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).

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.

In person: Academy Governor Howard A. RodmanOne of the most influential filmmakers—whose innovative cinematic language led to such groundbreaking films such as Metropolis (1927) and Woman in the Moon (1929) —is Austrian-born Fritz Lang, who contributed to the premise of sci-fi and noir film domains in American cinema. Lang’s first sound film, M, is set in a 1930s Berlin disrupted by a gruesome serial murder case targeting children. Peter Lorre stars as the creepy murderer, Hans Beckert, who embodies the instability and confusing socio-political shifts that the nation was facing in the early 1930s. Pursued by the city police and criminals from the underworld, Beckert’s heightened anxiety is manifested through an array of daring close-up shots in high-contrast, stark, black-and-white cinematography, an apparent heir of... Lang’s early work in German Expressionism.

Top-Rated Personal Injury Lawyers in Los Angeles

El Dabe Ritter Trial Lawyers

El Dabe Ritter Trial Lawyers represents car accident victims across Los Angeles County who have suffered serious injuries and suddenly find themselves up against powerful insurance companies. Founded by trial attorneys Edmond El Dabe and Jonathan Ritter, the firm is known for its trial-ready approach, strategic preparation, and commitment to holding insurance companies accountable. Every case is handled with focus, intention, and the understanding that real people—not claim numbers—are at stake. Our practice focuses on motor vehicle accidents, from car and motorcycle crashes to electric bike injuries, as well as pedestrian accidents, premises liability, and other serious personal injury matters. These cases aren’t treated as files or formulas. They’re treated as personal. Unlike billboard law firms, we make sure every case is handled with focus, intention, and the understanding that behind every claim is a real person whose life has been disrupted and deserves to be taken seriously. El Dabe Ritter Trial Lawyers is a family-owned, local law firm built on experience, preparation, and results. While our roots are local, our approach is anything but small. Our attorneys bring years of courtroom and litigation experience to every case, with a proven history of securing meaningful outcomes for injured clients. We invite you to explore our recent case results and attorney bios to learn more about the work we do and the standards we hold ourselves to.
