Not sure what you’re in the mood for? Good news, you don’t have to know this.
This week at the Sie FilmCenter is packed with everything from thoughtful new indies and coming-of-age comedies to high-octane anime, cult horror chaos, and one of the greatest summer blockbusters. Whether you’re looking to discover a new favorite with JINSEI, laugh (and maybe cry) with SHE’S THE HE!, dive into this week’s Sie/Saw lineup featuring REDLINE, SLEEPAWAY CAMP: The Midnight Mass Experience, HOLES, and MIKEY AND NICKY, or celebrate the 50th anniversary of JAWS with our Sci-Fi Film Series screening featuring a post-film conversation with an expert from the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, there’s no wrong choice this week. And if you’re already planning ahead, we’ve got exciting new releases coming soon in the coming weeks too.
New Releases
JINSEI
Life isn’t a straight line, and neither is JINSEI. Director Ryuya Suzuki follows one man’s journey through changing identities, societal expectations, and the labels we collect along the way. Equal parts character study and social commentary, it’s a thoughtful reminder that growing up and growing into yourself is rarely simple.
SHE’S THE HE!
What starts as a fake identity to squash high school rumors quickly becomes something much more real. SHE’S THE HE! is a funny, heartfelt coming-of-age story about friendship, self-discovery, and the unexpected ways we find ourselves. It’s sharp, sincere, and likely to spark a few conversations on the ride home.
Sie/Saw Retrospective Picks
REDLINE
If you’ve never seen REDLINE on the big screen, this is your chance. Takeshi Koike’s hand-drawn sci-fi racing epic is pure cinematic excess in the best possible way. Every frame is packed with detail, every race is bigger than the last, and it’s the kind of movie that reminds you animation can do absolutely anything.
SLEEPAWAY CAMP: The Midnight Mass Experience
This isn’t just a screening, it’s an event. Join Peaches Christ, Michael Varrati, and horror icon Felissa Rose for a wildly interactive celebration of one of horror’s most unforgettable cult classics. Expect laughs, audience participation, and enough camp to last the rest of the summer.
Staff Pick: HOLES (Members Only)
Some movies only get better with age. This month’s Members-Only Staff Pick from Creative Lead, Joey Haas, revisits HOLES, a surprisingly clever adventure packed with memorable characters, satisfying storytelling, and enough nostalgia to transport you straight back to middle school.
MIKEY AND NICKY
Elaine May’s quietly devastating crime drama remains one of American cinema’s greatest hidden gems. With unforgettable performances from Peter Falk and John Cassavetes, Mikey and Nicky blurs the line between gangster movie and intimate character study.
Sci-Fi Film Series: JAWS
Fifty years later, JAWS still has audiences thinking twice before stepping into the water. More than just the original summer blockbuster, Spielberg’s masterpiece remains a masterclass in suspense, character, and filmmaking craft. Stick around afterward for a post-film discussion hosted by Lisa Kennedy featuring Dr. Bridget Chalifour of the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, exploring the real science behind cinema’s most famous shark.
