POTSDAM – Cinema 10 continues the Spring 2024 season on Monday, Feb. 26 with a screening of Origin, a 2023 US film directed by Ava DuVernay at 7:15pm at the Roxy.

Origin tells the true story of author Isabel Wilkerson as she embarks on the creation of her seminal book, Caste. 

While learning to cope with personal tragedy, Wilkerson is driven by the killing of Trayvon Martin to examine America’s culture of racism through the lens of the caste system. 

Academy-award nominee Ava DuVernay (Selma) returns to the director’s chair accompanied by an ensemble cast that includes Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor, Jon Bernthal, Niecy Nash-Betts, and Nick Offerman. 

Steph Green of the BBC said “[Origin] unfolds with unpreaching clarity and fierce focus, full of heart and vibrant intent.” 

Origin runs 135 minutes and is rated PG-13 for disturbing material including racism and violence, language, and smoking.

General Admission is $6.50 for individual and $55 for season tickets.  

Students and senior citizens tickets are $5.50 for individual and $45 for season tickets.  Season tickets are sharable.
