ROADRUNNER: A Film About Anthony Bourdain
(119 R) 2021 Morgan Neville, director
Ends Aug 11
You would think that Academy Award-winning filmmaker Morgan Neville would find little in common between his latest subjects: the minister and children’s TV host Fred Rogers (Won’t You Be My Neighbor?); and Anthony Bourdain, the acerbic icon who traveled the world in search of culture, history and food. But according to Neville, both men fought to “show people our common humanity." This unflinching look at Bourdain reverberates with his presence, in his own voice and in the way he indelibly impacted the world around him.

MOFFIE
(104 NR) 2021 South Africa Oliver Hermanus, director
Opens Aug 12
Just released in cinemas, Moffie is a devastating look back at the apartheid nation of South Africa in 1981. Soft-spoken 16-year-old Nicholas Van der Swart (Kai Luke Brummer) is serving two years of compulsory military service on the Angolan border. For Nicholas, the experience is life-changing, as he explores his sexuality with a fellow soldier. But challenging the strict status quo makes it clear – that racism, toxic masculinity and homophobia go hand in hand.

THE GREEN KNIGHT
(130 R) 2021 Ireland, Canada, United States & United Kingdom. David Lowery, director
Opens Aug 13
An epic fantasy adventure based on the timeless Arthurian legend, The Green Knight tells the story of Sir Gawain (Dev Patel), King Arthur's reckless and headstrong nephew, who embarks on a daring quest to confront the eponymous Green Knight, a gigantic emerald-skinned stranger and tester of men. Gawain contends with ghosts, giants, thieves, and schemers in what becomes a deeper journey to define his character and prove his worth in the eyes of his family and kingdom by facing the ultimate challenger. From visionary filmmaker David Lowery comes a fresh and bold spin on a classic tale from the knights of the round table.
