The Guild Screenings Dashboard Dashboard

September at The Guild Screenings is chock full of great films for all tastes. Whether it’s big studio releases like OPERATION FINALE, THE PREDATOR and NIGHT SCHOOL, unique indies like THE CHILDREN ACT, THE SISTERS BROTHERS and ASSASSINATION NATION, must-see documentaries like LOVE, GILDA, BAD REPUTATION and AMERICAN CHAOS or the larger than life family film THE HOUSE WITH A CLOCK IN ITS WALLS, there are more than enough reasons to head on over to the Guild Theater. Actually, here are six more...

This month we have a bevy of exciting Q&A events. We kick them off on September 1st by welcoming acclaimed writer/director Nicole Holofcener to discuss her new film THE LAND OF STEADY HABITS. On Friday, September 7th we’ll have co-writer/director Wash Westmoreland following a screening of his new period biopic, COLETTE. The following evening the writers of WHITE BOY RICK, Andy Weiss and Logan & Noah Miller, will take the Guild Theater stage.

On Friday, September 14th, we’re very excited to present a special 45th anniversary screening of AMERICAN GRAFFITI, followed by a Q&A with co-writers Gloria Katz & Willard Huyck, moderated by one of the film's stars Charles Martin Smith. We spoke to the legendary screenwriters, who fondly remembered their experience of working with director/co-writer George Lucas and producer Francis Ford Coppola.
