Willy works for a Mexican drug cartel and, unwisely, falls in love with Marlena, the boss’s wife. When Marlena disappears, a desperate Willy, still in love, searches for her in vain for four years, then follows a rumor of her living in Montreal in the hopes of reconnecting. Ivan Grbovic’s stunning feature was Canada’s official entry for the Best International Feature Film at the 94th Academy Awards.
Narrowly escaping a death sentence for his transgressions, Willy’s flight from Mexico to the North brings opportunity and renewed hope. While working as a migrant field hand, Willy becomes inextricably caught up in his host family’s turmoil and secrets, that begin to entangle with his own. A collaboration with the production teams behind the acclaimed Roma and Incendies, Drunken Birds explores how destinies intersect and tensions swell amongst those dreaming for a better future.

1981 and electronic music is all the rage. Jeróme is a DJ and Philippe, his shy brother, engineers their radio show. When the latter gets called up to military service in West Berlin, he worries that he’s missing out on big opportunities in Vincent Maël Cardona’s brilliant period music film.
The brothers have a hugely popular show on pirate radio in Brittany, Jeróme being the voice (and face) and Phillippe using his considerable talents to engineer and create stunning dance remixes of the top hits of the day. His older brother is dating Marianne, whom Phillippe secretly loves… and who may feel likewise. It’s a stunning moment in European political and musical history, and when Phillippe is called to military duty, he worries that he’s going to miss earth-shaking events, not to mention incredible shows. Boasting an incredible soundtrack and winning performances, Magnetic Beats (Les magnétiques) is a joy to behold.

This big-budget epic drama offers a new version of Vilhelm Moberg’s series about impoverished Swedes who left misery behind to create a better life for themselves and their children on free land in Minnesota in the mid-19th century. The four books in Moberg
’s series published between 1949 and 1959 are considered Swedish literary classics. In 1971 and 1972, director Jan Troell adapted the four tomes into two acclaimed movies starring Max Von Sydow and Liv Ullmann. Now, in his sensitive adaptation, Norwegian director Erik Poppe (The King’s Choice) reinterprets the story, showing it through the eyes of Kristina Nilsson (Lisa Carlehed). Despite not really wanting to leave everything she knows behind, she is such a devoted wife and partner to the stubborn Karl-Oskar (Gustaf Skarsgård) that she allows herself to be persuaded. Kristina’s friendship with the prostitute-turned-fine lady Ulrika (Swedish pop sensation Tove Lo in her film debut) also gets more screen time.

Sam, all of 17-years-old, has been kicked out of boarding school. A spiraling student, he’s suffering from a crushing depression brought on by the death of his mother. When his father brings him home, there’s a surprise – his long-absent, icy and reluctantly dependent grandmother Ruth (a spirited Charlotte Rampling) has moved in.
Sharp as a needle but as self-destructive (and perhaps self-delusional) as her grandson, Ruth is trapped in a wheelchair, needing someone to feed her, listen to her, and most importantly, pour her enormous pitchers of gin. Slowly, over time, the pair begin to connect, sharing their grief and their dreams, and a genuine family, warts and all, begins to emerge. Matthew J. Saville’s smart, touching dramedy is a tour de force for Rampling, who meets her match in George Ferrier’s Sam.

Indie music manager Doris Muñoz looks back on childhood experiences with her close-knit family and her early career launching the pop star, Cuco. Being the first American-born member of her undocumented family means coming of age is complicated by the added responsibilities of green card processing and family reunification. In spite of the crushing pressures, Doris hustles to find new musical talent amongst a community of children of immigrants for whom success is more than an individual dream, it’s a collective lifeline.
Mija is an emotional and moving portrait of an ambitious young woman moving up in the music world while staying deeply connected to her parents as they struggle for secure permanent residency status, financial stability, and the freedom to safely visit their beloved family in Mexico. As the only family member who can traverse the border safely, Mija represents the hope, guilt, and challenges of first generation youth.

SoulTouch Productions and Landmark Center, in partnership with Minneapolis St. Paul International Film Festival (MSPIFF), present “CHOICE Cinema Series: In the Footsteps of Gordon Parks”, a screening of films by legendary artist Gordon Parks. The selection of films includes Half Past Autumn at 1 pm on Saturday, May 7; The Learning Tree at 3 pm on Sunday, May 8; and Leadbelly at 7 pm on Friday, May 13 in Landmark Center’s F. K. Weyerhaeuser Auditorium.
Each screening will be followed by conversations with special guests from the Black community of filmmakers to examine the themes of the films and how they are relevant in the Black community today. Actor Art Evans is the special guest for the post-film discussion of Lead Belly.
About Leadbelly
A biography of Huddie Ledbetter (Roger E. Mosley), this drama follows the life of the highly influential African-American blues singer and guitarist, who was better known as “Leadbelly.” The trouble-prone musician frequently ended up working on chain gangs, and, when not incarcerated, he sometimes traveled around with fellow renowned blues man Blind Lemon Jefferson (Art Evans). The film shows how Leadbelly dealt with the racism of his era and found some degree of peace in his music.
Actor Art Evans will be the special guest for Leadbelly. Evans is known for his roles in A Soldier’s Story (1984), Die Hard 2 (1990), Ruthless People (1986), and Trespass (1992). He portrayed Blind Lemon Jefferson in Gordon Parks’ Leadbelly, where his ability to play a number of musical instruments by ear came in handy. Evans studied drama at the Theater of Being under the tutelage of Frank Silvera. Evans will be in conversation with Kokayi Ampah, acclaimed film industry Location Manager and Producer who was mentored by Gordon Parks in his early career, assisting on Shaft (1971) and Leadbelly. Ampah’s illustrious career spans over 50 years, with 40 films to his credit such as Poetic Justice (1993), The Color Purple (1985) and Shawshank Redemption (1994).
About Gordon Parks
Gordon Parks’ films are recognized for their cultural significance and present positive and powerful media representation of young Black men. Parks used his camera as his “weapon” of choice to fight poverty and racism. His work not only gave the rest of the world a glimpse into the life of a person of color, but offered hope, choice, opportunity, and a platform to many in the Black community. As a nationally recognized photographer, musician, writer, and film director, Gordon Parks’ influence has extended through multiple generations and throughout our nation, beginning in St. Paul with his skill in photography.
This series will honor Gordon Parks’ legacy, his choice to use film and photography to portray the Black experience and be a catalyst for societal change. It will feature themes that remain relevant today, including mass incarceration, racism, and coming of age. For many in the Black community, it will be an opportunity to feature stories and narratives not often seen or represented in the mainstream, while for non-Black communities, it will further the understanding of the Black experience, break down barriers and stereotypes, and provide a fuller context to Parks’ work.
“Choice Cinema Series: In the Footsteps of Gordon Parks” is supported by the Saint Paul Cultural STAR Program. For more information on the series, visit the CHOICE Cinema series page at landmarkcenter.org or call 651.292.3063.

In this gripping drama inspired by real events, an endangered musician in a Syrian town controlled by ISIS must sell his beloved piano in order to escape the country. The film marks the feature debut of Columbia University-trained, Lebanese writer-director Jimmy Keyrouz and is an expansion of his 2016 Student Academy Award-winning short “Nocturne in Black.” Boasting a score by Keyrouz’s famous compatriot Gabriel Yared and a Cannes 2020 label designation, the film combines real-life crisis, potent emotion and an ending of stunning defiance.
In Sekka, 20-something pianist Karim shares a bombed-out building with his cousin Maya, and many other neighbors of assorted ages and occupations, some of whom belong to an underground resistance opposing ISIS. Since playing or listening to music is one of many things forbidden by the extremist group, Karim plans to pay a smuggler to get him to Europe, where he hopes to fulfill his dream of performing with an orchestra.

Frida is a 40-year-old painting therapist who finds herself pregnant. When Felix, her boyfriend, (who hasn’t been her partner for very long), hears this, he’s gone and back with his ex. What is Frida to do but launch a full-scale, sometimes outlandish plan to keep him in her life?
After a chance encounter and whirlwind romance between Frida and Felix results in a stunning pregnancy, the two parents-to-be reevaluate their lives. For Felix, this means hightailing it out of there. But for Frida, it is a challenge–with the help of her friend, a teenage neighbor, she concocts plans to win Felix back that are at once clever and totally bonkers. Laura Lehmus’ bold use of color, magical realism, and a brilliant comic performance by Friederike Kempter make Sweet Disaster a genuine crowd pleaser.

Alegría is a proudly independent woman, living in the family’s ancestral home in the Spanish city of Melilla nestled on the Moroccan coast. When her niece is set to marry, Alegría reluctantly agrees to host the event. Supported by Dunia, her bubbly Moroccan housekeeper, and Marian, her chill Christian best friend, Alegría must open her home and revisit her Jewish roots.
Control is a guiding principle in Alegría’s life, and the chaos of the wedding and all its attendant rituals–not to mention a hopeful reunion with her daughter, absent now for 5 years–leaves her feeling adrift. But Alegría has friends, she has family, and even after a rocky start, the love and respect begins to shine through as she begins to embrace her family’s Jewish past. Violeta Salama, with her directing debut, makes the city of Melilla (where she grew up) as much a part of this family as the characters themselves.

About The Learning Tree
As an African-American teen in small-town Kansas in the 1920s, Newt Winger (Kyle Johnson) largely shrugs off the racial prejudice of his time and place. His calm and self-controlled perspective is in direct opposition to that of his quick-tempered friend, Marcus Savage (Alex Clarke). But when Marcus‘ father, Booker (Richard Ward), murders a man — and Newt witnesses the crime — Newt realizes that going to the police could jeopardize both his friendship and his life.
Actor Kyle Johnson, the special guest for post-screening discussion of The Learning Tree, has appeared in multiple TV shows such as The Fugitive (1963-1967) and Mod Squad (1968-1973). He played the son of Simon of Cyrene in The Greatest Story Ever Told (1965) and appeared in Pretty Maids All in a Row (1971) and Brother on the Run (1973). His most notable performance is from The Learning Tree, where he portrayed Newt Winger, a young Black man attempting to adhere to his morals through the experience of racial injustice.
