July 25
Alcatraz
offers a panoramic picture of the music of the Peruvian coast, from the spirited afroperuvian festejos and poignant landos to the popular creole waltzes. The ensemble’s rendering of classic Peruvian repertoire draws upon influences of traditional Peruvian ensembles and artists from the earliest recordings to the present, including Carlos Hayre, Teatro del Milenio, Peru Negro and Susana Baca, fusing these elements to arrive at an original interpretation that speaks to the tradition and yet resonates in the present day.

Space Movies • Fridays • 7pm

August 1
The Iron Giant 1999
Animation. PG. 86 min. Warner Bros. Brad Bird, Dir.
Based on The Iron Man, Ted Hughes, 1968.

A robot falls to Earth, frightening a small town. After befriending a boy, the unlikely pair, boy and machine, save residents from fear.

PG. 113 min. Universal.
Mike Hodges, Dir.

An update of the 1930s comic strip, this action film shows Flash Gordon a match for the evil ruler of planet Mongo.

August 15
Sputnik Mania, 2007
Documentary. G. 87 min., David Hoffman, Dir.

Fifty years ago, at the height of the Cold War, the USSR launched Sputnik, the first satellite to orbit the earth, bringing America to its knees in awe - then fear. Initially thrilling as a marvel of science, Sputnik was soon viewed by America a weapon of mass destruction. Narrated by Liev Schreiber with expert use of archival footage, SPUTNIK MANIA explores the fast-moving series of events that brought the world's super-powers to the brink of nuclear war, and includes the story of two ex-generals whose private agreement prevented WW III.

August 22
In the Shadow of the Moon, 2007
Documentary. PG. 100 min. ThinkFilm. David Sington, Dir.

Between 1968 and 1972, nine American spacecraft voyaged to the Moon, and 12 men walked upon its surface. They remain the only human beings to have stood on another world. In the Shadow of the Moon brings together for the first, and very possibly the last, time surviving crew members from every single Apollo mission which flew to the Moon, and allows them to tell their story in their own words

August 29
Wallace and Gromit: A Grand Day Out, 1989
Animation. 23 min. Aardman Animations. Nick Park, Dir.
