Michigan, Hope College's Knickerbocker Theatre has announced

the Beatles, the series shows a range of films bound to

Armstrong take the first steps on the moon. The film is
rated PG-13.

"In the Mood for Love" runs Friday-Thursday, Aug.
10-16, with shows at 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. nightly. An allusive
and bittersweet work about longing, the film is set in 1962
Hong Kong. It is the story of a journalist and secretary
who are drawn together by their suspicion that their spouses
are having an affair. Their relationship deepens, but the
focus is on longing. The film is rated PG and is in

"A Time for Drunken Horses" shows Friday-Thursday,

the life of a people rarely seen, the film shows us the life
of the Kurds, an ethnic group living as minorities in a

of Iran, near the Iraq border, where a hardworking young boy
struggles with his sisters and brothers in a harsh life of
economic deprivations. They find a new focus as they begin

"A Hard Day's Night" runs Monday-Saturday, Aug.

redefined the rock musical in 1964, the film has gone on to
be a classic of the genre. Now the restored and remastered

that seems as ageless as the Beatles. The film is unrated.

conflicts the western influence brings in his personal and
professional life. The film is rated PG, and is in Mandarin
with English subtitles.
