On the first Monday after the long weekend, May 4, the Australian comedy “That’s Sex” will be shown. Ordinary couples and their extraordinary bedroom adventures feature in this hit comedy about sexual fantasies and ourselves.
The following week, on May 11, there will be a preview screening of “Timbuktu”. The city of Timbuktu, after which the film is titled, lies in what is now Mali, in West Africa.

At the site, Nikitin discovers that the building will not survive the night. Immediate evacuation is necessary...
At the final Monday meeting, on May 25, we will screen “Citizenfour”, Laura Poitras’s documentary about Edward Snowden, who revealed that U.S. intelligence agencies conduct mass surveillance of citizens.
