ABOUT THE FILMS:

A REAL PAIN, 2024, Dir. Jesse Eisenberg, 90 Mins, Searchlight Pictures, USA

Mismatched cousins David (Jesse Eisenberg) and Benji (Kieran Culkin) reunite for a tour through Poland to honor their beloved grandmother. The adventure takes a turn when the odd-couple’s old tensions resurface against the backdrop of their family history.

FORMAT: DCP

THE TRIP, 2010, Dir. Michael Winterbottom, 112 Mins, IFC Films, UK

Playing loose versions of themselves, Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon reunite with acclaimed director Michael Winterbottom for an acerbically witty, largely improvised ride through the English countryside. Tapped by The Observer to review fine restaurants throughout the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales, Steve finds himself without a traveling companion after his girlfriend decides not to go at the last minute. After being turned down by everyone else he knows, Steve extends an invitation to Rob, and together the pair attempt to navigate the winding back roads of rural England, impersonating popular celebrities and bickering along the way.

FORMAT: 35mm
