A Cinema Arts Centre favorite, the Preview Club returns this Spring with six nights of special advanced screenings of the year's best films! 

Curated by our new host: film producer, distributor, programmer, & publicist, Isil Bagdadi-Sergio; the Preview Club is a subscription series that gives our audience the opportunity to see some of the year's most highly anticipated films on the big screen before their official release dates. Each film screening will be accompanied by a discussion with special guests, often filmmakers, critics, actors, and other prominent film industry personalities. 

In the past, the Preview Club has featured such films as: Pedro Almodóvar's 'Pain and Glory', Céline Sciamma's 'Portrait of a Lady on Fire', the Oscar winning documentary, 'Free Solo', Hirokazu Kore-eda's Palme d'Or winner 'Shoplifters', the Academy Award Best Picture winner 'Green Book', 5X Oscar Nominee 'Lion', as well as 'Three Identical Strangers', 'Hearts Beat Loud', 'Chappaquiddick', and many others.

Our recent seasons included an advanced screening of 'Aftersun', which took home awards at Cannes, NYFCC, Gotham Awards, BIFA, and saw star Paul Mescal nominated for an Oscar. We also showed 'All the Beauty and the Bloodshed', which was awarded the top prize at Venice Film Festival and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature - as well as Joanna Hogg's 'The Eternal Daughter' - which was listed by numerous critics as one of the Best Films of 2022.

The Spring 2023 season begins on April 11th! Be the first of your friends to see this year's hottest new films, well ahead of their official New York release, with Cinema Art's Preview Club!

Spring Season 2023!

Cinema Arts Centre Preview Club

Special Advanced Screening Series!

As a member of the Cinema Arts Preview Club, you will attend special advance screenings of major new films prior to their New York release. The club features outstanding films from the festival circuit, always accompanied by discussions with guest speakers. Club members are invited to participate in the discussion. Films and guest speakers are a surprise until the night of the screening; where you will be introduced to a wide range of high-quality, discussion-provoking movies. The club is also a great social experience. Come early and schmooze. Members will fill out comment cards at each film, and the results and choice opinions will be read at the next film. The Cinema Arts Preview Club promises many unforgettable evenings this season and for years to come.

Our host, Isil Bagdadi-Sergio is an indie film producer, programmer, distributor and publicist. In 2001, Isil and her partner Michael Sergio started CAVU Pictures to produce and distribute cutting-edge, critically acclaimed and award-winning independent films. Isil has shepherded dozens of films into the marketplace and continues to champion independent filmmakers, artists and storytellers in every way she can.
