USA 1989. Director: Woody Allen
Post-screening discussion with Dr Anton Scamvougeras
Judah Rosenthal (Martin Landau), a successful ophthalmologist, is having a late-in-life extramarital affair with Dolores (Anjelica Huston), a high-strung stewardess who has begun to bore him. His attempt to end the relationship meets with strong resistance from Dolores, who threatens to expose both his infidelity and his involvement in some shady financial dealings.
He barks, spits, and shakes. He just can't help it. Duncan McKinlay has Tourette's Syndrome. At age 7, he noticed what he called a devil in his head that made his life hell. In his teens, it wasn't a question of whether to kill himself, but when. Life's a Twitch takes us on a quirky ride into Duncan's world, where he's learned to turn his nightmare into a celebration.
In every school in North America, it's likely that at least one child has Tourette's Syndrome (TS). These children are often stigmatized and almost always misunderstood. This highly acclaimed documentary presents a candid look at the lives of children growing up with this baffling condition. 
The 1960s ushered in nearly two decades of intense social and cultural tumult; change was in the air, revolution on the horizon, and all things seemed possible. Many looked to transcendental meditation, free love, Black Power, or LSD. But for some, Jim Jones, the charismatic and forceful leader of Peoples Temple, offered the perfect balance of spiritual fulfillment and political commitment.
A 2005 Oscar nominee for Best Documentary Short, Autism is a World tells the story of Sue Rubin, a young woman with autism. 
Winner of the 2005 Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, Alejandro Amenábar's The Sea Inside is based on the true story of Ramón Sampedro, a Spaniard who was paralyzed in a diving accident at the age of 25 and spent the next thirty years of his life fighting a legal campaign to win the right to end his life with dignity.
Art, activism, and disability are the starting points for what unfolds as a funny and intimate portrait of five surprising individuals. Shameless marks Not a Love Story director Bonnie Sherr Klein's return to a career interrupted by a catastrophic stroke in 1987. Always the activist, she now turns her lens on the world of disability culture and, ultimately, the transformative power of art. 
Pandaemonium is
the delirious story of passion, betrayal, madness and addiction
that binds two of history's most acclaimed poets: Samuel
Taylor Coleridge and William Wordsworth.
The film opens in 1816, where Wordsworth (John Hannah),
about to be named poet laureate, is throwing a lavish party.
An unsteady Coleridge (Linus Roache), ravaged
by an opium addiction, crashes to the floor
