"Liza: A Truly Terrific Absolutely True Story" (NR; 1hour, 44 minutes): This star-studded tribute brings into focus the dazzling, complex period of Liza Minnelli's life starting in the 1970s--just after the tragic death of her mother Judy Garland--as she confronts a range of personal and professional challenges on the way to becoming a bona fide legend. Over these years, Liza seeks out extraordinary mentors: Kay Thompson, Fred Ebb, Charles Aznavour, Halston, and Bob Fosse. With insightful participation from a coterie of colleagues such as Michael Feinstein, Mia Farrow, Ben Vereen, Joel Grey and the late Chita Rivera, along with the revelatory participation by the star herself, the film illuminates the contradiction of Liza Minnelli: her privilege and struggle, strength and vulnerability, unreal expectations and towering talent--the friction of which fueled her stunning rise, resilience and her enduring place as one of the greatest, most original performers in the history of entertainment.PlayingFriday, March 21 at 7 p.m., Saturday, March 22 at 2 p.m., Sunday, March 23 at 5 p.m., and Wednesday, March 26 at 2 p.m.
"No Other Land" (NR; 1 hour, 35 minutes): A collective of Palestinian and Israeli activist/filmmakers chronicle the Israeli military’s incremental expulsion of the West Bank community of Masafer Yatta — home to 20 ancient Palestinian villages — in this tightly focused, urgent documentary, and winner of Best Documentary Feature at the 2025 Academy Awards. Over a period of five years (2019–23), Masafer Yatta resident and Palestinian journalist Basel Adra shoots video of home, school, water well, and road demolitions (legalized by the area’s conversion to an IDF training zone) and their consequent protests by displaced residents. Israeli journalist Yuval Abraham — free to move about while Adra’s movements are constricted — takes this nonviolent fight to a wider platform. The two form a complicated friendship and hopeful partnership in their efforts to resist a government-sanctioned mass eviction.PlayingFriday, March 21 at 2 p.m., Saturday, March 22 at 7 p.m., Wednesday, March 26 at 7 p.m., and Thursday, March 27 at 2 p.m.
