WELCOME TO THE GUILD SCREENINGS!
Fellow writers... welcome to your theater. Here are the best new movies and the hippest crowd! And starting this month, big news -- we're bringing back Saturday night screenings! 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!
This month, we have a ton of entertainment for you! We have big studio titles DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE, A QUIET PLACE: DAY ONE, HORIZON: AN AMERICAN SAGA - CHAPTER 1, and TWISTERS! We have the edgy weirdness of LONGLEGS, CRUMB CATCHER, and HUMANIST VAMPIRE SEEKING CONSENTING SUICIDAL PERSON. We have the adventurous indies KINDS OF KINDNESS and NATIONAL ANTHEM. We have the acclaimed foreign films GREEN BORDER, TOUCH, THE NATURE OF LOVE and JUNE ZERO. And for the kids... we have DESPICABLE ME 4!
There are also a number of fun Q&As. On Saturday, July 13, writer/director Ti West will discuss MAXXXINE, the third film in his horrific X trilogy. On Saturday, July 20, writer Brett Ryland will speak after his moving film on grief and mourning, THE GOOD HALF.
