From acclaimed director Avi Nesher comes Israel’s coming-of-age hit film The Matchmaker. Arik, a teenage boy growing up in Haifa in 1968, gets a job working for Yankele Bride, a matchmaker. Yankele, a mysterious Holocaust survivor, has an office in back of a sketchily located movie theater that shows only love stories and is run by a family of seven Romanian dwarves. As Arik begins to learn the mysteries of the human heart through his work with Yankele, he falls in love with Tamara, his friend Beni’s cousin. Tamara has just returned from America and is full of talk of women’s rights, free love, and rock and roll. The disparate parts of Arik’s life collide in unexpected, often funny, and very moving ways as he lives through a summer that changes him forever. Nominated for seven Israeli Academy Awards, including Best Picture, the film is in Hebrew with English subtitles.

The film screens on Saturday, June 23 at 1:30 p.m. and 9:15 p.m. and Sunday, June 24 at 3:30 p.m. General admission is $9.

When Cody dies suddenly in a car accident, Joey and Chip struggle to find their footing again. Just as they begin to, Cody’s will reveals that he named his sister as Chip’s guardian. The years of Joey’s acceptance into the family unravel as Chip is taken away from him. In his now solitary home life, Joey searches for a solution. The law is not on his side, but friends are.
