John Ford’s towering Western classic returns to the big screen as The Frida Cinema celebrates the 70th anniversary of The Searchers!

When his niece is kidnapped by Comanches, Civil War veteran Ethan Edwards (John Wayne) embarks on a years-long search across the unforgiving Texas frontier, joined by his adopted nephew Martin (Jeffrey Hunter). What follows is an epic journey fueled by obsession, prejudice, and a determination that threatens to consume everyone involved.

With its breathtaking Monument Valley vistas and Wayne’s career-defining performance, The Searchers remains one of the most influential films in American cinema. See this landmark Western the way it was meant to be seen: on the big screen!

The new film On The Road (En el camino) from director David Pablos is coming to The Frida Cinema!

Veneno, a rebellious young drifter, frequents roadside diners where he sleeps with truck drivers. Urgently needing a ride, he meets Muñeco, a hard-edged driver who keeps to himself. He convinces Muñeco to take him deep into the hyper-masculine world of long-haul trucking across the north of Mexico. As they travel together and an unexpected intimacy builds between them, shadows from Veneno’s past resurface, putting both their lives at risk.

Winner of the 2025 Venice Horizons best film and Queer Lion awards, On The Road has been described as a racy, turbo-charged thriller that scorches up the big screen! Don’t miss your chance to see it!

From acclaimed filmmaker Paweł Pawlikowski (Ida, Cold War) comes Fatherland, a striking new black-and-white portrait of postwar Germany, starring Sandra Hüller and Hanns Zischler.

In the summer of 1949, Nobel Prize-winning author Thomas Mann returns to Germany after years of exile, embarking on a road trip with his daughter Erika across a country split between East and West. As they travel from American-occupied Frankfurt to Soviet-controlled Weimar, old wounds resurface and difficult questions emerge about national identity, artistic responsibility, and what it means to return home when the place you remember no longer exists.

With Pawlikowski’s signature visual precision and Hüller’s quietly commanding performance, Fatherland transforms a journey across a fractured nation into an intimate reckoning of guilt and the complicated bonds between parents and children. A true standout at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, Pawlikowski once again finds extraordinary emotional weight in what remains unsaid.

Two films. One nightmare. We’re bring the theatrical cut of Alien and the Director’s Cut of Aliens to The Frida Cinema for a double feature celebrating two of the greatest sci-fi films ever made!

First, Ridley Scott’s Alien sends warrant officer Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) and the crew of the Nostromo into a fight for survival against the perfect killing machine. Then, after a ten minute intermission, James Cameron’s Aliens brings Ripley back for a return trip to LV-426, where an entire colony has gone silent…and there’s a whole lot more than one Xenomorph waiting for them.

This very special pairing comes at the tail-end of celebrating the 40th anniversary of Aliens and also doubling as a tribute to the late, great Tom Skerritt!

Our Classic Movie Nights series is getting real screwy as we present the Katharine Hepburn/Cary Grant comedy classic Bringing Up Baby!

David Huxley, a mild-mannered paleontologist on the eve of marrying his longtime fiancée, has his carefully ordered life thrown into complete disarray when he crosses paths with the wildly unpredictable Susan Vance. After Susan mistakes him for a zoologist, the pair become entangled in a series of increasingly ridiculous mishaps involving a tame leopard named Baby.

Starring Grant and Hepburn at their most effortlessly hilarious, Bringing Up Baby is one of the defining films of Hollywood’s screwball comedy era. Howard Hawks’ knack for balancing plates during the escalating absurdity (and of course the chemistry of the two legendary leads) make it a timeless comedy that must be seen on the big screen!

Please make sure to get to this showtime early, as our beloved Marketing Director, Bekah, will be doing a pre-screening presentation on the film!
