SUMMARY:Elvira Notari: Beyond Silence
DESCRIPTION:Elvira Notari: Beyond Silence is a feature documentary chronicling the life and work of Elvira Notari (1875-1946)\, Italy’s first woman film director. Despite directing hundreds of silent films that captivated from Naples to New York\, Elvira was relegated to the margins of film history for half a century. Her films\, poised between realism and staged drama\, were deeply rooted in Neapolitan folklore. A woman in a man’s world\, her works were targeted by Fascist censorship yet found the embrace of audiences on both sides of the Atlantic. The documentary interweaves voices of those who celebrate her legacy today – from the experts who rediscovered her films to contemporary artists reimagining her vision through new works – to resurrect Elvira’s singular vision. More than a biography\, Elvira Notari: Beyond Silence is a portrait of an artist who continues to inspire new creative pathways. \n\n\n\nDigital Gym CINEMA1100 Market StSan Diego\, CA 92101April 15\, 20267:00 – 9:00 PM PDT

SUMMARY:German Currents Kino: Mirrors No. 3
DESCRIPTION:Synopsis: In the haunting new film from esteemed German director Christian Petzold (Transit\, NYFF56)\, his regular star Paula Beer plays Laura\, a pianist from Berlin who finds herself in a transitory state. After surviving a violent car crash that kills her boyfriend\, Laura is immediately taken in by Betty (Barbara Auer)\, a mysterious middle-aged woman who lives alone in an isolated house in the countryside. Strangers to one another\, the two women build a quiet\, respectful life together\, though the reemergence of Betty’s estranged husband and son sheds light on the tragic past that explains the murky present. The pleasurable enigma of Miroirs No. 3\, named for a Ravel piano suite\, returns Petzold to the metaphysical ambiguity of earlier films like Yella (2007) and the themes of doubling in his cherished Phoenix (2014)\, yet with a distinctive ethereality all its own: It’s an economical and beautifully crafted work about the mystery of human interaction. \n\n\n\nShowtimes:Friday\, April 17\, 2026: 7:00 (GC Screening)Saturday\, April 18\, 2026:Sunday\, April 19 2026: 3:00 (GC Screening)Monday\, April 20 2026:Tuesday\, April 21\, 2026:Wednesday\, April 22 \, 2026:Thursday\, April 23\, 2026: \n\n\n\nTicket Prices: $13 Regular / $11 Students & Seniors / $9 MembersTrailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqNG8EWydW0  \n\n\n\nDigital Gym Cinema1100 Market StSan Diego\, CA 92101
