There will be live music, a food court and beverages, plus tours of backstage between screenings. The showings are scheduled to be on 35 mm prints in the original theatrical format, unless there’s a technical glitch.
Tickets for the entire day including the afterparty cost $65. It’s $45 to see the triple feature or $17 each for the individual films. They can be purchased on the Secret Movie Club website. secretmovieclub.com. Note that Sept. 6 is during Labor Day weekend.
