For A Few Dollars More - Free Screening at Cosford Cinema
View Sergio Leone's 1965 Spaghetti Western "For a Few Dollars More" at Cosford Cinema, part of a special Saturday series celebrating the work of visionary filmmaker Sergio Leone and his legendary Dollars Trilogy: A Fistful of Dollars (1964), For a Few Dollars More (1965), and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966). With these films, Leone reinvented the Western. Drawing inspiration from Hollywood traditions while sharply critiquing American mythology, the trilogy strips away the genre's romantic heroism and replaces it with a stark, morally ambiguous world defined by greed, violence, and survival. The result helped launch the "Spaghetti Western" and forever changed the landscape of the genre. This spring, experience the entire trilogy on the big screen as it was meant to be seen, presented in stunning 4K. This series is made possible thanks to the generous support of the Norton Herrick Center for Motion Picture Studies at the University of Miami. Get details online.

Inspired by her courage and strength, a new generation pushes for stronger women-centered healthcare at the foot of an active volcano. The Last Partera is a feature documentary film that follows Miriam Elizondo’s final years. Our story captures a portrait of her life and legacy while also looking at the changing face of women’s rights and health. Doña Miriam’s influence spans far and wide, with her own descendants visiting her, as well as nurse-midwife and mentee Rebecca Turecky helping spread her legacy through communities of midwives, doulas and students from around the world. The honorable and respected Doña Miriam, however, is no saint. While she blesses the mothers with a Catholic sign of the cross, she also teases her proteges, doles out sexual advice as a centenarian, and jokes about her own death. Doña Miriam is as human as she is divine. Get details online.
