“Klimt & Schiele: Eros & Psyche” -  A recounting of  the start of the Vienna Secession, a magical art movement formed in the late 1890's for art, literature, and music, in which new ideas are circulated; Freud discovers the drives of the psyche, and women begin to claim their independence. It was a movement that marked a new era outside the confines of academic tradition. At the heart of Secession were artists Gustav Klimt and his protégé and dear friend Egon Schiele. This exhibition proves an in-depth examination of images of extraordinary visual power: from the eroticism of Klimt's mosaic-like works, to the anguished and raw work of the young Schiele in his magnetic nudes and contorted figures against the backdrop of nocturnal Vienna, full of masked balls and dreams imbued with sexuality. (1 hour, 30 minutes) Playing Tuesday, April 16 at 7 PM and Friday April 19 at 2 PM. Tickets: $15 Adult / $13 LT Members / $5 Youth 18 & Under, available through the Lincoln Theater Box Office and at the door.

Derek Webber, Washington D.C. Director of Spaceport Associates, and director of three landmark studies in commercial space business planning that established the existence of a space tourism market, will lead a discussion and Q&A after Wednesday's two screenings. (G; 1 hour, 33 minutes) Playing  at 2 and 7  p.m. Wednesday, April 17 and Thursday, April 18.
