The festivities include screenings of Une vie de chat (A Cat in Paris), an animated film about a girl whose cat takes her on a nighttime adventure involving rooftop runs with thieves; Poetry, an emotionally gripping Korean film about a woman’s newfound interest in poetry as a coping mechanism for the challenges of raising her grandson and being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease; and La Aldea Maldita (The Cursed Village), a 1930s silent film from Spain that will be accompanied by a live piano performance by Ethan Uslan.
