Special movies on tap for fall season

Sisters Movie House & Café is welcoming back the popular special event series known as “Autumn Arts & Adventure” starting on Wednesday September 18.

At the same time, the cinema and café will be reducing “normal” operating days and hours to Wednesdays through Sundays for the months of September and October. The theater will be closed completely on Monday and Tuesdays, but will feature the special showings every Wednesday along with a number of new releases opening “early” on Thursdays through Halloween.

This year’s AA&A will kick off with another gallery documentary from the UK’s Seventh Arts Productions – Exhibition on Screen: “Cezanne – Portraits of a Life” will show at 6:30 p.m. on September 18. As with the rest of the series, it’s “one night only” and specially priced at $16 per person for general admission tickets.

“These gallery exhibition movies are amongst the most popular we have had at the theater,” said Drew Kaza, Managing Partner of quoin media & entertainment, which operates Sisters Movie House & Café. “The Cezanne movie is an encore showing though, back by popular demand. It last showed here for one night in December 2022, and many folks missed it then, so we thought we would give fine art fans another opportunity to catch it.”

The series continues on Wednesday, September 25, with an adventure special: the Ritual Mountain Bike Film Tour, which played for one night in Bend back in the spring, but has been otherwise unreleased on the big screen since.

“It’s really a thrill a minute for mountain biking fans,” said Kaza.

It’s back to arts – and in particular, pop music from the 1970s with the special release of “One Hand Clapping: Paul McCartney and Wings,” coming in on Wednesday, October 22.

Tickets are on sale now. Both are one night only and will screen at 6:30 p.m. on the night.

More movies in the series will be announced later this month, with the entire program continuing into mid-November.

“We have eight weeks of amazing movies coming,” noted Kaza. “These specials are on top of a great line-up of regular movies opening up in the weeks ahead.”
