Future

Our eighth annual film festival takes place August 20–24. This is the year of the wood snake: a time of dynamic transformation. Undulating through patterns of creation, collapse, and renewal, this program is guided by endings that become beginnings.

The Arverne Cinemas are closed for the season. See you in the spring!
