The Guild Screenings Dashboard Dashboard

This May, we have some of the best-reviewed indie films of the year: HAPPENING, MONTANA STORY, PETITE MAMAN, BENEDICTION, THE INNOCENTS, and MEMORIA. There are two exciting music documentaries, JAZZ FEST: A NEW ORLEANS STORY and THIS MUCH I KNOW TO BE TRUE, the Nick Cave doc. We have two eagerly-awaited British films, DOWNTON ABBEY: A NEW ERA and Alex Garland's new horror film, MEN. We have two family matinees: CHIP 'N' DALE'S RESCUE RANGERS and THE BOB'S BURGERS MOVIE.

We also have a plethora of Q&As! On Saturday, May 14, we'll have writer/director Charles Murray discussing his crime drama THE DEVIL YOU KNOW. On Saturday, May 21, at the 7pm show, writer Michael Waldron will join us with his Marvel extravaganza, DOCTOR STRANGE IN THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS. On Sunday, May 22, co-writers Ari Katcher & Ryan Welch will discuss their new comedy thriller ON THE COUNT OF THREE.

Finally, as an added treat, on Saturday, May 7th, we'll be hosting a special 30th ANNIVERSARY SCREENING of BATMAN RETURNS! This superhero film is legendary -- the teaming of Batman, Catwoman and Penguin that was so dark that it destroyed the studio's Happy Meals tie-in and made children cry. The film is witty, perverse, and highly satirical, questioning who the real monsters in society are. Writer Daniel Waters will be on hand for a Q&A to reminisce about his Burtonesque journey.

Members may bring TWO GUESTS to all regular screenings, except where noted. Seating is first come, first serve. This month, we are reopening the concession stand. (Yay!) We'll be offering popcorn and water, to enjoy inside the theater. For FREE parking, be sure to get your parking ticket validated at the new parking validation kiosks INSIDE the theater. Finally, there is a COVID VACCINATION MANDATE for entry. Proof of vaccination plus a booster is required for all attendees 12 and up, NO EXCEPTIONS. Children 5-11 must prove full vaccination only, and under 5 are exempt. Mask wearing inside the theater is OPTIONAL, but the theater staff will have a supply of N95/KN95 masks to hand out to anyone who would like one.

Again, WELCOME BACK, and we'll see you at the movies!
