Cinema Arts Centre Preview Club: Special Advanced Screening Series!

As a member of the Cinema Arts Preview Club, you will attend special advance screenings of major new films prior to their New York release. The club features outstanding films from the festival circuit, always accompanied by discussions with guest speakers. Club members are invited to participate in the discussion. Films and guest speakers are a surprise until the night of the screening; where you will be introduced to a wide range of high-quality, discussion-provoking movies. The club is also a great social experience. Come early and schmooze. Members will fill out comment cards at each film, and the results and choice opinions will be read at the next film. The Cinema Arts Preview Club promises many unforgettable evenings this season and for years to come.
