Presentation on Laura

Tonight at the County Theater and tomorrow at the Ambler, I will be giving a presentation on Laura (1944, Preminger) as part of their "Film 101: Inside the Classics" series. The film will not screen, but I will be showing clips.

Dinner Cinema

Tonight and next Wednesday, Ambler and County Theaters are hosting an event pairing a 35mm screening of Babette's Feast (Gabriel Axel, 1987), one of the ultimate food movies, with a meal inspired by the film.

On March 8th, the lobby of the Ambler will be transformed by Chef [Joseph] Koye as he presents his interpretation of this meal. On March 14th, Chef [Drew] Abbate will transform The Vine and Fig Tree Bistro (across the street from The County) into a candle-lit version of the movie with his own take on the film’s signature dishes.

...

The screenings begin at 5:45 and will include a complimentary glass of wine and hors d’oeuvres. Dinner will be served at 8pm immediately following the screening. Tickets are available online for both the movie (which includes wine and appetizers) and the full movie and feast package.

Tickets are limited and need to be bought in advance. More details available at the theaters' blog.
