Happy Thursday, Victoria.
We’ve reached the penultimate day of the work week and with just one day to go before the weekend, there is no better time than the present to enjoy a night on the town.

Screening of Touki Bouki
A vivid, fractured portrait of Senegal in the early 1970s. In this French New Wave–influenced fantasy-drama, two young lovers long to leave Dakar for the glamour and comforts of France, but their escape plan is beset by complications both concrete and mystical.
