Monthly Screenings

Monthly Screenings feature films and discussions about the various cultures in the world, including the diversity in our own country. The screenings are held the 4th Thursday of each month at DiFebo's in Ocean View and the 4th Friday of each month at the Movies at Midway in the upstairs screening room. Screening time at both locations is 7:00 pm.

The first 48 ticket purchasers for events in the upstairs screening room at the Movies at Midway are entitled to a theater-style seat. Portable chairs will be available for additional ticket purchasers.

Attendees at the DiFebo’s screenings can receive 10 percent off their food check before or after the film screening. Beverages purchased in the Bistro can be brought into the screening room to be enjoyed during the film.

Oscar® Shorts

Screening short films in the short month of February seems fitting. The audience will delight in seeing drama, comedy, and science fiction in the best short films from five countries.

Following the screenings, local film critic Rob Rector will lead a discussion about what makes each film eligible for award consideration.

Audiences at both screenings will be given the opportunity to vote for the favorite of these nominees, and the Film Society will report the results in the next weekly email. Test your skills at picking a winner!

The comedic drama stars Christopher Plummer as Flash, a curmudgeon with a thirst for classic films and alcohol. Flash is a retired Hollywood gaffer who longs for the days when he worked as a crew member on such cinematic masterpieces as Citizen Kane. When Flash meets a teenage film fanatic named Cameron Kincaid, he becomes an unlikely mentor. Cameron’s ambition is to enter a student film competition, in which the top prize is a film school scholarship that would provide a way out of his difficult and financially strained home life. Flash, who sees his own life drawing to a close, recruits his eccentric friends at the Motion Picture Residence for the Elderly, and helps Cameron make his film and chase his dreams. [2007, USA, Runtime: 107 min, Rated: PG-13] (Trailer)

Following the screening, Pamela Preston, a local film and television production professional will lead a discussion.
