A world-famous orchestra conductor discovers the brother he never knew he had: a school cafeteria worker who plays trombone in a local marching band. Detecting his brother’s exceptional musical talent, he takes it upon himself to rectify the injustice of fate. This is The Marching Band, coming to The Frida Cinema starting on September 11th, 2026. 

The film premiered at Cannes Film Festival and became a French box office sensation. Starring Benjamin Lavernhe (My Donkey, My Lover & I) and Pierre Lottin (The Stranger), the film is an equally dramatic and comedic crowd-pleaser!

A family on the verge of a breakdown.

Little Miss Sunshine, one of the biggest breakout indie hits of all time, is coming back to The Frida Cinema in a brand new 4K restoration!

A family loaded with quirky, colorful characters piles into an old van and road trips to California for little Olive to compete in a beauty pageant.

Featuring the all-star cast of Steve Carell, Toni Collette, Greg Kinnear, Alan Arkin, Paul Dano, and Abigail Breslin, Little Miss Sunshine is the kind of movie that makes you laugh until your sides hurt, then quietly punches you right in the heart. Don’t miss it back on the big screen for its 20th anniversary!

Our Spielberg Summer series flies to Neverland with Hook, the once-maligned fantasy film that time has steadily re-appraised as one of Spielberg’s most heartfelt flights of imagination!!!

When grown-up lawyer Peter Banning (the former Peter Pan) returns to Neverland after Captain Hook kidnaps his children, he must rediscover the boy he forgot in order to lead the Lost Boys and face his old enemy. Along the way, he’s guided by Tinker Bell (Julia Roberts), challenged by Captain Hook (Dustin Hoffman), and slowly drawn back into a world of belief.

Initially met with mixed reception and criticized for its tone and excess, Hook has since been embraced by many as a deeply personal story about adulthood’s erosion of wonder and the struggle to reclaim it. Beneath the spectacle and whimsy is a film about imagination and the cost of forgetting how to play, revealing Spielberg’s enduring belief that growing up doesn’t have to mean letting go.

The Frida Zinema, in partnership with Corazón for Cuba, present their second Fundraiser for the People of Cuba!

As the United States’ economic embargo continues to tighten to maximum pressure and the case for military intervention on the island nation is unjustly made, the people of Cuba are left to fend for themselves. As of July 2026, Cuba has experienced three nation-wide blackouts, leaving its people in the dark with no access to essential medical facilities and supplies. Corazón for Cuba’s mission is to deliver critical medicine and humanitarian aid to the people who need it most. Where systems have failed and where hope feels distant, they act.

Join us for a fundraiser and documentary screening at The Frida Cinema on Saturday, September 12th at 1:30 PM! After the screening, President and co-founder of Corazón for Cuba, Dennis Cudd, will be joining us for an in-person discussion on the situation and how his organization helps the Cuban people. All proceeds, including auction and ticket sales, will go to Corazón for Cuba and bringing essential aid into Cuba!
