Celebrate the works of David Lynch at Rialto Cinemas Cerrito!

Director, producer, and screenwriter David Lynch, the master of the offbeat and surreal, left behind an impressive body of work when he died this past January at the age of 78. To celebrate and honor his achievements, Rialto Cinemas Cerrito will have a week-long retrospective series featuring some of his greatest films. From March 28 through April 3, the Cerrito will screen nine of his feature films, as well as a set of his short films. Many of the films will be shown more than once. Here’s the schedule:

The Elephant Man is a brand-new 4k restoration that was overseen by David Lynch himself.

All showings will have the regular ticket prices, but Rialto Cinemas Movie❤️Lover card holders will be able to purchase tickets to any of the films for $9 per admission. All films are separate admission. Tickets will be on sale for all performances beginning this Saturday, March 22nd. You can buy them either on-line or at the box office.

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!
