SUMMARY:Mary Oliver: Saved by the Beauty of the World at Speed Cinema
DESCRIPTION:Mary Oliver: Saved by the Beauty of the World\nDirected by Sasha Waters Freyer \nFriday\, July 31\, 6 pm | BUY TICKETS \n$12 | $8 Speed and Women in Film-KY members \n“I am moved by [the film’s] soft nature that mirrors Oliver’s practice and mind\,”—Cortlyn Kelly\, RogerEbert.com \nIf poetry had a pop icon\, Mary Oliver would be it. Celebrated best-selling poet\, Pulitzer Prize-winner\, lover of dogs and long walks in the woods\, openly queer but intensely private\, Oliver was America’s unlikely contemporary mystic\, stalking the ponds and forests of Cape Cod for nearly fifty years in order to open herself – and her readers – to the known and unknowable world. From a lonely childhood to literary fame\, Oliver’s life was shaped by devotion to nature\, paying attention\, and the long journey toward learning to love and to be loved. Her poems inspire liberals and conservatives\, atheists and believers\, naturalists and urbanites\, speaking directly to contemporary anxieties about attention\, presence\, and the human relationship with the natural world – issues that feel especially pressing in an era of climate crisis\, digital distraction\, and social fragmentation. \nFeaturing interviews with her close friends\, including John Waters\, never-before-seen personal photos\, notebooks\, and correspondence from her archive\, and recitations of her work by Stephen Colbert\, Lucy Dacus\, Steve Buscemi\, and Oprah Winfrey\, Mary Oliver: Saved by the Beauty of the World considers the poet’s long lifetime of work in context\, capturing the uniqueness of her world and the natural beauty that inspired her. 2026\, U.S.\, DCP\, 91 minutes. Recommended for 14+

SUMMARY:Reading Lolita in Tehran at Speed Cinema
DESCRIPTION:Reading Lolita in Tehran\nDirected by Eran Riklis \nSaturday\, August 1\, 6 pm | BUY TICKETS \n$12 | $8 Speed members \n“Gripping—Truly a film for these times.”—Arash Azizi\, The Atlantic \nThis adaptation of Azar Nafisi’s #1 New York Times bestselling memoir Reading Lolita in Tehran is a remarkable exploration of women’s resilience in revolutionary Iran. \nAs Islamic morality squads stage arbitrary raids in Tehran and as fundamentalists seize hold of the universities\, Azar Nafisi\, an inspired teacher\, secretly gathers six of her most committed female students to read forbidden western classics. Unaccustomed to being asked to speak their minds\, they soon removed their veils\, their stories intertwining with the novels they read: just like the heroines of Nabokov\, F. Scott Fitzgerald\, Henry James or Jane Austen\, the women in Nafisi’s living room dare to dream\, hope and love as we experience the complexity of the lives of individuals facing political\, moral and personal siege. \nThe film features striking performances by Golshifteh Farahani (Patterson) and Zar Amir-Ebrahimi (Holy Spider)\, actors who face bans from Iran’s Islamic regime. 2026\, Israel/Italy/U.K.\, DCP\, in English and Persian with English subtitles\, 107 minutes.

SUMMARY:Reading Lolita in Tehran at Speed Cinema
DESCRIPTION:Reading Lolita in Tehran\nDirected by Eran Riklis \nSunday\, August 2\, 3 pm | BUY TICKETS \n$12 | $8 Speed members \n“Gripping—Truly a film for these times.”—Arash Azizi\, The Atlantic \nThis adaptation of Azar Nafisi’s #1 New York Times bestselling memoir Reading Lolita in Tehran is a remarkable exploration of women’s resilience in revolutionary Iran. \nAs Islamic morality squads stage arbitrary raids in Tehran and as fundamentalists seize hold of the universities\, Azar Nafisi\, an inspired teacher\, secretly gathers six of her most committed female students to read forbidden western classics. Unaccustomed to being asked to speak their minds\, they soon removed their veils\, their stories intertwining with the novels they read: just like the heroines of Nabokov\, F. Scott Fitzgerald\, Henry James or Jane Austen\, the women in Nafisi’s living room dare to dream\, hope and love as we experience the complexity of the lives of individuals facing political\, moral and personal siege. \nThe film features striking performances by Golshifteh Farahani (Patterson) and Zar Amir-Ebrahimi (Holy Spider)\, actors who face bans from Iran’s Islamic regime. 2026\, Israel/Italy/U.K.\, DCP\, in English and Persian with English subtitles\, 107 minutes. Recommended for 15+

He is the author of the book Martin Kippenberger: Everything is Everywhere. \nYour ticket includes drawing materials and access to the artwork on view in the North building\, including Abstract Expressionists: The Women and vanessa german: …do you remember when you were the sky? Drawing in the galleries is only permitted on the second floor.
