The Guild Screenings Dashboard Dashboard

Awards season continues at the WGA Theater in December with an exciting, eclectic schedule of must-see studio releases, indies and family movies. We’ve got buzzed-about titles like THE WHALE, WOMEN TALKING, EMPIRE OF LIGHT and EMANCIPATION, smaller indies worth seeing on the big screen like LIVING, CORSAGE, THE ETERNAL DAUGHTER, TAURUS and ALICE DARLING, as well as bigger studio releases SPOILER ALERT and I WANNA DANCE WITH SOMEBODY. Plus, family-friendly GUILLERMO DEL TORO’S PINOCCHIO and PUSS IN BOOTS: THE LAST WISH. 

We also have some fantastic Q&A’s this month. On Saturday, December 3rd, we welcome writer/director Noah Baumbach for a screening of his adaptation of Don DeLillo’s modern classic novel, WHITE NOISE. On Friday, December 9th at 7:30pm, co-writer Jake Crane will be on hand to discuss his new movie DEVOTION. On Sunday, December 11th at 3pm, we’ll be joined by writer/director Scott Cooper for his latest, THE PALE BLUE EYE. Then, on Saturday, December 17th at 3pm, we’ll be screening the long-awaited AVATAR: THE WAY OF WATER, followed by a Q&A with co-screenwriter/director James Cameron. Happy Holidays from the Guild Screenings Committee! Hope to see you on Doheny this month!
