Hello Everyone!

This Friday, we're bringing back one of our biggest hits of the past several months - A COMPLETE UNKNOWN.  In addition, we've got a special screening of EMILIA PÉREZ on Saturday afternoon - nominated for the most Oscars of any film this year!  The big screen is the best way for both of these films...and we hope you'll see them with us.  All the OSCAR NOMINATED SHORTS are sticking around for more shows, too.

If you still need to see GIRL WITH THE NEEDLE, PORCELAIN WAR or THE SEED OF THE SACRED FIG, Thursday will be your last chance to catch them at THE NEON.  

Don't forget about Hollywood's Big Night this Sunday evening!  It's FREE, and ballots to play along (and win great prizes) are now available in our lobby...and you can turn yours in early to claim your seats in advance. The awards take place Sunday, March 2 at 7PM...and doors to the event will open shortly after 6:00 on Sunday!

OPENING WEEKEND TIX ON SALE! On March 6, we're bringing the new film from director Bong Joon Ho - MICKEY 17 - starring Robert Pattinson.  Bong Joon Ho's PARASITE was a huge hit for us back in 2019/2020, and we're excited about this new film. Watch the trailer and get tickets HERE.  And we just booked BLACK BAG - the new film from Steven Soderbergh starring Cate Blanchett & Michael Fassbender - to open on March 13.  You can watch the trailer and gets tickets for opening weekend HERE.

"Open Caption Mondays" are a hit and much appreciated by many of our regulars.  On Monday, March 3, our screenings of A COMPLETE UNKNOWN will be presented with Open Captions (aka - captions presented on the screen).

Caring Hearts Foundation presents a ONE NIGHT ONLY event!  "Join producer Curtis A. Welch and writer/director Dr. Michelle of Tab Talks! for  A CIVIL RIGHTS EPILOGUE, a thought-provoking documentary that showcases the incredible stories of everyday people questioning the motives of past civil rights icons.

The film director and producer will be on hand to introduce the film, and a brief Q & A will follow.  Proceeds of the film will support Tab Talks, a small non-profit local film production company in their mission to create social impact and faith aligned content to spark broader conversations."

WILD AT HEART

Victor Bonacore's "Cult Movie Night" is back with a 35th Anniversary Screening of WILD AT HEART.

HIPPO

Join us for a special, one-night-only screening of HIPPO - with visiting lead actor Kimball Farley! "HIPPO examines the coming-of-age of two step-siblings: Hippo, a video-game addicted teenager and Buttercup, a Hungarian Catholic immigrant with a love of classical music and Jesus. Like the Ancient Greek Aphrodite, Buttercup’s love is unrequited by a brother who prefers to indulge the art of war and chaos. The result is a hormone-fueled, tragicomic waking nightmare that must be seen to be believed."  David Gordon Green said, "HIPPO’s’ strange and dark humor is quintessential viewing and a wonderful reminder of why we all got into indie filmmaking in the first place…a brilliant feature debut." Nick Allen of RogerEbert.com wrote, "the work of a budding provocateur and American satirist...an unholy fusion of A CLOCKWORK ORANGE and NAPOLEON DYNAMITE.” Tickets are $12.50.

DAWN OF IMPRESSIONISM: PARIS 1874

Join us with our friends from Dayton Art Institute for our next edition of Exhibition on Screen. "The Impressionists are the most popular group in art history - millions flock every year to marvel at their masterpieces. But, to begin with, they were scorned, penniless outsiders. 1874 was the year that changed everything; the first Impressionists, “hungry for independence”, broke the mould by holding their own exhibition outside official channels. Impressionism was born and the art world was changed forever.
The screening will be followed by a presentation from Dr. Jerry Smith, chief curator at Dayton Art Institute.
Tickets are $12.50 each, and your DAI membership card gets you a FREE small popcorn at this event!

SILENTS SYNCED - SHERLOCK JR.

Buster Keaton’s SHERLOCK, JR. with R.E.M.’s "Monster" & "New Adventures in Hi Fi" – A Silents Synced Film – Is an innovative cinematic experience that breathes new life into the timeless 1924 silent film SHERLOCK JR. By syncing Keaton's brilliant slapstick comedy and masterful physical performances with R.E.M. music, the result is a vibrant, surreal experience where Keaton’s absurdly funny adventures as a bumbling, yet lovable detective are accompanied by songs that match the emotional beats, themes, and whimsy of his world. This Silents Synced version of SHERLOCK JR. will create a unique sensory experience that will resonate with both old fans and new audiences alike.  Also included in this presentation is Keaton's short film THE BALLOONATIC - accompanied by music from Amon Tobin.
Tickets - $12.50
