PADDINGTON Bear
F A young Peruvian bear with a passion for all things British travels
to London in search of a home. Lost and alone at
Paddington Station, he begins to realize that city
life is not all he had imagined - until he meets
the kind Brown family. After reading the label

this rarest of bears catches the eye of a museum
taxidermist. 2014, PG, 1 hr 35 minutes.

Blessed is the Match
She was only 22 years old when she parachuted into Nazi-
occupied Europe in an effort to save the Jews of Hungary, but
when poet and diarist Hannah Senesh was executed by the

generations to come. NR, 2010, 90 minutes. Starts at 1 p.m.
Everyday is a Holiday
Throughout her youth and young adulthood, filmmaker Theresa
Loong recalls a cheerful father, Paul, who loved to laugh and play
pranks on his kids, but who would show occasional flashes of
anger and sadness. An innocent question about a curious scar
on his back received an “everyone has secrets” response. She
knew this much: His road to becoming an American citizen was
anything but direct. The film draws upon Paul’s experiences to
explore contemporary issues of war, immigration, and national
identity and celebrates the freedom that comes with confronting
the past and facing the future with resilience, forgiveness, and
love. NR, 2015, 60 minutes. Starts at 3 p.m.
Oil & Water

Amazon region by reckless oil drilling. Hugo comes to America to
fight for the survival of his Amazonian tribe, while David goes to
Ecuador to launch the world’s first company to certify oil as ‘fair
trade.’ Their journeys lead them to explore what could be a more
just future for people around the world born with oil beneath
their feet. Eight years in the making, it is a shocking and inspiring
David and Goliath story. NR, 2014, 60 minutes. Starts at 4:30 p.m.

Nnedi Okorafor: Nigerian American
writer and professor Nnedi Okorafor
has incorporated Nigerian cosmology,
creatures her mother told her about, and
stories she overheard the elders tell in
Nigeria into her books and short stories.
Despite the fact that her work is classified as speculative, it’s
actually not so easy to tell what’s fact and what is fiction in her
work. Nnedi Okorafor will discuss the inspirations behind her
highly imaginative works of science fiction and fantasy and
prove to you that “realistic” fiction has many faces. 90 minutes.
n East Regional 6:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 30

of Kings and The Wall of Storms. He will also
discuss how his work is rooted in the literature of the fantastic
and inspired by Classical Chinese literature, Western epics,
paper-folding, the latest advances in science, engineering
as poetry and touch upon translation as a metaphor for
understanding all literature. 90 minutes.
n RIDGLEA 6:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 21

specifically Raven Stole the Moon and The Art of Racing in the
Rain. 90 minutes.
n Central 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 27
Jacquelyn Mitchard: Telling Stories About
Stories: How Books Change Lives: Jackie
talks about how stories are the cornerstone
of every culture, religion and group. Stories

values, and may be the most distinguishing
characteristic of humanity. She’ll tell stories, both funny and
moving, about her own recent experiences with the power of
stories and how they’ve shaped her life. 90 minutes.
