FirstLook Film Forum

The next season of the FirstLook Film Forum
will start Sunday morning, Jan 25.
Single movie admission $15
Entire season (7 sessions) $70

On Sunday Mornings
If you love movies, join a discriminating group of cinephiles to share brunch, conversation, critique, and an advance screening of the latest offering from a roster of prominent independent, foreign, and up-and-coming filmmakers. Please note the new starting times this season:

10:00am Brunch and conversation
The aroma of piping-hot, fresh-brewed coffee welcomes you to the Naro Expanded Cinema, where an assortment of Yorgo’s bagels and spreads along with fresh doughnuts and orange juice await you.--all included as part of your Film Forum membership. (All other concession items will of course be available for purchase).

10:30am Introduction and Screening
Find your favorite seat to settle into and Forum host Bill Jones will offer brief introductory remarks.

Immediately following the screening
The spark for post-screening discussion will be provided by the “Voice of the Forum,” host Bill Jones. Share your own opinion as Bill takes questions and comments from the audience. Survey cards will be passed out for your written comments and movie rating.

 

Don't miss out!

Over 200 film buffs have enjoyed each season of the Film Forum. Members have screened some of the year's most acclaimed films in advance of their regular showings.

Girllight - Dancer in the Dark - Billy Elliot - Two Family House - Shower - What's Cooking - Chocolat - Malena - Shadow of the Vampire - Blow - Tailor of Panama - Widow of St. Pierre - The Closet - Himalaya - Life as a House - Liam - Big Fish - Shattered Glass

The titles of each program will not be announced in advance. There are real "Sneak Previews", and you won't know what you'll be seeing until you arrive. Many of these films will have regular engagements at the NARO, but you will be the first in Hampton Roads to see them. Unburdened by press reviews or media hype- You're the film critic!

Join the FirstLook Film Forum
This season will include seven programs

Membership passes are transferable. If you're unable to attend any program, simply give your pass to a friend.

Single program admission available at the door for $15.00.
