Art Talk – Phoenix Rising

-

Some people believe that good things will happen when the stars are in alignment. If you are one of those people, then here is some news for you. The impact of the stars, or maybe I should say Star Wars, will play a major role in introducing Naperville to a cinematic treat.

The After Hours Film Society, a non-profit organization that meets regularly at the Tivoli Theatre in Downers Grove, will host two of its upcoming programs at Classic Cinemas’ Ogden 6, 1227 East Ogden, Naperville in December and January.

Due to a contractual agreement with the distributor of “Star Wars Episode VII-The Force Awakens,” the After Hours group will not be able to meet in their usual location. Instead they opted for a temporary move to Naperville so that they would not need to cancel any of their screenings.

Naperville residents that are unfamiliar with the After Hours Film Society will get an opportunity to experience an art house quality film when the society screens the highly rated “Phoenix” at 7:30PM on December 21 for a special admission of $5. This rich Hitchcockian tale of mistaken identity will be accompanied by complementary refreshments and followed by a discussion led by local film professionals.

After Hours, a regular fixture in Downers Grove, has been bringing foreign, art and independent films to the suburbs for over 27 years. Normally meeting at the Tivoli Theatre, 5021 Highland, on the second and fourth Monday of the month, the group attracts an average audience of 440 people hungry for film fare that otherwise would only be available in downtown Chicago.

Programs are open to the public and memberships are available that allow for discounted admission.

Phoenix at the Ogden 6
1227 E. Ogden, Naperville
7:30PM Mon., Dec. 21
Special Admission: $5
