ABOUT THE FILMS: THE FIRE INSIDE, 2024, Dir. Rachel Morrison, 109 Mins, Amazon Studios, USA A rousing and emotional directorial debut from Academy Award nominated cinematographer Rachel Morrison with a screenplay by Academy Award winner Barry Jenkins, THE FIRE INSIDE follows the story of Claressa “T-Rex” Shields (Ryan Destiny), one of the greatest female boxers of all time. Aided by her passionate long-time coach (Academy Award nominee Brian Tyree Henry), Shields — a high school Junior from Flint, Michigan — pushes past countless limitations to become the first American woman to win an Olympic gold medal in boxing. But even at the pinnacle of success, she has to reckon with the fact that not all dreams are created equal, and the real fight has only just begun. FORMAT: DCP FRUITVALE STATION, 2013, Dir. Ryan Coogler, 85 Mins, Lionsgate, USA A 22-year-old Bay Area resident who wakes up on New Year’s Eve, 2008, and decides to get a head start on his resolutions: being a better son to his mother, being a better partner to his girlfriend, and being a better father to T, their beautiful 4-year-old daughter. He starts out well, but as the day goes on, realizes that change will not come easy. As Oscar crosses paths with friends, family and strangers, we see that there is much more to him than meets the eye. But it is his final encounter of the day with police officers at the Fruitvale BART station that will shake the Bay Area to its very core, causing the entire nation to witness the story and tragic death of Oscar Grant. FORMAT: 35mm
