The Dryden will screen North Country (Niki Caro, U.S. 2005, 126 min., 35mm) as part of the Labor Film Series.
"Sexual harassment will not be tolerated, but will be graded." These words appeared on signs posted around a Minnesota iron ore processing plant after the state asked plant management to develop a sexual harassment policy. Escalating harassment eventually led to the first class-action sexual harassment lawsuit in the United States, brought against the Eveleth mining company by women workers, members of the United Steelworkers' union. A fictionalized narrative inspired by these events, North Country vividly depicts workplace harassment and women's responses on the job, in the union, and in the courtroom. Strong performances by Charlize Theron, Frances McDormand, Sissy Spacek, and Woody Harrelson anchor the film. The soundtrack features songs by Minnesota's own Bob Dylan.

The world's first fully oil-painted feature film brings the artwork of Vincent van Gogh to life while exploring his complicated life and controversial death. First filmed as live action with actors, each of the 65,000 frames was then hand-painted in the style of van Gogh by 125 professional painters from around the world. Drawn from meticulous research and inspired by van Gogh's masterpieces and eight hundred personal letters, the film captures the world of van Gogh in a cinematic experience like no other. Armand Roulin, who was himself a subject of van Gogh's paintings, is wrapped up in trying to figure out whether van Gogh actually killed himself or was murdered. During his quest, he discovers how great an artist van Gogh actually was. The winner of several international awards, including the European Film Award For Best Animated Feature, and a nominee for the Academy Award for Best Animated Film.
