Pacific Rim
2025-03-25 21:00 - 23:00
35mm screening in celebration of National Evening of Science on Screen®!
Featuring a pre-film Science on Screen® presentation with Qiushi Fu, Assistant Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of Central Florida!
When Kaiju emerge from the Pacific Ocean, a war begins that will take millions of lives and consume humanity’s resources for years on end. To combat the giant monsters, a special type of weapon is devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two human pilots.
But in 2025, even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless Kaiju. On the verge of defeat, the forces defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes, a washed-up former pilot (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi). Together, they stand as mankind’s last hope against the mounting Armageddon.
With supporting turns from Idris Elba, Charlie Day, Ron Perlman, and more, Pacific Rim is a science fiction spectacle from the out-of-this-world visionary Guillermo del Toro.
Meet the speaker: Qiushi Fu is an Assistant Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of Central Florida. He received his Ph.D in Biomedical Engineering from Arizona State University in 2013. Dr. Fu’s research focuses on the neural control of movements with clinical applications targeting motor recovery with neurorehabilitation and assistive devices. In particular, he has led research projects that explored sensory feedback in neuroprostheses (funded by DAPRA), as well as research projects that investigate the neural mechanisms of bimanual coordination (funded by NIH).

The Addams Family:
In the film that put her on the pop culture map and cemented her as a 1990s goth-girl legend, Christina Ricci is the woeful Wednesday Addams, daughter of Gomez (Raul Julia) and Morticia (Angelica Huston) who leapt straight out of Charles Addams‘ cartoons to big screen superstardom. The titular Addams family live with all the trappings of the macabre (including a detached hand for a servant). But, when a man claiming to be Fester (Christopher Lloyd), Gomez’s missing brother, arrives at their home, Morticia suspects the man is a fraud because he can’t recall details of Fester’s life. When “Fester” manages to get the clan evicted from their home, Gomez finally realizes that he is conspiring to swindle them of their fortune.

Nominated for 2 Academy Awards®, including Best Supporting Actor (Dennis Hopper) and the Independent Spirit Award for Best First Feature (David Anspaugh, Rudy), join us in celebrating the life and legacy of one of America’s greatest actors (Gene Hackman) and the unofficial launch of the 2025 Florida Film Festival.

Now and Then:
In the summer of 1970, four childhood friends cement lifelong bonds while each dealing with their own personal challenges during a season of self-discovery. Roberta (Christina Ricci in a tough and touching performance), a tomboy with a tragic past, is still mourning her mother’s death. Samantha (Gaby Hoffmann, Transparent), who is shy and insecure, is dealing with her father’s constant absence. Teeny (Thora Birch, American Beauty) is obsessed with boys and dreams of a future as a famous actress, while Chrissy (Ashleigh Aston Moore)—the more sensible one—is grappling with body image issues and societal expectations. Together, they form a tight-knit group, supporting each other through their various dilemmas, including the mysterious death of a local boy that impacts them all. In the present day, the women are now adults (Rosie O’Donnell, Demi Moore, Melanie Griffith, and Rita Wilson), each having gone down a different path in life. When they come together to visit their childhood town for the birth of Chrissy’s first child, they reminisce about the time that defined their friendship and changed them forever. Often referred to as a teen-girl Stand by Me, and celebrating its 30th anniversary, this heartwarming ensemble piece directed by Academy Award®-nominee and 8-time Emmy-nominee Lesi Linka Glatter (Mad Men, Homeland) and written by I. Marlene King (Pretty Little Liars) is a nostalgic exploration of growing up and the lasting impact of childhood friendships.
The Florida Film Festival is honored to welcome newly minted Hollywood Walk of Fame recipient Christina Ricci in celebration of this wonderful film and her decades-long career. Following the film screening, Ms. Ricci will be present for a Q&A with the audience.

Be Kind Rewind:
In Passaic, NJ, Elroy Fletcher (Danny Glover) runs a video store in a condemned building he claims was the birthplace of jazz great Fats Waller. Fletcher goes on a Waller centennial trip, leaving his foster son Mike (Jack Black) in charge of the store. Mike’s peculiar friend Jerry (Yasiin Bey aka Mos Def) tries to sabotage a power station and nearly electrocutes himself, getting magnetized in the process – and inadvertently erasing every tape in the store.
Mike discovers the disaster and is further pressed when Fletcher’s acquaintance Miss Falewicz (Mia Farrow) wants to rent Ghostbusters. To prevent her from reporting a problem to Fletcher, Mike comes up with an idea: as Miss Falewicz has never seen the movie, he proposes to recreate the film with cheap special effects, using himself and Jerry as the actors and hoping to fool her. Soon their homemade versions of films develop a cult following. Will this new business save the store and the building?

An Evening with Mia Farrow, featuring Rosemary's Baby
2025-04-18 19:30 - 22:00
The Florida Film Festival is honored to welcome Ms. Farrow to Enzian Theater to celebrate her phenomenal career. Following the film screening, Ms. Farrow will be present for a Q&A with the audience.
This visiting artist event is presented through the kind generosity of Teresa Williams.
Rosemary’s Baby:
Rosemary Woodhouse (Mia Farrow in one of her most memorable roles), a young Catholic homemaker dreaming of starting a family, and Guy (John Cassavetes), her struggling actor husband, move into an imposing New York City building with a dark past. Surrounded by unsettling stories about mysterious residents and eerie occurrences, the new tenants befriend Roman and Minnie Castevet (Ruth Gordon in an Academy Award® winning performance), their amiable next-door neighbors. Shortly after, Rosemary gets pregnant and at last, things are looking up. However, as alarming hints of a sinister conspiracy emerge, suspicion and mental anguish get the best of her. Undoubtedly, the inexperienced mother-to-be is overreacting; no one wants to cut Rosemary off from her circle of friends. Then again, why is everyone so conveniently eager to help? And above all else, why is Guy allowing it?
Mia Farrow:
Mia Farrow has been called an icon of her generation. The first U.S. actress to be accepted as a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company, she appeared on the first-ever cover of People Magazine. Born to director John Farrow (Around the World in 80 Days) and actress Maureen O’Sullivan (Tarzan the Ape Man), over her 60-year career she has been nominated for nine Golden Globes and three BAFTA awards, appeared in culturally-defining projects from TV’s Peyton Place and Rosemary’s Baby to The Great Gatsby (opposite Robert Redford), Robert Altman’s A Wedding, and legendary roles in Hannah and Her Sisters and Crimes and Misdemeanors, up to her most recent turn as Pearl Winslow on the Netflix series The Watcher.

Decasia (with Bill Morrison Q&A)
2025-04-23 18:00 - 19:00
All free La CinOMAthéque screenings will take place in the Truist Auditorium at the Orlando Museum of Art.
ACCESS FOR ALL AT OMA presents:
La CinOMAthéque: A collaboration between OMA and Enzian, with generous support provided by the Art Bridges Foundation’s Access for All program.
The Orlando Museum of Art is thrilled to announce the launch of La CinOMAthéque in partnership with the Enzian Theater, as part of its “Access for All at OMA,” an all-new program offering FREE admission to the museum!
Access for All at OMA is a monthly free day dedicated to the community. La CinOMAthéque will be a series of 6 bimonthly free screenings of experimental, avant-garde, art films in the Truist auditorium at OMA on Access for All day.
Each screening will be introduced by a UCF film professor and include a talkback with OMA Chief Curator Coralie Claeysen-Gleyzon and Enzian Programming Manager Tim Anderson.

Decasia:
Director Bill Morrison will join us for a Zoom Q&A following the film!
Academy Award®-nominee Bill Morrison’s (“Incident”, Dawson City: Frozen Time) Decasia is an artful collage of found archival footage, all of it shot pre-1950 on a cellulose nitrate base and most of it in advanced stages of decay. The footage is slowed to allow a greater appreciation of the effect and character of the visual damage to the original materials, which include everything from fragments of silent melodramas to ethnographic studies, travelogues, newsreel footage and wildlife documentaries. The material is edited to a modernist symphonic score by Michael Gordon; the aural dissonance complements the visual decay.

Pee-wee's Big Adventure
2025-04-27 12:00 - 14:00
40th Anniversary! Free for kids 12 & under!
Celebrating 40-years of Enzian Theater, each month we will highlight a classic film from 1985 to illustrate the lasting impact of the films of the era and the legacy of Central Florida’s only non-profit arthouse movie theater. Thank you for being part of our 4-decade contribution to arts culture in Orlando.
Pee-wee Herman (Paul Reubens), an eccentric child-like man, loves his red bicycle and will not sell it to his envious neighbor, Francis (Mark Holton). While Pee-wee visits his friend Dottie (Elizabeth Daily), the bike is stolen. Thinking his bike is at the Alamo, Pee-wee sets off on a trip, where he meets many remarkable people, including waitress Simone (Diane Salinger) and a motorcycle gang. Eventually, Pee-wee discovers that his bike is being used in a movie and tries to recover it.

The Timekeepers of Eternity
2025-05-02 23:59
Welcome to your new favorite Stephen King adaptation. A found footage appropriation from filmmaker Aristotelis Maragkos, The Timekeepers of Eternity was meticulously crafted by creating a new edit of King’s TV mini-series The Langoliers, printing each frame to paper, then animating it all into a brand new creature feature.
But there’s a method to the madness. In The Langoliers, Mr. Toomey (played by an unhinged Bronson Pinchot) obsessively tears paper to overcome the traumatic events—and literal monsters—of his childhood. In “Timekeepers”, the tears and creases of photocopied paper transform into a living collage where the filmmaker and protagonist slowly merge with a common goal: to make sense of the paper nightmare.

Dogville
2025-05-04 11:00 - 14:00
Shot on a soundstage with chalk mark subbing for actual walls, Danish filmmaker Lars von Trier’s Brechtian lament to a country he’s never visited is a formally audacious journey through the heart of small-town America via its chief protagonist Grace Mulligan (Nicole Kidman) who, in hiding from her criminal father (James Caan), is taken in by the residents of a Colorado town. But as a search party grows nearer and the perceived threat over the town grows larger, the ennui grows and the citizens of Dogville begin to show their teeth.
In challenging America’s vision of itself as a haven for asylum seekers and fostering of community, von Trier — ever cinema’s sneering court jester — utilizes a stacked cast to torch such notions. An exasperating tome or a standing masterpiece of the Aughts, DOGVILLE is ready for its reevaluation.
Co-starring Paul Bettany, Lauren Bacall, Patricia Clarkson, Philip Baker Hall, Ben Gazzara, John Hurt and Stellan Skarsgård, Dogville might be the most audacious film in von Trier’s notorious decades-long career as a maverick provocateur.

“All I’m saying is that if I ever start referring to these as the best years of my life – remind me to kill myself.” – Randall “Pink” Floyd
It’s May 28, 1976, the last day of the year at Robert E. Lee High School. Kids are skipping class, smoking weed, and thinking about the big keg party at Kevin Pickford’s (Shawn Andrews) house. High on the mind of star football quarterback Randall “Pink” Floyd (Jason London) is the pledge the coach wants all the returning players to sign, vowing that they won’t do drugs or drink during the summer break. Pink is the only player who is holding out because he feels it infringes upon his individual rights. It’s also the traditional hazing day, where seniors traumatize incoming freshmen, among them Mitch Kramer (Wiley Wiggins). As day turns into night and as the keg party doesn’t end up quite as planned, we follow these teens on a course that might just redefine who they are, and who they will end up becoming. Like American Graffiti and Fast Times at Ridgemont High, 5-time Academy Award® nominee Richard Linklater’s (Boyhood, Before Sunrise) love letter to growing up in Central Texas in the 1970s is iconic for is soon-to-be-all-star cast including Matthew McConaughey, Milla Jovovich, Ben Afflack, Parker Posey, Cole Hauser, Joey Lauren Adams, Anthony Rapp, Adam Goldberg, Rory Cochrane, Renee Zellweger and many others.
Come out and celebrate as we welcome Jason London to Enzian to discuss this seminal coming of age film and his decades-long career.

Despite both being heterosexual, she and her best friend, Sophie (Mickey Sumner), who went to college together at Vassar, consider themselves to be like an old, married, lesbian couple who don’t have sex with each other. Frances stumbles from one situation to another, both in her professional and personal lives, with her expectations and her abilities not always matching each other. In some respects, she stays true to her slightly off-kilter visions without understanding that she doesn’t have the abilities to meet those visions. In other respects, she sells herself short, as when she and a male friend, Benji, kid each other that they are both undateable, while deep in their hearts they wouldn’t mind dating each other. One thing that Frances does realize is that she has to work to survive in expensive New York, since she is unable to rely on her parents for financial support. The question then becomes if Frances will be able to find balance for her life in New York.
Co-written by Gerwig, directed by 4-time Oscar-nominee Noah Baumbach (The Squid and the Whale) and featuring brilliant supporting turns by Oscar®-nominee Adam Driver and Grace Gummer (Mr. Robot), this award-winning indie homage to French New Wave cinema is often cited as the film that broke Gerwig into the Hollywood mainstream.

The Other Side of the Underneath
2025-06-01 12:00 - 14:00
New 2K restoration by the British Film Institute!
Adapting her play “A New Communion for Freaks, Prophets and Witches”, feminist and radical theatre icon Jane Arden assembles her all-female theatre troupe for a violent descent into the mind of a young woman labelled schizophrenic.
Composed of different episodes brimming with psychoanalytic symbols and raw, shocking, heartbreaking footage, each segment becomes the metaphorical backdrop for the creator’s reflections on self-exploration, repressed guilt, sexual deprivation, freedom of expression, emotional breakdown and the “other side” underneath. The film is harrowing, nightmarish exploration of reason, chaos and Arden’s own battles with mental illness that’s unlike anything audiences have seen before or since.
Sheila Allen (Children of the Damned), Ann Lynn (A Shot in the Dark), renowned visual artist Penny Slinger, and Arden herself star in the only British feature film of the 1970s directed solely by a woman.

Welcome to a time where Empire-waisted wit is sharp, and love is found in the most unexpected of places! Where the art of conversation is as important as the plot itself—often more so—and the pursuit of happiness is a delicate dance of propriety and passion. With our special “A Year with Austen” series, you can sit back, sip your tea, and enjoy a romp through a pastoral landscape, where everyone may be too proud or too prejudiced, but they’re always too fabulous to resist!
Persuasion:

With their roles reversed and Captain Wentworth the eligible and wealthy bachelor, Anne navigates the scheming society that still tries to keep them apart in this lavish and sweeping romance from director Roger Michell (Notting Hill) and screenwriter Nick Dear (National Theater Live: Frankenstein).

Vampyros Lesbos:
Includes a special introduction by Nicole Richter, PhD, author of “Bisexual Erasure in ‘Lesbian Vampire’ Film Theory.” In partnership with Dyke Nite Orlando.
In a career that spanned 57 years and over 200 films, the Vatican once called Spanish exploitation maverick Jesus ‘Jess” Franco “the most dangerous director in the world”. This, his retelling of the “Dracula’s Guest” story has gained a following over the decades via its erotic flights of surreal imagery, psychedelic soundtrack, and iconic performance by Franco muse Soledad Miranda as the Countess and has been often cited (and programmed along with Jean Rollin) as a controversial but still recognizable foundational work of early queer cinema.
Ewa Strömberg (She Killed in Ecstasy) stars as Linda, a woman with recurring dreams about a woman seducing her. When Linda’s sent to an island off the coast of Istanbul, she meets the very Countess of those dreams. After quickly falling under the woman’s spell, Linda finds she’s not the only one with an obsession for the Countess. With a thin plot to roll with, Franco creates dazzling scenes of arty softcore bliss infused with psycho-sexedelic tunes.
Freaky Fridays ticket prices include a free popcorn and soda or lemonade for all attendees! Alcohol can be purchased at Eden Bar. Regular food service will not be available for Freaky Friday events. So, come early, and fuel up outside for the night ahead!

Enzian Film Club: Summer School Edition
Summer school is in session! Our Enzian Film Club professors are on a well-deserved vacation, but you’ve still got a lot to learn. Join us June–August for screenings and talkbacks with Enzian programmers and community guests, and keep your brain (or at least your social skills) sharp until our return to class in September. It might not be Driver’s Ed, but it’s better than independent study.

Feat. a post-film “Enzian Film Club” discussion with GLAAD Media Award recipient Barry Sandler!
Stephen Frears (Dangerous Liaisons, The Queen) was at the forefront of the British cinematic revival of the mid-1980s, and the delightfully transgressive My Beautiful Laundrette is his greatest triumph of the period. Working from an Oscar®-nominated script by Hanif Kureishi, who was soon to be an internationally renowned writer, Frears tells an uncommon love story that takes place between a young South London Pakistani man (Gordon Warnecke), who decides to open an upscale laundromat to make his family proud, and his childhood friend, a street punk (3-time Academy® Award winner Daniel Day-Lewis, in his breakthrough role) who volunteers to help make his dream a reality. This culture-clash comedy is also a subversive work of social realism that dares to address racism, homophobia, and sociopolitical marginalization in Margaret Thatcher’s England.
About Barry Sandler:
Barry Sandler (Crimes of Passion, The Other Side of Midnight) is a pioneering screenwriter best known for Making Love (1982), the first major studio film to depict LGBTQIA+ characters positively. The film was recently honored with a 40th anniversary celebration by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. In 2002, The Advocate named him one of America’s most influential gay artists. Since 2003, he has taught screenwriting and film history at the University of Central Florida. Sandler’s work has also earned numerous honors, including the GLAAD Media Award and the Outfest Gay Pioneer Award.
