Les vacances de Monsieur Hulot, Jacques Tati (18h)
France, 1953, 83′
Jacques Tati is one of those incomparable names when it comes to cinema. This film is among his most brilliant gems; it is here that Mr. Hulot is born. The master of comedy brings him into the world and immediately places him in the most sandy of settings: a seaside resort where the character proceeds to spread chaos. Holidays always demand their share of mishaps.
Barbarella, Roger Vadim (21h)
France / Italy, 1968, 98′
The cosmos needs Barbarella. Always in revealing outfits, the futuristic heroine sets out on a mission to defeat a villain. But much happens before she gets there. A science-fiction classic by Roger Vadim, the film stands as an important milestone in the careers of both Jane Fonda and the director himself. It’s time to watch it — or revisit it — with your feet in the water.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail, de Terry Gilliam e Terry Jones (20h30)
United Kingdom, 1975, 92′
The years go by, but Monty Python endure. It’s never too often to return to the most iconic comic sextet in British history. And, being the good Britons they are, in 1975 they turned their attention to the legend of King Arthur and the quest for the Holy Grail. One of those comedy classics that goes well with just about anything. The film is directed by Terry Gilliam and Terry Jones.
IndieJúnior at the Pool
On Saturday afternoon, May 2, and on Sunday morning and afternoon, May 3, the program will feature a selection of short films from the IndieJúnior lineup, aimed at children ages 6 and up and families.
