Heroic Young Students Overcome Everything for Education in ON THE WAY TO SCHOOL
They live in all four corners of the planet and share a thirst for knowledge. Almost instinctively they know that their well-being, indeed their survival, depends on knowledge and education. From the dangerous savannahs of Kenya to the winding trails of the Atlas Mountains in Morocco; from the suffocating heat of southern India to the vast, dizzying plateaus of Patagonia, these children are all united by the same quest, the same dream. Jackson, Zahira, Samuel and Carlito are the heroes of ON THE WAY TO SCHOOL, a film that interweaves portraits of four pupils forced to confront and overcome countless, often dangerous obstacles – enormous distances over treacherous territory, avoiding snakes, elephants, even bandits – on their journey to their classrooms.
We are very pleased to open this documentary, which “quietly reveals these four small stories as epically heroic and timeless journeys” (Village Voice), on Friday, March 6 at the Music Hall and March 7 at the Playhouse.

DIGGING UP THE MARROW Cast and Crew at the NoHo this Weekend
What if the ghastly images and abominations haunting our collective nightmares actually exist? Writer/director Adam Green (Hatchet) sets out to make a documentary exploring this tantalizing premise after being contacted by a mysterious man named William Dekker (Ray Wise). Dekker claims he can prove that “monsters are real” and insists these grotesque creatures are forgotten, hideously deformed humanoids inhabiting a vast, underground metropolis of the damned. Determined to expose the truth, Green embarks on a bone-chilling odyssey and gets more than he bargains for when he dares to go Digging Up the Marrow.
We open DIGGING UP THE MARROW at the NoHo today and tonight the filmmaker Adam Green and actors Will Barratt, Alex Pardee, and Ray Wise will be there to introduce the 9:55 screening. Green and Barratt will be back to do the same for the Saturday, February 21 screening, joined by creature effects artists Rob Pendergraft and Greg Aronowitz.
BOY MEETS GIRL Q&A’s Opening Weekend at the NoHo 7
Eric Schaeffer’s new film, BOY MEETS GIRL, is a poignant, sexy, romantic coming-of-age comedy about three twenty year olds living in Kentucky: Robby, (Michael Welch, Twilight) and his best friend since childhood, Ricky, a gorgeous transgender girl, have never dated. Lamenting the lack of eligible bachelors, Ricky considers dating a girl. In walks Francesca, a beautiful young debutante waiting for her Marine fiancé to return from the war. Ricky and Francesca strike up a friendship, and maybe a little more, which forces Robby to face his true feelings for Ricky. This is a sex/human positive modern fable and identification with its story crossing all gender and sexual orientation lines. The film hopes it will help empower the TS Dating Movement that calls for more acceptance of transgender people in both day to day life and in romantic situations.
BOY MEETS GIRL lead actors Michael Welch and Michael Galante will participate in Q&A’s at the NoHo after the 7:10 PM screenings on Friday and Saturday, February 27 and 28 and after the 4:30 screening on Sunday, March 1.

QUEEN & COUNTRY, John Boorman’s Lovely Sequel to HOPE AND GLORY,
The hilarious highlight of John Boorman’s HOPE AND GLORY (1987), nominated for five Oscars: 9-year-old Bill Rohan rejoices in the destruction of his school by an errant Luftwaffe bomb. QUEEN & COUNTRY picks up the story nearly a decade later as Bill (Boorman’s alter-ego) begins basic training in the early Fifties, during the Korean War. Bill (played by a charming Callum Turner) is joined by a trouble-making army mate, Percy (Caleb Landry Jones). They never get near Korea, but engage in a constant battle of wits with the Catch-22-worthy Sgt. Major Bradley — the brilliant David Thewlis. Richard E. Grant is their superior, the veddy, veddy, infinitely put-upon, aptly-named Major Cross. A superb ensemble cast limns a wonderfully funny and often moving depiction of a still-recovering postwar England. (Karen Cooper, Director, Film Forum)
We are very pleased to open Mr. Boorman’s QUEEN & COUNTRY on February 27 at the Royal, Playhouse and Town Center. The film has garnered very positive reviews, including a New York Times Critic’s Pick from A.O. Scott, in which he wrote “Mr. Boorman approaches his story in the relaxed and generous manner of a raconteur, charming the audience rather than pushing us through the machinery of a plot…[the film] doesn’t quite have the bittersweet intensity of its precursor. The terrible magic of the war is missing, and so is the heightened, wide-eyed perceptiveness of the child protagonist. A young man is a more pedestrian creature, and the ’50s a quieter decade. Bill’s family, the focus of much of the drama in “Hope and Glory,” is glimpsed here in a few lovely scenes. The update is welcome. And so is the portrait, fleeting yet precisely detailed, of Britain at a time of change. The overt manifestation of that change is the arrival of the sovereign who gives QUEEN & COUNTRY its title, and who inspires cynicism and patriotism in its characters. But as the young Elizabeth II takes the throne, you can feel the ground shifting, and a different Britain coming into view: the one that would give the world angry young playwrights, rock ’n’ roll bands and resourceful, iconoclastic filmmakers like John Boorman.”
