A spin-off of Whisper of the Heart, The Cat Returns finds another schoolgirl encountering a mysterious tomcat on the street, though this time she is led to a fantastic world beyond her wildest dreams. Launched into a cobblestoned magic kingdom ruled by cat royalty—including a motorcade replete with vassals, maidens, and even Secret Service—she must enlist the help of the elusive Baron Humbert von Gikkingen (the same cat featured as a statue in Whisper of the Heart) if she hopes to make it back home. The only feature film directed by Hiroyuki Morita to date, The Cat Returns is a feline flight of fancy.

In person: Academy Governor Kate AmendFilmmaker Frederick Wiseman spent 29 days in 1966 at the Bridgewater State Hospital in Massachusetts, filming the treatment and mistreatment of its patients. After a year of editing, the result, the first feature from the noted documentarian, established his distinctively observational filmmaking style. Banned from public exhibition for decades and finally approved for release on First Amendment grounds in a 1991 court decision, Titicut Follies was selected for preservation by the National Film Registry in 2022. In 2016, Wiseman—whose other classic documentaries include High School (1968), Primate (1974) and Welfare (1975)— received an honorary Oscar for his “masterful and distinctive documentaries [that] examine the familiar and reveal the unexpected.”

Jane Campion’s gritty erotic thriller stars Meg Ryan as Frannie Avery, a seemingly apathetic writer and English teacher who finds solace in her daydream of language and literature. At a bar near her apartment, Frannie accidentally witnesses a sexual encounter between a woman and a man whose face she cannot recall. The woman is later found dismembered, spurring a visit from a detective who quickly becomes Frannie’s infatuation. Paralleling the desolate ambience of the urban landscape is Frannie’s facade, until her suppressed emotions trigger outbursts that may lead her straight into the path of a serial killer of women.

Hardboiled San Francisco detective Nick Curran (Michael Douglas) is assigned to the case of a murdered rock star and gets in over his head when he meets the victim’s lover, Catherine Tramell (Sharon Stone). A crime novelist whose latest work mirrors Curran’s case, and past relationships with violent people, Catherine becomes the prime suspect. Confronted by Tramell’s smoldering sensuality and mysterious past, Curran struggles to maintain his professionalism and not give into his carnal instincts.

The first motion picture produced by Nickelodeon is also Bronwen Hughes’s feature film directorial debut, starring Michelle Trachtenberg as a 12-year-old Harriet Welsch, who devotes her time spying on everyone and recording her discreet detective work in a “PRIVATE” notebook. When those secrets get exposed, Harriet finds her entire class against her, including her two best friends. This sweet drama boldly and candidly surveys the bittersweet pre-teen years as an exploration of self, complementing the confusion that marks this transitional phase with Harriet’s unapologetic, cheeky spirit, letting her fight her own battles and attain redemption.

Artist Salvador de la Torre will lead a ceramic tile workshop in which participants create and carve hand-built tiles inscribed with words and images rooted in resistance, belonging, and queer solidarity. Drawing from de la Torre's studio practice, the workshop explores the intersections of text, memory, and material as forms of personal and collective expression.
Working through clay as a tactile and time-based medium, participants will consider how language can hold histories of migration, identity, and care, transforming everyday gestures into acts of reflection and solidarity.
This program is presented by One Institute as a part of, Wild Wonderful Sporadic Kin, supported by the California Community Foundation.

Join journalist, author and disability advocate Kristen Lopez as she speaks with particular authority on how disability is represented—and too often misrepresented—in movies. It’s all examined in her book, Popcorn Disabilities: The Highs and Lows of Disabled Representation in the Movies.
Popcorn Disabilities is Lopez’s impassioned, yet fun and engaging survey of how Hollywood has dealt with disability over the last century. She reveals that, even when they're not just narrative props to help an able-bodied protagonist, movie characters with disabilities are overwhelmingly white, affluent, and conventionally attractive, obscuring the variety of disabilities and the experiences of those who deal with them. But she also explains where films have gotten it right, and how the power of the medium can enlighten... and educate in the future.
From little-remembered gems such as Tod Browning's Freaks (1932)—one of the earliest attempts to show dimensionality in characters with disabilities—to contemporary films such as CODA (2021), My Left Foot (1989), A Different Man (2024), and many others, it challenges popular assumptions about disability while never losing sight of movies' unique power, influence, and potential as a tool for social good.

East West Holistic Psychotherapy 

East West Holistic Psychotherapy | Trauma Therapy &amp; Narcissistic Abuse Recovery in Los Angeles East West Holistic Psychotherapy specializes in helping women heal from relationship trauma, narcissistic abuse, and CPTSD. If you've lost faith in your own judgment after a toxic relationship, we guide you toward feeling calm in your body, trusting your instincts again, and finally experiencing healthy, authentic relationships. Our Los Angeles therapy practice offers evidence-based trauma treatment using EMDR therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), mindfulness-based approaches, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). We understand the unique wounds of narcissistic abuse—gaslighting, manipulation, trauma bonds, and the self-doubt that lingers long after leaving. Conditions we treat include CPTSD, anxiety, depression, codependency, fawning response, grief, and attachment wounds. Our holistic psychotherapy approach addresses mind, body, and spirit, helping empaths and highly sensitive individuals rebuild self-trust while establishing healthy boundaries. We offer individual therapy, intensive therapy programs for accelerated healing, and telehealth sessions throughout California. Whether you're in Los Angeles, Santa Monica, Burbank, or beyond, compassionate trauma-informed care is accessible. Healing isn't becoming someone new—it's remembering who you were before you forgot your worth. Safety is the soil of transformation. Book a complimentary consultation today to begin your journey from survival to self-trust to authentic connection. Your alignment is your liberation.
