Film Grain

As the Film Society of NWPA faces another difficult year for programming, we are pivoting to a virtual cinema format for our beloved Film Grain: Dinner & Movie series.

Every other Wednesday at 6PM we will be discussing a new narrative or documentary film, live on Zoom, and we’d love for you to join us.

Our first selection in the Virtual Cinema series is MALCOLM & MARIE which is now available on Netflix, and was shot last year in secret and under quarantine. Watch MALCOLM & MARIE on Netflix anytime between now and Wednesday March 17th.

Join us on the 17th at 6PM Eastern Time via Zoom to discuss the film. Our discussion will be recorded and released here on the Film Grain podcast.

Subscribe to our newsletter at FilmSocietyNWPA.org or follow our Facebook page and the Malcolm & Marie event there for all the details and the Zoom link for the event.
