AN AMERICAN CINEMA CLASSIC

Thus begins, what we hope is a new tradition of screening at least one classic during our season.  Citizen Kane is often cited as being one of the most innovative works in the history of film. In 1997, the American Film Institute placed it at number one in its list of the 100 greatest U.S. movies of all time. [More from Wikipedia]

Next Screening 5/2

Due to a family medical need back East, my brother and I will be out-of-town and unable to run the digital light projector and surround sound system for a 4/18 screening. Therefore our 9th and 10th screenings of the season will be on 5/2 and 5/16.

We are sorry for any inconvenience that this may cause.
