The Work in Progress is a searching portrait of America at a moment of profound uncertainty, and a hopeful exploration of what we owe one another as our country faces unprecedented challenges.

Inspired by Robert Reich’s curiosity and humanity, it is a testament to the power of listening, civic engagement, and the belief that our shared future is still ours to shape. The film begins with Prof. Reich asking: "What do we owe each other?" What follows is a journey to find out.

The HippCinema celebrates the 85th Anniversary of Citizen Kane, written, directed, and starring Orson Welles as Kane. When a reporter is assigned to decipher newspaper magnate Charles Foster Kane's dying words, his investigation gradually reveals the fascinating portrait of a complex man who rose from obscurity to staggering heights. Though Kane's friend and colleague Jedediah Leland (Joseph Cotten), and his mistress, Susan Alexander (Dorothy Comingore), shed fragments of light on Kane's life, the reporter fears he may never pe*****te the mystery of the elusive man's final word, "Rosebud." Orson Welles and Herman J. Mankiewicz won an Academy Award for best original Screenplay.

At the very end of the 1970’s, post office worker Ed Saxberger (Willem Dafoe) wrote a book of poetry that nobody cared about. After an eager and flattering fan (Edmund Donovan) appears on his doorstep, Saxberger is beckoned into a coterie of young admirers who anoint him a rediscovered genius. The group of downtown bohemians is led by their “tragic heroine,” Gloria (Greta Lee). Intoxicated by the attention, and Gloria’s alluring presence, Saxberger gradually reckons with the authenticity of his newfound poetic circle. From director Kent Jones (“Diane”), Oscar-nominated screenwriter Samy Burch (“May December”), and based on Arthur Schnitzler’s novella of the same name, “Late Fame” is a wistful yet unromantic look at a lost idea of downtown New York.
