ABOUT THE FILMS:

THELMA, 2024, Dir. Josh Margolin, 97 Mins, Magnolia Pictures, USA

The feature directorial debut of Josh Margolin, THELMA is a poignant action-comedy that gives veteran Oscar-nominee June Squibb (NEBRASKA) her first leading role and features the final performance of trailblazing actor Richard Roundtree (SHAFT). Squibb, who did most of her own stunts in the film, plays Thelma Post, a feisty 93-year-old grandmother who gets conned by a phone scammer pretending to be her grandson (The White Lotus’ Fred Hechinger) and sets out on a treacherous quest across Los Angeles, accompanied by an aging friend (Roundtree) and his motorized scooter, to reclaim what was taken from her.

FORMAT: DCP

NEBRASKA, 2013, Dir. Alexander Payne, 115 Mins, Paramount Pictures, USA

When a father (Bruce Dern) and his adult son (Will Forte) embark on a journey to claim a million-dollar prize, what begins as a fool’s errand becomes a search for the road to redemption.

FORMAT: 35mm
