The following two movies will be playing this week at OFS:


The Fall (Oct. 4-Oct. 9):

From OFS: "The Fall won a prestigious award at The Berlin International Film Festivall ast year. In Los Angeles, circa 1915, a silent movie stunt man has his legs paralyzed while performing a stunt. He convalesces in a half-deserted hospital, its corridors of cream and lime stretching from ward to ward of mostly empty beds, their pillows and sheets awaiting the harvest of World War I. The stunt man is Roy (Lee Pace), pleasant in appearance, confiding in speech, happy to make a new friend of a little girl named Alexandria Roy tells a story to Alexandria, involving adventurers who change appearance as quickly as a child's imagination can do its work."


Frozen River (Oct. 4-Oct. 9):

From imdb: "Takes place in the days before Christmas near a little-known border crossing on the Mohawk reservation between New York State and Quebec. Here, the lure of fast money from smuggling presents a daily challenge to single moms who would otherwise be earning minimum wage. Two women - one white, one Mohawk, both single mothers faced with desperate circumstances - are drawn into the world of border smuggling across the frozen water of the St. Lawrence River. Ray and Lila... and the New York State Trooper who ultimately brings the two to justice."
