Surfing, bank heists, and adrenaline. Kathryn Bigelow's '91 masterpiece is the ultimate action classic. We can’t wait to bring it back to the big screen - and to celebrate its 35th anniversary with a 4K screening!

Beyond iconic chase scenes, Johnny Utah and Bodhi’s high-stakes world of surfing, skydiving and robbing banks opens up a look into the science of risky behavior - the perfect setup for our next Science On Screen.

POINT BREAK follows a presentation from Dr. Natale Sciolino, Assistant Professor of Physiology & Neurobiology at the University of Connecticut.

This weekend, Real Art Ways' Eye on Video high school apprentices will be busy bringing their stories to life.

After six weeks of watching films, discussing themes, plot, and character development, learning lighting techniques, getting familiar with equipment, and exchanging feedback on their scripts, they'll produce short films and assemble rough cuts to prepare for screening their projects on the big screen.

Many thanks to Sophie Morganstern, Hailey Madramootoo, TJ Noel-Sullivan, Eitan Ehrlich, and assistant teaching artists from The Hartford Film Company for guiding the students on their creative journeys.

The summer showcase is among our staff's favorite events each year. Save the date - we hope you'll join us!
