FULL MOON LIGHTNIN’

John Gardiner, USA, 2008, 93 min.

It has been over 60 years since New York City bluesman, Floyd Lee, left the hill country of Mississippi and with his exodus he turned his back on a troubled childhood and a harsh life in the cotton fields. Abandoned by a mother he never knew, Floyd still wrestles with unanswered questions to his mysterious and painful past. Now at the age of 73, Floyd and his band embark on a deeply personal journey back home to Mississippi to reconnect with the family he left behind and search for the family he never knew. Along the way they are forced to deal with a tragedy that will change their lives forever. From independent filmmaker, John Gardiner, comes the powerful and gripping story of Floyd Lee.

Admission $7 (concert and screening)

A DEAL IS A DEAL

Jonathan Gershfield, United Kingdom, 2008, 95 min.

London subway driver Paul (played by Mackenzie Crook of the BBC’s The Office) has had two unfortunate accidents in as many weeks. Traumatized but completely blameless, his fellow drivers inform him of the 'Three Strike' rule; three fatal accidents within a month and you're out of a job ... but with a huge pay off! A chance meeting with suicidal Tommy (Colm Meaney of Star Trek) starts Paul thinking about rigging the system and cashing in. Paul and Tommy strike a bargain and the deal is set. But after a weekend spent tying up loose ends together, the men each find something that has eluded them both for years -- true friendship. But on Monday morning, they are back to the reality of the deal they struck. And a deal is a deal. (www.adealisadeal.com)   Admission $5
