Happy September from the Guild Screenings! We’ve got another great mix of studio tentpoles and must-see indies for you this month. Whether it’s larger budget movies like THE CROW, BEETLEJUICE BEETLEJUICE, AFRAID, SPEAK NO EVIL or TRANSFORMERS ONE, or smaller budget fare that deserve to be seen on the big screen, like the psychological space thriller, SLINGSHOT, the feminist potboiler MOTHERS’ INSTINCT, the buzzed about horror debut, STRANGE DARLING, the tender HIS THREE DAUGHTERS, the aliens among us drama MEANWHILE ON EARTH, Jérémy Clapin’s eagerly anticipated live-action follow-up to his 2019 animated darling I Lost My Body, the super scary THE FRONT ROOM, the super quirky A DIFFERENT MAN, or the body horror Cannes phenom THE SUBSTANCE, there are a multitude of reasons to come on down to your Guild Theater!

But here are a few more. We’ve got some great Q&A events planned for you.
