USUAL GIRLS
By Ming Peiffer, Directed by Tyne Rafaeli Monday, January 9 at 7:00PM
On an elementary school playground, a boy threatens to tell on a group of girls for swearing – unless one of them kisses him. But just before lips can touch, Kyeoung tackles the boy to the ground. The victory is short-lived. Over the coming years, Kyeoung herself is knocked down again and again. By an alcoholic dad. A group of quick-to-judge friends. And an endlessly invasive parade of men. As we follow Kyeoung from the discoveries of childhood to the realities of adulthood, her stories get stranger, funnier, more harrowing – and more familiar. How do girls grow up? Quickly, painfully, wondrously.
THE SUPREME LEADER
By Don Nguyen, Directed by Moritz von Stuelpnagel Thursday, January 12 at 7:00PM
It’s the fall of 2002 at a Swiss boarding school, and a teenage Kim Jong-Un – a basketball-loving, note-pad sketching, Un – finds himself torn. He’s suddenly enjoying an unlikely friendship with fellow student Sophie, who opens Un’s eyes to the possibilities of a world beyond his restricted reality and his father’s watchful gaze. Brimming with character and humor, The Supreme Leader imagines the teenage years of the enigmatic leader of North Korea and explores the importance of friendship and connection in a life that’s been pre-destined.
