Attend Lourdes, a film in French, English, German, and Italian with English subtitles. In it, Sylvie Testud, who may be the greatest French actress of her generation, stars as Christine, a young woman confined to a wheelchair who visits the city of Lourdes in hope of a miraculous recovery, along with thousands of others. She wakes up one morning seemingly cured by a miracle. The leader of the pilgrimage group, a handsome 40-year-old volunteer from the Order of Malta, begins to take an interest in her. She tries to hold on to this newfound chance for happiness while her cure provokes envy and admiration. Yet the movie’s real subject is not religious belief but human frailty.
The film asks us to consider how we would live life severely disabled. And if the hoped-for miracle befell someone else? If romance and the chance for happiness fell from the sky? The film lets no one off the hook—not Christine, her fellow pilgrims, the religious order that runs the show, or the pretty nurses who fancy themselves angels of mercy. Admission is $6 for all University of Miami alumni, faculty, and staff, and is free for students. General admission is $8. The film screens on Friday, May 14 at 7 p.m.; Saturday, May 15 at 5:15 and 9:30 p.m.; and Sunday, May 16 at 2 and 6:15 p.m. For more information, visit www.cosfordcinema.com.

Attend a screening of the Academy Award-nominee for Best Foreign Language Film. Ajami is a powerful crime drama set on the streets of Jaffa’s Ajami neighborhood—a melting pot of cultures and conflicting views among Jews, Muslims, and Christians—and told through the eyes of a cross-section of the city’s inhabitants: a young Israeli fighting a criminal vendetta against his family, a Palestinian refugee working illegally to finance a life-saving surgery, a Jewish police detective obsessed with finding his missing brother, and an affluent Palestinian dreaming of a future with his Jewish girlfriend.
As their stories intersect—and the film’s narrative shifts back and forth in time—we witness a dramatic collision of different worlds and the tragic consequences of enemies living as neighbors. Admission is $6 for all University of Miami alumni, faculty, and staff, and is free for students. General admission is $8. The film screens on Friday, May 14 at 9 p.m.; Saturday, May 15 at 3 and 7:15 p.m.; and Sunday, May 16 at 4 and 8:15 p.m. For more information, visit www.cosfordcinema.com.
