Cinema 10 announces slate of movies to screen at Potsdam Roxy this spring

Posted

POTSDAM – Cinema 10, the international and independent film series, has announced the movies to be shown during the spring season.

The series aims to bring films to the area which are significant artistically, socially or politically, but which generally are not popular enough in the mass market to reach local theaters.

Films are shown at 7:15 p.m. Mondays at the Roxy Theater, 20 Main St. Season tickets are $45 or $35 for students and senior citizens. Individual tickets are $5.50 or $4.50 for students and seniors, available at the door.

The season begins Feb. 11 with the 30th anniversary screening of “My Neighbor Totoro / Tonari no Totoro,” a Japanese animation classic released in 1988.

This timeless Miyazaki classic follows two sisters who discover a forest full of magical creatures after they move to the countryside to be near their sick mother.

“Miyazaki so effectively captures the feeling of a child’s life, inside as well as out, that little ones are often mesmerized by the movie, and adults are returned to a time when they could enjoymystery for its own sake,” writes Sam Adams, The AV Club.

The 86-minute film is rated G but may be scary for young children.

• Feb. 18 – “Roma” (2018, Mexico, d. Alfonso Cuarón) 135 min R
