We’re thrilled to present this program in our brand-new cinema space at Riker Hill—designed for watching, understanding, and discussing film. This intimate 25-seat venue will debut with this series and will continue to host curated screenings of international cinema.

Please note: Seating is limited. Priority will be given on a first-come, first-served basis.

To support the development of this space, we’ve launched a GoFundMe campaign. Every contribution—large or small—helps us create a welcoming home for passionate cinephiles.
