THE 10-MINUTE RULE
Seats for advance ticket and pass holders are held until 10 minutes before showtime, when any unfilled seats are released to the public. Thus, advance tickets or passes ensure that you will not have to wait in the ticket purchase line but do not guarantee a seat in the case of arrival after the 10-minute window has begun. Your early arrival also helps get screenings started promptly. We appreciate your understanding. Advance ticket holders who arrive within the 10-minute window but are not seated may exchange their tickets for another screening at the Ticket Outlet or obtain a cash refund at the theater. There are no refunds or exchanges for late arrivals or for missed screenings.

Tulpan
DIRECTOR: SERGEI DVORTSEVOY
KAZAKHSTAN

Dvortsevoy's charming tale centers on Asa, a Kazakh sailor who returns home dreaming of a life as a shepherd on the windswept and remote plains of the Kazakh steppe.  Asa's stoic brother-in-law holds back on giving him his own flock until Asa finds a wife, but there is only one girl (Tulpan) of marrying age, and she rejects him.  Her dreams are of the big city, not settling down with the boastful seaman whose ears are too big.  Filled with simple grandeur of the land and its animals, Dvortsevoy's film is a humorous and thoroughly engaging portrait of life in rural Kazakhstan.  Winner of the Prix Un Certain Regard at the Cannes Film Festival and this year's Kazak submission for the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar.
