In a program held in collaboration with Azubuike African American Council for the Arts and in conjunction with the venue's current exhibition Art & Activism at Tougaloo College, the hour-long documentary Standing Strong: Elizabeth Catlett will enjoy a November 9 screening at Davenport's Figge Art Museum, the Mid-America Emmy-nominated film highlighting the story of its titular artist and activist.

It's routinely said that what matters isn't the actual length of a movie, but rather how long a movie feels. Killers of the Flower Moon, Martin Scorsese's genre-blending tale of systemic murder set in early-20th-century Oklahoma, runs just slightly under three-and-a-half hours. Unlike Scorsese's 2019 The Irishman, however, which lasted about five minutes longer, his latest epic crime drama feels like three-and-a-half hours.

Presented as a partnership with the Davenport Civil Rights Commission, the October 28 screening of An Infantryman from Hero Street will find local Emmy Award-winning filmmakers Kelly and Tammy Rundle of Fourth Wall Films sharing their moving new documentary with patrons at the Davenport Public Library's Eastern Avenue branch, this fourth work in the Hero Street series followed by a question-and-answer session with the area talents.

Lauded by The Observer as an "unabashedly feel-good memoir" and by The Digital Fix as "a brilliantly performed, delicately written family drama that is a delight to watch," writer/director Kenneth Branagh's Belfast serves as the fourth offering in the Bettendorf Public Library's Global Gathering Ireland film series, the October 25 screening treating audiences to a crowd-pleasing critical hit that earned seven 2021 Academy Award nominations and won for Branagh's original screenplay.
