five east front street and we're showing documentaries thursday night and friday night and saturday it will be live action and animation matinee screenings and then in the evening it's going to be a double dot org there are links to click on the show time for a link to the ticket in sight you can also take your chance at the box office some of the screening sellouts so you might want to double check first  but so far there's tickets available for everything and we really would like people to come out there also during the documentary screenings because it's a longer program there's a fifteen minute intermission and we're also just doing some cookies and and so the family has just always grown up in this war war zone and the father then actually gets taken by isis and so the mother say so with you know what to do with her four children and eventually they follow as them through trying to seek asylum in europe you know all the way to germany and it's just you know the kids in the beginning of the film are quite young i think the us and the others film set in syria is called white helmets and again just you're amazed by the courage of the filmmakers that is a story about civilian volunteers syrian  who volunteer to rush into the scenes of bombing to rescue people because there's just no one else who's there to do it and they are the first on the spot and the cameras are just right there you know at the bomb site following these these heroes and both of those films you know they're very tragic situations but there are these moments of hope and i think that's what's really amazing about the people that they're following that coast of turkey and the island of lesbos in greece and so this very treacherous you know four point one miles of water it follows a ship captain who patrols that that stretch of water  day after day having to rescue refugees who are trying to make their way over as you said on rickety boats and these are thousands and thousands of people you know all the time actually we do have a trailer for four point one persons in germany and there's a scene where his daughter actually asked him you know of all the things you needed after the war you were willing to train your car to cigarettes for violin there was that important to you and it was he  grown up with music and fortunately you know had to stop playing went to siberia working with camps and soon as the war was over he wanted a violin and this and then the story follows him now he's ninety one for people to donate instruments to public schools and he ends up donating his and the organizers of the drive decide that it should go to a school in the bronx bronx global  learning initiative and the school every student i think it's an all girl school every student learns to play the violin and it's part of their curriculum just like math or reading interesting and you know and the girls come from very poor part of the city and you know they thought it was very fitting that his violence should go there because these girls were survivors as well and i tell this great story i believe the girls twelve years old twelve or thirteen no one  they will not believe the story this gentleman just told  and so dealing with those really tough decisions as you said at the end of life whether but whether the family should you know sign to be have their loved one taken off life support and it's a decision that you know everyone enters to make very heavy hearts and very difficult and they often book so that they have to make this decision and they look to these doctors and the doctors have  think you're right you're right that's right hungary denmark spain france and switzerland so it's a it's a good variety good did you have any favorites in this category  the train tracks and so every morning and evening she waves there's a passing commuter train or a very fast train i think it goes from goes to france i believe  a note written by a man who says that he loves to love seeing her wave every day at him as he commutes and so they begin this correspondence and you know he starts throwing packages she you know she's sort of has this routine and she suddenly is kind of brought out of her to you know and you know finds a new life and it's the really sweet story and it's amazing that i think that it's based on something that actually to different shifts at a parking garage and i don't know how they figure out a way to communicate i don't they don't they're there they don't overlap in the right again i don't want to give too much away but  u the woman security guard has the day shift and another fellow has the night shift and they basically pass each morning at six a m and say you know basically just say hello and pass but then  slowly through the security cameras they also begin an interesting dialogue of swords though you get i don't want to give too much away but it's a really sweet film so it's interesting that the live action this  take pride in that every any kid who wants to join the choir can join the choir and so she joins the choir but finds herself a little disappointed  that's one of the nominees but we're going to show it at the very end so that the rest of the program suitable to ages eight and up and so that way there be there be a brief pause and a warning on screen and so parents can have their children leave that's that's an maybe we don't have time to talk about the rest of the animated films but we do want to make sure that you would peak the information about how to get tickets to
