This week at Theatre N:

A Happy Ending (film premiere)

"Jeremy, a 26 year old chemistry/neuro-science graduate student invents a new drug that gives you 24 hours of complete euphoria, enlightenment, and complete happiness before peacefully falling asleep to your death. This magic pill is intended solely for the purpose of alleviating the suffering of a dying person.
Jeremy takes his miracle pill to his well connected, drug dealing best friend, Jordan, and convinces him to sell the pill on the black market. The pill immediately becomes a popular news topic when 14 terminally ill patients at one hospital all decided to exercise their free will and take this miracle pill.
Jordan's girl friend, Shelby, is effected by this mass suicide when she is informed that her sister was one of those 14 people who took their own life. Shelby, who's battled depression her entire life, can't ignore the allure of the pill while seeing this on the news everyday. She's not alone. Brandon, Jeremy's roommate, also has selfish motives to feel the effects of this pill. Brandon is a struggling artist searching for nothing more than the mind opening experience."
Thursday night only, 7pm, $20 (the website doesn't say, but I'm guessing this is a locally made film).

Incendies

In French & Arabic with English subtitles.  Academy Award Nominee for Best Foreign Film.  "When notary Lebel (Rémy Girard) sits down with Jeanne and Simon Marwan (Mélissa Désormeaux Poulin, Maxim Gaudette) to read them their mother Nawal’s will (Lubna Azabal), the twins are stunned to receive a pair of envelopes – one for the father they thought was dead and another for a brother they didn’t know existed."  Fact-finding trips to the Middle-East ensue.

Theatre N is northern Delaware's best (and only) option for indie, foreign, low budget, and art house films.  Beer, wine, popcorn and candy are available very cheaply in the theater before showings.  The theater is located at 10th & Orange in the Nemours Building (enter via the revolving doors on the courtyard side of the building).  Parking is free and plentiful on the weekends, and at any time you can park in the Community parking lot across the street and get $1 validated parking.  For more info about the films or the theater:
