I don't know about you but I really need to see this 3-hour cut.

Dear Pageant community, This has been a powerfully emotional time. The disproportionate toll that COVID-19 has taken on communities of color; the murders of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, and Tony McDade; and the casually... lethal racism of the Central Park dog walker who called the cops on bird-watcher Christ Cooper have once again thrown into sharp focus the inescapable reality of systemic racism in our society and the many kinds of violence it inflicts on black Americans every day. Black Lives Matter!The anguish and fury unleashed all across the country are rooted in centuries of dehumanization and death. This pattern must stop. We support the protesters who have taken to the streets to demand justice, and we share their hopes. We are committed to fighting systemic racism. We are also using our virtual cinema to highlight films that focus on Black Lives with three documentaries that we feel speak strongly to systemic inequity I AM NOT YOUR NEGRO, WHOSE STREETS?, and TONI MORRISON: THE PIECES I AM. These particular films are perennial tools for engaging and educating, so instead of the standard rental they are being offered for These particular films are perennial tools for engaging and educating, so instead of the standard rental they are being offered for sale at $6.99 each or all three titles for $15.

NOW PLAYING IN OUR VIRTUAL SCREENING ROOM: In this black comedy of middle-aged masculinity gone awry, Academy Award winner Jean Dujardin (The Artist) is a recent divorcee who becomes obsessed with a vintage fringed deerskin jacket that begins to exert an uncanny hold on him. Set in a sleepy French alpine village, he falls into the guise of an independent filmmaker and befriends a trusting bartender and aspiring editor (Adèle Haenel, Portrait of a Lady on Fire) who becomes his... collaborator on a movie that will document a surprising new goal he sets himself. to rent visit: https://deerskin.vhx.tv/produc/deerskin-for-pageant-theater 50% of your rental goes to us!

Hilma af Klint was an abstract artist before the term existed, a visionary, trailblazing figure who, inspired by spiritualism, modern science, and the riches of the natural world around her, began in 1906 to reel out a series of huge, colorful, sensual, strange works without precedent in painting. In Beyond The Visible, Halina Dyrschka's (Now playing in our Virtual Screening Room) pays tribute to the visionary artist and challenges the boys' club mentality that long denied her the recognition she sought.
