Cinema Paradiso

The Cinema Club Sneak Preview Film Society

Blind dates with an oenophile, financial whiz, and surgeon sounded promising. But the wino, cheapskate, and Dr. Handsy did not make for happy endings.

Perhaps you can get one at The Cinema Club.

Starting next weekend, the preview movie society will host Sunday morning screenings and discussions of on-the-verge American and foreign films at Landmark Midtown Art Cinema.

Film titles aren’t revealed until the house lights go down, so we’re in the dark about upcoming events. (If past sneak peek screenings of then-little-known flicks like Two Lovers, Slumdog Millionaire, and Then She Found Me are any indication, we’re in for a treat.)

Author and Emory film prof Matthew Bernstein moderates a postshow conversation, and anyone’s welcome to chime in.

Even the likes of the peanut gallery.

The Cinema Club at Landmark Midtown Art Cinema, 931 Monroe Drive (202-679-3456 or thecinemaclub.com).
