Final shows for “Joan Baez I Am Noise” and Classic Film Series “The Searchers”(1956) this week; “Priscilla” opens Nov. 10.

Joan Baez I Am Noise”- NR; 1 hour, 49 minutes: “Joan Baez I Am A Noise” is an unusually intimate psychological portrait of legendary folk singer and activist Joan Baez. Neither a conventional biopic nor a traditional concert film, this immersive documentary moves back and forth through time as it follows Joan on her farewell tour and delves into her extraordinary archive, including newly discovered home movies, diaries, artwork, therapy tapes, and audio recordings. Throughout the film, Baez is remarkably revealing about her life on and off stage - from her lifelong emotional struggles to her civil rights work with MLK and a heartbreaking romance with a young Bob Dylan. A searingly honest look at a living legend, this film is a compelling and deeply personal exploration of an iconic artist who has never told the full truth of her life, as she experienced it, until now. One week only. Wednesday, Nov. 8, 7 p.m., Thursday, Nov. 9, 7 p.m.

“The celebrated folk singer and activist was singing about civil rights, of course. But what we learn in the thoughtful, thorough and sometimes harrowingly intimate Joan Baez: I Am a Noise is that Baez was also seeking to overcome much on a personal scale.” – Jocelyn Noveck, Associated Press

“The Searchers” (1956) - NR; 1 hour 59 minutes: In this revered Western, Ethan Edwards (John Wayne) returns home to Texas after the Civil War. When members of his brother's family are killed or abducted by Comanches, he vows to track down his surviving relatives and bring them home. Eventually, Edwards gets word that his niece Debbie (Natalie Wood) is alive, and, along with her adopted brother, Martin Pawley (Jeffrey Hunter), he embarks on a dangerous mission to find her, journeying deep into Comanche territory. Two shows only: Thursday, Nov. 9, 2 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 11, 2 p.m.

"A rip-snorting Western, as brashly entertaining as they come." – Bosley Crowther, New York Times

“Priscilla” - R; 1 hour, 50 minutes: When teenage Priscilla Beaulieu meets Elvis Presley at a party, the man who is already a meteoric rock-and-roll superstar becomes someone entirely unexpected in private moments: a thrilling crush, an ally in loneliness, a gentle best friend. Through Priscilla’s eyes, Sofia Coppola tells the unseen side of a great American myth in Elvis and Priscilla’s long courtship and turbulent marriage, from a German army base to his dream-world estate at Graceland, in this deeply felt and ravishingly detailed portrait of love, fantasy, and fame.

"The fascinating and delicate creation, superbly acted and gorgeous to behold, shares a portrait of an artist’s wife, and through her gaze reenvisions the man behind the curtain of superstardom." – Thelma Adams, AARP Movies for Grownups
