AEC Spring Independent Film Series
February 8 - May 1

Beaufort tells the story of Liraz Liberti, a 22-year-old outpost commander, and his troops in the months before Israel pulled out of Lebanon. This is not a story of war, but of retreat. As Liraz lays explosives that would destroy the very same structure that his friends had died defending, he witnesses the collapse of all he's been taught as an officer, and his soldiers’ mental and physical disintegration. Nominated for an Oscar (Best Foreign Language Film), with another five win, seven nominations.

NOTE: Since there is an existing “Retro Nights Series” on Mondays & Tuesdays at the Bijou, there will be no evening shows on Monday, April 7, and Tuesday, April 8.

Contact the Bijou for specific showtimes.
