It’s just around the corner! Our 2024 Film Trivia Night Fundraiser on Thursday, September 12! And just a week left to get your tickets (by next Tuesday, September 10). All info and tickets at link in bio, or bit.ly/Film-Trivia-Night.
And in case you didn’t make it to 2023’s inaugural Film Trivia Night, here’s peak at last year. It’s fun, it’s casual, and yes, it’s a little competitive (for some teams more than others). Doors open at 6:00pm, we’ll have light bites and libations, and trivia gets underway at 7:00pm.
Teams compete in rounds for a chance to win some fun prizes and, of course, major bragging rights. Planning to form a team? Select a team captain and include that person’s name when you purchase tickets. No team? No problem! We’ll assign you one!
“…Finally arriving in the U.S., it might be the best film released this year, and it will only enhance Erice’s reputation as a living patron saint of unfinished cinematic projects… Carries a powerful current of hope — in the way it asks us to think about life as it’s lived as a force of awesome, incomprehensible beauty.” —bilgeebiri @vulturemag
From 84-year-old director Victor Erice (50 years after making SPIRIT OF THE BEEHIVE), CLOSE YOUR EYES comes to the Belcourt in a limited engagement from Fri, Sep 6 through Thu, Sep 12.

Now playing Nathan Silver’s BETWEEN THE TEMPLES — starring Jason Schwartzman and Carol Kane (Thu’s 8pm screening is introduced by Cantor Tracy Fishbein and Nashville Jewish Film Festival). Tickets at link in bio, or bit.ly/BETWEEN-TWO-TEMPLES
In BETWEEN THE TEMPLES, Ben (Schwartzman) is a 40-something cantor losing his voice and possibly his faith. Struggling to meet the expectations of his rabbi, his congregation, and not one but two Jewish mothers (Caroline Aaron and Dolly de Leon), Ben finds his world turned upside down when his grade school music teacher re-enters his life as an adult bat mitzvah student. Immeasurably elevated by the chemistry between Kane and Schwartzman, BETWEEN THE TEMPLES is an energetic and irreverent HAROLD AND MAUDE for the modern day.
Put your movie knowledge to the test at the Belcourt’s Film Trivia Night Fundraiser! It’s happening Thu, Sep 12! And tickets are now on sale (thru Tue, Sep 10). All details at link in bio, or bit.ly/Film-Trivia-Night.

This Mon, Aug 19 at 8pm for #MusicCityMornings — MY MORNING JACKET: OKONOKOS, with an in-person introduction from My Morning Jacket’s @carlbroemel. (Tickets at link in bio, or bit.ly/MY-MORNING-JACKET)
This new 4K version of the acclaimed 2006 live concert film captures a blistering two-hour performance from the band’s Nov 2005 two-night stand at the legendary Fillmore Auditorium in San Francisco, mixed in 5.1 audio. OKONOKOS encapsulates My Morning Jacket at a peak moment in their career. Filmed and recorded on Nov 11-12, 2005 during the Z tour, the set draws heavily from that record and its predecessor “It Still Moves” for a scorching and exhilarating live concert experience which Spin Magazine described as “an aesthetic-and-career-defining set…the album they were destined to make.”
