The Film Salon is an ongoing monthly film series created by Charles Horak and devoted to the screening and appreciation of classic and important works of the cinema. Its goal is to expose audiences to films, foster discussions, build a community of cinephiles and enhance our understanding of our moving image heritage.

At its core, The Film Salon is a monthly reminder that movies are a communal activity. Since our first screening of Citizen Kane on May 3rd, 2002, we’ve met on the first Saturday of each month, rain or shine (actually, that first year we met on the first Friday of each month). For over fourteen wonderful years, we met in the chapel of Trinity-First United Methodist Church.

In June of 2016, The Film Salon announced the launch of a new phase in its evolution and a move to the newly opened Alamo Drafthouse Cinema. With a screening of The Treasure of the Sierra Madre on July 2nd, 2016, The Film Salon inaugurated this new partnership.

There is seemingly no end to the great films we’ve yet to watch, so expect The Film Salon to go on, for a very long time.
