Faced with increasingly limited opportunities in the entertainment business, fading celebrity Elisabeth Sparkle (Demi Moore) turns to the newest black-market drug that promises a ‘younger, more beautiful, more perfect’ version of oneself. Nominated for five Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, and Best Screenplay. Faced with increasingly limited opportunities in the entertainment business, fading celebrity Elisabeth Sparkle (Demi Moore) turns to the newest black-market drug that promises a ‘younger, more beautiful, more perfect’ version of oneself. But, as one might expect, this devil’s bargain proves too good to be true as Sparkle becomes increasingly jealous and incensed by the behavior of her new doppleganger. Featuring the visual flair of Stanley Kubrick and the body horror aesthetic of David Cronenberg, Coraline Fargeat swings for the fences in this bold and daring indictment of our constant and pervasive obsession with beauty and youth. Nominated for five Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, and Best Screenplay.

Begins at 6:30pm.

Bryce Leavitt and Marah Strauch’s wildly entertaining documentary chronicles the remarkable high-flying antics of skydiving pioneer and daredevil cinematographer Joe Jennings, Hollywood’s go-to man for gasp-inducing aerial stunts. Featuring decades of iconic moments in film and television, Jennings looks back on a lifetime of triumphs and tragedies as he attempts to pull off his most ambitious stunt yet: driving an open-top automobile with four passengers out of airplane as it freefalls through space. At once intimate and epic, the film combines jaw-dropping visuals with an emotionally layered portrait of an artist, innovator, and world-class adrenaline junkie. Official Selection of the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival.

Directors Bryce Leavitt and Marah Strauch will participate in an onstage conversation at 6pm and answer questions following the 7pm screening.
