An independent ice cream peddler battles corporate ice cream brands and hordes of local boys seeking free treats in the comedy Ice Cream, I Scream. The film was Turkey’s submission to the Academy Awards. (100 mins., 35mm)

Set in 1982, the tragicomedy The International follows a small town’s preparations for the arrival of visiting dignitaries. The area’s martial law commander hires an orchestra of local street musicians, not knowing that the daughter of the conductor and her boyfriend are planning to protest the delegation’s visit. (105 mins., 35mm)

Second film starts 8:50 PM.
