This film follows the four-year search for the reincarnation of Lama Konchog, a Tibetan master who passed away. The Dalai Lama charges the deceased monk’s devoted disciple, Tenzin Zopa, to search for his master’s reincarnation. Tenzin sets off on this unforgettable quest on foot, mule, and helicopter, through breathtaking landscapes and remote traditional villages. Along the way, Tenzin listens to stories about young children and performs rarely seen ritualistic tests to determine the likelihood of reincarnation. Stunningly shot, this film is a beguiling, surprising, touching, even humorous experience. The film is in English, Tibetan, Hindi and Nepali with English subtitles.

Based on true events and developed from eyewitness accounts during World War II, the political thriller, Flame & Citron, is an ultra-stylized and remarkable spy noir about the murky moral complexities of wartime.

Two resistance fighters nicknamed Flame and Citron become heroes of the underground, dealing violently with traitors to their cause. When the pair is sent to execute Flame’s lover Ketty, the line between ally and enemy is blurred forcing them to determine their own orders, which start with killing the much hated and feared chief of the Gestapom Karl Heinz Hoffman. Danish and German with English Subtitles. Admission is $6 for all University of Miami alumni, faculty, and staff, and is free for students. General admission is $8.
