Join The Frida Cinema for a special birthday fundraiser screening of Sydney Pollack’s romantic classic The Way We Were! This screening is generously underwritten by our beloved former Board President and Official Birthday VIP Laura Vasquez! 

Widely regarded as one of the greatest romance films of all time, and the first film Laura saw that made her fall in love with cinema, The Way We Were features Barbra Streisand and Robert Redford in a timeless story of when opposites attract against the backdrop of the post-WWII McCarthy era. 

Prior to the screening, The Frida’s Director of Marketing and Classic Movie Nights host Bekah Phillips will be giving one of her legendary informative and entertaining presentations on the history of the film. 

Always a champion for The Frida, Laura will also be matching the first $500 donated to The Frida before and during the event on her official birthday fundraiser page!  

Revenge gets ripped.

Our Nu-Classics pick for July is Rose Glass’ 2024 “be gay, do crime” thriller Love Lies Bleeding! And make sure to stick around after the screening as our host (and award-winning actor, screenwriter, and Youtuber) Maggie Mae Fish has a conversation about the film with actress, writer, and creator of Philosophy Tube, Abigail Thorn! 

Love Lies Bleeding follows a gym manager, Lou, that falls hard for Jackie, an ambitious bodybuilder headed through town to Las Vegas in pursuit of her dream. But their love ignites violence, pulling them deep into the web of Lou’s criminal family.

Celebrated for its intense tone, blending elements of a gritty crime thriller, dark comedy, and surreal body horror, Love Lies Bleeding is an experience tailor-made for the big screen!
