We kick off our 2025 season proper with a very special screening of Peter Jackson’s THE HOBBIT.
We can’t give away too much other than to tell you that if you have dreamed of doing a complete J.R.R. Tolkien/Peter Jackson weekend of The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings you’ll want to attend both events starting here. And if you're a fan of J.R.R. Tolkein's The Hobbit, we think you're going to be interested in today's screening.
The Hobbit is the story that started it all. It tells of the adventures of homebody hobbit Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman) who reluctantly joins Gandalf the Wizard (Ian McKellan) and a band of brave dwarves to retake the dwarves’ home and treasure from the all-powerful dragon Smaug. Along the way, Bilbo discovers a very peculiar ring he wins from a strange creature named Gollum. The ring has a strange power and well. . .this is the story that sets up the entire epic.
Today is also Secret Movie Club’s re-launch and start to our 2025 season. It’s on a pay what you can donation basis. So if you want to see the movie in a movie palace and can only do a few dollars. Go for it! If you are able to make a larger donation to support Secret Movie Club, go for it. All donations power our mission to showcase, program, curate great cinema and give support to emerging moviemakers.
Bottom line, please donate whatever you are able to.
