Introduction before the film, and a bar serving wine/beer/cider that can be taken to your seat!
This humorous and melancholic portrait of a male voice choir begins when the filmmakers' father, widower Ed, 90, sells the family home and arranges his own funeral.
His only remaining solace is Tuesday night practice, but with an average age of 74 and suffering a hemorrhaging of the bass section his beloved choir is facing a crisis of its own. They must act or face extinction. So the hunt begins to find 'brown haired men' in their 40s and 50s who can take the choir forward.
As their search intensifies we come closer to them. Whilst Ed finds new meaning, Merf deals with his own bad news by focusing on the Choirs revival and Gwyn laughs at his prostate cancer diagnosis and walks on the wing of a plane to raise money.
Finally, they raise themselves and travel to Northern Ireland to perform for the first time in 20 years.

The Persian Version (19+ Screening)
Presented by Monday at the Arts
Come early and enjoy a drink and our new Neapolitan style pizza while listening to the live music in the lobby starting at 5:30.
Introduction before the film, and a bar serving wine/beer/cider that can be taken to your seat!
Please note that due to liquor licensing regulations, these screenings will be limited to 19+ years of age and older.
Coming from two countries at odds with each other, Iranian-American Leila (Layla Mohammadi) strives to find balance and embrace her opposing cultures, while boldly challenging the labels society is so quick to project upon her.
When her family reunites in New York City for her father’s heart transplant, Leila navigates her relationships from arms length in an effort to keep her “real” life separate from her family life. However, when her secret is unceremoniously revealed, so are the distinct parallels between her life and that of her mother Shireen (Niousha Noor).
Punctuated by a bright color palette, snappy comedic relief, and vibrant dance numbers, The Persian Version delivers an honest portrayal of a woman who remains unapologetically herself, blended seamlessly into a heartfelt story about family, belonging, and the undeniable influence of pop music.
Winning both the Audience Award and the Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award in Dramatic Competition at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, writer-director-producer Maryam Keshavarz delivers a universal and timely story of the Iranian and the Iranian-American experience.
