Beyond the screenings, the membership is a key to a slower, more intentional way of watching — and a small community of people who take cinema seriously.
Reserve seats up to 72 hours before the public window opens — perfect for the prints that always sell out within minutes.
Six intimate evenings a year: 35mm restorations, director-led readings, and the kind of conversations that don't happen on social media.
Quarterly tours of our 35mm archive and projection booth. Handle the prints, meet the projectionists, see what we're restoring next.
Direct Q&A access with visiting filmmakers. Director's Cut members join four private sessions; Projection Booth joins all of them.
A quarterly members-only print journal — long-form criticism, restoration notes, and dispatches from independent festivals worldwide.
Projection Booth members sit on our annual programming jury. Help choose which four features define the spring season — and see your name in the credits.

Memberships renew each season, but the cinema runs every night. Pick a tier, claim your first screening, and we'll see you in the dark.
