FOOD FOR CHANGE, BETHLEHEM
Thursday June 18 7:00 PM The Colonial Theatre, 2050 Main Street. Tickets $5. Food For Change is an 82 minute, feature-length documentary film focusing on food co-ops as a force for dynamic social and economic change in American culture. The movie tells the story of the cooperative movement in the U.S. through interviews, rare archival footage, and commentary by the filmmaker and social historians. This is the first film to examine the important historical role played by food co-ops, their pioneering quest for organic foods, and their current efforts to create regional food systems. Additionally, the film shows how the co-op movement strengthens communities where they are located, enhancing local economies and food security. The goal is to educate a wide national audience about the principles of cooperation with a focus on food. Enjoy free samples from local vendors before the film.

CLOUDS OF SILS MARIA AT THE COLONIAL, BETHLEHEM
Friday June 19 7:00 PM & Sunday June 21 - Tuesday June 23 7:30 PM and Wednesday June 24 5:30 PM is 2 for 1 buddy night. Maria Enders (Juliette Binoche) is an actress at the peak of her international career who is asked to perform in a revival of the play that made her famous twenty years earlier. Back then she played the role of Sigrid, an alluring young woman who disarms and eventually drives her boss Helena to suicide. Now she is being asked to step into the other role, that of the older Helena. She departs with her assistant (Kristen Stewart) to rehearse in Sils Maria, a remote region of the Alps. A young Hollywood starlet with a penchant for scandal (Chloë Grace Moretz) is to take on the role of Sigrid, and Maria finds herself on the other side of the mirror, face to face with an ambiguously charming woman who is, in essence, an unsettling reflection of herself.  Also: Wild Tales, Friday 9:15 PM and Sunday 2:30 PM.
