Movies are back at Capilano Library! On January 23, join us for a screening of In the Heights.
A welcome bit of summer exuberance during January! Lights up on Washington Heights, NYC where the scent of a cafecito caliente hangs in the air just outside of the 181st Street subway stop, where a kaleidoscope of dreams rallies this vibrant and tight-knit community. At the intersection of it all is the likable, magnetic young bodega owner Usnavi (Anthony Ramos), who saves every penny from his daily grind as he hopes, imagines and sings about a better life. "In the Heights" fuses Hamilton’s Lin-Manuel Miranda's kinetic music and lyrics with Crazy Rich Asians director Jon M. Chu's lively and authentic eye for storytelling to capture a world very much of its place, but universal in its experience.

Movies are back at Capilano Library! On February 8, join us for a screening of Nomadland.
Nomadland is writer-director Chloé Zhao's intimate drama starring Frances McDormand as Fern, an unemployed widow who joins a growing movement of older adults who live out of cars, vans, and RVs and do seasonal work across the country. It has mature themes about loneliness, financial instability, and restlessness, but it's also uplifting and hopeful. There's a beauty in the traveling and a sense that hard work should be valued, whatever that work might look like. Winner of three Academy Awards including Best Picture, Best Leading Actress, Best Director.
