| Montpelier | 6:30 p.m. | Film: My Architect — March 29th - April 1st Louis Kahn was one of the great 20th century architects, whose work includes the Salk Institute in La Jolla and his most ambitious achievement, the capital of Bangladesh in Dacca. When Louis Kahn died of a heart attack in 1976, he had already been a mostly absent father to 11-year-old Nathaniel, whose mother was one of Louis Kahn's two long-time secret partners. In Kahn's obituary in the New York Times, there was no mention of Nathaniel, his mother, or Kahn's other secret family. In this film, recently nominated for the Best Documentary Oscar, Nathaniel Kahn attempts to uncover and understand the mystery and complexity of Louis Kahn as both a father and an artist.

| St. Johnsbury | 7:00 p.m. | Film: House of Sand and Fog — March 26th - April 1st Ben Kingsley and Jennifer Connelly star in this powerful drama as two people fighting over the same house. Connelly is Kathy, a troubled young woman struggling with addiction and her husband's departure. Lost in her funk, she fails to check her mail, which includes letters threatening to evict her. After she is thrown out of the house she grew up in — wrongly, it turns out, so she seeks legal representation — Massoud Amir Behrani (Kingsley) buys the property at auction with the goal of selling it at a huge profit so his family can live a better life. Behrani, a former colonel in the Iranian army, is determined to make his family's move to the United States a successful one — nothing matters more to him than his wife and son's well-being. But when he sees Kathy sleeping in a car outside his fence, he knows he is in for a fight. 126 minutes. Rated R. Location: Catamount Arts Center, 139 Eastern Avenue. catamountarts@charter.net, 748-2600, (888) 757-5559. | |
