Once again, the calendar slips past Labor Day and we enter Autumn in New England. For us at the Rockville Film Society, there is a wealth of exciting things happening.
October Movie Screening
On Saturday October 17th at 10:00 AM, we will be hosting the first in a continued series of public screenings at Rockville Public Library. We are so excited to announce that the first title will be Wes Anderson’s 2009 classic Fantastic Mr. Fox.
Fantastic Mr. Fox, adapted from the book by Roald Dahl, represents master craft in animation, screenwriting, and story.
Join us in the community for a pre-film talk with the founder of Lionheart Puppet Company. We will discuss stop motion animation and a brief history of puppets in film.
Stay tuned to this page and our Facebook page for more updates.
Fall Movie Season
The air is cooler in the mornings; the evening darkness creeps in earlier. Our schedules swell with family commitments and everything that fills our lives with joy, and at times, stress.
The overwhelming constant close to the guarantee that the seasons give us, is that artists will continue creating powerful stories.
Typically, we think of scary movies when it comes to the fall, and rightly so. The film that created the “Slasher” genre, is aptly named Halloween after all.
This beauty of the ball movie season is the diversity. For every mainstream driven horror hit targeted at audiences this October (we see you Other Mommy), there is a title in another genre looking to gather attention.
The Rockville Film Society continues to celebrate all movies, whether huge box office smashes or indie hits. Check out our continuously updated list of most anticipated fall films.
