Vienna, 1787. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, at the height of his powers but struggling financially, meets a serious and supremely confident teenager who wants to hire him as a teacher, Ludwig Van Beethoven. This comic-drama imagines how the relationship between two of music’s towering geniuses (whom many scholars believe met in real life) might have evolved. Featuring some of the great works of each composer, as well as some brilliantly imagined ‘collaborations’, The Vienna Lessons shows how these two men, separated by temperament and age, nonetheless find in each other the unique bond only true visionaries can share.

20) "Iowa Vet: Cats, Corn, and Murder,"
a new documentary, to have world premiere
at Cinema Village from June 5 - 18

Iowa Vet: Dogs, Cats, Corn, & Murder, a new documentary by Michael Schelp and Bathsheba Monk, will have its world premiere at Cinema Village (22 E. 12th Street between University Place and 5th Avenue) from June 5-18, 2026. In the film, a veterinarian reflects on growing up on an Iowa farm, building an animal hospital in the big city, confronting the upheavals transforming his profession, and navigating the unexpected chapters — Murders, Mormons, a Modern Family — that helped shape his life.

“Iowa Vet: Dogs, Cats, Corn, & Murder is, at its core, a film about change,” co-director Michael Schelp. “It traces the many transformations in Alan’s life, across agriculture, the veterinary profession, and his own personal journey. Along the way, we hope that audiences will encounter surprising, often humorous experiences that reveal both the unpredictability and richness of a life fully lived. At a moment, when the world feels in constant flux, this film explores enduring themes of family, faith, love, work, and adaptation. It is both a deeply personal tribute to my husband Alan, and a broader love letter to the Midwest.”

The film runs 85 minutes, and there are daily screenings at Cinema Village at 2PM, 4PM, 6PM, and 8PM. Each screening will be followed by a live Q&A with Dr. Younkin, offering a unique opportunity to engage, and ask questions, directly after the film.
