SUMMARY:CLOSING NIGHT - GIVE ME THE BALL!
DESCRIPTION:GET TICKETS\nCLOSING NIGHT\n7:30PM BIFF presents the closing night film and Sundance smash hit GIVE ME THE BALL!  \nDirector Elizabeth Wolff in attendancefor Q&A with board member Mary Mott. \n(Open to ALL passholders and ticket holders.) \nClosing Night Party at Number Ten following the screening. \n______________ \nGive Me the Ball!\n2026 | 102 min. | US \nBillie Jean King is a global icon whose impact on tennis and equality resonates around the world. But the personal turmoil behind this transformational figure has in many ways remained hidden from view. \nIn GIVE ME THE BALL!\, we come to understand the sacrifices King was forced to make behind the scenes\, even as she fought high-profile battles for the professionalization of her sport and equal treatment for women. From struggling to escape an unhappy marriage and hiding her sexual orientation to facing an eating disorder and staring down misogyny at every turn\, her march to triumph was a long and often lonely one. This is a woman whose saga cuts deeper than her victory in the “Battle of the Sexes” showdown\, and the film showcases King like the persistent fighter she was forced to be. \nThrough a trove of rarely seen archival material and powerfully honest interviews with King\, this film explores the depths of agony she endured so that others might follow a less painful path. It is the story of selflessness\, struggle\, and triumph that shines an unforgettable light on a figure who is widely admired but\, until now\, never properly understood. \nEast Coast Premiere Filmmaker in Attendance \nDirectors // Liz Garbus\, Elizabeth Wolff\nCast // Billie Jean King\, Chris Evert\, Elton John\, Serena Williams

SUMMARY:TEA TALK- HARLAN COUNTY USA
DESCRIPTION:GET TICKETS\nTEA TALK \nSpecial 50th Anniversary screening of the Academy Award-Winning Documentary\nHARLAN COUNTY USA\n1976 | 103 minutes | US \nJoin us as we celebrate the 50th anniversary of HARLAN COUNTY USA. We’ll screen this heartbreaking record of the thirteen-month struggle between a community fighting to survive and a corporation dedicated to the bottom line that won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature. \nAcademy Award winning director and producer Barbara Kopple will be in conversation with Mary Mott following the screening. \n \nBarbara Kopple \nWith a career spanning more than fifty years\, Barbara Kopple long ago established herself as one of the most prolific and award-winning American filmmakers of her generation\, with well over thirty films.  Although she is best known for her documentary work\, her projects have ranged from labor union documentaries to fictional feature films and an educational series for kids. She is credited with pioneering a renaissance in cinema verité and is the recipient of two Academy Awards in documentary filmmaking for HARLAN COUNTY USA and AMERICAN DREAM\, and six Emmy awards. Barbara’s latest project GUMBO COALITION is about two Black and Latinx civil rights champions. In 2023\, she received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences – just one of the many awards she has been given across her career. She founded and oversees Cabin Creek Films\, which was created in 1972 in NYC. When questioned about her documentary work\, Barbara will inevitably say\,\n“it’s all just stories”. \n \n
