Reminder: Little Women at THE BLACK BOX on Tuesday, June 27 - 7 PM

Since the 2005 closure of the beloved Zeotrope Theatre, there has been an absence of steady programming for our local cinephiles.

With a generous Mass Cultural Council grant from the Franklin Cultural District, Town Councilor Cobi Frongillo, in collaboration with THE BLACK BOX, is piloting a 3-film monthly series to assess the local appetite for more regular independent, arthouse, foreign, and classic film screenings. The films are screened at 7 PM on the last Tuesday of the month at THE BLACK BOX (15 W Central St, Franklin, MA 02038).

The third and final film of the pilot, Little Women (2019), will be screened on Tuesday, June 27th. This most recent production of the classic Louisa May Alcott novel - partially filmed in Franklin! - garnered six Academy Award nominations, including for Best Picture, Best Actress (Saoirse Ronan), and Best Supporting Actress (Florence Pugh). Greta Gerwig established herself as one of the most exciting young directors, adding a refreshing lens and rejuvenated spirit to the beloved tale. Once again, the novel itself will be in stock all month at Escape Into Fiction!

Popcorn and other refreshments will be available for purchase. This is a pilot program, so the group welcomes any feedback as they build out and improve the cinematic experience. 

Tickets will be sold at the door for a suggested $5 donation. All are welcome!
