Cincinnati World Cinema – Women on the Edge

June 11, 2021 - June 13, 2021

$10 – $16

Friday, June 11 through Sunday, June 13 at the Garfield
Also online in the CWC Virtual Cinema
NINA WU  
103 min, Taiwan/Myanmar, R, in Mandarin with English subs.
THE COLUMNIST  85 min, The Netherlands, R, in Dutch with English subs.

We’re proud to present two unusual international films offering the stories of two very different women pushed over the edge by toxic environments affecting not only their careers, but their dignity, sanity and safety.

The over-the-top treatment in THE COLUMNIST, set in the realm of social media and publishing, provides a subversively comedic take on a person who goes too far in pursuit of retribution. As its Cannes and NYT Critic’s Pick credentials suggest, NINA WU is a more serious work, a searing indictment of systemic exploitation in the film industry.

The underlying theme is exploitation and both films examine the ways these women try to understand and deal with their experiences as they become immersed in stressful situations. Both offer ample ground for post-film discussion.

The weekend screenings open with NINA WUFriday June 11 at 7 pm, which repeats on Saturday June 12 at 4 pm. THE COLUMNIST screens Saturday June 12 at 7 pm and repeats on Sunday June 13 at 4 pm. Single tickets are $10 for all screenings, with a discount $16 double-bill option on Saturday. Trailers, details, dates/times and tickets:

Thank you to everyone who attended the first five weekends at the reopened Garfield Theatre, and welcome to the new virtual viewers who’ve joined the CWC film family. Double-thanks to all who thoughtfully added to the Tip Jar when ordering – it really helps! We will continue the hybrid approach with in-person screenings at the Garfield and online screenings via our Virtual Cinema.

With the Ohio vaccination rate at 39%, CWC will not abolish safety measures just yet but will adjust as things improve. For June, we have increased Garfield capacity from 25% to 50% using two-seat in-row distancing with seats available in every row, staggered when possible.

As most ticket purchases are pairs sprinkled with singles, actually capacity will likely be closer to 40%. We do request that in-person attendees have completed the vaccine process and also request the use of masks in common areas. While Ohio is jumping into high gear full-open, we will continue to keep patron comfort level and safety as our top priority.

Thanks again & see you soon,
Tim
