The 2022 Winter Film Series
Sometimes it all just falls together as if it was just meant to be. When our film committee was reviewing trailers and reading reviews in our selection process, there was quick agreement by everyone on our first two films, Beans and They Say Nothing Stays the Same.

The Salesman – Revenge, Forgiveness, and Arthur Miller
I have been a fan of Asghar Farhadi since we showed his Academy Award nominated film, A Separation, a couple of years ago.
