"Marty Supreme" - (R; 2 hours, 30 minutes) - Set in 1952 New York, Marty Supreme follows Marty Mauser (Timothée Chalamet), a fast-talking table-tennis hustler racing full-tilt toward his American dream. Inspired by real-life ping-pong legend Marty Reisman, Marty bounces between family and freedom, loyalty and ambition, hustling his way from the Lower East Side to far-flung corners of the world. Director Josh Safdie delivers a kinetic, richly textured portrait of immigrant New York, alive with crowded streets, cramped apartments, and restless energy. The film explores themes of identity, class, and success without preaching, anchored by Chalamet’s electric performance—full of physicality, vulnerability, and sharp edges. For all his flaws, Marty is sustained by the people and community that shape him, even as he’s always chasing what comes next. Wednesday, Jan. 14, 2 p.m. (OCAP), Thursday, Jan. 15, 7 p.m.

“You have to be a hustler to make movies like this in the age of AI and IP, even ones with genuine movie stars in them. It’s in Safdie’s DNA as much as Marty’s. Both end up champions in their own way, and we’re the ones who end up winning.” – David Fear, Rolling Stone

"Hamnet" - (PG13; 2 hours, 5 minutes) - From Academy Award®–winning writer/director Chloé Zhao, Hamnet is a deeply felt and beautifully rendered exploration of grief, love, and the enduring power of art. Adapted from Maggie O’Farrell’s acclaimed 2020 novel, the film offers a profound new way of looking at one of the world’s most famous plays by refracting it through the personal life of its author, William Shakespeare, and, especially, his wife Agnes. Thoughtful direction and indelible performances allow the story’s emotional layers to unfold with sensitivity and restraint, revealing how art can express what words alone cannot.

The film imagines the early courtship of William (Paul Mescal), then a young Latin tutor, and Agnes Hathaway (Jessie Buckley), an enigmatic and fiercely independent woman whose individuality shapes their family life. When their young son Hamnet dies—a historical fact believed to have inspired "Hamlet" - Hamnet speculates that Shakespeare’s writing became an act of mourning, a way to process loss and honor his child. Heartbreaking yet luminous, the film breaks hearts and gently mends them, carried by Zhao’s quiet confidence and the astonishing performances at its center. Opening Friday, Jan. 16, 7 p.m., Saturday, Jan. 17, 7 p.m., Sunday, Jan. 18, 2 p.m., Wed., Jan. 21, 2 p.m. (OCAP), Thursday, Jan. 22, 7 p.m. playing through Thursday, Jan. 29.

“With sensational Irish actors Buckley and Mescal and a dynamic script, the message here is that tragedy can be transmuted into art and touch theaters full of strangers as well as the individuals directly involved. ” – Thelma Adams, AARP Movies for Grownups

"The Magic Flute" -  (1975; NR; 2 hours, 14 minutes) - An Arts on Film presentation - We see only Bergman, and we hear only Mozart. Renowned director Ingmar Bergman’s film version of The Magic Flute is beloved by opera lovers and film enthusiasts alike. Released theatrically 50 years ago in 1975, this joyful and imaginative adaptation captures all the color, drama, magic, and humor of Mozart’s enchanting opera. Rather than simply filming a stage performance, Bergman follows a production set inside a beautiful working Baroque theater, using period sets and playful visual effects. He brings audiences both onstage and behind the scenes, revealing not only the vivid characters of the opera, but the performers who bring them to life. This special screening will be hosted by Maine-based professional singer John David Adams, who credits Bergman’s The Magic Flute as his introduction to opera as a teenager. Adams has since enjoyed a wide-ranging career in opera, concert, recital, and musical theater, and has performed in live productions of The Magic Flute in multiple roles. He will share his personal connection to the work, insights into performing the opera, and reflections on his recent visit to the Swedish theater that inspired Bergman’s film. One show only: Monday, January 17 at 2:00 p.m. Tickets available at the door: $8 Members, $12 Non-Members.

“Ingmar Bergman has never before made a movie so warm, happy and innocent... It's as if all this joy has been building up inside him during the great decade of metaphysical films beginning with Persona.” – Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun Times (2018)
