When Charlie McFarland (Paul Hogan), in his late 60s, suffers a devastating loss and withdraws into his grief, his youngest son, Boots (Shane Jacobson), decides something must be done. Boots convinces his reluctant father to take a fishing trip with him, but it is not until they are on their way does he confess that they are not actually going to fish at their favorite local spot, but off the top of Australia at Cape York—3,000 miles away. The film screens on Friday, July 30 at 9:30 p.m.; Saturday, July 31 at 1:30 p.m. and 6 p.m.; and Sunday, August 1 at 1:30 p.m. and 6 p.m. Admission (cash only) for seniors, University of Miami alumni, faculty, non-UM students, and staff is $6; general admission is $8.

Based on the novel by Peter Cameron, the film features a stellar cast including Academy Award winner Anthony Hopkins, three-time Academy Award nominee Laura Linney, and Academy Award winner Norma Aleandro. An Iranian-born graduate student whose financial aid for a fellowship is contingent on writing an authorized biography of the deceased Latin American author Jules Gund finds out his authorization is denied after his first semester. The student travels to Argentina to find out why. A finely tuned romantic comedy of modern manners. The film screens on Friday, July 30 at 7 p.m.; Saturday, July 31 at 3:30 p.m. and 8 p.m.; and Sunday, August 1 at 3:30 p.m. and 8 p.m. Admission (cash only) for seniors, University of Miami alumni, faculty, non-UM students, and staff is $6; general admission is $8.
