This Thursday, April 14, at 7:30 p.m., the Kenneth Lattman Foundation Series continues at the Cosford Cinema with Cold Weather, starring Cris Lankenau, of Miami.  A question-and-answer session with Lankenau follows the film, which will also screen on Friday, April 15 at 7 p.m.; Saturday, April 16 at 6 p.m.; and Sunday, April 17 at 4 p.m.

Cold Weather is not your usual detective story. After abandoning a promising academic career in forensic science, a self-styled Sherlock Holmes, Doug (Cris Lankenau), returns to Portland to live with his more responsible big sister Gail (Trieste Kelly Dunn). He lands a dead-end job working in an ice factory, but soon finds an opportunity to use his passion and skill in detective work when his ex-girlfriend Rachel (Robyn Rikoon) goes missing. Enlisting a team of ramshackle slacker-sleuths, Doug leads his team down a complex trail of clues to discover the mysterious truth about what happened to Rachel. To watch the trailer, click here.
