On Wednesday, June 17 at 7pm, we are thrilled to welcome homegrown talent Elijah Stevens to the Amherst Cinema stage following a screening of his new film, TIME AND WATER: https://amherstcinema.org/films-and-events/time-and-water

From director Sara Dosa (FIRE OF LOVE), TIME AND WATER captures Icelandic poet and author Andri Snær Magnason chasing something elusive. As the glacial ice of his homeland melts, he constructs a time capsule to hold onto this moment and send it to the future, before everything he loves slips away.

Producer Elijah Stevens was raised in Leverett and is an alum of the Amherst-Pelham Regional School District. Grab your tickets to this special screening now at our website.

Opening this Friday, June 12 are two new documentaries: ASK E. JEAN, the thrilling story of trailblazing journalist E. Jean Carroll’s life; and SEEDS, the Sundance-winning portrait of Black generational farmers in the American South.

Today—Thursday, June 11—is the last day to catch SILENT FRIEND, an epic, awe-inspiring exploration of the natural world starring Tony Leung and Léa Seydoux.

Held over into next week are TIME AND WATER, TUNER, and I LOVE BOOSTERS. See showtimes and grab tickets for all of the above at our website: https://amherstcinema.org

TIME AND WATER, the new film from the director of FIRE OF LOVE, is now playing at Amherst Cinema: https://amherstcinema.org/films-and-events/time-and-water

Facing the death of his country’s glaciers and the loss of his beloved grandparents, Icelandic writer Andri Snær Magnason turns his archives into a time capsule to hold what is slipping away—family, memory, time and water.

Playing June 24 & 28 in a new 4K restoration! Groundbreaking when it was made and still fiercely innovative today, BY HOOK OR BY CROOK is a trans and butch buddy film that chronicles three weeks in the life of Shy, a handsome, gender-bending, small town dreamer with a nagging messiah complex: https://amherstcinema.org/films-and-events/by-hook-or-by-crook

Emotionally defeated after the death of his father, Shy heads to the big city to sink himself into a "life of crime." He is quickly distracted by Valentine, a deliriously expressive, wise-acre adoptee on a misguided search for her birth mother. The two freaky grifters join forces and learn the true meaning of "poise under pressure" in this visually stunning and wonderfully acted, anti-authoritarian tale of friendship, trust and redemption.

It's time for your weekly roundup of first-run film at Amherst Cinema!
