Due to technical difficulties in January, we have rescheduled our screening of Nikita for June 6. All tickets to the January event will be honored, and new registrations are encouraged!

Convicted felon Nikita (Anne Parillaud), instead of going to jail, is given a new identity and trained to be a secret police assassin controlled by the government. Her lonely life is warmed when she falls in love with a man who knows nothing of her mysterious life.

Join us in Spring 2021 for a series on the French film movement of the 1980s and ‘90s known as the Cinéma du Look. These films were groundbreaking and shocking in their combination of European art film sensibilities, comic book visuals, Hollywood spectacle, and youthful rebellion.

We will be screening and discussing five seminal films of the movement over Zoom.

These events are a fundraiser for New Wave Productions and your tax-deductible donation is critical to our success in 2021. Members-only pricing available to members of both New Wave Productions and the South Orange Performing Arts Center. Learn more about our membership for 2021.

While a serum that can treat the disease has been formulated, it's been locked away in an inaccessible government building. A woman hires a man to steal the serum.
