All seats $15 in advance or $18 day of the event!

A journey into the great beauty of Baroque Rome, when the city was the centre of western art and where every ambitious painter, sculptor and architect had to be. This is the story of the most famous artistic rivalry of all time, the one between Borromini and Bernini, but also the story of Borromini’s rivalry with himself: a genius so absorbed by his art that he turns it into a demon that devours him from the inside forcing him to choose death to reach eternity. Borromini deprived himself of everything to pursue a dream: to conquer Rome. It is the story of the architectural revolution of a solitary maestro who changed the appearance of Rome forever, by pushing himself to his limit, but also by battling conventions and prejudices, with the humility to learn from the past to invent the future, with the courage to pursue an idea despite knowing he would pay the price in the end.

"Jeff Nichols subverts the genre with a story that manages to be endearing, gritty, hilarious, and absolutely heartbreaking, all at the same time.." - Serena, Seghedoni, AWFJ.org

Salem Cinema presents a Reel Change For Our Community Benefit Screening for Oregon Food Bank & Marion Polk Food Share featuring WHERE OLIVE TREES WEEP.

Please join us on Sunday, July 7th at 6:30PM.

All seats $15 in advance or $20 the day of the event.

United States/Palestine. 2024. Directed by Maurizio Benazzo, Zaya Benazzo. (104 mins.) in English

WHERE OLIVE TREES WEEP offers a searing window into the struggles and resilience of the Palestinian people under Israeli occupation. It explores themes of loss, trauma, and the quest for justice. We follow, among others, Palestinian journalist and therapist Ashira Darwish, grassroots activist Ahed Tamimi, and Israeli journalist Amira Hass. We also watch Dr. Gabor Maté support a group of women seeking understanding and healing and offer his insights into intergenerational trauma. Ancient landscapes bear deep scars, having witnessed the brutal reality of ancestral land confiscation, expulsions, imprisonment, home demolitions, water deprivation, and denial of basic human rights. Yet, through the veil of oppression, we catch a glimpse of resilience—deep roots that have carried the Palestinian people through decades of darkness and shattered lives. This emotional journey bares the humanity of the oppressed while grappling with the question: what makes the oppressor so ruthlessly blind to its own cruelty?

"The film gives background to the current crisis in Israel/Palestine and brings to light the lives of people we met on our 2022 journey in the occupied West Bank. Their universally human stories speak of intergenerational pain, trauma and resilience. We hope they touch your heart, stir compassion and understanding, and give rise to a pursuit for justice. For without justice, peace remains an empty slogan." - Director Statement

OREGON FOOD BANK believes that we cannot eliminate hunger without eliminating the root causes of hunger. That’s why they work across systems to achieve their mission, and why they center racial and social justice in everything they do. Every day, they work to provide access to nutritious food for all and build community power to eliminate hunger and its root causes for good. Ending hunger means breaking down barriers that prevent equal access to housing, health care, employment and more. They partner with people and organizations across Oregon and southwest Washington to do this critical work together.

ONE NIGHT ONLY! Join us Wednesday, July 10th at 7pm for a special screening of MEET ME IN THE BATHROOM!

United States. 2022. Directed by Dylan Southern, Will Lovelace. (108 mins.) in English

Inspired by Lizzy Goodman’s bestselling book, MEET ME IN THE BATHROOM is an immersive archival journey through the explosive New York music scene of the early 2000s. Set against the backdrop of 9/11 and a world unaware of the seismic political, technological and cultural shifts about to occur, this acclaimed documentary tells the story of the last great romantic age of rock 'n' roll through the prism of a handful of era defining bands, including The Strokes, LCD Soundsystem, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Interpol, TV on the Radio, and The Moldy Peaches.

Brought to life with quiet dignity, force and emotion, FANCY DANCE is an indelible journey of personal and collective discovery.

"A potent, layered and beautiful heartache of a movie grappling with traumas but finding hope and even joy in the bond between these women, and the way they hold onto their culture and these ceremonies that have resisted and survived colonization." - Radheyan Simonpillai, CTV's Your Morning

"Erica Tremblay, who directed and co-wrote the film, tells a small story with honesty and sharp attention to detail." - Adam Graham, Detroit News

Already having a breakout year thanks to her acclaimed performance in Martin Scorsese’s KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON, Lily Gladstone cements her status as one of the most exciting actors working today in FANCY DANCE, a powerful drama in which she plays a Native American woman trying desperately to hold her family together. Months after her mom’s disappearance, Roki (Isabel Deroy-Olson), a good-natured, impressionable 13-year-old, holds out hope that they’ll dance together in the state powwow. Her tough but loving aunt Jax (Gladstone) is a bit more clear-eyed but no less determined to find her sister, and when the authorities make their indifference apparent, Jax takes matters into her own hands. When Roki is removed from Jax’s care and placed with her estranged white grandparents (Shea Whigham, Audrey Wasilewski), Jax kidnaps her niece and hits the road in search of answers, setting into motion a series of events that will change both of their lives. With this sensitive and assured feature debut, Seneca-Cayuga filmmaker Erica Tremblay has created an unforgettable depiction of hardship and joyful resistance.

Brimming with caustic wit and sly, biting humor, KINDS OF KINDNESS is a mad, absurdist and unhinged anthology of artful mayhem!

"It is an intelligent and darkly funny film that brings together a bevy of cast and crew members all at the top of their game." - Joanne Titmarsh, London Evening Standard

"What’s clear is that the Stone-Lanthimos pairing, in their third feature together, is continuing to nurture an aspect of Stone’s talents that increasingly sets her apart: Her fearlessness and the obvious joy she derives from it." - Jocelyn Noveck, Associated Press

Visceral and scaldingly original, KINDS OF KINDNESS will leave fans utterly intoxicated by this triple shot of pure, unfiltered Yorgos Lanthimos! Told in three chapters, we first meet a man who appears to lead a very happy and successful life, but things may not be as under control as they seem. Next, a cop is relieved when his wife, lost at sea, is rescued only to come to doubt she is who she says she is. Finally, a duo conducts a search for a person with a very particular skill to occupy an elevated position in a spiritual sect. How do these seemingly unrelated yet captivating stories relate? Reuniting with writing collaborator Efthymis Filippou (DOGTOOTH, THE LOBSTER), Lanthimos explores these enthrallingly transgressive and bizarre scenarios with the passionate fervor he is known for. Emma Stone, Jesse Plemons and Willem Dafoe are joined by a brilliant group of players – Margaret Qualley, Hong Chau, Joe Alwyn, Mamoudou Athie and Hunter Schafer – in these strange, surprising and subversive tales.

Featuring a brilliant Sean Penn and a superb Dakota Johnson, DADDIO is an offbeat drama of depth and sincerity.

"Every aspect of Daddio is designed to spark conversation. But it’s sweeter and more satisfying than you might expect." - Peter DeBruge, Variety

"Both stars excel in their roles, and Ms. Hall’s astute script builds one unexpected yet plausible revelation atop another as the two develop a surprisingly intimate bond." - Kyle Smith, Wall Street Journal

A young woman (Dakota Johnson) jumps into the backseat of a yellow taxi at JFK and the cabbie (Sean Penn) throws the vehicle into drive as the two head out into the night toward Manhattan, striking up a most unexpected conversation that results in a single, epic, remarkable journey. She's clearly preoccupied and just wants to get home. He's a curbside philosopher. Immediately, he engages her in conversation which starts in small talk then gets bigger, deeper and riskier as he steers her to her destination. A stunning showcase for Johnson and Penn, with both displaying their range, power and magnetism, DADDIO is awkwardly comical, subdued in its revealed tragedy and, ultimately, a lovingly tender tale about our need for connection.

Breathtaking performances and a sensitive script make JANET PLANET the most tender and rapturous cinematic experience of the summer.

"The kind of luminous portrait of a summer where nothing happens and yet everything happens." - Alissa Wilkinson, VOX

"There is a pensive pleasure that comes with being pulled into the orbit of Janet Planet, to which I’m already planning my return." - Zachary Barnes, Wall Street Journal

It’s the summer before Lacy (Zoe Ziegler) starts sixth grade, and she is spending the lazy months with her acupuncturist mother, Janet (Julianne Nicholson) in their home in the woods. As the months drift by, the bespectacled, imaginative, taciturn girl fiercely observes her mother and her relationships with three enigmatic adults who are captivated by her spellbinding nature as they drift in and out of their lives. Set in 1991 rural Western Massachusetts, JANET PLANET, the sublime debut film from Pulitzer Prize­–winning playwright Annie Baker, is a work of surreal tranquility that expresses oceans of feeling with the smallest gestures. She magnificently captures a child's experience of time passing, as well as the ineffable stage of a daughter falling out of love with her mother, with grace and pathos.

THELMA is a hilarious, heartwarming and riotous action comedy with 94-year-old June Squibb in the driver's seat for the very first time!

"Writer-director Josh Margolin imagines, quite cleverly, what a “Mission: Impossible” film might look like for a 94-year-old woman, but he doesn’t scrimp on deeper issues either." - Johnny Olenski, New York Post

"Bolstered by some cheeky action tropes, including twists, chases, gunplay, and even an explosion, Thelma is more than a winsome romp. It's a real thrill." - Kristy Puchko, Mashable

Inspired by a real-life experience of director Josh Margolin's own grandmother, THELMA puts a bold, clever spin on movies like MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE. When 94-year-old Thelma Post (a steely, hysterical June Squibb) gets duped by a phone scammer pretending to be her grandson, she vows to bring the perpetrators to justice, setting out on an odyssey across an evocatively lensed Los Angeles landscape accompanied by her old friend Ben (a scene-stealing Richard Roundtree in his final performance). With infectious humor, Margolin employs the familiar tropes of the action genre in hilarious, age-appropriate ways to tackle aging with agency. Squibb portrays the strong-willed Thelma with grit and determination, demonstrating that she is more than capable of taking care of business – despite what her daughter Gail (Parker Posey), son-in-law Alan (Clark Gregg) or grandson Danny (Fred Hechinger) might believe. Trust us, you'll never look at a mobility scooter the same way again!
