"Amsterdam," the latest film from acclaimed writer/director David O. Russell, is a fascinating and richly intricate tale that brilliantly weaves historical fact with fiction for a timely, cinematic experience. 20th Century Studios' and New Regency's original crime epic is about three close friends who find themselves at the center of one of the most shocking secret plots in American history.

AMSTERDAM - American Film Series at Cinema Super - Members Only

Next Film in the American Film Series at Cinema Super
April 20, 2023
Everything Everywhere All at Once. Winner of 7 Academy Awards.

With her laundromat teetering on the brink of failure and her marriage to wimpy husband Waymond on the rocks, overworked Evelyn Wang struggles to cope with everything, including tattered relationships with her judgmental father Gong Gong and her daughter Joy. She must also brace herself for an unpleasant meeting with an impersonal bureaucrat: Deirdre, the shabbily-dressed IRS auditor. However, as the stern agent loses patience, an inexplicable multiverse rift becomes an eye-opening exploration of parallel realities. Will Evelyn jump down the rabbit hole? How many stars are in the universe? Can weary Evelyn fathom the irrepressible force of possibilities, tap into newfound powers, and prevent an evil entity from destroying the thin, countless layers of the unseen world?

The Week Ahead - March 13-18

We encourage participants to practice at home and meet with others to play together outside of meetings.

ENGLISH is our working language. Meetings and songs are mostly in English.

We have a WhatsApp group, in English, where we share ukulele related announcements, songs and chord sheets.
