RVC Film Society to Hold First Screening April 4

The newly formed Rockville Centre Film Society will hold its first screening this week.

Starting April 4 at 9 p.m., the society will host a weekly movie screening every Thursday at Revolution Yoga, located at 7 N. Village Ave.

"Revolution Yoga is making an effort to nourish and support the local art scene, holding an art gallery show every few months, as well as poetry slams and open mic's with the Rockville Centre Youth Council," said Chad DePasquale, co-curator of the film society. "We are hoping to now do the same with the local filmmaking community.

Admission to each screening is $5. Each month will have a different theme, starting with '70s New Hollywood in April.

The first movie being shown is the 1971 flick "McCabe & Mrs. Miller," directed by Robert Altman.

"Our intention is to help cultivate cultural and social interaction in the local area," DePasquale said. "We have hopes to eventually support local filmmaking endeavors as well.
