Mean Girls Day Special Screening
"On October 3rd, he asked me what day it was. It's October 3rd."
Get in loser, we're going to the cinema. To celebrate the official holy day of the Burn Book calendar, we are bringing this modern cult classic back to the big screen! Round up your Plastics, and get a 10% discount at the bar if you dress in pink (even if it’s not a Wednesday). Grool? Grool.
Raised in the African bush by her zoologist parents, home-schooled teenager Cady Heron (Lindsay Lohan) enters the ruthless social ecosystem of an American high school for the very first time. Recruited by a pair of cynical outsiders to infiltrate "The Plastics", a gilded, dictatorial clique led by the merciless Regina George (Rachel McAdams), Cady sets out to destroy their supremacy from within, only to find herself slowly seduced by the intoxicating power of popularity.
Scripted with razor-sharp wit by Tina Fey, Mean Girls remains the definitive teen comedy of the 2000s, a biting, endlessly quotable satire of high-school tribalism that hasn't lost an ounce of its venom or charm.

Rated NC16: Some sexual references
Some movies are meant to be watched in quiet contemplation; others demand to be experienced as a party. We are cranking up Filmhouse’s 7.1 sound system to present the definitive 4K restoration of Talking Heads’ cinematic milestone in all its high volume glory!
Captured over three nights at Hollywood’s Pantages Theatre in 1983, Jonathan Demme’s concert film opens on an empty stage with David Byrne, an acoustic guitar, and a portable cassette player performing "Psycho Killer." Musician by musician, instrument by instrument, the stage is constructed before the audience's eyes, escalating into an exhilarating, high energy spectacle driven by Talking Heads at the peak of their live performance powers.
Whether you're a lifelong fan or discovering the iconic big suit for the first time, join us for an unmissable communal screening that bridges the gap between cinema and live concert!
In English.
Rated PG
Still grieving the tragic loss of her fiancé Itsuki Fujii in a mountain climbing accident, Hiroko Watanabe sends a letter to his old childhood address in snow-covered Otaru, a home she believes no longer exists, hoping to send a message into the ether. To her shock, she receives a reply signed by "Itsuki Fujii." The respondent is not her late lover's ghost, but a female former classmate who shared his exact name. As the two women begin exchanging letters across the snowbound landscape, a tender, long buried portrait of forgotten youth, unrequited first love, and shared memory slowly unfurls.
A foundational landmark of 1990s Asian cinema, Shunji Iwai’s feature debut became a massive cultural phenomenon across East and Southeast Asia, immortalized by Miho Nakayama’s double performance. Shot with a dreamlike, soft focus palette by the late cinematographer Noboru Shinoda, this new 4K digital restoration preserves every delicate detail.
4K remastering under the supervision of Fuji Television Network, Inc., with all analog and digital processes by Imagica Entertainment Media Services, Inc. Image digitization through high-resolution 4K scanning from the original 35mm camera negative. Restoration, color correction, and final sound finishing supervised by director Shunji Iwai.
