“Zhan gu: The Drummer"
Thursday, October 21, 7pm
Palos Park Library
Sid, the rebellious son of Kwan, a savage Hong Kong triad boss, escapes
to Taiwan upon enraging his father’s adversary, a powerful underground
business leader. Hiding out in the mountains, Sid encounters a group of
Zen drummers. Their mesmerizing art, rigorous training, and austere way
of life pique the hostile urban young man’s interest and he asks to join
the group. Although Sid despises his father, he is turning out to be a
younger version of him: wild and defiant. Immersion in the world of the
Zen drummers gradually converts him into a focused young man. Sid’s
independence from the triad life and his father is profoundly
challenged, however, when a twist of fate forces him to choose between
loyalty to his family and his new found faith in himself. Mandarin and
Cantonese dialogue with English subtitles; 115 minutes.

“Bikur ha-Tizmoret: The Band’s Visit”
Thursday, November 18, 7pm
Palos Park Library
The Alexandria Ceremonial Police Orchestra arrives in Israel from
Egypt for a cultural event. Once there, they find the expected
delegation is not there to meet them. Arrangements to get to their
destination of Petah Tiqva have not been taken care of either. They find
their own ride and arrive instead at the remote town of Beit Hatikva.
Stuck there until the next morning’s bus, the band, lead by the
repressed Tawfiq Zacharaya, gets help from the worldly lunch owner,
Dina, who offers to put them up for the night. As the band settles in
the best it can, each of the members attempts to get along with the
natives in their own way. What follows is a special night of quiet
happenings and confessions as the band makes its own impact on the town
and the town on them. Hebrew, Arabic and English dialogue with English
subtitles; 87 minutes. Sponsored by Palos Fine Arts.
