The Guild Screenings

April 2025

WELCOME TO THE GUILD SCREENINGS!

Welcome to your Guild Screenings. We are exploding with films this month! You want big screen thrills? Check out the globe-trotting THE AMATEUR, Ryan Coogler's supernatural SINNERS, the Navy SEAL film WARFARE, and the brawling HAVOC! For quieter indie fare, there's the emotional BOB TREVINO LIKES IT, the warmhearted THE PENGUIN LESSONS, and ON SWIFT HORSES, a period tale of yearning love. More off the beaten path, check out the amnesia mystery THE ACTOR, the music doc ONE TO ONE: JOHN & YOKO, and David Cronenberg's body horror THE SHROUDS. For families with children, please come to A MINECRAFT MOVIE and THE LEGEND OF OCHI!

We also have Q&As. On Saturday, April 5, co-writer/co-director Ryan Fleck will appear after his wild sprawling action/comedy FREAKY TALES. On Friday, April 18, we'll screen the energetic road comedy SACRAMENTO, followed by a talk with co-writer/director Michael Angarano.

On Sunday, April 13, we have a special event. The Asian American Writers Committee is co-sponsoring a screening of the modern reimagining of THE WEDDING BANQUET. Co-writer/director Andrew Ahn and co-writer James Schamus will speak after their comedy, which addresses cultural identity and queerness. There will be a reception afterwards.

As always, ALL MOVIES ARE FREE! You can bring TWO GUESTS to all general screenings. You get THREE GUESTS at all Family Matinees. Seating is first come, first served. No RSVP needed. And parking is free – we validate!
