Atlanta

For 28 seasons, the Cinema Club (originally called the Key Sunday Cinema Club) has met in Atlanta. The very first screening was of THE EEL in October 1998 at the Garden Hills Cinemas. Today, we meet for two seasons out of the year (winter/spring and fall) at the Landmark Midtown Art for stimulating sneak previews and discussions -- and all 25 seasons have been moderated by Emory Professor Matthew Bernstein. Join today to become part of Atlanta’s rich film history!
