Come celebrate the end of an era at the Frank Banko Alehouse Cinemas with this special double feature of two movies forever entwined together in cinema history!
The FBAC will be shutting its doors for a few days after this screening to install new projectors, so let’s say goodbye to the old projectors by showing two of the most important movies they ever projected: La La Land and Moonlight. You get two Oscar-winning movies – one of which has an Oscar the other one thought it had – for the price of one!
Sr. Director of Programming Ryan Hill and Programming Manager Anthony DeSanctis will host this screening prepared with info on what went down on Oscar Night 2017 – which we saw live at the FBAC – and some trivia plus tickets to some of the exciting programming coming to the cinemas for the rest of the year.

Written and directed by Academy Award® nominee Damien Chazelle, LA LA LAND tells the story of Mia , an aspiring actress, and Sebastian , a dedicated jazz musician, who are struggling to make ends meet in a city known for crushing hopes and breaking hearts.

Moonlight
2016 | R | 1 hr 50 min
Directed by: Barry Jenkins
Starring: Naomie Harris, André Holland, Mahershala Ali, Janelle Monáe, Trevante Rhodes
A timeless story of human connection and self-discovery, Moonlight chronicles the life of a young black man from childhood to adulthood as he struggles to find his place in the world while growing up in a rough neighborhood of Miami. At once a vital portrait of contemporary African-American life and an intensely personal and poetic meditation on identity, family, friendship, and love, Moonlight is a groundbreaking piece of cinema that reverberates with deep compassion and universal truths.
