ABOUT THE FILMS:

KANSAS CITY, 1996, Dir. Robert Altman, 116 Mins, AGFA, USA

Blondie O’Hara (Jennifer Jason Leigh, THE HATEFUL EIGHT) resorts to desperate measures when her low-level hood husband Johnny (Dermot Mulroney) gets caught trying to steal from Seldom Seen (Harry Belafonte), a local crime boss operating out of jazz haunt The Hey-Hey Club. Out on a limb, Blondie kidnaps laudanum-addled socialite Carolyn (Miranda Richardson), hoping her influential politician husband can pull the right strings and get Johnny out of Seldom Seen’s clutches. Returning to the city of his birth for inspiration, legendary director Robert Altman (NASHVILLE) helms an evocative, bullet-riddled tribute to the music and movies of his youth in a Depression-era gangster film as only he could make.

FORMAT: DCP

PHILADELPHIA, 1993, Dir. Jonathan Demme, 125 Mins, Sony, USA

Fearing it would compromise his career, lawyer Andrew Beckett (Tom Hanks) hides his homosexuality and HIV status at a powerful Philadelphia law firm. But his secret is exposed when a colleague spots the illness’s telltale lesions. Fired shortly afterwards, Beckett resolves to sue for discrimination, teaming up with Joe Miller (Denzel Washington), the only lawyer willing to help. In court, they face one of his ex-employer’s top litigators, Belinda Conine (Mary Steenburgen).
