The week’s openings redux: SpIFF goes international

Along with the two mainstream openings listed below , a third film is scheduled to open Friday in area theaters. And the 1 9th Spokane International Film Festival continues tonight with a pair of showings.

Friday’s additional opening:

“The Comedian” : Robert De Niro — yes, the Robert De Niro — plays an aging insult comic who is seeking another shot at fame. You looking at me?

And tonight’s SpIFF schedule (both screenings are at the Magic Lantern):

“Lost in Paris” (6:30): A Canadian woman heads to the City of Lights to find her elderly aunt who has gone missing. Comic disasters ensue. In French and English (with English subtitles).

“District Zero” (6:45): A man living in a Jordanian refugee camp amid thousands of displaced Syrians goes about life fixing mobile phones. A meditation on the meaning of existence. In Arabic with English subtitles.

Note : Screenings have been selling out, so get your tickets early.
