The Guild Screenings
September 2025
WELCOME TO THE GUILD SCREENINGS!
Celebrate the end of summer and the new school year with another eclectic offering of films from your friends at The Guild Screenings. We’ve got big budget studio features like writer/director Paul Thomas Anderson’s thrilling ride ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER, the latest cinematic chapter, DOWNTON ABBEY: THE GRAND FINALE and the dark comedy remake THE ROSES. We’re also featuring smaller indie must-sees like HONEY DON’T, THE HISTORY OF SOUND and SPINAL TAP II: THE END CONTINUES.
You also won’t want to miss any of our special Q&A events. On Saturday, 9/6 we welcome co-writers Patrick Pianezza & Christopher Leone to discuss their paramedic odyssey CODE 3. On Friday, 9/12 writer/director James Sweeney will join us to talk about his Sundance Audience Award winning TWINLESS. Sunday, 9/14 premieres ramshackle comedy THE BALTIMORONS and we’ll have co-writer/director Jay Duplass and co-writer Michael Strassner on hand. Saturday, 9/20, you won’t want to miss rom com dramedy THE THREESOME with writer Ethan Ogilby in the house. Finally, on Sunday, 9/28 we’ll have co-writer/director Derek Cianfrance with us to discuss his wildly funny and unpredictable new film, ROOFMAN. It’s all at your Guild Theater in September.
As always, ALL MOVIES ARE FREE FOR MEMBERS! Plus, 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!
