The Sun Valley Museum of Art is jumping back into the movie business now that the Magic Lantern Cinemas has reopened.
The Museum plans to screen films weekly this fall, starting Thursday, Sept. 24, and continuing through December at Magic Lantern Cinemas in Ketchum.
In addition, the Museum plans to screen films the first Wednesdays of each month at The Liberty Theatre in Hailey, which has gone dark since Company of Fools cancelled its 2020-21 theater season.
This will give the community a chance to safely gather to see independent and documentary films as we head into the indoor season, said Kristine Bretall, director of performing arts for SVMoA: “Our community loves the movies, and we want to give everyone the chance to catch these beautifully crafted films on the big screen.”
Attendees are required to wear masks upon entry to the Magic Lantern, which has set up distanced seating in adherence to Centers for Disease Control guidelines. The SVMoA will provide a way for the films to be viewed from home, as well, for those uncomfortable with seeing them in-person.
The exception: The Manhattan Short Film Festival.
Tickets are $10 for SVMoA members and $12 for nonmembers, available at www.svmoa.org or by calling 208-726-9491.
