What if the movies of yesterday could help us navigate the challenges of today?
The Saturday Matinee Movie Club in the Bait Box Theatre: Where Cinema Reveals Our Shared Human Story
Every film is a living document — a time machine — not just entertainment, but a blueprint for understanding our current world. We screen films that don't just reflect history, but illuminate how humanity persistently addresses complex challenges. Film as Folklore!
Support our artists! $10 suggested per screening (Non-Members) · $7 for Monthly VIP Members & Folklore Luminaries
"Tickets" are suggested donations that support our working theatre artists.
Why These Films Are Still Relevant:
• Timeless themes that still resonate
• Show the resilience of previous generations
• Reveal unexpected connections across decades
The New Folklore Theatre Company invites you to see how the past speaks directly to our present. Join the club!
