Sabbath Cinema: September Showings!
Sunday, September 18th——-The Diving Bell and the Butterfly
The astonishing true-life story of Jean-Dominic Bauby — a man who held the world in his palm, lost everything to sudden paralysis at 43 years old, and somehow found the strength to rebound — first touched the world in Bauby’s best-selling autobiography The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (aka La Scaphandre et la Papillon), then in Jean-Jacques Beineix’s half-hour 1997 documentary of Bauby at work, released under the same title, and, ten years after that, in this Cannes-selected docudrama, helmed by Julian Schnabel (Basquiat) and adapted from the memoir by Ronald Harwood (Cromwell). The Schnabel/Harwood picture follows Bauby’s story to the letter — his instantaneous descent from a wealthy and congenial playboy and the editor of French Elle, to a bed-bound, hospitalized stroke victim with an inactive brain stem that made it impossible for him to speak or move a muscle of his body. This prison, as it were, became a kind of “diving bell” for Bauby — one with no means of escape. With the editor’s mind unaffected, his only solace lay in the “butterfly” of his seemingly depthless fantasies and memories. Because of Bauby’s physical restriction, he only possessed one channel for communication with the outside world: ocular activity. By moving his eyes and blinking, he not only began to interact again with the world around him, but — astonishingly — authored the said memoir via a code used to signify specific letters of the alphabet. In Schnabel’s picture, Mathieu Amalric tackles the difficult role of Bauby; the film co-stars Emmanuelle Seigner, Marie-Josà (C)e Croze, Anne Consigny, and Patrick Chesnais.
PG-13 1hr 54min
Sunday, September 25th——-Black Swan
A psychological thriller set in the world of New York City ballet, BLACK SWAN stars Natalie Portman as Nina, a featured dancer who finds herself locked in a web of competitive intrigue with a new rival at the company (Mila Kunis). A Fox Searchlight Pictures release by visionary director Darren Aronofsky (THE WRESTLER), BLACK SWAN takes a thrilling and at times terrifying journey through the psyche of a young ballerina whose starring role as the duplicitous swan queen turns out to be a part for which she becomes frighteningly perfect. BLACK SWAN follows the story of Nina (Portman), a ballerina in a New York City ballet company whose life, like all those in her profession, is completely consumed with dance. She lives with her retired ballerina mother Erica (Barbara Hershey) who zealously supports her daughter,s professional ambition. When artistic director Thomas Leroy (Vincent Cassel) decides to replace prima ballerina Beth MacIntyre (Winona Ryder) for the opening production of their new season, Swan Lake, Nina is his first choice. But Nina has competition: a new dancer, Lily (Kunis), who impresses Leroy as well. Swan Lake requires a dancer who can play both the White Swan with innocence and grace, and the Black Swan, who represents guile and sensuality. Nina fits the White Swan role perfectly but Lily is the personification of the Black Swan. As the two young dancers expand their rivalry into a twisted friendship, Nina begins to get more in touch with her dark side with a recklessness that threatens to destroy her.

House Band: No Strings Attached Every Friday @ 8PM
No Strings Attached is a jazz string trio comprised of violin, guitar and upright-bass. The ensemble was created as a vehicle to support the performance and instructional passions of its members. The trio leads a number of workshops on topics centered on improvisation and alternative styles for string instruments. All natives of Texas, the trio was brought together in an environment of exploration, creativity and education which they intend on developing in every city and school they teach and perform at. Current residents of San Marcos, TX all three members are students of the Texas State University School of music in the fields of Jazz Performance, Music Education and Music Theory respectfully. Although each member employs an array of talents to a large number of professional opportunities outside of their individual academic careers; the trio yields an impressive scope of independent aspirations that focus on the advancement and development of string music education in Texas and abroad.
Come enjoy food and drink specials and some awesome music!

SKETCHBOOK SERIES
Our latest art premier was, modestly speaking, absolutely awesome! Imagine a viking-filled speakeasy set up in the back of Superman’s ice fortress, pack it with mind-blowing sketchbook art, blast some punk music and you’d have something close to being as cool as the Sketchbook Series was. Many thanks to all who made it, but if you missed out the sketch book pieces will be hung until the end of September, so get over here now! xx
