ANIARA (2019) Stream on Hulu; Rent on Amazon, Google Play, iTunes, Vudu and YouTube. This sci-fi drama from the directors Pella Kagerman and Hugo Lilja is based on a downbeat 1956 poem by the Swedish Nobel laureate Harry Martinson. Like its source material, the movie tells a story that is, despite being about humans traveling beyond the confines of earth’s atmosphere, supremely claustrophobic: It centers on a spaceship knocked off course, out of fuel and running out of hope. The crew of the ship, which had left an earth in environmental ruin and was bound for a human colony on Mars, includes MR (Emelie Jonsson), the story’s protagonist, whose situation becomes increasingly grim. “At times, the commitment to bleakness feels artistically admirable,” Teo Bugbee wrote in her review for The New York Times. “The film unblinkingly faces the void, and it refuses to console the audience, which has come along for the ride. But mostly, this is a movie that simulates the experience of losing the will to live, a daunting premise even for the bravest voyagers.”

Those scheduled to be in attendance include Senators Bernie Sanders and Cory Booker, Mayor Pete Buttigieg of South Bend, Ind., the former housing secretary Julián Castro, Andrew Yang and Marianne Williamson. The town hall begins livestreaming on Thursday at 10 a.m. EST and will continue on Friday.
