5:00 pm daily - 36 HOURS, Adam Sekuler’s documentary depicts the process – and challenging decisions involved in – giving birth. Angelle – the protagonist of 36 HOURS – rides the waves of emotion and physical pain without pharmaceutical intervention as she, along with her partner Nathan and her mother, try to follow a natural birth plan. As her contractions get heavier, though, Angelle gets caught in the undertow of time. Her birth is taking much longer than expected. Her preconceived notions of birth shattered, Angelle must make difficult decisions, bringing into focus the true work of motherhood and womanhood.
7:00 pm daily - DESOLATION CENTER, the story of a series of ground-breaking early 80s music concerts in the desert outside Los Angeles that were the inspiration for modern day behemoths Coachella, Burning Man and Lollapalooza.

8:45 pm nightly -MEMORY: THE ORIGINS OF ALIEN, In the spirit of Room 237, MEMORY: THE ORIGINS OF ALIEN doesn't just unearth the largely untold origin story behind Ridley Scott's masterpiece, it takes a fascinating look at why Alien was so effective in a genre previously known for camp and silliness.
