For this screening we are exploring themes of ritual and repetition within the Crocker Art Museum's art collection. Thelma's choices are Perfect Days (2023) dir. by Wim Wenders, All That Jazz (1979) dir. by Bob Fosse, and Match Factory Girl (1990) dir. by Aki Kaurrismäki -- and as always, Thelma picks one (but we encourage you to watch the other choices!)

Please come at 6 PM to enjoy a pre-screening tea ceremony presented by Taohua Tea (@taohuatea). Ziru and Olive of Taohua will be hosting a gongfu (工夫茶) tea ceremony, which is a traditional and ritualistic way to serve tea in East Asia.

Local cinema club Thelmarama takes up residence at the Crocker to lead a film journey through the Museum’s permanent collection. This residency, which will span six individual screenings across the 2026 calendar year, uses the medium of film to explore themes, ideas, and artistic movements present in the galleries. Each screened film will be a surprise, so embrace adventure and join us for a fun-filled evening! 

Tickets: $8 - $16
