Years In 1. Pamela Yates came to Seattle to show Guatemala, When the Mountains Tremble, her feature length history of the largely Mayan country that has been dominated for centuries by a handful of wealthy families. This week shes returned to fill in those missing years of genocide, corruption and disappearances its estimated that 1. The protests that lead to the overthrow of a president carry hard to avoid echoes of recent demonstrations in the U. S. Yates is scheduled to attend the screening. May 2. 6, Uptown John HartlAfterimage The final film of acclaimed Polish director Andrzej Wajdas near 7. Boasting a screenplay by Gabriel Garci Mrquez, with dialogue Mexicanized by Carlos Fuentes. Time to Die is a stark and fatalistic revenge story set in. Wladyslaw Strzeminski. Boguslaw Linda embodies the aging artist who struggles against the rising tide of Communist censorship, inspires awe and devotion in his students and has an almost hostile relationship with his young daughter. Hes simultaneously charismatic, sympathetic and maddening. Deliberately paced, bleak and a touch repetitive, Afterimages is a swan song from one of the greats, who, like his subject, leaves viewers with a treatise on how to look at the world. May 2. 6, Uptown Brent Mc. KnightAngry Inuk Less a pro seal hunting documentary than an impassioned plea for cultural understanding often denied indigenous people, Alethea Arnaquq Barils film presents a different perspective than what typically dominates this conversation. Its most compelling, and often frustrating, as a portrait of a rural Inuit population that relies on sustainable seal hunting for food, community and economic survival. The camera captures gorgeous arctic landscapes as the narrative tracks the yearslong struggle against international legislation. A touch overlong and repetitive in places, and occasionally employing the oversimplified blanket coverage of which it rightly accuses the opposition, Angry Inuk offers much to chew on. May 2. 8, Uptown 1. May 2. 9, Uptown B. The Last Airbender 2, sequel. M. Band Aid Whats the best course of action for a couple that cant stop fighting Obviously, starting a band with their weird neighbor and turning all of their biggest battles into catchy, minimalist pop songs. A predictable but quirky relationship comedy, Band Aid cuts through slacker angst, millennial ennui and the hazards of watching your friends mature as you flounder. Full of sarcastic humor, earnest emotion and a phenomenal performance from writerdirectorproducerstar Zoe Lister Jones, it hinges on the central relationship. But even with deep rooted problems, this is a couple worth rooting for. Lister Jones and producer Daryl Wein are scheduled to attend both screenings. May 2. 8, Pacific Place 5 3. May 2. 9, Uptown B. M. Becoming Who I Was As playfully time oriented as its title, Becoming Who I Was makes reincarnation a central part of its story about a journey through more than one life. Whether you buy it depends largely on your feelings about karma and related ideas that can sound like child abuse in this context. While the child hero grows up on screen, his teacher has a creepy weakness for death defying ritual. June 1, Shoreline Community College. J. H. City of Ghosts Timely, pressing, important. Oscar nominated director Matthew Heineman Cartel Land tells the story of Syrian citizen journalists taking on ISIS in their hometown. Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently uses hidden cameras, clandestine internet connections, and social media to show the world the reality in the capital of ISIS. Exiled, in hiding, depending on brave undercover assets, their task becomes increasingly harrowing as friends and family die and lives hang in the balance. Chilling moments suck the air out of the room. We see the heavy toll, but fleeting glimpses of normalcy and joy illuminate why they persist. Heineman is scheduled to attend both screenings. May 2. 6, Uptown 2 3. May 2. 7, Uptown B. M. Come, Together When the husband and father of a middle class South Korean family loses his soul crushing middle management job after 1. He goes stir crazy, his wife feels pressure to take risks at work, and their college hopeful daughter flounders on a waitlist. Cracks form in the facade and petty resentments, long suppressed, bubble to the surface with bitter fights, biting family drama, and nihilistic humor. Everyone is lonely and miserable, but at least we can be lonely and miserable together. Director Shin Dong Il is scheduled to attend the June 3 and 4 screenings. Phineas And Ferb Theater Movie. May 3. 0, Shoreline 9 p. June 3, Uptown 1. June 4, Uptown B. M. A Date for Mad Mary To say that Mary Mc. Ardle has anger management issues is an understatement. Fresh from a six month prison term for a nightclub assault, shes a walking incendiary device. The smallest things set her off, including anything to do with the upcoming wedding of her best friend who, increasingly, seems to be avoiding her. Is there anything that could undo Marys gift for self sabotagePossibly. Irish director Darren Thornton, with dynamo Sena Kerslake as Mary, delivers a canny blend of biting comedy and soulful drama. May 2. 7, Egyptian 6 3. May 2. 8, Shoreline Community College M. U. Finding Kukan Brash, unapologetic personalities make fascinating documentary subjects, even in uneven films. For nearly a decade, Robin Lung attempted to unearth the truth about Li Ling Ai and her uncredited role in producing Kukan, the Oscar winning 1. China during World War II. The film has been lost and Lis involvement all but erased. Through interviews, documents and archival footage, her story takes shape. She was an author, dancer, lecturer, activist and even pilot. At 7. 5 minutes, Finding Kukan feels thin in spots, but its so compelling thats easily forgiven. Lung will appear at the May 2. May 2. 7, Uptown 7 p. May 2. 8, Pacific Place 4 3. June 2, Ark Lodge. B. M. The Girl Without Hands This brief French fairy tale, adapted from a little known Brothers Grimm story about a young woman who escapes from the devil at a terrible price, is surprisingly dark young children may find it disturbing or, with its subtitles and murky storytelling, inscrutable. But those fascinated by the art of animation will find much to ponder here the hand drawn brush strokes, the lush colors, the way just a few quickly sketched lines suddenly take vivid life. May 2. 7, Egyptian 6 3. May 3. 0, Uptown. Moira MacdonaldGlory When a hapless, stuttering railway linesman stumbles across a pile of cash on the tracks hes inspecting, he does the honest thing Report it to the authorities, which makes him a pawn in an ugly game. Corrupt Transport Ministry officials want to use his heroism to distract the public from an emerging scandal. A crusading journalist has other things in mind for him. Stefan Denolyubov, as the linesman, and Margita Gosheva, as his nemesis, are painfully on target in this Bulgarian satire. One crazed twist Gorshevas character is undergoing fertility treatment throughout, even though motherhood seems the last of her priorities. May 2. 9, Pacific Place 9 3. June 5, Uptown. Michael UpchurchHedi Tunisian Peugeot salesman Hedi is about to get married and it seems more his overbearing mothers idea than his. So it makes sense that, when he falls for a hotel entertainer on a business trip, he starts tearing the whole fabric of his life apart.
