The Main Street Movie House in Bradford is excited to announce the beginning of its annual Independent Film Series — just in time to kick off the new year.
Starting Jan. 9, the program is a seven-week series with films playing at 5:30 p.m. every Monday through mid-February.
Tickets to each film are $7 per person, or a season pass can be purchased for $49 and includes a free medium popcorn to each show. And 2017 popcorn buckets are also now available for $15, with $3.50 refills all year long.
According to marketing manager Tomi Dolan, the series is run every year during the winter season, with the goal of bringing movies from independent film companies to the local community that may not have access to them otherwise.
“We like to keep things local for our community, so bringing these films to our hometown theater in a series is a great way to show popular independent films without having to travel to see them,” Dolan explained. “This series has been successful for us, and we will continue the series for as long as the interest, positivity and support are there.”
The upcoming series showcases movies with specific themes of military/war, action/adventure and drama, added Dolan. They are all “heavy” movies, with star casts that deliver “powerful” performances.
“All of the films in this series were carefully selected based upon ratings from critics and the audience, and we’re just really excited for the local community to come on down to Main Street and check it out every Monday evening beginning this New Year,” Dolan stated.
“We have a few series that we put on during the year,” Dolan continued. “In the past, during the late-winter and nearing the Academy Awards, we run an Academy Awards Series, which will be coming to the theater on Feb. 27, 2017. Another film series we have done in the past is a Faith-Based series to appeal to the religious community in Bradford. And we are always looking for new ideas for film series to feature at the Main Street Movie House.”
The films for this series and when they will be playing are as follows:
Jan. 9 – Snowden
Jan. 16 – Hacksaw Ridge
Jan. 23 – Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk
Jan. 30 – Bleed for This
Feb. 6 – Miss Sloane
Feb. 13 – Patriots Day
Feb. 20 – Queen of Katwe
