TICKETS
SYNOPSIS
Four-time Oscar-nominee Annette Bening is the breadwinner, starring alongside wife Julianne Moore in an unconventional family in The Kids Are All Right, while in NYAD, Bening is center-stage as Diana Nyad, attempting the impossible challenge of swimming from Cuba to Key West without a shark cage.

NYAD (1h 59m)
Dir. Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi & Jimmy Chin
Starring Annette Bening, Jodie Foster, Anne Marie Kempf
A remarkable true story of tenacity, friendship and the triumph of the human spirit, NYAD recounts a riveting chapter in the life of world-class athlete Diana Nyad. Three decades after giving up marathon swimming in exchange for a prominent career as a sports journalist, at the age of 60, Diana (four-time Academy Award nominee Annette Bening) becomes obsessed with completing an epic swim that always eluded her: the 110 mile trek from Cuba to Florida, often referred to as the “Mount Everest” of swims. Determined to become the first person to finish the swim without a shark cage, Diana goes on a thrilling, four-year journey with her best friend and coach Bonnie Stoll (two-time Academy Award winner Jodie Foster) and a dedicated sailing team.

The inspirational film marks the narrative directorial debut of Academy Award-winning documentary filmmakers Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin (Free Solo, The Rescue). NYAD is produced by Andrew Lazar, p.g.a. and Teddy Schwarzman, p.g.a. with a screenplay by Julia Cox, adapted from the memoir "Find a Way" by Diana Nyad.

THE KIDS ARE ALL RIGHT (1h 46m)
Dir. Lisa Cholodenko
Starring Julianne Moore, Annette Bening, Mark Ruffalo
Lesbian couple Nic and Jules have been together for twenty years, bringing up two children thanks to the contributions of an anonymous sperm donor. As 18-year-old daughter Joni prepares to leave for college, she and younger brother Laser get curious about their heritage. Making contact with Paul, the laid-back restaurateur whose sperm bank deposit helped bring them into the world, the two set off a chain reaction.
