June 6: Sixty Six(2006) PG-13 (93 minutes)
During the summer of 1966, 12-year-old Londoner Bernie (Gregg Sulkin) eagerly prepares for his upcoming bar mitzvah, but disaster looms when England snags a spot in the World Cup finals, scheduled for the same day as Bernie's big celebration. With his father (Eddie Marsan) and mother (Helena Bonham Carter) facing financial difficulties, Bernie struggles to readjust his expectations for the biggest event of his life.

July 11: Orthodox Stance (2007) NR (83 minutes)
Russian immigrant Dmitriy Salita juggles his two worlds as a boxer and an Orthodox Jew in this fascinating documentary that follows the diligent young fighter's struggle to devote himself to both of these elements in his life. Guided by prominent trainer and Starrett City Boxing Club founder Jimmy O'Pharrow, Salita wins New York's Golden Gloves championship, then soon turns pro -- but refuses to compromise his religious beliefs.

Two great events in one night! The CBI youth are invited to the grassy field for a youth-oriented movie. Bring your own dinner and blanket, we will provide popcorn and cookies.

August 8: Autumn Hearts: A New Beginning (2007) NR (99 minutes)
Susan Sarandon, Gabriel Byrne, Christopher Plummer and Max von Sydow star in this powerful drama about a group of friends who reunite 35 years after their release from a Nazi internment camp during World War II. Based on the gripping novel from author Matt Cohen, director Paolo Barzman's stirring adaptation explores the immutable bond the survivors share and the unmistakable impact it has on their relationships with those around them.
