“You won't find a more sensitively rendered, evocative, or surprising coming-of-age film than Barry Jenkins's Moonlight.” Join Lance to explore tonight’s screening, Moonlight, the movie that beat out LaLa Land for the 2016 best picture. See you in the film lounge at 8!
“The layers of dissembling and self-dissembling pile up so thickly that not only does Na evidently touch on something integral about the nature of evil, but actually seems to be in the process of summoning it before your eyes.” Stop by the film lounge to see The Wailing at 8!
“Brazil is a stinging, Strangelovian satire of the power of the bureaucracy in an Orwellian landscape.” Stop by the film lounge at 8 to see Brazil, this week’s dysfunction screening and according to “time out” magazine, the 24th best British film ever.
“A prize '60s artifact, Michelangelo Antonioni's what-is-truth? meditation on Swinging London is a movie to appreciate -- if not ponder.” Stop by the film lounge at 8 for this week’s on screen/off screen screening!
Reminder that our first for-credit “excursion” is happening in the film lounge tonight at 8 pm! We will be screening the new release, Candyman. Pizza provided for those who attend!
“With its juxtaposition of blazing nighttime highwayscapes and the flat Nebraska skyline, [the film] manages to evoke both a life spent in aimless forward motion and the stifling boredom Brandon was so desperate to escape.” Stop by the film lounge at 8 PM for Boys don’t Cry!
“It's one of those films where you feel the authority right away: This movie knows its characters, knows its story, and knows exactly how it wants to tell us about them.” Stop by the film lounge at 8 PM for this week’s noir, Thief!
“You cannot watch the film without feeling kinship with the characters and admitting their decency as well as their mistakes.” Join Cole in the film lounge at 8 for A Separation, a movie about the tension, grief, and anxiety of divorce.
“The sheer jouissance of Vertov's experimentation in a film defined by odd angles, jump cuts, split screens, and... playful montage, might alone propel Man with a Movie Camera onto greatest film ever lists.” Stop by the film lounge at 8 for the iconic Man with a Movie Camera!
In Gregory early and looking for something to do tonight? Check out the coming-of-age classic Ferris Bueller's Day Off at 8PM in our film lounge!
Congrats to all our Gregory seniors, and happy end-of-the-academic-year to all other Gregory residents as well! It's been our pleasure having you here! We hope you have an excellent summer :)

For the eighth (and possibly final) installment of our Come See Philadelphia! Series, we went to Wissahickon Valley Park for a 7 mi. hike to the Devil’s Pool and the mysterious Cave of Kelpius.
