This spring join us for another iteration of Secret Cinema: the film screening where you won’t learn what you’re seeing until the opening credits. 

All we can say is this will be a 25th anniversary screening of a film from the seismic cinematic year of 1999. It might be one of the groundbreaking classics from that year or a forgotten gem. It might be something so strange that it demands to see the light of day—or the light of our projector. Throw caution to the wind and see what we have in store for you. Keep an eye on our social media feeds; you never know when we might share another hint! 

Our last Secret Cinema film was a new 35mm print of Trust (Hal Hartley, 1990).
