
