Film Screening – Bashu, the Little Stranger
At 2155 Center St

This 1986 Iranian landmark follows a war orphan who escapes to northern Iran, where his differences make him an outsider until a woman takes him in. It's a quietly devastating plea for tolerance, blending realism with moments of pure lyricism. The 4K restoration lets every frame breathe.
