“A film that feels positively Dickensian in its scope and storytelling.” —@thenyff

BLITZ opens Fri, Nov 8 at the Belcourt — the latest film from Steve McQueen (Small Axe, 12 YEARS A SLAVE) follows the epic journey of a nine-year-old boy (newcomer Elliott Heffernan) in World War II London whose mother (Saoirse Ronan) sends him to safety in the countryside. Defiant and determined to return home, he escapes, only to find himself in immense peril. Alternately overwhelming and tender, McQueen’s dazzling film offers a multicultural portrait of a city in the grips of war. (Link in bio, or bit.ly/Belcourt-BLITZ)

Hey Witches! 🪄😏
Join us for our next meetup this Saturday, October 26th at 10 am @belcourttheatre for their “She’s a Witch!” seminar on the Witch in history and film, led by Jessica Lowe, lecturer in gender and sexuality studies at Vanderbilt University.

From the Belcourt:
“In this seminar, we’ll explore the figure of the witch in cinema, from 1922’s HAXAN to 2015’s THE WITCH and beyond. We’ll look at the earliest filmic depictions of the witch — in particular, films that explore the early modern witch and witch-hunt. We’ll think about legacies of the witch, changing depictions of the witch, and divergent ways both the witch and the “hunt” take on meaning.”

Hope to see you there! ✨

(🩸PS-for all of you Carrie voters out there, keep your eyes peeled🩸)

This Sat, Oct 26 at 10am — She’s a Witch! A Seminar on the Witch in History and on Film —led by Jessica Lowe, lecturer in gender and sexuality studies at @vanderbiltu. Tickets are $16 ($13 for members) — and free if you have a Shocktober Ticket 5-Pack (see link in bio, or bit.ly/Seminar-Shes-a-Witch.

Before witches became a Halloween season staple with their black hats, warts, and broomsticks, they were a figure of power and fear across the world and for thousands of years. But in 15th century Europe, a peculiar and ominous witch-figure was born: that of the diabolical witch, complicit in a continent-wide conspiracy led by the Devil himself. This early modern witch-figure contained within it fears of unruly gender, aberrant theological belief, and defiance of lawful authority. And, tragically, it was grimly instrumental in the European “witch-hunt” to come.

In this seminar, we’ll explore the figure of the witch in cinema, from 1922’s HÄXAN to 2015’s THE WITCH and beyond. We’ll look at the earliest filmic depictions of the witch — in particular, films that explore the early modern witch and witch-hunt. We’ll think about legacies of the witch, changing depictions of the witch, and divergent ways both the witch and the “hunt” take on meaning.

“DON’T LOOK NOW remains one of the great horror masterpieces, working not with fright, which is easy, but with dread, grief and apprehension. Few films so successfully put us inside the mind of a man who is trying to reason his way free from mounting terror.”” re #RogerEbert.

In May 2025, the Belcourt Theatre turns 100!

Throughout the upcoming centennial year, we’ll celebrate the Belcourt’s history, the people and groups that marked its many chapters, the communities that have shaped it, and the theatre’s place in Nashville’s past, present and future.

To help fund this celebration and its related projects, we turn to the generous community that has supported the Belcourt at so many important junctures. In honor and support of the Belcourt’s centennial year, we’ve launched the Belcourt 100 Donor Circle — to seek gifts of $1,000 from 100 donors, specifically in support of our centennial programs and events.

You can learn more about the Belcourt 100 Donor Circle at the link in our bio, or belcourt.org/belcourt-100-donor-circle.

“If someone handed you $114,000 and said go to Pittsburgh and make the scariest movie you can in black-and-white with no sound effects or real actors, you probably couldn’t top George Romero’s NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD. It’s the funniest but most real-looking horror film ever made.” —San Francisco Chronicle
