What we’re about
Richmond City Cinema Club is all about cultivating a community of movie lovers. Our club is meant to be a fun and inclusive safe space, an easy social experience. Life is messy, but movies are cool. There's no pressure if you can't make it or don't feel like engaging once you're there... we're just happy to have you! And if you're looking to make real friends, we got you there too.
Events are movie showtimes at the Byrd or Movieland (and maybe the occasional Regal trip for an IMAX film or limited engagement). All movies are fair game, from independents to blockbusters, from new releases to classic films.
Sit with the group or wherever you'd like. Once the credits roll, we’ll meet up to chat about the movie and get to know your fellow moviegoers.
Please start here to read our guidelines, follow us on Instagram, or join our Discord!
Upcoming events (4+)
See all- Beginners (2010)Studio Two Three, Richmond, VA
From Hard Light Cinema! RSVP (and a recommended donation to cover licensing costs) here: https://hardlight.online/2025/08/24/beginners-2010/
"Oliver meets the irreverent and unpredictable Anna only months after his father Hal Fields has passed away. This new love floods Oliver with memories of his father, who, following the death of his wife of 44 years, came out of the closet at age 75 to live a full, energized, and wonderfully tumultuous gay life – which included a younger boyfriend."
If this is your first movie with us, welcome! This screening is a "pay-what-you-can" screening to cover licensing costs, but we'd love to have you. Hosts will be there 10-15 min before showtime throughout the building. If it isn’t packed, we tend to spread out so people can relax their elbows. You’re welcome to sit with or come say hi! After the movie, we’ll be hanging around to chat.
Runtime: 105 minutes.
- Syndromes and a Century (2006)Richmond Public Library - Main Branch, Richmond, VA
The first movie in Hard Light Cinema's free Slow Sunday series at Richmond Public Library! RSVP here.
Syndromes and a Century is probably the easiest “entry” to Apichatpong Weerasethakul, so don’t be afraid or intimidated by this one. Come and join us in the early afternoon at the library, let your brain rest a bit, and let the soundscape of a Weerasethakul film wash over you. Bring your friends if they’re Letterboxd users or care about Oscars/Palme d’Or or come by yourself and make new friends because if you’re willing to watch free slow cinema on a Sunday afternoon, we’d love to meet you and become your friend!
Runtime: 105 Minutes.
