ROOM

Room is the entire world to five-year-old Jack, but for his Ma it’s a prison, one from which she’s desperate to free her child, whatever the cost. Stellar performances from Jacob Tremblay and Brie Larson are the emotional engine behind this riveting adaptation of the best-selling novel by Emma Donoghue. Ireland 2015, 118 min Director Lenny Abrahamson

OUR SPOTLIGHT PROGRAM will feature an onstage conversation with Brie Larson, a screening of Room, and the presentation of the MVFF Award in recognition of courageous work in a career-changing role. Join us after the program for a celebratory reception at Green Chile Kitchen in San Rafael.
