Cover to Credits:
Book Club at RFC
The book was better. (Or was it?) Stop arguing with your friends about the book being better and come prove it at our ultimate film-lover's book club! Cover to Credits is a quarterly deep dive for those who love the spine of a book as much as the frame of a film. Read the source material at home, then come screen the adaptation at RFC and join the discussion. A cash bar will be available with beer and wine and your ticket includes one free drink! Read the words, see the vision, and join the conversation.
Friday Night Freakout
The Freakout is back! RFC's Friday Night Freakout series brings you the best of modern and classic cult movies, art films, and generally freaky films. These are the films you've asked for and our programmers love, but are too dangerous for a full run. The bar in Abby Singer's Bistro will be serving a themed cocktail special.
Heels and Reels
Presented by Porter’s Carpet Cleaners
This monthly dinner-and-a-movie series for women presents a popular movie and offers an elegant buffet dinner with a cash bar. The evening also features trivia and prize giveaways.

Regional Filmmakers Spotlight

Rewind
Be it a cult classic or a superhero gem, a Rewind movie has earned its place in history by cultivating a passionate fanbase and putting a strange and wonderful mark on cinema. Movie-lovers gather to celebrate uniquely memorable movies – from Alien to Batman, Jaws to Gremlins.
Silver Screening
Presented by AARP Louisiana
This matinee and luncheon for senior citizens showcases a classic film and provides an opportunity to explore the best of Hollywood’s past. Silver Screenings aims to offer a place for moviegoers to both celebrate classic film and discuss its value to their personal lives. Selections are drawn from the Hollywood classics generally made before 1975. RFC presents the series on the third Thursday of each month. The movie begins at 10:30 a.m. and is followed immediately by a buffet lunch.
PERIODIC SERIES & PROGRAMS
