Please join us for a special screening of House of Sand and Fog followed by a conversation with Sir Ben Kingsley.
Academy Award© winners Jennifer Connelly (A Beautiful Mind) and Ben Kingsley (Gandhi) star in the dramatic thriller House of Sand and Fog, based on the acclaimed bestseller by Andre Dubus III. House of Sand and Fog is the story of two people driven to desperate measures to claim ownership of a house. It is only a small bungalow in Northern California, but to Kathy Nicolo (Jennifer Connelly), it is the last vestige of hope for reclaiming a life that was nearly lost to addiction. The new owner, Massoud Amir Behrani (Sir Ben Kingsley), sees the house as the fulfillment of the American Dream he has been pursuing since he fled Iran with his family years earlier. What began as a conflict over a small, rundown bungalow spirals into a clash of cultures that propels everyone involved towards an inescapable, and ultimately heartbreaking, climax. House of Sand and Fog marks the directorial debut of Vadim Perelman.
