About the Film Club
To be fully appreciated, great movies should be seen "actual size," on the big screen in a theater along with an audience of friends and strangers, all of them spellbound in the dark. That's the idea behind the Arena Theater Film Club.
Arena Theater Film Club is a membership-based group of cinema fans that meets three Mondays per month at the Arena Theater in Point Arena, California. The Arena Theater was built in 1929, and beautifully restored in 1997. It has a first-class sound system and modern digital cinema projection. The concession stand offers beer and wine and features organic popcorn with real butter. The theater is owned by the Arena Theater Association, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
The Arena Theater Film Club brings our members classic and foreign films from all eras, independent films, and first-rate documentaries. These films deserve to be seen in a theater on the big screen, as they were originally intended.
Check the Film Archives link at the left to see a list of all the great films we've screened since 2007. Do you have a suggestion for a future showing? Email it to us at info@arenatheaterfilmclub.org .
During the six-month season, showings are at 7 p.m. on the second and fourth Monday from October to April. Each screening is preceded by a movie trivia quiz (with popcorn prizes!), and is followed by audience discussion. We occasionally have Q&A with the filmmakers.
