The Guild Screenings Dashboard Dashboard

Film lovers, this month is insane! We’ve got 25 movies! 10 Q&As! Tons of highly-anticipated titles, fresh from their festival premieres! October, our Guild Theater is the best multiplex in town. We’ve got the thriller DON’T WORRY DARLING, the DC extravaganza BLACK ADAM, the Vietnam adventure THE GREATEST BEER RUN EVER, and the startling true-crime drama THE GOOD NURSE. We’ve got great indies, including the psychological drama GOD’S CREATURES, the magical memory piece AFTERSUN, Peter Hedges’ emotional pandemic drama THE SAME STORM, and the scathing black comedy TRIANGLE OF SADNESS, which won this year's Palme d'Or at Cannes. We're also proud to have two WGA-signatory animated features screening this month: LYLE, LYLE, CROCODILE and WENDELL & WILD.

We're also giddy about all the Q&A's. Saturday, October 1, we have co-writer/directors Maya Forbes and Wally Wolodarsky, with their Sigourney Weaver comedy-drama THE GOOD HOUSE. Sunday, October 2, writer/director David O. Russell joins us with his mystery comedy AMSTERDAM. Saturday, October 8, writer/director Todd Field will speak after his epic musical drama, TÁR. Sunday, October 9, writer/star Billy Eichner and writer/director Nicholas Stoller will discuss their groundbreaking gay rom-com, BROS. And on Friday, October 14, writer/director (and screenwriting legend) Walter Hill will appear with his western DEAD FOR A DOLLAR.

Plus more! Sunday, October 16, writer/director Lena Dunham will talk after her medieval coming-of-age CATHERINE CALLED BIRDY. Friday, October 21, writer Hayley Schore will discuss her 1960s abortion drama CALL JANE. Saturday, October 22, co-writer/director Henry Selick will appear after his stop-motion horror comedy WENDELL & WILD. Sunday, October 23, writer/director James Gray will discuss his autobiographical childhood drama ARMAGEDDON TIME. And finally, Saturday, October 29, co-writer/director Chinonye Chukwu will join us with her emotional Emmett Till drama, TILL.
