“Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them”  - J.K. Rowling's first screenplay takes place in the year 1926, and Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) has just completed a global excursion to find and document an extraordinary array of magical creatures.

Arriving in New York for a brief stopover, he might have come and gone without incident, were it not for a No-Maj (American for Muggle) named Jacob, a misplaced magical case, and the escape of some of Newt's fantastic beasts, which could spell trouble for both the wizarding and No-Maj worlds.

The film stars Eddie Redmayne as Newt Scamander with Katherine Waterston, Dan Fogler, Alison Sudol, Ezra Miller, Samantha Morton, Jon Voight, Carmen Ejogo and Colin Farrell.

“A Will for the Woods” portrays the last days of a multifaceted advocate and one community’s role in the genesis of a revolutionary movement. Clark Wang prepares for his natural burial while battling lymphoma. As the film follows this musician, psychiatrist and folk dancer’s dream of leaving a legacy in harmony with timeless cycles, environmentalism takes on a profound intimacy. This is a free event that screens at 2 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 6. Volunteers from the non-profit education and advocacy organization Funeral Consumers Alliance of Maine will lead a discussion following the film.

Premiering Thursday, Dec. 15: “Rogue One – A Star Wars Story.”
