Casablanca is a timeless story of love, sacrifice, and doing what’s right when it matters most.
We meet Rick Blaine, a guarded nightclub owner in the bustling city of Casablanca during World War II. He keeps to himself. He avoids politics. And he believes sticking his neck out for no one is the safest choice.
Then everything changes.
Ilsa Lund walks into his club. With her comes a past Rick thought he’d buried. Their connection is immediate. Complicated. And impossible to ignore.
At the same time, danger surrounds them. Refugees seek escape. Authorities close in. And choices carry real consequences.
As tensions rise, Rick is forced to confront who he is—and who he wants to be. He must choose between love and something greater.
Along the way, the film blends romance, suspense, and unforgettable dialogue. It captures the weight of sacrifice and the quiet courage of standing up for others.

Past Lives is a quiet, deeply moving story about love, timing, and the paths we don’t take.
We meet Nora and Hae Sung as children in South Korea. They’re close. Curious. And connected in a way that feels effortless. Then life intervenes. Nora’s family emigrates, and the two are separated.
Years pass.
Nora builds a new life in New York. She grows into herself. She becomes a writer. However, the memory of Hae Sung lingers—soft, distant, but never gone.
Then, unexpectedly, they reconnect.
First online. Then, years later, in person. As a result, past and present begin to overlap. Old feelings resurface. New questions emerge.
At the same time, Nora must navigate the life she’s chosen. Her marriage. Her identity. Her sense of home. Because of this, every moment feels layered—with possibility, with uncertainty, with truth.
The film moves gently. It lingers in conversation. In silence. In what’s left unsaid. And through it all, it explores the idea of “in-yun”—the invisible ties that connect people across time.
Ultimately, Past Lives isn’t just about romance. Instead, it’s about connection. It’s about who we become. And who we might have been if things had gone differently.

Aquarela is a visually striking documentary that explores the power and unpredictability of water.
First, the film opens on the frozen surface of Lake Baikal in Russia. People drive cars across the ice. However, danger quickly appears. The ice cracks without warning. Consequently, rescue teams rush to save those trapped. This tense sequence sets the tone for the rest of the film.
Next, the focus shifts to massive ice formations breaking apart. Glaciers collapse into the sea. As a result, the viewer sees nature’s raw force. The camera lingers on each moment. It highlights both beauty and destruction.
Then, the film moves to powerful waterfalls and rushing rivers. Water surges with energy. Meanwhile, the sound design intensifies the experience. It immerses the viewer completely. The scenes feel both calming and overwhelming at once.
Afterward, the documentary shows a violent hurricane over the ocean. Waves rise like mountains. Ships struggle to survive. Therefore, the scale of water becomes even more frightening. Human presence seems small and fragile.
Throughout the film, there is almost no dialogue. Instead, the visuals and sounds tell the story. As a result, viewers must interpret the meaning themselves. The film encourages reflection rather than explanation.
Finally, Aquarela ends by reinforcing a central idea. Water is powerful, beautiful, and uncontrollable. It shapes the Earth. It also threatens human life. Thus, the film leaves a lasting impression.
In conclusion, Aquarela presents water as both a creator and a destroyer. It uses stunning imagery and sound to evoke emotion. Ultimately, it reminds viewers of nature’s immense power.

<h5>Circle of Apathy: a firmament a fantasia</h5>
“In the beginning there was nothing. Then there was everything.”
In Circle of Apathy, the new dance project from House of DOV with live music from Family Junket, the ensemble explores the cycles of growth and disintegration intrinsic to nature, and works together to build physical structures which increase in precarity as the group strives toward expansion. “Through creative process, we’ve sought to understand our own place within the greater ecology of our landscape, and to experience the human body as a metaphor and microcosm of the natural world,” says Drew Lewis, creative director of House of DOV.
Family Junket’s five musicians blare dense soul with moments of ambience: voices wail, altered by a vocal pedal; saxophone, flute and violin harmonize over precomposed loops; djembe, drum kit and percussion punctuate echoing acoustic piano. House of DOV’s seven dancers push against seemingly immovable forces, find new hand and footholds, and creep forward like a vine up a brick wall. A woman walks through an increasingly dense wood until the brush closes around her entirely. When all paths disappear from sight, a figure steps blindly forward, trusting that there will be a stepping stone beneath their foot.

ObituaryMaurice Irwin &ldquo;Win&rdquo; Gould, Jr.
Maurice Irwin &ldquo;Win&rdquo; Gould, Jr., of Punta Gorda, Florida, formerly of Lake Bluff, Illinois, and native of East Aurora, New York, passed away peacefully in his sleep on May 13, 2026.
Win was a devoted husband, father, grandfather and lifelong maker. He was predeceased by his wife, Marilyn, and his beloved dog, Molly. He is lovingly remembered by his children Tom, Todd, and Betsy, and by many grandchildren who brought him great joy.
A meticulous craftsman, Win found deep satisfaction in building architectural models and intricate ship models, and he spent countless hours painting and restoring classic automobiles&mdash;especially his cherished MGBs. His work reflected a patient hand, an exacting eye, and a steady generosity in sharing his skills and stories with family and friends.
Win&rsquo;s warmth, quiet humor and dedication to his passions left a lasting impression on all who knew him. He will be remembered for his careful workmanship, his love of beauty in small things, and the steady presence he provided to his family.
