Open Caption Screening at The Plaza to Honor Deaf Awareness Month
September is Deaf Awareness Month. Join us Saturday, September 26th for an Open Caption afternoon screening at The Plaza! Members attend for free!
The Atlanta Film Festival is proud to present an Open Caption screening of "Here Comes the Boom" (for deaf and hearing people) in conjunction with the Plaza Theatre Foundation!
Here Comes The Boom
directed by Frank Coraci
Former collegiate wrestler Scott Voss (Kevin James) is a 42-year-old, apathetic high school teacher. When budget cutbacks threaten to cancel some of the school's programs and lay off its music teacher (Henry Winkler), Scott creates a scheme to raise money by moonlighting as a mixed martial arts fighter. Everyone thinks Scott is crazy - most of all the school nurse, Bella (Salma Hayek). In his quest, Scott gains something he never expected as he inspires his students and becomes a sensation that rallies the entire school.
Join us Saturday, September 26 at 2:30pm at The Plaza for our first event of its kind! Admission is $10, but members and their plus ones attend for free! Not yet a member and want year-round invitations to screenings and more? Become one today.

Enjoy a FREE SCREENING of Jazz classic "Passing Through" at the Plaza Theatre Thursday, April 9!
Larry Clark will be in attendance for a free screening of "Passing Through" at the Plaza this Thursday, presented by liquid blackness in partnership with ATLFF, Film Love and the Plaza Theatre Foundation.
liquid blackness invites you to an indispensable event in its experimental and collective, object oriented research project on the arts and politics of the jazz ensemble: a free screening of Larry Clark’s 1977 film Passing Through at The Plaza Theater on April 9 at 7:30pm followed by a conversation with the filmmaker.
Passing Through follows a jazz musician's struggle against the recording industry while in search of a "sound" that would reconcile his personal artistic vision with the sensibility of his community and the political urgencies of his highly repressive historical moment. The film reflects on the forms of sociality that coalesce around the jazz ensemble and on the political potential of free jazz. liquid blackness investigates these issues while attempting to create similar forms of collective engagement.
The April 9 screening presents a rare opportunity to see the legendary film, which circulated widely in international film festivals, but was never released on DVD or video. It will also offer the opportunity to converse with the filmmaker about his aesthetic and political choices and influences and the vibrant international life of the film.
liquid blackness is partnering with the Atlanta Film Festival, Film Love and the Plaza Theatre Foundation on this screening.

The Plaza Theatre Foundation's goal is to provide a screening space for organizations who want to benefit and enrich the community through film-based events.
This screening of "Romancing the Stone" will be focused on providing a screening opportunity for the Meetup group I Love Movies to benefit Project Open Hand at a later date in 2015. The more tickets sold will determine whether I Love Movies will get to screen on the Upstairs Screen at The Plaza Theatre or downstairs on the Main Screen and whether or not it will be a weekday or a weekend screening.
Meetup groups have long been important to the film community in Atlanta. Whether focused on filmmaking, cinema studies or particular niches, Atlanta's Meetup groups have been prominent on the film screen for many years. This event allows us to not only focus on a crucial and underrated component of our community but also benefit an important charity organization.
