About the Cinema Club

Associated for seventeen years with the “Key Sunday Cinema Club,” The Cinema Club is the nation's exciting new sneak preview film society. On select Sunday mornings in eight different cities two seasons out of the year, Cinema Club members preview and discuss the best American independent and foreign films of the season. Always a secret until the day of the screening, our movies are shown before their local release, letting our members view and respond to them with true surprise and spontaneity.

After each screening, our distinguished moderators – local film experts, professors and critics – lead a forty-five minute discussion with club members directly in the theater. At many of our showings, our moderators are joined in discussion by fellow film scholars, esteemed film critics and occasionally filmmakers themselves.

Our distinguished group of programmers have been guiding film societies, academic programs and even popular film festivals for over a decade. We attend dozens of leading festivals around the globe, always keeping our eyes open for the next Cinema Club gem.

The Cinema Club operates in eight cities nationwide:
Atlanta, Boca Raton, Boston, Milwaukee,
New Haven, San Francisco, St. Louis & Washington DC

The founders of the “Key Sunday Cinema Club,” Seena and David Levy, operated specialty theaters in the Washington DC area for 30 years. In the fall of 1992, the KSCC opened at Washington's Key Theatre, and by its second series in the winter of 1993, it was sold out.
