Hi Friends
Here is the next schedule...it is a little confusing because this time of year, as we play more first run films, the film studios start messing around, creating complications like Wednesday start dates and such. AND we are still adjusting to the difficulties in booking due to the availability of a very low number of 35mm film prints as we enter the twilight of celluloid (sadly the sun has already set on film). Doing the best we can, and don't hesitate to check the website, call, or email if you don't understand when something is playing!
We have an open hole at the end of June from the Fri June 28th through Tuesday July 3. We hope that we will be playing one of the films listed under COMING ON OUR SECOND SCREEN. The end date of MONSTERS U depends on what comes next; the earliest last day of MONSTERS is Tues July 2; the latest last day is Thurs July 4. You will be updated with this info when we have it figured out!
Also, PLEASE DON'T FORGET that on Thursday July 4, we will only have early shows of whatever is playing, both of which will be out in plenty of time for the evening's celebration...NO Later Shows during the fireworks, and nothing afterward either.
Finally please notice the special programming. On Sunday June 23 we will have the first installment of our Fourth Annual Sunday Summer Matinee Film Series sponsored by the Maine Chapter of the Sierra Club. The Sierra Club presents these films with speakers for free in order to get the public more engaged in topics of environmental importance.
I just realized that this past Sunday was Reel Pizza's 18th birthday...Whoo Hoo!
See you Soon! Enjoy these last few gasps of spring...

They struggle to protect and preserve Europe's largest unspoiled landscape to enable Iceland to grow once more, but this time with sustainability at the core to serve as an example to the rest of the world.
