Subsequent screenings include Luis Buรฑuel's surreal masterpiece and erotic drama "Belle de Jour" on June 9th. The latter half of the Deneuve cycle will be presented at the Summer Art-kino, featuring Franรงois Truffaut's romantic crime drama "The Mississippi Mermaid" on June 16th and Buรฑuel's psychological drama "Tristana" on June 23rd.

The Summer Art-kino, set to open in the courtyard of the Capuchin Monastery on June 11th, will present Giuseppe Tornatore's Italian classic "Cinema Paradiso." Other highlights include Mary Bronstein's surreal black comedy "If I Had Legs, I'd Kick You" and Annemarie Jacir's epic drama "Palestine '36," which delves into the Great Arab Revolt of 1936.
