DOLORES

2:30 PM

Dolores Huerta is among the most important, yet least known, activists in American history. An equal partner in co-founding the first farm workers unions with Cesar Chavez, her enormous contributions have gone largely unrecognized. Dolores tirelessly led the fight for racial and labor justice alongside Chavez, becoming one of the most defiant feminists of the twentieth century

TOKYO GHOUL

8:45 PM

Based on a manga by Sui Ishida, Tokyo Ghoul unfolds in an alternative modern-day Japan where humans uneasily coexist with ghouls who look and act like their human hosts, though they only consume human flesh. The story follows Ken Kaneki, a college student who barely survives a deadly encounter with Rize Kamishiro, his date who reveals herself as a ghoul. He is taken to the hospital in critical condition. After recovering, Kaneki discovers that he has undergone a surgery that transformed him into a half-ghoul. This was accomplished because some of Rize's organs were transferred into his body, and now, like normal ghouls, he must consume human flesh to survive.

LUCKY

4:30 PM

As a follow up to our Too Tiny Tribute to Harry Dean Stanton, the Roxie is thrilled to present what might just be the perfect swan song. LUCKY follows the spiritual journey of a 90 year old atheist and the quirky characters that inhabit his off the map desert town. Having out lived and out smoked all of his contemporaries, the fiercely independent Lucky finds himself at the precipice of life, thrust into a journey of self-exploration, leading towards that which is so often unattainable: enlightenment.

WILD

6:30 PM

Visually poetic & sexually charged, a woman’s encounter with a wolf unleashes a fearless, untamable lust in this bold, anarchistic love story all curled up into an astonishingly daring & edgy fantasy. "Nicolette Krebitz’s thornily sensual third feature ... galvanized by Lilith Stangenberg’s high-risk performance... questions the behavioral standards we take as given with quiet daring and disquieting sangfroid."

Facine24: AREA

1:30 PM

In a story set in a community outside of Angeles City called Area, actually a neighborhood of brothels, which cater to low-income habitues of sex parlors who cannot afford the luxurious life in the city, an aging woman tries to break away from her destitute life searching for her long-lost son.

Facine24: DIE BEAUTIFUL

6:30 PM

Her most fervent dream was to be crowned queen; sadly, when that happens, Trisha, a transgered Filipina, dies on stage. In her wake, friends make good her request to stay beautiful, transformed into “celebrities’ while looking back to how their friend faced adversities living as transgender in Philippine society.

Facine24: HINULID [THE SORROWS OF SITA]

3:45 PM

A mother, in grief over the death of her only son in a fraternity hazing incident, returns to her hometown carrying her son’s ashes, grappling with the idea of loss and transcendence, believing that her broken life can still be restored to some joyous moments.
