Films build community through shared experiences.

NOMA presents a series of films—selected by award-winning producer and filmmaker Meryl Poster—followed by insightful special guests. Don’t miss your chance to revisit or discover modern classics on the big screen and gain behind-the-scenes insight into the film industry from leading figures.

Discussions will draw connections to art more broadly and celebrate cinema as an essential art form.

NOMA will screen Cinema Paradiso (1989) for this program, starting with a conversation with Poster. Doors open at 6:30 pm, the talk begins at 7:00 pm, and the film screening starts at around 7:45 pm.
