Virtual Cinema Passes • Merchandise • Donations

Greetings, Cinemapolitans,

It's that time of year, after the Sundance Film Festival, when our attention starts to turn toward the big awards for film. Just this morning, the nominees for the 78th Golden Globes were announced, and one of those award hopefuls, Two of Us, is arriving in our virtual cinema portal on Friday!

It's joined by two other great new titles to help you put off shoveling the walk. Take a break from coverage of the Big Game™, and cuddle up with some Cinemapolis at Home this weekend.

As always, the full listing of all current and upcoming virtual films, including those titles ending tomorrow, can be found on our Virtual Cinema page.

LEONA

WINNER

Best Debut Feature

UK Jewish Film Festival

"Leona" is an intimate, insightful, and moving film that tells the story of a young Jewish woman from Mexico City who finds herself torn between her family and her forbidden love. Ripe with all the drama and interpersonal conflicts of a Jane Austen novel, watching her negotiate the labyrinth of familial pressure, religious precedent, and her own burgeoning sentiment is both painful and beautiful – there are no easy choices to be made and the viewer travels back and forth with her as she struggles with her heart to take the best path.

DIRECTOR: Isaac Cherem

SCREENWRITERS: Isaac Cherem, Naian Gonzáles Norvind

CAST: Naian González Norvind, Christian Vazquez, Carolina Politi, Daniel Adissi & Margarita Sanz

Spanish with English Subtitles

VIRTUAL CINEMA
THE STORY OF LOVER'S ROCK

“It’s the music that matters, and that is put on the screen with real skill and affection.”

—Derek Malcolm, This is London

Lovers Rock, often dubbed ‘romantic reggae’ is a uniquely black British sound that developed in the late 70s and 80s against a backdrop of riots, racial tension and sound systems. Live performance, comedy sketches, dance, interviews and archive shed light on the music and the generation that embraced it.

Lovers Rock developed into a successful sound with national UK hits and was influential to British bands (Police, Culture Club, UB40) These influences underline the impact the music was making in bridging the multi-cultural gap that polarized the times.

The film sheds light on a forgotten period of British music, social and political history.

DIRECTOR: Menelik Shabazz

VIRTUAL CINEMA
TWO OF US

“[a] moving tribute to love’s ability to overcome all obstacles.”

—Mark Keizer, Variety

GOLDEN GLOBE NOMINEE: BEST PICTURE - FOREIGN LANGUAGE

Two retired women, Nina and Madeleine, have been secretly in love for decades. Everybody, including Madeleine’s family, thinks they are simply neighbors, sharing the top floor of their building.

They come and go between their two apartments, enjoying the affection and pleasures of daily life together, until an unforeseen event turns their relationship upside down and leads Madeleine’s daughter to gradually unravel the truth about them.

DIRECTOR: Filippo Meneghetti

SCREENWRITERS: Filippo Meneghetti, Malysone Bovorasmy

CONTINUING ON VIRTUAL CINEMA

It's been nearly 11 months since we've welcomed you back into the cinema, and we've spent the past few of them getting the building prepped as a CinemaSafe approved environment. Keep an eye on your inbox NEXT WEEK for announcements about private theater rentals coming soon to Cinemapolis.

We're excited to see some Cinemapolitans IRL ASAP.
