VIRTUAL CINEMA at Tahoe Art Haus

February 8, 2021 - February 28, 2021

We sure miss being able to go to the Art Haus to see movies on the big screen but for now, there are some great movie options to view at home. Watching these movies will help support the Art Haus during the closure. The Art Haus receives half of all ticket sales. With the start of awards season, we will be featuring foreign film submissions to the Academy Awards and Golden Globe nominees.
Some Kind of Heaven cracks the manicured facade of The Villages, America’s largest retirement community – a massive, self-contained utopia located in Central Florida. Behind the gates of this palm tree-lined fantasyland, the documentary looks at the dreams and desires of a small group of Villages residents – and one interloper – who are unable to find happiness within the community’s pre-packaged paradise. From producers Darren Aronofsky (Requiem for a Dream, Black Swan) and the New York Times. $12, purchase HERE.
A prize-winner at the Venice Film Festival and Ukraine’s official selection for the 2021 Academy Awards, Atlantis is a sci-fi drama set in Eastern Ukraine in 2025. A desert unsuitable for human habitation. Water is a dear commodity brought by trucks. Sergiy, a former soldier, is having trouble adapting to his new reality. When he meets Katya, they try to return to some sort of normal life in which they are also allowed to fall in love again. $12, purchase HERE.
Daring and audacious, Softie Mwangi is one of Kenya’s most accomplished photojournalists. But when he faces not only corruption but death threats to his wife, Njeri, and their children, he must decide whether his ideals are worth his family’s safety. Is winning an election worth any price? As captured in director Sam Soko’s Sundance jury award-winning documentary, running for election could be Softie’s most difficult assignment yet. $12, purchase HERE.
COMING TO VIRTUAL CINEMA
Stray follows three stray dogs as they embark on inconspicuous journeys through Turkish society that allow us an unvarnished portrait of human life — and their own canine culture. The disparate lives of the three dogs intersect when they each form intimate bonds with a group of young Syrians who share the streets with them. Whether they lead us into bustling streets or decrepit ruins, the gaze of these strays acts as a window into the overlooked corners of society. Opens March 3.
This is the second year we will be hosting the Women’s Adventure Film Tour virtually. The film festival is a celebration of the inspiring women around us who are doing extraordinary things in the name of adventure. The film fest will feature nine short documentaries, including Connection, a highline project organized by passionate women all around the world, and Latitude, which follows four daring young women to the 79th parallel, under 700 miles from the North Pole to rediscover themselves amidst sailing, ice mountain climbs, and ski descents. Opens March 8.
The French film Two of Us was nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Foreign Language Film. Nina and Madeleine, two retired women, have been secretly in love for decades. From everybody’s point of view, they are simply neighbors living on the top floor of their building, until the day their relationship is turned upside down by an unexpected event leading Madeleine’s daughter to slowly unveil the truth about them.
