The San Diego Cinema Society is for those who love motion pictures—not simple movies, mind you. Its members enjoy the opportunity to discover carefully selected films even before they’re released to the general public, from both independent and major studios, along with beloved classics unearthed from the vault. Evenings include a formal introduction, screening of a film, followed by discussion. Eminent speakers in the industry are common guests.

On August 20^th, the Rancho Santa Fe Summer Cinema Series will commence at the Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club, with a movie screening and discussion led by Cinema Society Director Andy Friedenberg. Newcomers can sample the cinematic lifestyle for only $20. Visit www.cinemasociety.com for longer-term membership information.
