The Penquin Lessons
October 8 at 7:00pm
Starring Oscar nominee Steve Coogan, this poignant dramedy follows an Englishman’s personal and political awakening after he adopts a penguin during a cataclysmic period in Argentine history. Inspired by true events, The Penguin Lessons takes to heart the notion that saving someone’s life begins a new responsibility. In this case, that someone is a surprisingly wise, utterly adorable penguin. Helmed by Peter Cattaneo (The Full Monty; Military Wives, TIFF ’19), The Penguin Lessons delivers this delightful story with wit, warmth, and subtle insight into just how rewarding it can be to do the right thing.

The Hobby: Tales from the Tabletop
November 12 at 7:00pm
Get up close and personal with the passionate community of people who take board games very seriously. From the World Series of Board Games on the Vegas strip and dating back to ancient Mesopotamia, The Hobby: Tales from the Tabletop is an affectionate, character-driven portrait of the massive and diverse subculture of board games. With a fascinating cast of charming subjects — including the “Roger Ebert of board games,” a rock-climbing board game philosopher, and a birdwatcher who created an unlikely smash hit — players share personal stories of competition, compulsion, creativity, and connection. The Hobby: Tales from the Tabletop explores the value of leisure time and uncovers the deep meaning found in “meaningless” pursuits.
