OPENING NIGHT TONIGHT! Join us for Xander Robin’s THE PYTHON HUNT, winner of a Grand Jury Award at SxSW 2025 and scheduled for release in 2026. See it now or wait a year!

Tickets include the Opening Night Reception afterwards.

THE PYTHON HUNT (91min) Dir. Xander Robin

Every year, the Florida government calls upon the general public to compete in an invasive python
removal contest in the Everglades in an attempt to save the threatened ecosystem. For ten grueling
nights, an eclectic group of amateur hunters confront the dangerous terrain, nocturnal creatures, and
their own desires. Meanwhile, one professional hunter leads the charge to undermine the competition,
questioning what hides beneath the python mania gripping the ‘glades.

Thu, Nov 6th, 7:00 PM @ Lynwood Theatre (Reception at Marketplace to follow)

DOCUMENTARY SHORTS! Journey into places and lives unknown to us with these four remarkable short films:

CAROL & JOY (39min) dir. Nathan Silver.
98-year-old Joy Kane, a music teacher and ex-dancer, shares stories and plays piano with her daughter Carol. Their afternoon together reveals artistic lives, family bonds, and their paths across two centuries.

HUNT’S TRADING POST (10min) Dir. Vee Hua (@hellomynameisvee)
Operated by a Navajo Nation citizen, Hunt’s Trading Post serves Native community in a majority-white town.

SAMLAND (20min) Dir. Grace Poppe (@poppe_productions_)
An artist presents the magical property he has been building and designing on Little Cranberry Island off the coast of MDI, Maine, for the past 20 years. The structures are a physical manifestation of those in his life. His property regularly serves as a celebratory gathering place for hundreds of locals. Sam conjures a blend of Willy Wonka and Mr. Rogers as he invites the audience along to experience the complicated process of harnessing grief into creation.

HOME FROM WORK (11min) Dir. Alex Fleming-McNeil, Michael Beuttler
In tourist towns across the United States, where housing is scarce, a growing number of workers have few options but to live in employer-provided housing. HOME FROM WORK follows two workers caught in this precarious limbo where losing a job could mean losing their home, and an employer grappling with his responsibility to his employees.

Fri, Nov 7th, 1:00 PM @ Bainbridge Performing Arts
Sun, Nov 9th, 4:00 PM @ Bainbridge Cinemas
