Come watch the annual movie awards at the theater!

On Sunday, March 2, Rialto Cinemas Cerrito will have a viewing party of the big movie awards show. The event will be a benefit for the Albany Film Festival, which has moved to the Cerrito since the Albany Twin Theater closed its doors. In addition to the awards show, there will be food and beverages, a costume contest, trivia, and prizes. Our friend Melissa Hatheway will host the event.

The red carpet will start at 3 pm, and the awards will start at 4 pm. Tickets are $49, including all the food, drinks, and games.

Please click here for more information, and here to buy tickets on line. You can also buy tickets at the box office. We advise you to buy your tickets early, as the event will probably sell out.

We’re looking forward to seeing you at the theater!
