The Guild Screenings Dashboard Dashboard

May brings forth a bounty of early summer blockbusters (AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR, SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY, DEADPOOL 2) and an eclectic array of indies and documentaries, including the potboiler DARK CRIMES, the romantic ON CHESIL BEACH, and the fun, twisted debuts TERMINAL and REVENGE.

We’re also excited to feature four very exciting Q&A events. On Friday, May 4, we welcome co-writer/star Alia Shawkat and her co-writer/director partner, Miguel Arteta, following their buzzed about new indie DUCK BUTTER. Saturday, May 5 at 5pm, co-writers Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely will be on hand to discuss their new film, AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR. On Friday, May 18, you won’t want to miss our Q&A with screenwriter/star Penn Jillette following a screening of his whacked-out, meta cult comedy DIRECTOR’S CUT. Finally, the Guild Screenings is thrilled to welcome co-writers Lawrence Kasdan & Jonathan Kasdan, following the 5pm showing of SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY.

As always, members may bring TWO GUESTS to all regular screenings, except where noted. Seating is first come, first serve. We ask that members frequent the food and drink offerings from Homeboy Industries before the film. On weekends, we serve popcorn, beverages, salads, sandwiches, and fresh pastries. Only popcorn and water are allowed inside the theater, and patrons may not bring in outside food. We'll see you at the movies!
