7PM “Viscous” - an Edinboro short film by Brad Pattullo
The Life of Chuck
From childhood to adulthood, Chuck Krantz (Tom Hiddleson) experiences the wonder of love, the heartbreak of loss, and the multitudes contained in all of us. Showing a sweeter side of director Mike Flanagan's deeply-felt emotional register, Chuck is a buoyant and often wonderful adaptation of one of Stephen King's more cosmically optimistic tales.
2025. Drama/Fantasy/Sci-Fi. Rated R. Neon.

7PM The Bibi Files
Alexis Bloom's riveting film is built around leaked tapes of the police interrogation of Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, and provides an unflinching gaze into the private world behind the headlines. Petty vanity and a sense of entitlement leads to corruption, and the unwillingness of the Netanyahus to give up power. The extreme right senses opportunity in Bibi’s weakness, and the dominos fall.
