M A I N A T T R A C T I O N SMain AttractionsWhat main films will play at the Hiway? Predicting in advance what films will play at our beloved one-screen Hiway is the biggest challenge that we face. It is very hard to know ahead of time. The films listed here are an educated guess. Our website is always the best place to get up-to-the-minute information.Scheduling our main films is week-to-week. On Monday, we decide what main film will play starting that Friday. On Tuesday and Wednesday, we set the showtimes for the upcoming week and then update our website and telephone hotline.We also send out a weekly email (sign up at our website). Sometimes, we book a main film a few weeks in advance, which we post on our website. For our latest Main Attractions plans, visit: HiwayTheater.org. (Or call our Hotline at 267-864-0065) Tulip Fever

The Zookeeper’s Wife USA - Niki Caro This period piece based on the best-sell-ing novel tells the true story of the War-saw Zoo during the Nazi occupation of Poland. Jessica Chastain stars as a zoo-keeper, who risked her life to hide and save children among the animals during the invasion. An excellent performance from Chastain who expertly handles this story of courage and compassion. Also starring Daniel Brühl.

Their Finest UK - Lone Scherfig - 1 hr 57 min Set during the German air blitz of London during WWII, THEIR FINEST is about a British film crew that attempts to boost morale by creating a propaganda film. Told with wry humor and honesty, it’s a delightful story about persevering through trying times. The excellent cast features Gemma Arterton and Sam Claflin, as well as Bill Nighy, Helen McCrory, Jeremy Irons, and Richard E. Grant.

I Am Not Your Negro USA - Raoul Peck - 1 hr 35 minIn this provocative documentary, film-maker Raoul Peck brilliantly uses the ideas and words of American writer James Baldwin to tell the story of race in modern America. Based on his un-finished novel “Remember This House,” I AM NOT YOUR NEGRO utilizes archival footage, interviews, and photography to convey Baldwin’s powerful message. Narrated by Samuel L. Jackson.

The Hiway Theater has a new year-round film series: Classic Thursdays. We will have a classic film every other Thursday night.

Dates subject to change. Due to the fact that we are a single screen theater, we occasionally must postpone special classic screenings. This happens due to unavoidable contractual obligations with our distributors. Any change will be announced at least a week ahead of time, and will result in pushing the date forward or back one week. So before you come, please check our website or hotline for confirmation.

Why? Because that’s how the movie biz works. Believe us, we wouldn’t have this “subject to change” policy if we didn’t have to. (If we made the rules, we’d show 3 or 4

different films every week!) But that’s not how the movie business works, so we must be flexible in programming these special titles. All things considered, this is the best way to bring you the most varied programs possible.

Stay up-to-date by email. The best way to be aware of everything happening at the Hiway is to get our weekly email. You can sign up right from our website. Each week, we will let you know about the Hiway’s upcoming films and events. We’ll also let you know about the screenings at our sister theater, the Ambler, which members can attend for the same member price as the Hiway.

Ticket prices for Classic Thursdays. Our normal ticket prices apply to Classic Thursdays, except for young cineastes: patrons 18 and younger will only be charged an admission of $3 for this series.
